Chapter 1: The door to the outside
One day, I finally come outside and run into the forest.
I come to a stop, finding a door. I open the door, and it was here all along…. The exit… WAS HERE THE WHOLE FUCKING TIME JUST DOWN THE RIGHT!!!! IF I KNEW THIS, I WOULD'VE LEFT DAYS AGO!!!
My sore legs run to my old home… hours that felt like days, but I never stop running..

Chapter 2: The Start of normally
The door opens… my dad starts crying…
Mr. Hoshizuki: R-Ren? Is my boy alive? Come in, I guess… where have u been?!
Dad, I don't know, but I've been in a forest with no escape for days..
With my dad being so calm idk if he actually missed me..
Mr.Hoshizuki: ok just sleep. You got championships
As I go upstairs, feeling uneasy

Chapter 3: The ghost of Ren Hoshizuki's schoolyard
As I return to school, and I walk into the building full of people talking and people spreading rumors already like a virus.. Classrooms that days ago used to be in, like one of the popular kids… The school I used to be popular and feared, and now all I am is a joke… A rumor… A ghost.. I started back up on the badminton team as co-captain… Good to be back where I belong on the court.. Days have already gone by, and they treated me like I'm a ghost or something.. Did they even care?! Did they even…. They planned this… didn't they… As I thought they were my best friends, they planned to ditch me in that forest. They wanted to cross me out of the program and claim my scholarship that I worked hard for, that party wasnt a party, it was a setup to kill me.

Chapter 3½: Finding a new path pt1
Headmaster: Attention, students: the LGBT+ club is back and better than ever. Pls come after school today and every Tuesday.
Great taco Tuesday, the worst day at lunch..
Maybe I should go to that club….
During the day, I walk through the hallways.. Just staying to myself.
My schedule is all over the place, and I'm starting to hate this school. But today I met a girl, so I thought..

Chapter 4: Finding a new self
The food chem teacher pairs us together for a project I just sit and listen as we are forcibly paired together..
Then it was my turn.. I got paired with this girl. She was tall like a man, and she was wearing an outfit that looked like she was going to a party in the next hour. Then she started talking…
Hi u must be Ren! I'm Kane, people call me Yuo.
So you are my partner…
Yes, I am, and u must be confused, but for now, is it my place or yours to do this project..
I guess your place, like I care..
Dang dude u okay?...
….
It's fine i guess we can talk at my place…
Okay, I guess we can
But before we go to my place, if u want to join me in the LGBT+ club, then totally do! I even take u there after school.
Sure, why not? I give it a shot. As I smiled felling the only sense of peace since I got back in this school… will this peace stay as long as I or just end when I finally settle down into it.

Chapter 5: The LGBT way
I can believe this random girl is dragging me to this club.. Then I remembered the room… room 378.. This is Mrs.Rums room.. As Mrs.Rums turns in her comfortable chair..
Mrs.Rums: Hi Ren, becoming a new member, uh?
Um, maybe idk a lot about this type of stuff..
Mrs.Rums: Well dont stress about it. Take your time.
After a while i was having fun and learning things about this community..
As everyone says their names and pronouns
It turned Yuo's turn..
Yuo: Hi, I'm Kane, but people call me Yuo. My pronouns are she/her, but I was born male.. I'm a drag queen..
YUO WAS A BOY! This whole time I thought..

Chapter 6: Study thoughts
After the club, we went to his house..
So, you are a drag queen, wow.. How is that like?
As my mind fulled of questions..
As I question, he just answers them. I wonder…
Yuo maybe im non-bi… idk yet I give it time…
Yuo: its fine, man, take your time. People don't understand at first, then they just click.
Okay…
Yuo: You're also holding something else arent u.
Yes
Yuo: spill it
I know I'm Demisexual…
Yuo: dang man i guess that one thing u know, anyways, lets finsh this.
Hours later, we finished that project she drove me home.
I was even surprised that she had her driver's license to drive this nice ass sports car.
At home, there is just silence as I walk to my room.. I really worry that my dad even missed me, or that he was living life….
