The day after me and Taylor went out for lunch we never came back to school. Instead we went back to his place and hung out him his room.
Taylor kept explaining to me how the school worked and who I should and shouldn't talk to. And he told me to stay away from the popular kids because they are total jerks and stuck up to the highest level because of how much money they have. I looked at him confused. Wasn't he a rich kid too?

"Taylor why aren't you one of those popular kids if you have all this money and you have everything you want?" I said.

"Because Lathan! I'm not a jerk! I'm not one of those kids that just care about money!! I want friends that actually care about me and not my money! I'm sick and tired of people only becoming friends with me because of the money and that's it." Says Taylor. With anger striking in his eyes.

"Okay okay calm down Taylor, it was only a question." I said

"No it's never just a question! People want nothing but money from me! That's all everyone cares about now! I want friends that just want to hang out at the park or just want to walk at the mall. You get me?" Says Taylor.

"Yes I get your Taylor and I swear to you that's all I want. I come from no money at all and I can care less if you have money." I say

"This.. This is why I can't handle any of the heart break anymore.." Taylor says as he pulls up his sleeves and his shirt up to reveal all the scars... I can't do anything but pull my sleeves up an reveal the years of scars on my arms.. The only thing I'm thinking is I can't lift my shirt up because then he will see my binder... What would he say about it? Would he question me? Would he hate me if I told him the truth about me being a female to male transgender? My mind is clouded with so many questions right now but I can't bare to think about my problems when Taylor is hurting like he is now..
I walk over to Taylor and pull his sleeves half way down until I see that there are fresh cuts.. Like they have only been there for a day or two, I look up at him and he looks away. I take it he isn't ready to tell me about it so I pull his sleeves down all the way and hug him.

I feel bad but at the same time I know what he's going through and it feels good to actually have someone that knows and gets hurt the same way you do..
