*Johnny…………
It was really an amazing date and she was still just sort of floating. Yes Danny was a friend and it’s nice to go out with friends but it was really way more than she had really ever thought that she could hope and dream for to get to go out and have a real date.
Girls like her rarely ever got to have real dates, not unless they passed really well and they were really into transition. The few lucky ones that looked really passable got to date sometimes in school but those were really rare times because out of all the TG people that you hear about in blogs or on the news getting to have prom or stuff like that there’s a thousand sad hurt and lonely stories.
Last night even was a hairs breadth from being torpedoed from a bunch of hater girls that thought that she shouldn’t be allowed to date or be in public much less using the ladies room.
She stood her ground but inside…
Inside standing her ground had hurt like standing up on broken glass.
If the world was fair she would be seen just as real and valid as those other girls. Hell if the world was fair she’d been born a girl instead of having to look in the mirror and see things that just are supposed to be.
Gender disphoria hurts.
It’s as painful and as crushing as depression can be and it’s a whole lot less accepted.
But then there was Danny last night and even when the good date had turned to crap it had become so much better. Shortest guy she knew and yet he was just so good and he was so strong for her and not in that grr Tarzan way but he took her and he’d held her and taken her to a place that he liked and where it was kind of romantic and he wasn’t afraid of it being that way.
Milkshakes and red velvet cake and the juke box and this amazing sweet song that made her girl heart ache and sniffle and cling to him tightly through the dancing in front of the juke box.
She looked for it and had *All have to do is Dream…* on her phone now to listen to.
She couldn’t hold it in after she got home…even after talking to her parents about it and laughing and even hugging her self and a pillow on her bed because this was…well it was actually huge.
Danny even if he was her friend he’d take HER on her first real date she’d ever been on in her life. And it was so a real date…he treated it like a real date and she did like him…there might actually be something there beyond friendship even…he knew, he already knew and it was so perfect.
It was that perfect she ended up conference calling Lindsey and Honey and talking for hours and hours about everything. She knew she’d repeated herself and that Lindsey was okay with most of it to a point but at the same time she was kind of not into the whole girl talk.
She and Honey though had talked and giggled over all these little details and stuff Lindsey was more interested in who the hater girls were and what had happen there at the theatre and she was bored to groaning over the girly bits and when the conversation had turned from what she’d been wearing to what they’d be wearing tomorrow.
That’s where Lindsey admitted. “I’m completely lost on the whole clothes and wardrobe stuff. I mean it’s mostly thrift store stuff and hand me downs and pass me sideways stuff anyhow.”
Johnny was actually a bit excited really vintage clothes rocked and she had made Lindsey take out her clothes and show them to them on video chat. Lindsey looked a little tortured by the whole thing but at the same time once Honey and she had seen what Lindsey had and what would work she paired up a few things so as to give Lindsey a different look.
Which they were going to finish in the girls bathroom.
They were heading there when Jessie slid beside her. “We should keep an eye out today.”
She nodded. “Yeah those girls at the theatre go to school here I’m already expecting to get searched for my spray.”
“You bring it?”
“No, I knew they might do this so nothing with me sprays today.”
“Good idea but just keep an eye out and a camera ready for the Muslim girl we passed coming in.”
“I must have missed her, okay…I will.”
“I get the feeling she tries to be overlooked but that’s not going to fly here with here wearing her hijab.”
“Hijab?”
“Headscarf.”
“Oh okay…this might get bad?”
“It really might.”
“Okay… be safe.”
“You too be aware.”
They hugged and she went with Lindsey and honey into the bathroom where they got Lindsey redressed for the day. Tall thin blonde and skinny they went with a bra but one with gel inserts to help out a little making Lindsey blush fiercely until she stared in the mirror.
“Holy cheese I have boobs!”
“Yes you’ve got great little boobs.”
“Little’s the key word. I swear part of me has always thought that if my breasts were bigger I’d actually feel more girly…even this doesn’t make me really feel girl just more like…less slubby…less dishwater?”
“You’re not slubby and you’re not dishwater you’re slender and long legged and really hot.”
“I’m not hot. I’m…I don’t know.”
Honey looked at Lindsey. “Actually you look like a teenaged long haired version of Tilda Swinton.”
“Tilda who?”
“The actress that played Jadis.”
“Who?”
Johnny snerked. “The white witch from the Narnia movies.”
“Oh great I look like a villain?” Lindsey rolled her eyes as she slid into the bellbottom jeans she had brought with her and took the women’s red Nike racer back shirt that Johnny had brought. “You sure that I can wear this?”
“Uhm…yeah…duh we’re girlfriends we share clothes and stuff.”
“Oh okay but why does this never work with my sisters?”
Johnny looked Lindsey over and sat up on the counter and pulled her in and around and started to braid her long blonde hair. “That’s because you mom and sisters see you as a girly girl like them and they don’t know how to be anything but who they are.”
