"Mom, I'm hungry!" Topher screamed.
"Um excuse me, don't we have a kitchen? " said his mother.
"Well yes, but I have an exquisite taste for food we have to drive to."
"Ya know, you should be more grateful of what we have, you actually have a lot of food to snack on compared to most of your ratty little 'friends' you talk to."
Topher and his mother weren't the closest, but they were all they had, plus his brother, Ryder. Topher was around fourteen years old, although constantly mistaken for a twelve year old, which he hated. On the other hand, he loved the attention.
"Moooooooom I just realized something." He slumped in the back seat and whined.
"WHAT Topher? That you're straight and you just now, hopefully, realized it just now?"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA you are totes hilare. But no I was gonna say how I didn't have a life whatsoever and just realized it."
"BOOOOOOOY getcha life!!!"
"Mom really though? You wanna do this to me? Did you hear the part where I said I didn't have one? I feel like you missed that whole part. That's exactly why I need a Titter."
The mother instantly snaps."Little boy, don't come for me. I am yo' momma and you don't take that tone with me. Now, the only reason you don't have a life is because you have no social skills, because you're gay. So just be ungay and you can be normal. And it's not Titter it's Twitter. Titter is not going to happen."
"Oh just how fetch didn't happen, right right. THAT IS THE RUDEST THING YOU HAVE EVER SAID TO ME, MOTHER! "
"Hold on, let me order this food then flame you up. Even you're the flaming one. Because you're-."
Topher was about tired of his mother and her words so he quickly cut her off."-GAY. You're welcome."
As his mother ordered the food, he thought about what she said. He felt so horrible to his stomach for even thinking of disappointing his mother, but knew that he literally couldn't change how he felt about boys.
Back at home, Topher stumbled upon a little diary. He remembered that his father gave it too him. He decided to write that night.
