Charity

"Fudge it," I say. I grab Charlie. "it. fudge your parents fudge everyone. As long as I have you, I'll be fine, we'll be fine, okay," I say with tears dripping down my face. Charlie is studying my face and then just hugs me. I was screaming in my head. I just wish I could die now. "Charlie?" I ask. "Yes?" he says. "Could you stay? Forever," I said feeling stupid. "Of course Charity. I love you," he replies with. We just sat there hugging for about 20 minutes before either of us pulled away. I'm still crying, I'm wishing I could just get the courage to tell Charlie about my secret.

Then His phone rings. "Hey mom," He says looking at Me. "Sorry I have to take this." He walks out into the hall.

I self harm a lot. It helps me forget about my parents and the bullying. Before I moved here, I was severely bullied. Since I was five or six I knew I was trans. I was bullied in kindergarten for wearing a dress and having a girly haircut. Even the girls wouldn't talk to me. I went home crying every night because I had no friends. Then I met Rosy. Rosy became my best friend, until fifth grade when she moved. Then I met Emily.

Emily became my friend very quickly, we hung out all the time. Weekend after weekend, month after month, I would call her my best friend. Then in the summer before 8th grade started. We were in the same summer camp. I left my phone on the charger and went to the bathroom with one of the younger ones. While I, was there she got on my phone and started going on my socials. Now I would have been okay with this if she would have told me about it. But she didn't, and so I was pissed. I was really enraged when I found out she did this with one of the girls I least like and lied about it. They also logged into my socials on their phones. I was about to swing at someone, but I didn't I kept my calm for a while. Then we "talked" about it we didn't go back to talking. We still don't speak to this day but, that really fudgeed me up. I have trust issues because of that.

Then I met my squad and my best friend. My crew mainly consist of Kenya, Kayla, Annie, Dannie, Susie, Addie, Charlie, and Jeneto. They are all a year older than me, but that's okay because they cool.

Kenya and Charlie are my main girly's. My older brother Jeneto is chill too. But anyway I trust these people with my heart and soul. I feel like I've prized these people since day one.

Charlie walks back into the room. "I'm so sorry charity but I have to go."

"Okay, it's fine."

He knew I was lying but couldn't really do anything. So he gave me one last quick hug and left.

Soon after he left, I fell asleep.

I feel a soft hand brush my face. I open my eyes and see my mom.
