I'm Delilah. And I'm not your average girl. I don't obsess over looking pretty. I don't go over the top to make guys like me. Heels hurt my feet, dresses make my legs feel to free, and makeup makes my face feel clumped up. My usual day starts like this....

Beep,beep,beep! I jump awake and hit my alarm clock to the floor.

"Ughhh," My head plops back onto my pillow and I hid under my covers.

"Delilah, get up" My mom yells from downstairs. See my mom always wants me to be on time for school and all that crap. My dad on the other hand supports me sleeping in, he says it's good for my health. But really it's because I was and reading and scrolling through Tumblr until about 4 am this morning. I roll out of bed and turn on my music as loud as I can. I walk over to my dresser and pull out some sweatpants and my 'Wibbly, wobbly, timey, wimey' shirt and put them on. I go to the bathroom to brush out my mess of ombré wavy hair and put it into a messy bun. I go and grab Graceling off my nightstand; and my phone; and walk downstairs.

"Morning," I say walking to the fridge for some milk. "How's life?"

"Delilah, you're going to be late for school," My mom says handing me a donut.

"So," I ask biting into it. My mom sighs as I eat my donut and watch Doctor Who.

"Ash," My mom calls to my sister. "You ready to go?" Ash hops downstairs and says "Yup! Delilah are you gonna be late again?"

"Does it matter," I ask her and she shrugs as she walks with my mom into the garage. See my sister Ash is Lesbian. And she's lucky enough to have parents who support that... unlike most families... For years she was picked on for it, and then Pride Forever started.
