I could remember the memory as if it was yesterday..

"Hello,"

I turned around and looked up to see who was calling for me. This was the first time that anyone has even recognized me.

"Hi," I say shyly as he sat down next to me.

"Why are you all alone?" He asked me.

At the time I didn't know the answer. Probably because I was five, but let's continue.

"I.. I don't know" I told him as I looked into his light brown eyes.

"Well no one should be lonely," he informed me with a smile. "What's your name?"

"Noah.."

"Well Noah my name is-"

"Noah!"

"Daniel!" I woke up in shock, not even realizing what I have said.

The whole class looked at me. Some in shock, and others just plain confused. Dammit...

I could hear little mumbles from the other side of the room. They were probably all wondering who Daniel even was, or simply making the common comment "gay".

"Noah," my math teacher, Ms. Williams called. "Can you please go up to the board and do number seven?"

I nodded my head and got up from my seat. As I walked by, there was more mumbles in the distance, but I ignored it. That was simply all I could do. The struggle was real, but at least I didn't have to face it only. Lucky for me, some of my friends and I are having the same problem. But we go through it together.

When I finally get to the board, I pick up the marker and all of a sudden the bell rings. Thank God.

"Noah, I want you to do that problem next week okay?"

"Yes ma'am," I said, as I gathered my things and left for the day.

As I exited the school, I decided to walk home today. I had to get my mind off him. I just can't believe our friendship had to end all because-

The memory was too much for me to handle. After he left, I couldn't handle myself. My parents started taking me to therapy to "change" my behaviors.

After they found out that didn't work, they sent me off to the camp. I had some really bad memories. I spent a couple of years there, and it still didn't work. My parents finally decided to give up.. Thankfully. But it was until a few months ago when they started to accept me.

I know that they were trying to do what was right for me (even though it wasn't), but I still can't accept everything that has happened in my childhood. But they still love me... Which is step in the right direction.

I still wonder what Daniel is doing, or if he even still remember me. If we ever meet again and he didn't remember me, I don't know what I would do with myself. The thought of him forgetting me would tear my heart to pieces one by one...

Hope you enjoyed that little preview of Him! I'm really excited to do this book like I enjoyed writing my last one. Byee <3
