  "Ella! ELLA! ELLAAA! Wake up! It's time for school!"
  "Alright Mom, I'm up."
  "GOOD! You're going to be late!"
  I hurried to get ready for my first day of sophomore year. I just got my first 'boy haircut' and my parents aren't too thrilled about it. They think I'm a lesbian. My family is Catholic so they think gay and trans people are absolutely mental! I have no clue how to tell them. I haven't even come out to my best friend yet!
  "Who's the new girl?" A girl whispers as she points to me.
  "I think she's that Emma girl or whatever her name is." Her friend replies.
  "Oh yeah, Ella Taylor. I think she's gay, just look at that haircut." She says. The girls giggle and walk away. I suddenly realize who those girls are. Jadyn Stephens and Melanie Jackson. Melanie was my best friend in middle school and then decided to dump me because I was weird and always acted 'like a boy'. I'm sick of her and her little gang always picking on me.
