Back when i was in eight grade, a rumor about me being gay circulated, i could remember that day as if it was yesterday.
Where every kid drew their desk away from me like i was some kind of disease.
Where i was stuck in the middle roll isolated from everyone else.
Where the teachers would steal glances at me while teaching.
And where i'm always left to hang my head low like some criminal.
All just because of my personality. All just because i'm not to man enough to be straight, because i prefers books than sports, because of having a squeaky voice, and because of the way i sway my body. Everyone looked at me like i was an... abomination.
But above every other thing, i feared what grandma thinks, afraid of how she see me... an abomination.
No. To my surprise, she ignored everything other thing, looking me straight into my eyes. "No matter what you're, or who you're, i would always love you. And if one day the world's turn it's back at you, i promise, i would always be here for you."
That was what she said that day, and when i stared into her gaze, all i could see was genuine sincerity in them.
But the next day, i was the one clutching the frame of the person that promised to always be with me.
Quick note: a chapters will be published every Thursday till the end. Thanks for reading. Enjoy!π₯°

"Sunshine, what guy do you know has a weird fetish with sign language?"
She's the aftermath of a high school party nightmare. Tragedy robbed her of her innocence and stole her voice before she had the chance to speak out. The court called her a liar, and the guilty was set free. Now memories plague her mind and trap her in solitude.
She was forced to learn sign language, struggling to find a way to voice her silence.
He's the definition of the boy she tried to stay away from. The epitome of harsh rumors and hopeless fantasies. The source of lies and blame. He's analyzed, misunderstood, and utterly mysterious.
And he may be the one to find her voice.
When they meet, she gets accustomed to his arrogance and he gets accustomed to her silence. An essay is what brings them together, but what happens when he starts asking too many questions?
Will her past continue to drag her down, or will he save her?
Fate has a funny way of bringing people together, but it doesn't always work how it's supposed to.
