Tik, Tok, Tik, Tok, Tik, Tok, Tik, Tok, Tik, Tok... The clock just keeps going... Those words from earlier today echo in my head... "You can't wear pink! You are a boy! Stop being so GAY!!!!! HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaa!!!!" 

"Do I really care what people think?" I look down at my handmade wolf plush, my dad knitted me. I knock it off the dresser, stare at myself in the mirror taking everything in, the sounds of the road outside, my mother cooking dinner, the clock tik tok ticking, my heavy breathing. The tears escaping my grasp, my now blurry vision makes out my pink eyes, my blonde hair tied into a brief pony tail, showing my shaved undercut. My Pink T-shirt with a cartoony rainbow, my grey jacket, the pockets holding my school equipment. Every feature reminding me of today. I sit on my bed and wrap my arms round my knees. "Yes. Yes I do care..." the tears flooding down my face, cheeks flushed. I don't want to express how I feel anymore... I want to just carry my poor, aching body to a corner and hide away in the shadows again, away from the bullying, the struggle of answering questions--

"Dinner's ready!" Mother calls up to me in a cheery, sing-song voice. Quite the opposite of me...
