'Why am I scared of doing this?'

The brunette slowly walked down the corridor and to her locker, opening it and pushing her law studies binder inside.

"I have plenty of that kind of binder." She muttered, smiling at her own inside joke. She shook her head, making her ponytail swish, the ends brushing the base of her neck.

"Boo!" Cee-cee felt two hands on her sides, making her jump and squeal a little. She turned and saw her girlfriend, Skye giggling at the slightly shorter girl's shock.

"Not cool, Skye." Cee-cee huffed, shoving her partner's shoulder.

"Aww, I'm sorry." She smiled cheekily, hugging the anxious teen.

"It's okay. So, what's got you in such a good mood?"

"Mum took me to get my nails done. Actual acrylics this time." Cee-cee looked at her girlfriend's hand to see that her nails had been done, now painted in a simple French manicure and a little longer that usual.

The pair entwined their fingers and made their way to the front field to meet their friends.

"Like, in public? She didn't get her friend to do it?" The shorter asked.

"In public." Skye smiled. "Wasn't easy but wasn't the worst experience ever."

"How come?" Cee-cee raised an eyebrow.

"Just the usual. One of the other nail techs saw the pin on my jacket collar and talked to other clients saying how disgusting it was and that I need help." Skye looked at the small transgender pin on her jacket.

Skye was born Samuel but by age thirteen 'he' knew that Skye was who she was meant to be. Now seventeen, Skye was out to her family and friends who were all, luckily, supportive.

"Morons." Cee-cee muttered, more anxiety settling in her stomach.

The couple were now a few metres away from their friends who were sat on the grass. Rubble was laying on his stomach, reading 'Of Mice and Men', Rocky was helping Zuma with his maths homework while Marshall and Everest were talking and blowing dandelions.

"Hi girls!" Everest waved when she saw her friends. The rest of the group greeted the couple as they sat down.

"H-" Marshall all of a sudden started coughing continuously, his face slowly turning red.

"What the hell?" Rocky said, looking at his friend in concern. Marshall pointed to the dandelion stalk that lay beside him and then his throat.

"Oh my god, only you would inhale a fucking flower!" Zuma laughed. Marshall, still choking, flipped Zuma off and waved to his girlfriend for his water bottle. She passed it over and bit her lip in amusement as her boyfriend chugged the drink to clear his throat.

"Fuck you all." He said after taking a few deep breaths.

"Well if you start throwing up flowers, we know why." Rubble wheezed, still recovering from his fit of laughter.

"I think that'll only happen if Ev stops loving me." He said.

"Anyway, what was your message all about this morning, Cee-cee?" Rocky asked.

"Yeah, what did you need to tell us?" Marshall asked, sitting back and resting on his elbows.

"Well, I, uh," She stammered.

Come on! Skye did it! Why am I so scared?!

"I'm, well, um,"

"Hun, what's up?" Skye asked, moving her hand to the brunette's shoulder.

"I'm not Cee-cee. I'm not... a g-girl." She muttered. Her friends looked at her in sympathy. They knew how hard it was for her to say it - remembering how much of a wreck Skye was those years ago.

Each of them gave words of support and encouragement, making their friend's spirit lift but her girlfriend was yet to speak.

"S-Skye?" Cee-cee couldn't take her silence for much longer. The blonde gently turned her partner's face so they were looking at each other. The shorter's eyes were full of tears.

Skye gently ran her thumbs under the hazel eyes, wiping the tears away. "My boyfriend's eyes," she muttered. Her hands moved to Cee-cee's, holding them tightly. "My boyfriend's hands," she leaned closer, the couple's noses touching and lips millimetres away. "My boyfriend's nose," finally, the blonde closed the gap between them and kissed her partner softly, feeling the brunette relax in relief. They pulled away and looked at each other happily. "My boyfriend's lips." Skye ran her thumb over them gently. "My boyfriend is beautiful. Handsome. Strong. Brave. Incredible." She said, smiling down at the brunette who lunged forward and clung to her tightly, burying her face into her chest.

"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you." The blue dressed girl rambled.

"What're you thanking me for?" Skye giggled.

"Accepting me." The brunette sniffed.

"You muppet!" Skye pulled the shorter of the two up so that they were looking at each other properly. "Why wouldn't I? I know what you've been through, Honey. And I know it isn't easy." She kissed her partner's cheek.

"So do your parents know?" Rubble asked. Cee-cee shook her head.

"Mum I think has caught on but I haven't told them."

"And what about your name?" Rocky asked, sitting back against Zuma.

"I hadn't thought about that..." The brunette mumbled. "How'd you choose?" She looked at Skye.

"Well, my grandpa always told me that the sky's the limit. And it's something I lived by so, I chose Skye." She explained.

"Didn't your grandma always tell you to chase your dreams?" Marshall asked, remembering that Cee-cee's grandma was a huge part of her life. His best friend nodded.

"Chase." She muttered, testing the way the name felt. "Chase." The others watched as her hazel eyes lit up and she smiled. "Chase. I'm Chase!" She hopped up onto Skye's lap excitedly.

The others couldn't help but laugh at their friends excitement.

He was Chase.

And he felt perfect.
