In all my years of school I've never been this scared for the first day. I'm attending a brand new school as a brand new person.

I'm Clifford, Michael Clifford. I'm an 17 year old from a small town in Australia.

But now because of my dad's work transfer we are moving to the heart of this country, Sydney. Now most kids would be upset leaving their old life but definitely not me since this gives me the opportunity to complete my change. What change you may be asking, well I'll tell you! I was originally born a girl. My name was Marceline Clifford but even as a child I knew I didn't belong in the body I was born in.

It felt foreign and strange to what I felt inside. I told my parents and suprisingly they took the news well, telling me they'd do anthing to help me be a happier me, and that they did. They did any and everthing they could to help me feel comfortable in the body I was given.

I walked through the halls getting looks mostly because my hair was lilac. I didn't mind the gawking because I've always enjoyed attention. I got to the front office and walked to the front counter.

"Um hi I'm new here, I'm Michael Clifford" I told the older lady behind a computer.

"Here's your schedule and your guide for the next few days" she explained gesturing to the taller blonde girl beside her.

"Hello Michael I'm Luna Scott I'll be escorting you around our lovely school" the blonde girl smiled.

I gave Luna a smile and followed her out of the room.

"I hate that old cow jeez" she huffed her peppy demeanor completely gone "but anyway Clifford your first period is English with Mrs Biggs and it's actually with me so let's go".

We began to walk down the semi empty corridors.

"So why don't you have gym Clifford? It's a requirement in your last year" she questioned.

"Medical issues" I answered quickly.

"Oh I see, you have a small penis don't you?" She asked a smirk on her round face.

"More like none" I mumbled.

"So you're a girl? Hm interesting. Don't worry I won't tell a soul. Don't like any of the knobs here anyway" she smiled.

"Thanks Luna. Is this the room?" I pointed to the door with the number 23 on it.

"Yup this is where hell is located" she joked.

"Show me the way" I laughed.

I had learned that Luna was a lot like me. She hated most people, loved music but only the good kind not the popular radio shit and secretly is obsessed with One Direction. By the third class she had already invited me to sit with her and a group of friends at lunch.

"Okay Clifford I'll give you a run down before we get to the table" she said as she grabbed a tray.

"Calum is the tan one sorta looks Asian but isn't so don't call him one because he gets offended. Ashton is the curly one with the extremely thick accent he's also my boyfriend. Then there's Luke he's the freakishly tall giant with the lip ring" she reported.

After getting some food and a drink we made our way to a table inhabited by two boys.

"Guys this is Clifford, Clifford this is the guys" Luna explained plopping down beside who I presumed to be Ashton.

"I'm Calum nice to meet you um".

"Michael" I smiled.

"Yeah its nice to meet you Mikey".

"So where's the friendly giant?" Luna questioned guiding a fry into her mouth.

"Probably somewhere with Theo doing dirty things" Calum grimaced.

"Theo?" I asked.

"Theo is Luke's slut of a boyfriend" Luna huffed.

"Hey who are we to judge love?" Ashton inquired.

"If they're in love then he has a great way of showing it, all the cheating and back of the club hand jobs" Luna scoffed.

"You better pipe down here they come now" Ashton said.

"Hey guys" I hear a low voice say.

"Hello Hemmings, this is Michael" Luna greeted.

"Hi Michael I'm Luke" the blond boy smiled.

"Nice to meet you" I returned the gesture.

"Gosh Luke don't even introduce me. What kind of boyfriend are you?" the platinum blond beside him whined.

"Sorry darling, um Michael this is my lovely boyfriend Theo" Luke smiled wrapping his arm around the boys shoulder.

"Yeah whatever. I have a test I need to make up so I'll see you later" he explained walking off.

"Why do you put up with that thing?" Luna spat.

"I love him Luna" Luke said sourly.

"Well the feelings are clearly mutual" the girl scoffed.

"Can you shut the fuck up about this for once?" he growled.

"Can you get your head out of your ass and realize that he's just using you?" Luna yelled.

"Guys stop now" Ashton hissed.

"I'm not the-"

"Just shut the fuck up okay? I'm tired of you two fighting" he snapped.

The two stopped and looked at Ashton.

"Sorry" they said in unison.

"Okay so there's a party Friday. It's at Will's you guys going?" Cal asked.

"Of course, Clifford you coming?" Luna asked.

"Sure" I smiled.

"I'll have to ask Theo but I think I will" he replied.

"Can you say whipped?" Calum laughed.

"Oh shut it" he laughed.

The bell rang signaling our lunch period was over. We all got up and threw our trays away.

"Goodbye my friends I have to now show Clifford to his next class" Luna reported looping her arm with mine.

Ashton looked at me fiercely and then kissed Luna. I almost laughed at how jealous the boy was getting.

"By everyone, it was nice meeting you" I smiled as we began to walk off.

I think I'm going to like it here.
