You're Like A French Fry (a transgender love story)

School Day (ass principal addition)

I awaken, James laying next to me.

"James?" I shake him.

"What-?" He sounds sleepy.

"We need to get ready for school!"

"Oh, yeah I forgot about that," he grunts as he sits up.

---school---

James and I held hands, as we had 15 minutes until school started.

As we walked down the halls, I pointed out the art on the walls.

He kissed me on the lips shortly before we departed to our lockers.

"Hey! You two, cut it out!" A teacher yelled at us as we walked away from each other.

"Uhm, what?" I asked.

"Stop kissing!"

"Uhm, we did, it was a quick kiss before we departed," James spoke with sass.

"Do I look like a care?" The teacher asked.

"Yeah! You literally stopped us, so you must care!" I yelled.

"Ugh, just don't do it again!" The teacher was disgusted.

I looked at James. He looked at me. We knew exactly what we were about to do.

We ran up to each other, hugged, and started making out.

"Stop it right now! Before it leads to sex!" 

"Uh, what? We're at school, we would never fuck eachother in the hallway, let alone the bathroom!" I was so fucking pissed off at this lady.

"GO TO THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE!"

"Ok, but we're gonna hold hands, and kiss each other's cheeks on the way there!" James yelled as he grabbed my hand, and we walked to the principal office. 

We walk into the front office.

"Hey, sent here by a teacher," James said.

"Mr. Dice! Two kids are here!" The check in person yelled.

"Ugh, lemme in!"

We walk into the principal's office, and sit down.

"Why're you two in for?" Mr. Dice looked up.

"I don't know, all James and I did was kiss then depart to our lockers. A teacher stopped us, and started yelling at us. We were confused," I spoke.

"Yeah, then Lee and I-"

"Lee? That's ****!"

My face went from a confused look, to a pissed off look.

"How many fucking times do I have to tell you? I'm Lee. I don't know a ****. I think she's dead!" Tears started rolling down my face. 

I couldn't stop them, they just came down.

James wrapped his arms around me, bringing me in for a hug. I cried in his shoulder.

"Stop lying!" Mr Dice yelled.

"How am I lying? I know who I am, I am mine!"

"Pfft, you two have dentition."

"The fuck is this bullshit?" I let go of James. "Your school literally has a Rainbow Club! Where all the LGBTQ+ folk go if they wanna!"

"Your mom hasn't told me that you're Lee, you're still ****!"

My deadname stung me. 

"My moms' are murderers! I've nearly died because of them!"

"Do I look like I care? Bring them in so I can talk to them!"

"THEY'RE DEAD! AND WHY THE FUCK DO YOU NEED A FUCKING PARENT TO DETERMINE WHO SOMEONE WANTS TO BE, OR EVEN IS?" I screamed in his face.

"Sorry for your loss," Mr Dice spoke.

"I fucking hate them! They tried to kill me, I don't give a shit about them!" I walked behind the principal's desk.

"Exactly. I want you dead. You're just a deadbeat loser, that has no fucking life!" 

I grabbed his collar, and pulled him closer.

"The fuck kind of principal are you?" I let go.

"Oh fuck off and die," he scoffs.

I look up at James. In the corner of my eye I see a man.

"Hey, I'm Mr. Dice's boss, and I think it's about time I fired him," the man walked in.

"Wait, what? No! Don't fire me!" Mr. Dice denied.

"Get. Out." The man's voice was stern.

Mr. Dice quivered as he left the room.

"Okay, sorry about that, so what were you two, Lee and James, talking about?"

I stared. So much shit has happened to me, and yet I'm still here. I don't get it. I've nearly been killed, same with James. I look down.

The only real people that aren't asses that I've met, are James, Kill, this man, and James' mom..

I don't understand. I felt like the world was abusing me. I felt loss. 

Before I could stop my words, I started talking about shit I wouldn't ever dare to say. 

This turned into a therapy session.
