Ok, shorties. Most of the idea of this chat is from the book Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson, one of my favorite books. Enjoy!

You had always wondered how it came to this, even if you knew.

Many years before, you were at an end of summer party. You had been 13, but make the mistake of kissing a teen older than you. The teen had done SA to you, so you called the police to break up the party.

Because of this, many were arrested because of drugs and alcohol used at the party. However, you were too scared to say what happened to you. Even your parents didn’t understand, and didn’t like you anymore. So everyone started to hate you, causing you to go nearly mute. You expressed emotions through art, which helped a lot.

That changed when a boy who went by the name Yoriichi came to the school. He was handsome, smart, skilled, quiet, anything a girl wanted. Would he be the only to understand?
