The girl who flew

Chapter 11- Pheobes PoV

This chapter is from Phoebes point of view :)
After been shown to my form room i stood at the threshold of the door, looking around at all these people deep in conversation, with my tutor doing something important in her laptop.
There was this girl at the back, picking at her blazer and sort of wincing every time.
I walked over to her.
This was my first day at a school where no-one knew i was transgender.
----------
"Hey" She jumped and looked up, and looked at me as if no one had spoken to her before. I took a deep breath.
"I'm new, can i sit here?"
"Sure" She said quietly, she seemed nice.
We had a really nice conversation, we both are interested in music and she mentioned that our music teacher was her favourite. That gave me hope because my old music teacher was not the nicest.

The bell went and she showed me the way to music. The teacher saw her and her face immediately lit up, and then they started talking out of earshot.
"And who's this?" The teacher asked me, i can see why Kath liked her, she had a warmth to her voice that not many teachers have.
"I'm pheobe, I'm new"
"That's great, are you interested in music"
"Yeah i play the violin"
"Nice, how long?"
"Since i was about 5? So nearly 10 years"
"Cool" She smiled at me then told me to sit next to Kath.
No one knowing that i was transgender made me feel safe, i liked that when i walked into the school no one yelled slurs at me. And i actually spoke to someone.
Although Kath is quiet, she's nice.
---------

After music, Miss C asked me to join the orchestra and i said yes and i already knew someone who was going to be there. I also joined a music composition Co-Curricular on wednesdays, although Kath doesn't do that as she does something else, i think it will be nice to meet other people.
Kath told me that she was going to spend break with Miss C, but we doing out that our timetables are the same, so i sat in the music room whilst she spoke to her and then she could take me to our next lesson.
15 Minutes later the Bell went, and Kath opened the door. I looked up and it wasn't Kath, it was Miss C.
"Hey Darling, Kath's going to stay with me this hour but i'll show you to your lesson"
"Oh, is she okay?"
She looked up and took a deep breath
"Yeah, she's just had a bit of a panic. That's all. I need to tell the teacher she's with me anyway. What have you got?"
"French"
"Okay, not too far"

We got to the classroom.
"Hey, This is pheobe and she's new" Miss C said to the teacher. She pointed at an empty chair.
"Sit there, you'll be next to Kath next time"
I went and sat down, took a deep breath.
Miss C said goodbye to me and went back down to Kath.

At the end of the lesson my teacher asked me what i had next, and it was English. She asked anyone else if that had it next and a couple of people i had seen in music put their hand up, so i followed them to the lesson.
Once we had got there I saw Kath right at the front, like where she sat in music. She must like english as well. I smiled and sat next to her.

"Hey sorry about that" Kath whispered to me
"Don't worry. I am always here for you"
She looked at me and smiled.

I think that Kath struggles with something but i am not too sure what, i don't want to ask as i know what it's like. But i hope one day she will tell me.
