Weeks had passed since the incident with Charlie. It seemed he had kept his promise, so Adam forgot the whole thing even happened at this point. His secret, to his knowledge, was safe; or so he thought.
Appearing over him, Adam looked up from his school work to see James looking down at him, wearing a smirk. "I know your secret," Puzzled, Adam rose his eyebrow. "My secret? What secret, I tell you everything," Reaching into his pocket, Adam retrieved Charlie's phone, then whispering into Adam's ear. "You do? Then why did I find pictures of you on Charlie's phone dressed as a chick?" Adam completely froze upon hearing this, all sorts of emotions flowing through him at once.
"Adam? Dude, Adam," said James, shaking Adam to his senses. Adam blinked a few times before shaking his head. "Mmmh... You're not mad, are you?" James shook his head. "Not at all, just a little confused as to why you never told me. I don't care if you're gay," Adam sighed and put his head in his hand. "I'm not fucking gay, dude,"
"You're not? Then why th-" Adam put a finger to James's lips and whispered, "Not so loud and it's because I, uh... I'm trans, okay? Now get off my dick," He removed the finger from James's lips, who just simply looked at him confused. "The fuck does that mean?" Adam sighed, looking away. "It means I wanna be a chick basically," Upon hearing this, James just burst out laughing.
"Really James?" shouted Adam in protest. "That's the funniest thing I've heard, but I get you. Having a pussy would be fun," said James, still chuckling. "It's not about being curious about what having a pussy is like, I don't feel like I'm a guy," James cleared his throat to get the rest of his giggles out. "I've known you almost my whole life, you don't act like a girl. You even beat my ass once,"
Adam rolled his eyes, sighing, "I don't show that side of myself around you, clearly; and you deserved to get your ass beat, you almost ran me over with that motorcycle of yours," James chuckled, remembering that day. "Yeah, thankfully I'm into that kinda dumb shit anymore. Times have changed," Adam nodded. "I'd say. Can we discuss this later, in private?" James gave a thumbs up and ruffled Adam's hair. "Sure thing,"
