"What if I'm not one?" I asked, my body wound tight with tension. "One what?" he asked, his voice soft and low. I hesitated. Was I ready? I wanted to tell him so badly. Wanted to scream it from the fucking rooftops. But there would be no going back if I allowed the words to spill out into the world. Telling myself I didn't need someone else's validation, that I knew myself well enough to know with absolute certainty that I was trans was all good and well in principle. But lying here underneath my bed, with my best friend's body pressed so close to mine I could feel his warm breath on my face, I felt those convictions slip through my fingers. Danny's rejection would break me. In a fundamental way. "One what?" he repeated the question, scooting so close to me the tip of his nose brushed mine. Dust motes danced around us, suspended in mid air, teetering on the brink of this momentous feeling wrapping itself around us. I squeezed my eyes shut, pushing down the rush of anxiety trying to drown me. His nose bumped mine again and his breath ghosted over my lips. I opened my eyes and stared unblinkingly into his. 'A girl', I wanted to say, even though I knew the words would taste sour in my mouth, 'what if I'm not a girl?' -------------------------------------- Sean and Danny have been next door neighbours and best friends since they were six years old.

William Adams has already had a first-year at college, but after an incident at the school, he and his family moved away from the area, in search for a fresh start. So here he is, restarting the first year in a new college. After everything, all he wants is to keep his head down and make it through the first year and hopefully into the second. He just wants to go to class, make a friend or two and live without looking over his shoulder. But sometimes the past has a horrible way of following you, no matter how much you try to hide it. No matter how much you try to move forward, there is always someone who can't let the past just be. But William's secret isn't one he's ashamed of, not at all. He has never hurt anyone, never bullied, lied or cheated. His past is just painful. He isn't ashamed, he's scared. He wants a fresh start, a chance to be happy, but there is always someone who wants to ruin that.
