Loverboy

"You don't know me"

Hi. I'm Gabe, I'm 16, about 5' 1" with short blue hair, and green-brown-blue-gray eyes. Oh yeah..
And I'm trans. That's me!

I start off my day by waking up from a nightmare like usual and going to the mirror.

"God, I look hideous!" I say as I laugh at myself. See, my hair sticks up like a cone if I don't dry it after I take a shower before I sleep. I go out of my room and to the bathroom, to fix my hair and start the day, looking at my watch to realize it was 9:04 am

"Jesus, I'm up early" I finished fixing my hair and walked by to my room, throwing on a pair of dark jeans, my sleeves, a WEBN black hoodie with orange writing, and a pair of black Harley Davidson riding boots. I think I'm ready for the day. Wait! My beanie! I grab my beanie that says "epic" on it and put it on, it had two pins on it. A shadow hunter army pin and a stand up to cancer pin. As I walk out of my room I hear my phone ding from my bed.

"Oh yeah, forgot to grab that." I grab my phone as I walk down the hallway, checking the notification I just got. It was a text. I was expecting the typical comment saying something like "ew, you're ugly" or "nobody will ever love you" but nope, it was a text on insta.

"Hey! You don't know me but my name is Kyler! I understand what it's like to feel alone and just wanted to let you know that you are not alone in this fight! I am trans myself and would love to talk!"

Huh. They seem nice enough so I reply

"Hi Kyler! I'm Gabe, if you didn't get that from my bio already, lol. Nice to meetcha! Thank you so much for the nice text! I would absolutely love to talk! I don't have much time right now but I'll text you when I can! See ya Ky! (Hope you don't mind me calling you that)" Jesus. I'm so awkward. Well, anyways. I put my phone back in my pocket and went to the kitchen. My grandma was on the couch sleeping after she worked outside all night so I tried not to wake her up and went into the kitchen to grab a lemon and took it back to my room successfully.

"Yes!" I whisper-yell as I close the door. I start to peel the lemon and eat it like an orange, yes, I eat lemons straight up, crazy, right? I laugh at myself. Well... Since it's Saturday I have to go set up my coffee stand, my cousin isn't here yet but should be soon, she always runs it with me! I'm waiting until she gets here so I can blame it on her for waking my grandma up, lol. Okay, anyways, off to start the day! I'll get my coffee when we start.
