How it began

When I was in Middle School i had many different hair styles..
Like a bob, bangs, shoulder long, a side cut...
But i never really was satisfied with my hair. Then when I was in 9th grade i just cut it off. But with the short cut the bulying began.
I heard things like
"You look like a boy"
"When you're a girl, why do you have short hair?"
"Are you trans?"
"Are you lesbian?"
"No boy will ever date you."
"Do you even want to date?"
"A girl with short hair isn't a real girl."

I tried to ignore these things but.. how can i ignore my whole life?
When we first moved to another city i took the chance to start a new life.
I invented a new human, a new me.
That new me was Makoto. A boy.
I never heard things like before when i was known as a girl.
Now I can easier make friends. And I think that some girls even have a crush on me.

Just at home I'm a girl..
Just at home I'm Mizuki.
