PersonalityGenerally speaking, Ayize is a very smiley sort of guy. He was usually pleasant and respectful of others and his surroundings, toward elders. Being raised in a tribe, he had a strong sense of what he felt family should be: a togetherness of persons, an understanding among a group of people. However, even he could have bad days. Sometimes, he didn’t smile. Which was okay by him. You didn’t have to be grinning from ear-to-ear all hours of the day to be a happy person. There were days when he felt “blah,” and didn’t want to share what he was feeling. Other days, he was very open with those around him. It all depended on the sun and stars, the weather. Ayize is a very normal and average teenager, aside from his strong Zulu background which he holds dear.

Along with family and friends, he takes his school work seriously. Knowing he comes from a country with less than most others, he strives to do his best. Though his IQ is only the norm, right around where everyone else is, he has higher marks in history. He also enjoys history, which was surprising to even himself. World history fascinates Ayize and he could read up on the past for hours at a time. There was just something neat about knowing what had been and relating it to what was right now. And, not only that, but he hoped to somehow use his own knowledge of the past to make the future better. He didn’t know how yet, but someday he would.

Ayize really has no hobbies aside from reading history books or working with his father. There was never much time for it, and there was little to do otherwise. Playing with his friends was a thing he learned to keep limited due to his attraction to males. While he came to grips with his sexuality quickly, those around him hadn’t. That wounded him, for he could be a prideful boy. However, he chooses to remain optimistic even in times of darkness. Where doubt may sometimes sit in his heart, it’s gone within the span of a week. No sense sitting around and moping over something already done.

HistoryThe Beginning. . .

It was not appropriate to have feelings for members of the same gender. You had a woman and a man, nothing else. Ayize, in turn, did not want to disappoint his father. He was a learned young lad who loved to read and study world history. For a while he pretended to not have emotions, a blank slate, but he was so happy and cheerful most of the time it was difficult. He began to avoid his friends. They were the problem, and he thought with hope that his own homosexuality would just go away if he ignored it. Well, a year later he still felt different and it didn’t seem like it was going to change. But he recently had read something issued by the Government online that had to do with curing such mental “issues.”

Quickly Ayize told his father, explaining that he wanted to be better for him and for Nkulunkulu, their greatest god. At first Shinlaka was wary about sending his son away so far---Africa did not have a Pride Academy---but agreed. He saw his son’s effort to change valiant, noble, caring. Surely someone who wanted to better themselves could do so if given the chance. It took roughly a year for all of the information to be sorted out, papers to be signed, sent, and filed, but the day finally came. Ayize turned to his father with his small rucksack on his shoulder, told him he loved him, and left. To this day he keeps in contact with the priest, writing an E-Mail about every week or so. He also keeps his family secret, though no one has asked. The boy only has one fear of this whole process, now that he has reached America, and that is failing.

He arrived to a large airport in New York first, waiting around for about two hours before getting onto a transfer flight to Missouri. It was there Ayize made his first friend, a girl who lived in a boarding house not far from the hotel where he would stay until all of his papers were completed. She was sweet, though there was a kick to her attitude Ayize liked. They spent a lot of time talking, and the boy was glad to have found someone to speak with until moving again. He told her his “gay problems” and she only laughed, though for a moment had looked horrified. Had he said something wrong? She explained that being gay was not exactly the best of ways to make friends around these parts in the South, that he should keep it hush-hush. But she gave him some good advice nonetheless.

“Don’t let the government or your father tell you how to behave or who you can like. Do what you want to do, Zeke, that’s how you’ll get far. You’ll only get pushed over if you do what you’re told.” Promptly after, the young woman displayed her own branch of rebellion. Her mother hated this internet frenzy called “MySpace” and “FaceBook,” leaving her daughter with no choice but to make one. Ayize didn’t understand, as he hadn’t had much internet back home but a mere fifteen to thirty minutes now and then. He didn’t use the computers a lot anyway, they weren’t exciting. The girl attributed this to the fact that he didn’t know just what you could do, so she showed him. He was amazed. There were movies and books online, people all around the world to talk to! Awesome. But that wasn’t all he learned in a week or so. He learned from himself words that came from his heart when he was honest. Ayize no longer wanted to change. Not in the same sense he had months ago when he told his father about the Pride schools.

No longer was he going to this school to change, though if it happened while he was there he would not defy it. He just wouldn’t help. Ayize refused to help the men and women who thought it wrong to like the company of others who happened to be part of the same sex. And then, suddenly, after the light bulb had turned on in his mind, he was whisked away to Goldfinch Academy in the midst of the summer. At least, he thought upon his first day of arrival, he would have time to figure out where things were before classes started.
