The Boy In Yellow Pants

Kazama (age 15)
I just know I have to hide this. Just like how i hide everything that interested me, from figurines i collect to how I never really enjoy violin classes my mother put me through. "A Toru child must be perfect" she'd say. Me liking boys is so out of what my mother could even imagine that i could never risk her finding out. But as I see the boy I've known more than half my life, my heart fluttered. I had to be into guys, but did it have to be this annoying brat of a guy who doesn't take anything seriously
