Emotionless
I am now
In a world where I
Have to hide my heart
And what I believe in
But somehow
I will show the world
What's inside my heart
And be loved for who I am
- Reflection, Mulan
Weirdo. Freak. Cry-baby. I’m too raw from the funeral to react to the taunts. I sit on the bed, staring at a photograph of happier times.
Someone yanks it from my hand. “Give it back NOW!” The bully laughs. I grab one end. He still has the other, and… it tears in half.
I tackle him, fists flying. “Raoul?” Paul’s shocked voice says. A sterner voice calls. “RAOUL!”
Alex pries me off. “You can’t keep getting so emotional! What example does that set for Paul?”
I have nobody to turn to. Fine. That’s the last time anyone sees me vulnerable!
