Isabella and Werren just stare at me with blank faces.

"S-seriously?" Werren says. 

I nod. "Yup. Female to male."

I begin to shake from panic. Fuck I should not have told them. I close my eyes for a few seconds and take more sips from my energy drink. I feel someone hug me and open my eyes to see that it's Isabella. 

"August, we still love you. Of course we love you. No matter what you are, we will always love you." She says.

"Ditto," Werren says, which makes me laugh. 

I smile. "Thanks guys. But, can you not call me August? Call me Alexander, please."

They nod. "Sure thing, Alexander," Isabella says.  I smile wider. They help me stand up. 

"We should go to the lunchroom. Everyone's worried about you." Werren says, looking at the clock. We have 5 minutes left. 

We all walk to the lunchroom and I immediately see Ferb, Phineas, and the rest of the gang. I nervously walk behind Bella and Werren to the table.

"August!" Ferb exclaims. I gulp and hide behind Bella.

Bella covers for me. "Actually, he has an announcement to make." I smile slightly. 

"He?" Phineas says. Bella glares at him. She and Werren move aside so everyone can see me.

"I... I mean... I am ... I'm transgender. Female to male." I say, my voice growing slightly louder. Everyone just stares at me, except Bella and Werren. 

"Y-you mean I've had a crush on a guy this whole time?!" Phineas exclaims with disgust. I nod scaredly.

Ferb glares at Phineas. "Phineas Louis Flynn! How dare you insult... Are you changing your name?" He looks at me.

"Alexander," I respond.

"How dare  you insult Alexander like that?! You're his friend! You should accept him for what he is! Calm the fuck down!" Ferb shouts. The lunchroom goes silent and everyone in it just stares at us. 

"I have been having a crush on some moody teenager who can't even decide what fucking gender they are! How do you propose that I calm down when I'm fucking straight?!" Phineas retorts.

"Everyone just fucking calm down! I can't believe you're fighting over this!" I bolt out of the lunchroom and all the way home. 

I hear Ferb shout after me. "Alexander!" I ignore him.
