Me and my sister sat in our room, listening to the arguing outside. I wish I never said anything to Mom about what happened at school today..
Today, during recess, an older kid attacked my and my sister. When we got away, they yelled at us, saying our family was full of f*ggots. I don't know what it meant, but it still hurt.
And now, our moms are arguing, because I couldn't make up an excuse for what actually happened. I don't like lying, but I'd rather lie than see my parents fight.
I hear a snippet of what's going on. I can hear (Maia) yell something along the lines of, "I don't want them to have to grow up like I did. They don't deserve that!"
The yelling finally stops, and they both come into our room. I wipe my eyes, looking at the hurt look in my (Maia)'s eyes. It hurt seeing her like this. (Layla) spoke first. "I'm sorry you guys had to sit through that, but we've reached a decision. Neither of you will go to school, until the school makes an action against these kids. Physical violence is never okay.." (Maia) spoke up next. "And what those kids called us, it's hard to explain. But we will try. That word.. It's a very bad and mean word called a 'slur'. They use it against people like me and Layla, because we're both girls, and we're married." My sister spoke up, ("Why did they call you that if it's so mean..?") (Maia) sighed, tears coming to her eyes. "I don't know, people just don't like others who are different. I don't know why though.."
(Layla) sets a hand on both of our shoulders. "I know it will be difficult, but as of now, it's our only option. People like that, they don't see us as humans. They see us as demons, and there's nothing we can do about it.."
Monoko snaps, crying, ("WHY?! WHY DO THEY HAVE TO BE SO MEAN TO US?! WE DID NOTHING WRONG! We did nothing wrong..") (Maia) pulls her into a hug, trying to help her calm down.
Maybe that's what Chara meant, when they said that the surface would never be the same when we got back. Maybe they meant that people would change for the worse, and start hurting instead of helping. I hate this. I want my family to be safe. That's all I want..
Is it too much to ask..?
