You know that dream everyone has?
You know? The one 
where you're trying to run but you can't.
Or when you're trying to scream but
nothing comes out?
Well that's what it's like.
I used to try to scream, speak up,
to make a noise
all there was, was silence.
Now, I don't even try.
Neither does anyone else.
We just stay silent.
Oi, Gay boy! Get over here and give us a kiss.
Not at the shop with your mummy?
Right boys, come on, it's class.
Coming, Miss.
Did you see Miss Smith's hair though?
Oh my god it's so gay.
*They chatter*
*School bell rings*
So how was your day?
Fine.
You sure?
Here's the thing: you control the dream.
You can do anything you want.
I mean, you could fly
You could be in Scotland one minute and Japan the next
You could be married to Zac Efron, 
if he's you're type, that is...
But I'm pretty sure he's everyone's type.
The point is, you're in control. 
You can affect what happens.
Sometimes I have that horrible dream where I can't run.
I try and try but I'm not getting anywhere fast.
Then, what's the use in running anyway? 
This is my reality.
*The school bell rings*
Oi, gay boy! Get over here and give us a kiss.
Not at the shop with your mummy?
Erm, both of you! Headmaster's office, now!
But, Miss?!
No. No "aw but Miss". I'll not tolerate that kind of behavior
and I certainly will not have it in my class, now just... go!
We won't tolerate that here, Jamie.
We are here for you.
How have you been coping?
*the school bell rings*
Did you see Miss Smith's hair though?
Oh my god it's so gay.
What are you talking about? 
Don't you know that offends people?
What're you on about?
You're saying it like it's a bad thing, to describe something you don't like.
Which I'm pretty sure makes you a homophobe.
Nah. I didn't mean it like that. Don't be stupid.
I'd rather be stupid than be a homophobe, any day.
Try thinking before you speak next time.
Fine. I'm sorry, you're totally cool.
I didn't mean to offend you.
Who's doing this?
Just leave it, Dad. It doesn't matter.
It does matter, son.
Is it people from school?
Look, I appreciate it, 
but I can deal with this myself, okay?
Son, you don't have to deal with it yourself. 
Just let me help you.
Is that your guidance teacher?
Let's go speak to him together then, yeah?
I promise I'll not embarrass you.
