A/N: Ok, again, it took me way too long to update, so to my readers: Sorry! This chapter is based loosely off of my own experiences. Last year, my school participated in Day of Silence, a day dedicated to all those that are silenced because they are in the group labeled 'LGBT' or: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender. Last year, our Day of Silence was dedicated to a boy named Lawrence King. He was a fifteen year old student who was killed in school because he was gay, and because of his gender expression. On February 12, he asked another boy to be his Valentine. A few days later (forgive me, I don't remember the exact date) he was killed in his school by that same boy for being a 'fag.' The most irritating thing about it, is that the boy that killed him was being charged as a juvenile, stating that he couldn't be held responsible because that was what 'enviornment' he was around. My thoughts to that? B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T. Enviornment has nothing to do with being a murderer. Homophobic, sure. But it gives no one the right to kill. Day of Silence is coming up again soon, although when, I'm not exactly sure. All of us that participated last year had X's over our mouths, and we all made our own shirts, except for Amber and Brandon because they were not in GLOW-UP. So, end rant.

TL;DR: Boy killed, drabble based around Day of Silence and Lawrence King.

Prompt: Day of Silence/Lawrence King

Do not take him without permission and do not ask me for permission. Lawrence King was a real person, I am not making him nor his story up. His story is real, and this is dedicated to him. RIP.

Nothing was more empowering than standing up for not only myself, but others like me. I felt so strong, so brave, so alive.

Dillon and I walk into school, hand-in-hand, in identical outfits with black X's of tape over our mouths, and notes in our hands. We walk to our first class of the day and, without speaking, hand over our notes.

Day of Silence:

Silent for Lawrence King

Please understand my reasons for not speaking today. I am participating in the Day of Silence, a national youth movement bringing attention to the silence faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and their allies. My deliberate silence echoes that silence, which is caused by anti-LGBT bullying, name-calling and harassment. This years Day of Silence is held in memory of Lawrence King, a 15 year-old student who was killed in school because of his sexual orientation and gender expression. I believe that ending the silence is the first step toward building awareness and making a commitment to address these injustices. Think about the voices you are not hearing today.

What are you going to do to end the Silence?

A confident smile spreads across my face at not only our teachers approving nod, but the absolutely scandalized look on Trunks' face when the teacher reads the note aloud. I've never before had the oppurtunity to feel so proud of myself for who I am, and when Dillon found out about this day through online research, I knew we had to do it. This was our one day to stand up for ourselves, and no one could say anything about it. We were defending not only ourselves, but everyone who had ever been silenced simply because they were gay, or had any other gender difference.

I feel so strong....

A/N: I must let everyone know that the death of Lawrence King and the Day of Silence memorialized to him was LAST year, not this year. Also, the note that Goten gave his teacher is a copy of the note I handed out last year when I participated.

Reviews are love!
