“W… What do you know?” Selena was panicking now.

“That you cheated on your boyfriend who had nude pictures of you and send them to the whole school. The one you cheated with was a trans boy, now they think you are a lesbian, and they bully or ignore you.”

Selena looked down and back up, tears running over her cheeks.

“Fuck.” She said before standing up and trying to reach the door. She wanted to get out, get away from here. They knew, they would be so disappointed and ashamed of her. They would hate her. They would stop loving her. Before she could reach the door, a strong hand grabbed her arm.

“Stay here.” Bette said.

“No, let me go, let me go!” Selena yelled while trying to free her arm, she was crying of shame and angst. She didn’t want to be confronted with how stupid she had been. After a while, she gave up and just cried, her knees almost giving in. Bette pulled her daughter close and hugged her. Selena stood there with her mother’s arms around her. Tina also came closer and rubbed the girl’s back. When Selena calmed down, she took a step backwards and dried her eyes. They all sat back down.

“Why did you do it, Lena?” Tina asked, hurting for her daughter.

Selena sighed. “He asked me how I looked without clothes and stuff. I told him I wasn’t going to tell him that. He asked for a picture. I was so in love with him and I didn’t think when I took a picture of myself and send it to him. I think I did it two or three times after that, I loved it when he said that I was beautiful and that he loved me.” Selena took a deep breath. “Then I met Gregg. He didn’t need anything from me to be nice. When Dwayne and I were in a crisis because he was so jealous and always had to know where I was and with whom, Gregg was there for me and somehow I ended up cheating on Dwayne with him. He walked in on Gregg and I kissing. After that, he sent those pictures of me to everyone. Dora, a friend of mine at the time, told everyone that the reason we broke up was Gregg. Now, on top of people thinking I’m a slut and a whore, they also think I’m a lesbian.”
