I walked into my room. I was done with that school. I was done with myself. If I couldn't be the dancer I wanted to be just because of my assigned gender, what was the point of going to school anymore? I buried my head in my pillow and cried. That jerk. Why would she do that? She didn't even get to be princess 2 because of that. She's still the mother. It's because she can't dance. She knows she can't.
My mom walks into my room and sees me with my head in my pillow, crying. "Aww sweetie what's wrong?" She asked. She walks over to me and sits on my bed. "Matilda. That's what's wrong."
She frowns. "What did she do?" I looked at her. "She told my dance teacher I was a boy and now because they know I'm actually a boy they won't let me be princess 2 in the play. I'm the butler. Who comes on once and doesn't even dance! He just walks."
My mom nodded. "I see why that would bother you." How could you not? My mom stands up and walks downstairs. She's probably going to go watch TV. She accepted me as a trans person but she never cared about ME as a person. Just Matilda. Always Matilda.
I just sit on my bed and watch the TV that's in my room. This is garbage. I'm under my blanket holding a stuffie. I hate my life.
I see dad's car pull in. I get up and walk downstairs. Mom was in her room and so was Matilda. We never hang out as a family.
I open the door for dad and we start talking. "Why do you look like you've cried for hours?" He asked me. "Matilda." I say dryly. He tilts his head as in 'why? How?' and I say, "She told my dance teacher I'm a boy and now I can't be princess 2 in the upcoming performance. He shakes his head. "Did you tell Mom?" I nodded. "She didn't do anything. She just said "oh I see why that would bother you." And went to watch TV in her room."
My dad got this face on, like he wanted to kill something. He looks at me, "You should go to Xena's house for the evening. Just walk down and ask if you can stay the night." I nodded. "Your older brother will take Matilda to her friend's, too."
"Wait, what's happening?" I ask. He sighs. "Just listen to me, Val." I sigh and nod. I walk upstairs and grab a pillow blanket and my rainbow kitten plush. Then, I walk out the door.
