Part 1: Today was supposed to be my fairytale day. My perfect wedding day. I made my way to David, he took my hand in his, walking us closer to the long faced man who would be marrying us. The officiant started, greeting the room full of all my family, all of David's family. Going through the first reading easily. Giving their peace on the joy of marriages, it was bland, but acceptable. Moving along, the officiant announced in a loud voice, "If anyone here knows of any reason why these two should not be lawfully wed, let them speak now, or forever hold their peace." The officiant boomed over the crowd. I was caught off guard. This part was supposed to be just a formality, just a box to tick. No one was supposed to say anything. The world started to go in slow motion as Verity moved behind me a flicker in the corner of my vision. "David, I can't hide anymore." He said. As David's eyes went from me, to Verity, filled with concern. David looked over my head at Verity while he was holding my hands in his. I heard the crowd gasp, before everyone started to whisper. David dropped my hands. The whispers increased in intensity. Making the room sound like it was full of hissing snakes. David's attention wasn't anywhere near me. I looked up to see him looking over my head at my brother. With a look I had thought he had saved just for me, my heart breaking as my fairy tale became a nightmare. Part 2 also complete July 2023.

❝Do you realize how messed up we are, hiding our honest feelings just because we wanted to be stereotypically normal?

However, despite all her attempts, the entire universe makes her feel like an outcast for being brought up by a gay couple. Her dads are her life but since the arrival of puberty, the only thing she had ever acquired was a jar full of insecurities that made her vulnerable about her very awesome dads. Peter Hemmings and Noah Benedict, soon realise how their daughter was suffering because of their decision of being together and go against the societal norms. Infuriated and dejected, they collectively decide to go make her switch schools. Pride High School. A school was established for homosexuals and people who had been discriminated against based on their gender preferences. Kirlia, however, had a minute issue. She was straight and straights were despised in Pride High. Caught up in a mix of 'heterophobes', it's almost hard to dodge them without getting involved with 'The Scandalous Six', now seven, a gang of those who don't care about people more than baseless prejudices. Being scandalous and friendly, she gets a gang of weirdos who become her beam of sanity. But soon the fury of attraction and prejudices collide, making it almost impossible to run away from reality. How far would Kirlia go to get her piece of love? Or will she be restricted by the prevailing stereotypes? ***** ©sarcastic-mess/2022 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 :: June 2022 𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 :: ???

I stepped forward and asked, "Where do you want me?" It took me a second to realize what I just said. Shit! I placed a hand on my crimson face and muttered, "Get your head out of the gutter! You know what I meant." He laughed, his voice sounded hoarse and deep even when he's laughing. I peeked at him from the gap I made between my fingers. He was close. So close. He grabbed my hand and took me to the bed. Damn! It did sound sexy. His shirt was loose. Too large for me, and it hung on me like a cloth hung on a hanger. He sat on the bed, criss crossed and pulled me to him. ♡♡♡♡♡ The thing about love is... its unpredictable. Even when you don't want love, it just happens.
