Hi, I'm Wallace. A little bit about myself, I'm sixteen, seventeen next March. I'm transgender, so my gender and sex don't align. that's a pretty minute detail in my life, though. I'm an aspiring screenplay writer, work at our local 50's diner, Sally's, and have a group of great friends. I also happen to be living mostly out of my car. It's okay though, it's a pretty good life. No school, I was expelled. My brother stays with me a lot. Life is good. The title New Names is inspired by the identity struggle some trans kids go through, especially if they're in an unsafe environment. A lot of people take their name for granted but for us, its a part of our identity, our real selves. Best Ranking: 26 in Creative

Zora

Growing up is difficult. The body goes through changes. Hormones mess with you. Everyone gets bullied at one point by someone. For Zora, it was worse. Not only was she bullied at school, she was bullied at home, abused by her father. She was a disgrace in everyone's eyes. Constantly suffering, she needed something that would give her hope and make her feel good about herself. Though it caused her to be bullied even more, she didn't care. She would live her life out and proud as a woman, despite how everyone saw her as a man. Hope meant nothing to her until the day her father died, prompting her to move in with her mother and stepbrother in New York, away from her transphobic community in Georgia. But moving didn't mean everything would suddenly get better. Dealing with transphobic bullies and a stepbrother who doesn't understand who she is, Zora worried she'd always endure constant ridicule. But moving somewhere new could lead to better things, like an accepting mother, friends, and a boy who finds her to be the most beautiful girl alive. Change meant new things were going to come, and if the world wasn't going to change for her, she'd have to change it herself.
