Ok, it's the first day at my school, and I am really nervous, anyway, the bell is about to go, so I better get inside.
Ok, first...... assembly, oh my, there are a lot of people here, I'm just going to sit down before everyone has come in.
-------------inside the assembly hall---------
"Um....... Excuse me, I'm sorry, but when will the headmaster get here?" Ohhhhhh, I'm hoping I don't look like an idiot.
"Oh, uh..... he's right there, and I'm Luna, by the way"
"Thank you Luna, I'm Gareth"
"No problem, and hi Gareth"
Ok, this is new, but you'll be fine.
"Good morning Greendale, today, in case you haven't noticed, we have a new student, Jacquie, do you want to come to the front?"
Oh, god, everyone is looking at me, what do I do?
"Um......hi, my name is....... Jacquie"
*Bell rings*
"Ok, everyone get to your lessons"
Ok, let's see..........ah, science.
Oh, there's Luna.
"Hey Luna! Wait up!....."
"Oh, hi Jacquie, or Gareth, I don't know which one."
"Listen, Luna, I'm sorry about lying, but there's something I need to tell you and it's quite-"
"Jacquie, I have to get to lesson, but I'll be in the library at break, meet me there, ok? Then we can talk."
"Ok, I'll meet you there Luna"
----------------------in science----------------------
"Good morning class, everyone get out your books, planners and pencil cases."
Uhhh, I need to find out where I sit.
"Um.....hello, miss? I was wondering where I sit?"
"Ah, you must be Jacquie, you sit next to Peter, here is your excercise book, write the date and title that's on the board"
"Ok, thank you miss"
*Sits down, gets pencil case and planner out*
"Hey there, I'm Peter, and I think it'd be swell if we could be pals"
*Shakes Peter's hand*
"Hi, I'm......."
"Jacquie, I know"
"Uhhh, yeah"
*Miss Richter loads a presentation*
"Right class, today we will be doing a practical, so get with your partner's"
Okay, who do I go with?
"Um..... Jacquie, you can go with Peter, ok?"
Oh, brilliant. Well, I can't wait for the bell to go.....
*The lesson passes, and everyone spills into the corridors, rushing to their next lesson*
Ok, next up........... French, I hope this will be better than science.
"Oh, bonjour Mon petit children! Everybody get your stuff out, and carry on with the work we were doing last lesson."
Well, she looks......... cheerful?
"Ah, you must be Jacquie! I am ever so pleased to have you in my class, c'est tres bien!! You are sitting next to Luna"
*Walks over and sits down*
"Well, hello Jacquie"
"Hello stranger"
*Madame Franks hits a ruler on the table*
"Okay class, today we are carrying on with our worksheet from last lesson
"So, what was it you wanted to tell me, Jacquie?"
Oh god, ok, I need to pull myself together and just tell her.
"Well, the thing is.......I look like a girl, but......I am a boy."
"What? What do you mean?"
*Puts hands on the table*
"I am.......I am......."
"You are.....? What?"
"The truth is..... I'm transgender"
"Oh, cool."
Wait, she's not creeped out?
"Luna.......are you not creeped out by that?"
"No, of course not, why didn't you just tell me.......Gareth I'm guessing? And how do your parents feel about it? I know some don't accept their children in this situation."
"Yeah, that's my preferred name, but um....... Honestly Luna, I haven't told anyone but you yet....."
"Wow, it takes a lot of courage to tell a complete stranger that, I'm proud, do you want to talk at lunch? I have to do catch-up work at break, so.....do you?
Uhhhh, what do I say......
"Yeah, that'd be great, thanks."
*Bell rings*
"Okay, see you then Gareth."
"Yeah, see you then."
*Walks to the library*
