Hetero

"This was a society, in which, character was nothing and sexuality was everything."

Ever since I was a baby, I was told that 'Heteros', as many like to call them, were the outcasts of society. Abominations, my mothers had called them.

My mothers had both said that I was a beautiful girl, therefore it would be easy for me to snatch up the girl I wanted, and then, take the step into marriage when both she and I were ready. We had it all planned out.

They had it all planned out.

But then high school came, and the inevitable happened; I fell in love. The only problem was, it wasn't how my mothers had planned everything. I just couldn't help myself.

I fell in love with a boy.

Little did I know, Hetero would be the only thing I would be known as.

A filthy, vile, outcasted, Hetero.

Loving the opposite sex was considered worse than even the worst of crimes.

So that's exactly what I did.
