Something written by them:
Hi! So, my name is Reann, I'm 15 and half British, half Australian. Music is my life, along with writing and anything creative, such as art, drama and singing. I have quite a lot of followers on my anonymous social media accounts, especially my writing accounts, with 20k.

Since I was 10, I knew I was bi. You're probably thinking, 'That's impossible! How can you know your sexuality when you don't have sexual feelings?' Well, I did have feelings: for this girl called Abby. When I told her, she freaked the fuck out. I couldn't figure out why; this was normal to me. I didn't think there was anything wrong with me liking a girl.

I went home that day and told my mum. 'You're...you're gay?' My mother asked in shock. I laughed, because I thought that was just when a boy would only like other boys. 'No mummy, I'm a girl, I can't be gay! I like boys and girls!' We had a long talk that night. 'Listen honey, I love you no matter what, and I promise I will help you in anyway when you need it. Whatever you do, DON'T tell your father!' My mum's demand confused me, but I didn't tell him then and never will.

Pronouns: she/her
Top 3 favourite things: food, being comfortable/wearing makeup for herself and being away from her house
Top 3 most hated things: disrespect, school and her family

Something written by them:
Hi! I'm Celecity, but close friends call me City. I'm 15 and British. When I was 11, I met Chris and Reann, and I would probably be dead by now if they weren't there for me- either my parents would've killed me or I would've commited suicide. When I was 13, I came out to my mum and dad as gay. They didn't approve and tried to kick me out. They convinced my siblings I was wrong for liking girls. They tormented me for it so much, the eldest out of the four of us (he was 17 at the time) took his own life, because he was trans ftm. They didn't shed one tear. I hate them with every fibre of my being.

Hiiiiii! Wow, new book, Yay! This chapter was just to introduce you to the main 4 characters. I'm gonna try to upload once a week, but I started secondary school (sixth grade) 3 weeks ago and I have a buttload of homework every week. But anyway, enjoy the rest of your life!
