Tricker

I walked into school. Summer break had finally ended. This felt weird, seeing everyone again at school as if nothing happened. But I had somewhat missed it. I'm a total chick magnet, even tho I don't like sports. Apparently, I look "handsome" and "attractive" but I don't think so. And I hate when people say that to me. I'm not sure why though.

Anyway, as I was walking through the halls, I saw someone. They were standing by their locker. No. That can't be it. It was Aspen. I don't know why I felt like this but, I couldn't help but look at him. Then I thought, do I like him? No! I can't! I'm straight! Even though his eyes are so pretty and are like diamonds. And his round glasses make him look... oh shut up Elias! You like girls! But, there's one thing though. Lately, they've seemed to be a little more uncomfortable when people call him "him". But everyone feels like that, right? I mean, everyone wants to be a girl sometimes and go by different pronouns, right? I don't know. Hopefully, it's normal. It has to be. 

My friend says that Aspen is "transgender". I'm not sure though. I don't want to make assumptions. Aspen smiled at me softly. My heart melted. Why am I like this? Am I gay? No! I can't be! As I said, I like girls. But, what if my friend was right, what if Aspen is a girl? 

"Hi, Elias!" Aspen shouted toward me

"Hey!" I said nervously

Aspen then waved and left to go to class. I looked at my watch. Oh shit! There was only one minute until the bell rang. I quickly grabbed my things out of my locker and ran to class. If I didn't get to class in time I'm probably gonna get into huge trouble with my mom. She doesn't like it when I'm late for anything.
