Trans Boy | G.W.

"I feel bad for leaving him like that," I say to Shane and Andrew. Andrew is still recording. We are walking back to our car. Well, Shane's car.
"Me too. His sign was so sad. His family didn't accept him for who he is. I can't imagine how he must feel," Shane says.
I sigh, "me too. This is horrible. I wish I could just let him in my house and take care of him."
"You can't even take care of yourself."
Shane's comment makes Andrew laugh.
I gasp, "I can!"

"Sure..." He makes a weird face to the camera. Andrew laughs again.
I sigh. "I seriously want to help him so badly. No one deserves this. And he seems so nice and sweet."
"He seems like a good guy."
Andrew starts to talk, "and he is my age... That was the weirdest thing to me."
I nod in agreement.

We arrive at the car and get in.
Shane sighs, "let's get to Starbucks and then go home."
"Sure. I still feel so bad."
"Me too. But we'll see him tomorrow," he starts the car and begins the drive. He gives Andrew a sign to stop recording.

When we arrive at his house we all sit down at the couch. But Shane keeps standing, same with Andrew. Everyone haves a drink. I sit next to Morgan. "What are we going to do now?" She asks me.
"You'll find out soon."
"Does it has anything to do with food?"
"Not really."
She nods a little disappointed.
"But it's way better than that," I say with a smile.
She smiles back but Shane starts to talk.

"Okay guys. We have a new documentary to make. Today Garrett, Andrew and I were walking around looking for ideas and we saw a boy. He is homeless and he got kicked out of his family for being transgender when he was 18. We talked to him and we are doing to get to know him and help him. So tomorrow we are going to see him. I have a plan for what we're going to do."

"So we're going to help a random homeless boy?" Ryland asks.
I nod, "yes. But he deserves it. He is 25 years old. And he seems so sweet and nice."
"What's your plan?"
Shane looks at everyone for a second.

"We first start to get to know him. We record a day in his life and follow him around for one day. Then we give him a make over. We let people give him a hair cut, let him get a shower, but him clothes and maybe even help him with his transition. Since he still haves girl features. So maybe we can help him with you know... Surgery? Those hormones? Something like that."

"That is expensive," Ryland says and he sips his drink.
"We have the money."
"I am poor but I'm down to pay something like that for him. Like, I can't do that alone, but I'll help you," I say.
"And we can try to get this video sponsored," Shane says.
"Let's email Honey," Ryland says and he takes his phone.
"Good. Now we have that. Someone who is against my plan?"
Everyone is quiet.

Shane turns to the camera, "I guess we'll see you guys tomorrow."
Andrew laughs a little and turns off the camera.

Shane and Ryland start to email Honey and I talk to Morgan and Andrew about how excited I am about this.
"And his name is Ron and he haves like the same eye color as Ron Weasley," I say with a smile.
Andrew laughs, "of course more Harry Potter."
"I love Harry Potter."
Shane overhears the conversation and sighs.

"Maybe he can be your boyfriend," Morgan says.
My eyes get big, "Morgan! I am not trying to date him! I just want to help him. He needs and deserves that."
"I am just saying. Maybe he is your soulmate. You never know."
"Or he is your soulmate."
"You know what all the guys I date turn gay?"
Andrew and I both laugh.
