The Story Of Lena

The Talk

Nyphadora and Lena were walking to Lena's house. long the way it was very quiet. Nyphadora kept looking at Lena, but Lena gave no reaction. Lena opened her door and asked if Nyphadora wanted to come in.

Nyphadora: Are you sure?

Lena: Yeah, come in please.

Lena went straight up to her room, and Nyphadora started talking to Simone.

Simone: What's up? Why is Lena looking so sad?

Nyphadora: It's that boys fault.

Simone: Who? Samuel?

Nyphadora: Yes, He was chocking Lena in the hallway. I saw what happend so i stepped in. Later Lena and I went to a quiet place to talk, and she explained me why Samuel was doing that. 

Nyphadora: Also he somehow hacked the school's speakers and told the whole school Lena is a transgender.

Simone: My poor little girl. Thank you for bringing her home. But i do have to ask you something.

Nyphadora: Yeah sure.

Simone: You are not like Maxwell and Andrea right?

Nyphadora: Oh i assume they were her so called best friends? 

Simone: So she told you about that too?

Nyphadora: Yeah she did, And no absolutely not. I have a cousin who is transgender himself.

Simone: I'm sorry that i asked, but i don't want negative people around her.

Nyphadora: I totally get that. My cousin Liam and his parents moved to a different country because no one seemed to accept Liam for who he was. 

Simone: What do you mean with that?

Nyphadora: Well first of all a being a Half African in a white community makes you feel very left out, constant judgement about being different. Then secondly also coming out as transgender and then coming out as gay. is even more shocking.

Nyphadora: That's also one of the main reasons my parents moved to here. Because of the constant judgement of being his family. And they wanted a better future for me and my sister, Incase one of us would be a part of the LGBT, or if one of our future kids would be.

Simone: That's very thoughtfull of your parents! And it's terrible to hear that his parents and your parents had to move because of that. 

Simone: How did he cope with all that negativity?

Nyphadora: Liam had alot of theraphy, and is still seeing a psychologist every week.

Simone: Do you think that would help Lena?

Nyphadora: That is not up to me to decide. You will have to talk to Lena about that.

Simone: Yeah, sorry.

Nyphadora: It's alright. Could i help you with something? 

Simone: Yes actually, could you bring this cup of tea to Lena? I need to make a call to the school about this situation.

Nyphadora: Yeah sure, could you call my parents afterwards also? 

Simone: Why sweety?

Nyphadora: Because they will be mad at me to hear i skipped class.

Simone: Sweety its okay. I'll explain it to them. they will be proud of you because you stood up for Lena.

Nyphadora: Thank you so much Mrs. Johnston.

Nyphadora went up to Lena's room to bring her the tea. She heard Lena crying. So she knocked on the door to ask if she could come in. Lena didn't respond. She mustn't have heard the knocking. So Nyphadora just walked in Lena's room.

Nyphadora: Your mother asked me to bring you some tea. Are you okay?

Lena: *Crying voice* Actually no.. I just don't know it anymore.
