I'm not crazy, I know this. I just don't want to interact with the evil things outside. They started telling me I was crazy that one day.
It all started on a regular day, I was being bullied because I like this one guy. My best friend,whose name I forget but he was tall I think and had purple eyes, anyway I admitted my feelings to him. Of course he freaked out and stopped hanging out with me. None of my siblings knew of course, I'm great at hiding things.
So I was eating lunch, a pork meat bun to be exact, alone on the bench outside when several boys came along and spotted me. Walking up to me one of them said, "Hey fag. Heard you got rejected." I stayed quiet and noticed a teacher in the corner of my eye. One of them got behind the bench and shoved me off. They hurried to grab some pebbles to pelt me hurt a lot so I got up and using kung fu I won easily.
I felt proud actually and celebrated my small upstanding on the inside before another teacher walked in. "What did you do? Principles office now." the woman demanded as she helped the boys. I got there and told my side then I had to wait in the waiting room. I took a nap and when I woke up, it was the end of the school day before I was called in. "I am ashamed of you, Yao. You're a straight A student. I wouldn't ever suspect you to lie." "What?" "Mr. Ida told me what happened that you attacked them out of now where. You are hereby suspended for a week."
I didn't understand why he lied, that or he was mistaken so I went to tell Mr. Ida the truth. "Mr Id,a I wasn't the one who started the fight." "I know, you homo." "What?" "You didn't start it but one less gay at this school makes it better." I had no better comeback or maybe I was just speechless so I left, where the worse part of life hit hard exactly at heart.
I thought as a family we could always support each other but life isn't like that. It was an awkward tension at dinner before Kiku broke it calling me a disgrace. I called him a hateful waste of space. He got so angry, he stabbed me in the back with his katana. That night he left and didn't comeback. The others healed me right up but they refused to talk to me. I even tried to make small talk but they continuously ignored me.
Unfortunately at school the bullying continued even more then when I was suspended yet now I couldn't fight back. I got really depressed to the point where my heart was hurting constantly. I wanted to see what form it would take physically so I started cutting. This lasted several months because it really good. At some point I started taking sleeping pills due to night terrors. It was amazing when I did I wouldn't see the mean people anymore just colored blobs and meet amazing NICE ones. I was walking the street one day when I meet a statue with a teakettle for a hat. He had a bag with many 3d cylinders all colored blue and all of them were crawling. The statue made flying cranes pop out of his mouth.
Although after a while I stopped seeing these amazing features of life so I took more and more. I accidentally fell asleep one time and I woke up in a bouncy castle with others like me, kindred souls. I haven't seen any of my family yet or friends but who needs them when you have a hero.
This is my happy routine now, everyday I wake up anytime I want. I skip to find my hero, my cat doll in hand. My hero was different from the everyone else. He was human but his hands bound because he's so strong everyone starts to beg for him not to make them cry and he wore majestic king clothing. Then a smiling blob would be right beside my hero's room to hand me a list of fun things like treasure hunts though I do have to read and other things like that. On these treasure hunts my hero protected me saving me from the blobs in orange or the ones with an angry expression by tackling them away though before he used to punch them. At the end of the day we would share the fruits of labor before we read, talked, or played games. Later when I was tired he dropping me off at my room before walking himself. Its funny sometimes I remember why I'm here other times not. Vaguely I remember silver hair, chubby cheeks, and a smile but its quickly replaced by the hero, making me smile and sleep easy for another day.
