hiii! This is my new fic that involves Jack being a trans boy. Sometimes I'll say shit that might not sound right considering I'm not trans myself and I'm basing some of this off of what one of my friends went through, so like if I screw something up, feel free to correct me. Anyways lets get on with this, shall we? Oh, it's in Jack's pov unless I state otherwise.

by the way, Jack's birth name is Janette. I guess. I didn't want to use Jackie or something like that because its the obvious default gender-bent name for Jack, so yeah. It doesn't matter bc this is the only chapter it'll be mentioned in so whatever. enjoy the book.

The first time I actually thought about if I was really a girl or not was in my freshman year of high school. Of course I had thoughts about my gender beforehand, but that particular day was the day I actually found out that I was a boy after all.

five years ago (9th grade)

"Janette! Hurry up! We're gonna be late to Gym!" My friend, Zack, waited for me to get my gym stuff. I rolled my eyes at him using my full name. I know it's not his fault, but I hated my name. I always felt more content with being called Jack for short, which is something only my parents and Zack did, when he remembered to.

"That's not my name," I replied. I got my stuff and closed my locker.

"Okay, Jack. Gees." Zack said while chuckling, "Let's go play video games while watching porn and doing other things boys do." He sarcastically said. I rolled my eyes jokingly while internally getting offended by what he said. I actually wouldn't mind doing those things...I already do both on a regular basis.

"Shutup," I snapped, but smiled after so he wouldn't get offended. We walked to the gym before we were late. I always hated this class. The girls would always give me shit for wearing basketball shorts and a white tee, and not pink gym shorts and a tank top like most girls are supposed to do. It annoyed me so much.

I tried to weave my way into the girls locker rooms so no one would notice me. I really wasn't in the mood to take shit from anyone today. My locker was located in the corner so no one would bother me. Sadly for me, the two idiots had to walk up to me while I was putting my shorts on.

"Bro, the boys locker room is next door." One of them, Tay, said while mimicking a boys voice. Everyone else started laughing with her. I rolled my eyes and pulled up my shorts. They did this every day, thinking that I'll magically disappear. I actually wish I could go in the boys locker room. They probably won't give me shit for being in there. I actually clicked with more guys than girls at this school, and moments like this remind me why. Girls can be so bitchy.

"Yeah, I know that. I'm pretty sure we all knew that except you, Tay." I said while looking for my top. The whole locker room erupted in 'oohs' while chattering again. Tay scoffed while staring me down.

"Whatever, boy. You don't belong in here." She said while pushing me. It wasn't forceful to knock me over, but it had an impact. It wasn't often that I actually spoke up, but I wasn't taking her bullshit today.

"Oh, is someone sad over the fact that I'm closer to all of your boy crushes then you are? Maybe being a 'boy' has its perks." I pushed her back. I was only half serious about what I said. I've always pondered over what it would be like to actually be a boy, and it became something I've secretly wanted for a while now.

"Are you serious? No one talks to me like that." She said while deadly glaring at me. Oops, I guess I pissed her off...totally didn't do that on purpose.

"Yeah, no one talks to Tay like that," the other girl, Jenna, said beside her.

"Well guess what? I just did. Now if you mind, I have to put the rest of my clothes on." I said while putting my white tee on. Tay chuckled while rolling her eyes.
