I'm interrupted in the hallway

walking back to my classroom

from the bathroom

by a girl

who she is idk

with ten layers of lip gloss

and 2 inch long fake eyelashes

walking out of the gym

looks at me

"Are you a boy or a girl?" 

I'm silent shocked staring

only for a second

"I'm a girl" 

walk back into class

am I really that masculine? 

sure I'm wearing 'boys jeans' 

girl jeans make me feel weird

I have a unibrow and thick eyebrows

I don't dress like the other girls

but I've got long hair 

are my boobs

really that small?

I'm in a rage

for the rest of the day

did I do something wrong?

did I?

did I

but the thing is

I'm not

a girl

not fully

Demigirl, 3/4 girl

 I like that 1/4 nonbinary 

Don't tell me it's not a gender

It is

the feeling resides in me now

that weird pinprick in my chest

wondering

why? 

why did she need to know?

so random

making me question myself

again

after I just thought I finally found out 

who I am
