"Micah hurry up, we are gonna be late. When are you going to grow up and stop behaving like a child". Micah's mom yelled from somewhere down the stairs, she was beginning to get frustrated with Micah's behaviour.
"I'm almost done for God's sake", he yelled back while doing his shoe laces.
Hurrying down the stairs, he almost tripped over. "Fuck mehn".
"No swear words in my house, young man". His mom said, grabbing her purse off the kitchen table.
Micah is to go along with his mom to a council meeting about Kids in the neighbourhood. Of course, Micah would never want to be in lame ass adult event like that but his mom couldn't get a babysitter and insisted on never leaving him alone at home despite being thirteen years old.
He hated how his mom treated him like a child. Running towards the car because it was actually raining a bit. His mom was already in the driver sit. Firing up the engine, we were already on our way.
"Micah, during today's event please be calm and do not embarrass me. Control yourself. Did you use your ADHD pills today?"
"Mom, I don't embarrass you and damn it. I forgot to use the pills"
"Micah, those drugs cost a fortune. How could you?"
"Well, if someone wasn't rushing to some meeting. I would have probably remembered. Mom, for goodness sake. I'm thirteen, I can stay home alone ".
"I'd rather die, than leave you in the house alone", she replied.
"Come on Mom, wtf ???", he yelled back. Feeling hurt from what his mom just said to him.
He didn't utter a word all the way , with his face towards the glass window, arm crossed over his chest.
They finally arrived at the state council hall. Moms, Dads with their kids were hurrying inside. It was beginning to rain heavily now.
Micah and his mom made it to a couple of seats which were not too far to the podium. They both sat down waiting for the speaker to come on stage.
Few minutes later, an old looking man comes to the podium.
Taps on mic, clears throat. .
"I very much welcome y'all. Today, we talk about the kids in the neighbourhood. A lot has been going on and it's the world that is corrupting these young minds. The woke mind virus makes these kids blame their lack of discipline on mental health issues that don't even exist and the increase in violence between black kids. Parents keep your kids safe...."
Micah couldn't take the bigotry that was coming from every word of this man.
He snapped or let's just say the ADHD. He stood up and hurriedly stood on his chair.
"How about you shut up old man. You are a bigot and racist. Talking about violence from black kids is stereotypical and racist. I have ADHD and my mental disorder is valid. I'm black, queer, an ADHDer and I won't let you talk about me or every other black or neurodivergent kids out there", Micah yelled.
"I'm so sorry. For Christ sake, would you get down Micah.", Micah's mom said panicking.
Someone already brought out their phone videoing live. People whisper and eyes are all on Micah.
"Old man, take this", Micah puts both middle finger up towards the speaker who was speechless at the moment.
Micah jumped down from the chair and immediately walked out of the hall with his mom grabbing her purse following him almost immediately.
"Micah, you are not gonna ruin my life".
That was it, the video went viral. Everyone watched it . ..

Now, Micah Lennox is 24 years old. One of the most popular right activists in the US.
The senatorial election is fast approaching, Micah has been so busy with so many political debates, activities to catch up to.
Laying in his bed, bowl of popcorn in hand.
"Oh damn, what a day. I'm so fucking tired".
Logging into Twitter, a post was trending with over 500k likes.
"Micah Lennox should run for senator. That dude actually doesn't give a damn".
Holy fuck, what !!!. Micah can't stand politics, he just happens to like debating and standing up for people right.
"I'm too messy for politics guys!!!", he quoted the post.
Shutting his phone to sleep but his mind was too messy. So many thoughts at the same time.
Opened his drawer to grab his pill, threw it into his mouth immediately.
Don't know what came over him, probably his ADHD.
The next morning, he sent his papers to the Liberal Congress party. He would be running for senatorial district post. The Party didn't hesitate to present him as their candidate.
The news broke the Internet. Many Neurodivergent kids, the LGBT community, and liberals threw in their support.

"Fuck, this kid".
He knew Micah wasn't going to be an easy one.
