Hiros note. the day of silence tag.
Shuichi kept looking at Hiro who signaled like crazy at him, a paper was pinned on his shirt. Hiro finally getting the pink haired one attention, passed him a note, looking at it them he opened it.
Shu, why aren't you supporting 'day of silence?' I thought you would considering that, well you know what it is, you do know don't you, they were announcing it all last week, well I got you one, here's yours,…get your own pin.
Shuichi looked at the paper, that was folded within the note " day of silence, please understand--" Shuichi was cut off my the bell. the day was normal as most, but about half the school didn't talk, and no one beat him up or called him gay.
The silence for the most part extended after school, even as he walked to his apartment he was silent, until he turned the last corner , he was grabbed and slammed in the brick wall. 3 faces leered in front of his, a butterfly knife was in the tallest ones hands, and he was the only one who didn't hold him down. " so the pretty fag boy thinks he's something special? Maybe if I cut your face you'll learn your lesson you fag?" he asked bringing the knife down, the blade cut the skin, and was pulled back, before the leader had the chance to bring it down again a large rock hit his hand making him drop the knife.
Someone from school, just by the uniform, but someone he never saw or talked to was standing there, the boy ran off, making the ones who harassed Shuichi follow him, a paper blow in the wind, another 'day of silence' tags, it read: Day of Silence Please understand my reasons for not speaking today. I am participating in Day of Silence, a national youth movement protesting the silence faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and their allies. My deliberate silence echoes that silence caused harassment, prejudice, and discrimination. Ending the silence is the first step towards fighting these injustices. Think about the voices you are not hearing today. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO END THE SILENCE?
Shuichi noted that a few parts were highlighted, their allies, harassment, prejudice, Think about the voices you are not hearing today. Smiling Shuichi thought, ' maybe its not so bad after all.'
