          It was my first day of grade 12. So of course i'm fimilar with this hell hole. I walked up to my locker to meet Alex there," Hey!!!" she said while fixing her glasses so make them equal on both sides," Hey, why so joyful?" I asked. Now Alex is usually a happy person not to get me wrong but this was different from those times. She did a sly shrug then grabbed my arm and chased me to the gym door. On it it said something about a LGBTQ+ parade. Alex is a huge supporter of the LGBTQ family and so am I but she is more then I am. " Look i know im straight but im so happy this isnt all about straight people in this school." I grabbed a sample of the flyer that was hung up," So what are you so happy about this? I mean other then them getting noticed."  She gave me a blank stare then went alone to class.

    Later that afternoon i invited Alex over for dinner because why not. While I waited for her to get here I cleaned my room because that plan was well overdue.  While i was cleaning out my closet i noticed a box and it had a lot of pictures and notes, then i finally realized what it was. It was my parents when they were my age or a little older with a baby.  At that exact same moment i heard a knock at the door, it was Alex.  I quickly placed the box back and hid it a little better then before, then raced to open the front door," Yo come in.'' i said as i held the door open for Alex so she could get in then slowly closing it.  

    The house was filled with the scent of my moms mashed potatoes. We sat down at the table and watched our plates get filled with amazing food. Let me tell you that that was the best food iv ever had in my life. 

     After dinner we headed to my bedroom to relax and talk about school and stuff. Me being stupid forgot to close my closet which was across the room which was is pretty big so im not just going to go over to close a closet. I  was hoping that since it was hidden and that it was across the room that she wouldn't see the box.  I was wrong. She thinks i have great fashion and she likes me to give her some clothes and well when she was looking for some she found the box and opened it, and of course asked what the fuck it was," Its just a box of my grandparents pictures." I said and i snapped the box out of her hand. She just shrugged and went back to finding clothes for her to borrow. 

    It was 10 pm and my mom said that Alex had to go home now since it was a school night. I went with her to the door and we said goodbye to each other blah blah blah. 

    I got into comfy clothes and i tried to fall asleep. when my mom walked in to check in on me, i pretended that i was asleep till she walked out. i was laying down for a good hour when i finally heard my parents  go to bed. i got out of bed and looked at the pictures again as me as a baby. but the thing was that it didn't look like me as a baby, it looked like a complete other person!

     Now your probably wondering how i know what i looked like as a baby, and the truth is that i have no idea but this baby had a scar on the lip and it was clearly a boy, and im an only child. A billion thoughts were going through my head at once and i had a mental breakdown. am i adopted? did i have surgery that i didnt know about? i dont have a penis right? no i dont have a penis.  i just decided to throw the box across the room and go to sleep and hours later that finally happened. 

     I woke the next morning and got dressed and just walked out the door trying not to make contact with my parents because at the moment i dont even wanna be in the same house as them. 

    School was as usual as school can get, boring classes, long hours, and horrible cafeteria food. But for some reason this day went slower then usual, i guess it could be because i was thinking about picture but i have no idea. ill talk with my parents when i get home i guess.
