I don't own this or anything else for that matter so there. Now on with what you really came for.

How long do I have to hide this secret. I want to scream every time some one says they love him. I hate that no one knows about us. Kairi says it's to much for others to know just yet, but I hurt when girls crawl over each other just to see him. Riku is mine! They can't have him. They don't know and that fact kills me. My own parents don't know about me being gay. I can't stop thinking about today as I go to meet Riku. My mom thinks I'm out with Kairi, but she only comes to keep watch for people. I see him now standing there by the water and he smiles at me. I can't help but to run to him and tackle him into the water.

"What is it Sora? Why are you crying?" he says stroking my hair.

"I hate it! I hate all of it! They won't listen to me and not one of those Barbie dolls care About what their words do to me! I want to scream at them. Shake them until they don't speak."

I can't stop the words as they tumble from my lips. He holds me closer and I can feel his heart beat. It makes me think about two others like us. Karasu and Kit, they told the whole island that they were lovers and when people started to say mean things they stopped because Karasu isn't some one you say things about with out dying. Maybe we could be like them.

"I don't like it either but if we say something there will be no end to the torture they'll put us threw. They won't leave either of us alone. Please Sora wait just a little longer," Riku says kissing me.

He's right, I know this. But it still bothers me as we part for the night.

School the next day is a nightmare. Kit giggles as Karasu whispers to her and they hug as class is about to start. I envy them so much. They don't have to keep it a secret.

"Riku is so hot!! I so can't believe he's single." I hear one girl say.

"sounds to me like he would rather have a boyfriend then a girlfriend," Karasu whispers looking at me.

"I so am asking him out!" a blonde girl squeals.

No, no more of this I am saying it I'm through with hiding.

"Riku is mine so back off!! He would never been seen with skanks like you all!!"

Every one looks at me stunned. Then comes what Riku said would happen.

"You lying loser! Riku would never want a freak like you!"

Then a hit to my face and another hit and I was on the ground getting kicked by both girls and boys.

"Fag, fag, fag, Sora is such a freak!!" they yelled.

I was in tears when a punch was thrown at the some of the kids and I was helped up. Kit was helping me to the door while Karasu beat some other kid in the face. We ran from the class room and Karasu went to find Riku.

I couldn't stop crying, even when Riku came to my side. The bruises and the cut on my lip might hurt later but right now my pride hurt more.

"I'm so sorry Sora this shouldn't have happened it's all my fault," he said kissing my wounds.

Karasu and Kit left to give us privacy and to watch for teachers.

"No it's not your fault. I should have kept my mouth shut, but those girls just wouldn't shut up," I cried.

"It'll be ok. Now we can deal with this together. When you hurt, I hurt and I will fix this."

His words were so sweet and they made me believe that he could. All of this would go away.

We didn't go to school the next day and the weekend wasn't fun either. Mom and Dad were okay considering Roxas was dating Axel. Riku got kicked out of his house, so he lives with us.

School was as bad as I thought, but Karasu and Kit made it easier for us. Roxas, Axel, and Kairi also supported us. Soon things will get better because now I don't have to hide any more.
