One in the Same by Alexis L. Thompson (the snowy day read aloud .TXT) 📖

black hair. It was such a turn on. This one, I know, was also gay.
So i befriended him.We talked all the time. At school, through text. He was perfect. I didn't even have to ask him out. He asked me! When that happened I was ecstatic. I got so excited. Then I realized what I had to do. I had to tell people. My parents first. Then I would deal with the kids at school.
I told my mom and dad the afternoon Jake asked me out.that wasn't a good idea on my part. Mom cried. she wanted grandchildren from her only child. Dad? Well he disowned me. apparently he had a 'no fags allowed' policy. That made me mad. I was so mad I decided to leave.
I went to Jake's house.His mother said I could crash there for as long as i needed. so I did. After a while, Jake and I had become a big thing. The kids at school started accepting it. My mom constantly called to tell me how much she loved me. My father wouldn't talk to me still.
Why did I decide to share my story? Because I wanted you to know that you can be who you are and not feel bad about it. You can be gay, lesbian, fat, skinny, blue, pink. Love who you are. You are special. You deserve to live a good life.
