Harley was only five years old. He was having his first day of Kindergarten.

He found a boy he had a crush on in class. He was nervous at first, but he eventually made up the nerve to talk to him.

"Hello? I'm Harley."

"Hello."

"What's your name?"

"I'm Ronaldo."

"Okay. Do you want to play with me? I'm okay with doing whatever you like."

"Okay. The other boys were just about to play kickball. Want to come?"

"Okay."

So they walked up to the other boys.

"Hey. Could Harley join us?"

"No! We don't want any girl with us!"

"I'm not a girl! I'm a boy!"

"No, we don't want any gay boy either."

This made Harley mad. "Gay? I'm normal!"

"You look like a girl, and you talk like a girl, that means you're gay!"

"Ronaldo! Please help me! Say I'm not gay!"

"I'm sorry, you look pretty gay to me."

"Ronaldo!"

"Sorry!"

Harley ran off and cried. Ronaldo played with the other boys.

Later that night, Harley told his mom what happened.

"Mom! Can I talk to you!?"

"Okay. Let me hear it."

"I met a boy named Ronaldo."

"Oh. Is that so?'

" Yeah. And then I asked him to play with me! But then the other boys called me gay, and then Ronaldo said "Sorry, you look pretty gay to me. And he went off to play with them!"

"Oh. I'm sorry. That was not nice at all."

"Mom! I don't know what to do! How am I supposed to play with the other boys!?"

"Well, did you tell them you weren't gay?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, so maybe tell them your mom loves you very much, and wants you to have that haircut."

"But mom! That never works! They don't care about that! They just want me to be normal!"

"Oh, I see. Then you don't love your mom?"

"No, I love my mom and my hair."

"Good. So just say " No, I love my hair and my mom told me I can't change it."

"Okay. I will."

The next day he went to school, he didn't have anything planned, but hec certainly wasn't going to tell them he loved his hair or his mom.

That day, the lesson was on differences.

The teacher spoke "Okay class, we're going to play you a short video on the differences of people."

So she put the video in.

It was a short movie where a Buneary and a Wortortle were racing. Everyone was rooting for the Buneary to win. So they raced. At first, the Buneary was winning, but when it saw how slow the Wortortle was going, she wanted to make fun of him! The turtle pretended he was afraid of the Buneary. She made fun of him so much, she got tired, and then she tripped on a tree root. He was excited, so he took his chance and went for the finish line! She tried to catch up, but her foot was stuck in the root! Then, the turtle went back to the Buneary, and said 'If you want to get out, do you want to finish the race together? " She said yes, so he got her out, and then she climbed on his back. They then tied!

They then sang a stupid song about how differences were good.

This gave Harley an idea! What if he pretended to be a scaredy-meowth? He could then befriend Ronaldo, and he'd have him all to himself!"

So later Harley went up to Ronaldo.

"Hey, I'm super scared of other boys. Could you play with me?"

"Oh, well, I guess."

Yes! It worked like a charm! Harley got the boy!

They then could play as much as they wanted to.
