The Skeleton Boy

My name is Maxilla Ulna and I'm known as 'The Skeleton Boy', or Maxi to those who actually care. I'm just like any other teenage boy, I go to school, I come home and nap, watch internet videos and go back to sleep only to do it all again the next day. Before you ask, no I don't masturbate or have a partner, i'm aromatic & asexual.

The reason I'm telling you all this, is because I'd like to share the story of the day I came out. No, not as gay, I'm sure I just went over this. It was time for me to take the skeleton out of the closet, I.e me. I'm very conscious about how I look. I wear lots clothes and makeup to stop the staring, It works.

But one day I decided not to, I wanted to show everyone the real me. I walked to school, alone, this time with no makeup on, and simply just jeans and a top. Everyone was staring in disbelief the whole way there, some fainted, others screamed, I carried on walking. I don't care what they think of me.

I got to school on time, still everyone was staring, like they'd seen a living person. Did i mention that I know why they stare. I this world of ghosts, zombies and vampires alike, I was the only skeleton.
