I look disgusting, it was a bad day. Dana muttered through clenched teeth as she struggled to lift her leg into the proper slot in her panties. So are you excited for today? I know you were all… angry.. Last night, but maybe something changed?

I guess it looks okay, the theater department looks fantastic. She smiled, shutting the yearbook and placing it back on the shelf.

Oh god youll love it. The people there are amazing, especially the teachers. Galla is amazing, and shes totally lezzie, so she gets major points for that. Shes been helping me through a lot of the feelings Ive been having. The only problem I have is there is no way Im coming out, so they tease me about it.

A laugh stifled as Tina put the finishing touches on her makeup, looking to her cousin who was dressed simply a pair of jeans and a white tank top. Alright, She exhaled, hands moving quickly as they wrapped her hair up in a quick bun. Lets go!

Dana smiled and ran a hand through her slick wet hair, Okay, to the bat mobile! Both girls shared a laugh before dashing down the stairs, finding shoes on the way to the car. Tina found the passengers side and Dana fell into the drivers seat, both buckling their seatbelts.

Leyden North, here we come! Tina screamed, pumping her fists into the air.

Christina Kennard? The teachers monotone voice broke the soft silence that filled the room filled with freshmen, each of them looking around to find their friends from Junior High, young eyes also studying the faces of their new peers.

Present. Tina said brightly, ignoring the snickers that erupted from the mouths of her classmates. The teacher checked off the name on her class list, carrying on with the names until everyone was accounted for. The bell rang, and kids madly scrambled for the door, pushing Tina as she attempted to clear the doorway. She hadnt expected the people here to be so rude, to not care about anyone around them, but she hadnt expected to like it here either.

Hey, Christina? A soft voice poked through the roar of the bustling hall, a hand tapping against the blondes shoulder. Tina tilted her head and spun on her toes, turning to face a girl who stood about the same height as herself. Im Tammi, I thought it was totally rude of them to all laugh at you back there. And I know that youre not around here, so I just thought Id say hi and introduce myself so you dont feel so… lost?
