May 12th
     I sit back, placing my hands over my ears. I hated reality, the words thrown out at me.
     Worthless, Gross, Ugly, Waste of Space.
     But I fight. For my friend, who tells me such kind things. The man in the moon will always be here for me.

     As I rested in my bed tonight, I saw a shadow in the sky. He landed in my window, and he had the sweetest smile.
     "Peter Pan, that's what they call me." He told me. "I promise you you'll never be lonely." He had declared. I now have another friend. I felt happy, for the first time in a while.

Returning to school was hard. More words were flung at me. But I held tight, I'd be twelve soon. Peter Pan said to me that we'd have a birthday party where he lived. In a place called Neverland. It seemed so exciting. Tonight he was going to let me meet his friends.
May 14th
I went to Neverland, it was so beautiful there! I met Tinker Bell, and Wendy Darling.. They were so kind. We soared above the town that never enjoyed my presence, after being sprinkled with Pixy Dust. We had so much fun running from Captain Hook! I wish Neverland was my home..
May 16th
Five days until I'm twelve! I'm so excited to celebrate with Peter Pan and Wendy Darling! Mum and Dad are barely home though.. and when they are they argue and all.. I think I may be starting to like someone. I told Peter Pan and Wendy darling, and they only smiled, saying that it'd all be ok.
May 17th
     The people in school keep mocking me.. I spend a lot of time in the Library when I can, but also attending classes to not get in trouble. I don't like being at school or at home. I like being in Neverland. I can't wait to celebrate my birthday. Peter Pan and Wendy Darling are like family now. Their better than my own family anyway. Because real families don't hate each other do they? I'm going to tell Mum and Dad about my crush. They were fine last time I had a crush, so why should now be any different?
May 18th
     I found out my crush isn't right. I told Mum and Dad about it and they beat me with cruel words and fists. They said I used to be good. But now I'm wrong. I can't help but cry. What did I do wrong? Is caring for someone of the same gender wrong? I guess Peter Pan can't always save me..
May 19th
School has gotten worse. Apparently if you like both genders it's called 'bi'. But the words have grown harsh. We had to act out a scene we made up silently, and I did mine flying with Peter Pan. They only laughed. They said cruel words.. I still remember them. Disgrace, Useless, A Nobody. I wish Peter Pan was here. He hasn't been here tonight since the clouds decided to hide The man in the moon.. I hope I'll see him tomorrow. Two days until my birthday.
May 20th
Peter Pan, Tinkerbell, and Wendy Darling gave me a surprise early birthday! They're my new family I guess. Better than the one I have. Neverland is always perfect and so happy, it makes me happy I'm there. It makes me forget what happens in reality. I'm so happy to have met them, they're such wonderful people. I'm glad I know them.
May 21st
It happened.. I was beat in school and at home. Even though I'm twelve now, I guess I really just wanna go home.. to my new home. I sighed, staring out into the starry sky above. A small voice whispered in my head "Happy birthday Ethen." And I jumped after hearing Wendy's voice. Flying home to Neverland, forever a lost one at last.
