When you woke, there was an arm draped around your waist and breathing on the nape of your neck. You were still groggy, not knowing what time it was and absent-mindedly snuggling closer to them. Their arms tightened and pulled you even closer to them. You could tell they were still in their female form. You barely saw them in this form for some reason. Maybe they prefer their male form more than you thought. As you were about to drift back to sleep, an alarm went off. It wasn't from your phone, so you assumed it was Jordan's. When you didn't feel them move, you decided to wake them up. You turned in their arms and saw their soft features and the soft waves of their hair that was partly in their face. You wanted to kiss them, but instead, you smiled and moved your hand to place it on their arm.

"Jordan." You said, but there was no response. "Jordan." You tried again, shaking them lightly, they hummed in response. "Your alarm is going off." You said, rubbing their arm, then they did the most adorable thing. They put their face in the crook of your neck and said. "Five more minutes." The smile you had widened, and you chuckled. "Okay." You and Jordan stayed like that until the next alarm went off. They groaned and began to get up and turn off their alarm. "Morning." They were sat at the edge of the bed at this point, and they slightly turned to face you. "Morning." They turned back around and did something on their phone. "Did you sleep well." "Yeah. I slept pretty well." You sat up fully and was just mesmerized at how pretty they looked. They turned to you again, seeing your eyes trained on them, and suddenly they're body stiffened and were in their male form again. You were a little disappointed. You wanted to see them like that more. "So, do you want to get breakfast?" You proposed, and they gave you a dull. "No." They put their shoes on then stood. "Oh, okay." "I have a class to get to." You brought your legs up to your chest. "Right." "Maybe another time." "Yeah." "I have to go." Just like that, they were out the door. You started questioning if you did or said something that made them uncomfortable or upset. They seemed so distant and closed off. As your mind was going haywire, you received a text.
From Cate.

Cate: Hey, it's Cate. I was wondering if you wanted to get brunch.

You thought about it for a second, and you thought, why not.

Y/N: Would love to, just tell me a place and time and I'll be there.
Cate: Great! Meet me at 555 lane at 1pm.

You sighed and checked the time, it was 9:30. You had a class at 10 so you decided to start getting ready. You put on this medium flowy dress that had a floral print on a navy blue background and put on a lightweight sweater. You packed up your backpack and was on your way to your film class. You were five minutes early, like a few other people and SAT in your usual seat. The thing with Jordan was still bothering you, but you refused to dwell on it for too long, 'if I did something wrong, they should tell me' you thought. The class began, and it was the most painful seventy-five minutes of your life. Your teacher had this monotone voice and was just reading from a book the whole entire time. Eventually, the class ended, and you were packing up your bag when you heard your name being called. You turned your head and was met with a familiar face, Ellie.

"Oh, hey Ellie." "Hey." She smiled down at you. "Did you understand anything he was talking about?" You laughed, closed up your bag, and stood up. "Not one bit." She smiled down at you. "Good, I'm glad I'm not the only one." You both began to walk out of the classroom. "So, do you have another class you're about to go to?" "Nope, I'm just waiting and going to eat brunch with a friend. What about you?" "I have an astronomy class in a couple of minutes." "I'm thinking of taking that class next semester. I'd it any good?" "I love it, the teacher is chill and it's pretty interesting." You both were in front of the building, and she faced you. "Would it be okay if I got your Instagram." You thought she seemed like a cool person, so you said. "Yeah, of course." She smiled and handed you her phone, and you typed in your username. "Thanks. Well, I have to get to class, but I'll text you later." "Okay, by." As you went your separate ways, you went back to your dorm. By the time you got there it was about 11:45 so you got some work done, listened to some lectures, and studied. a little before you had to leave, you decided to eat a little snack and take your meds before you left. While on the way there you were thinking, if you should slowly stop taking these meds, it's your senior year, and at some point, you need to learn how to control your abilities. You weighed your options and decided to try, and if it went wrong, you'd go back on them. You finally made it to the restaurant and saw Cate sitting at a table in the back, sipping coffee.

"Hey." Cate looked up at you and immediately smiled and got up. "Hey! It's so good to see you!" You hugged and sat down. "It's so nice to see you too, Cate." You and Cate sat there for almost two hours talking about classes, goals, and just how life is going. "So I heard you and Jordan are friends." "Yeah, we've been getting to know each other."You smiled lightly. "How's that going? They're not being a dick are they?" "No they've been really nice... Well, today they seemed a little off, but I don't know." You said. "Well, what happened." "They spent the night at my dorm, and in the morning after they woke up, they seemed off and barely even looked at me." "It's probably nothing. They might need some time to themselves." "Yeah, maybe."

After meeting up with Cate, you went to Clark's office and began to work. Jordan hadn't texted you all day. It was bothering you, but you didn't want to force them to talk to you, so you continued to work. Right before you're about to, you got a text from Ellie.

Ellie: Hey, there's a part going on tonight. Would you like to go?

You thought for a second and decided Fuck it.

Y/N: I would love to

Ellie: Great, I'll pick you up at 7

Y/N: Okay see you then