“So why are you so good at this then?” She was trying to pull down the hem of the shirt futilely.
“Because I know I’m a girl but for awhile I really had no clue as to what kind of girl that I was so I experimented with stuff until I found the me that’s just me. Linds…it’s supposed to show some belly button.”
“God…really I have to be one of those girls?” Lindsey complained looking down towards her navel.
Honey looked at her. “Seriously you don’t look like one of those girls, and you’re skinny you have a nice flat sexy tummy so show it off because half of “Those girls” are lazy and stuff and are sporting a muffin top.”
Johnny grinned and leaned over. “Just the shoes and we’re done.”
“Shoes?”
“You’re a sort of geekette right?”
“Sort of…yeah…why?”
“Red top and blue jeans what would go better than…” Johnny paused for effect.
Lindsey looked at her lost. “I have no clue.”
Johnny pulled out an old pair of canvas running shoes with a very tell tale theme decorating them. “Ta-daaa…”
“Spiderman sneakers?”
“Yep it’ll work really.”
“Really…? Are you sure?”
“Yeah it’ll be girly geek cute chic and it’ll say that as hot as you look you’re still a geekette and therefore not one of the vapid crowd in crowd.”
“I don’t look hot.”
Johnny turned her around so she could see herself in the mirror. Long blonde hair pulled back into a long single braid, red racer back lycra Nike shirt that showed off her shoulders and her navel and worked really well with the enhanced bust she was sporting and the hippy now more sort of vintage hipsterette bell bottom jeans sort of took the jockette feel out of the look and she had to admit they sort of played really well in this geekette sort of way with the sneakers Johnny had in her hands.
“Okay…okay just no make up its just eww.”
“Okay, sure baby steps, baby steps but a bit of perfume.”
“Perfume I don’t want to smell like one of those skanks.”
“Nope, no way…would you just trust me?”
“Okay but I want to smell them first.”
She held up a pair small sprizters of perfume then sprayed some of each on some paper towel. She passed it to Lindsey.
“What are those? This isn’t bad?”
“This one is orange flower water and this one is essence of vanilla.” Johnny grinned. “My own inventions actually.”
“Really?”
“Yes…I’m good at chemistry and interested in cosmetics and scents.”
Honey smelled it too. “Okay I like this no one else in school has this smell.”
Lindsey took them and looked them over. “Vanilla-orange creamcicle…okay where do I spritz and how much.”
*Kenyon…………
He couldn’t believe he had just said what he had said to everyone and it was the fact they all sort of took it in good cheer and went with the joke and Lindsey being really cook about it took a whole lot of the OMF out of a very major OMF moment.
He waited with the others a few minutes as Jessie had a confab with Johnny as she and the girls headed into the girls bathroom and Jessie just went in there too like he had every right to in the world.
Okay well maybe he had two major rights for that.
He sort of leaned against the wall and was going to put his hands in his pockets and sort of lounge slub and Danny took his hand?
“Daniel…what are you doing?”
“Are you like out out?”
“Yeah I think that I am….it’s not like people didn’t here me say that just back there and it’s likely already going around.”
“Okay then well Sam had a great idea.”
Kenyon looked over to Sam who was finger spelling pretty fast with Donnie and Nick was trying to keep up and so was Brian. “Okay…so what’s this great idea?”
“Well when one of our friends comes out we start a little coming out tradition.”
“Okay…” Dan holding his hand was getting looks and whispers down the hall of course Daniel being Daniel seemed immune to the thoughts of the masses and looked up at him in this almost exaggerated sweet way.
Then he stood up on his tip toes and gave Kenyon a light sweet kiss on the lips.
“Happy gay day.”
He blinked totally gobsmacked and he stared at Daniel until he heard another pointed cough in front of him and Donnie did the same and gave him a light sweet kiss.
Then Sam…and then Nick who tried to stutter out happy gay day too but was blushing so hard his head might explode and then Brian…Brian the jock and everyone was watching and a whole bunch more had come to see these geeks, these boys kissing…actually kissing this one boy.
And there in front of everyone Brian actually kissed him on the lips…and even touched his sides with his hands…it was instant wood. Brian smiled at him and tilted his head and said loud enough that some people would over hear.
“Huh…two guys kissed and look the world didn’t come to an end…Happy gay day Kenyon.”
“Uh-huh…oh wow…are you gay?”
“Sorry but no, still you’re a great kiss though.”
Kenyon blushed and looked down and there was a lot of whispers going on and he thought he seen some faculty heading their way and the girls were out of the ladies room and he looked up and Jessie was there and he smiled that sweet sexy smile of his and Jessie leaned over and kissed him too.
It was a little longer.
It was a lot closer.
There was straining bulge grinding against straining bulge and Kenyon was sure that sometime was close to popping in his pants painfully.
Jessie broke the kiss. “Happy gay day I guess.”
“Uhm…thanks…”
“Well seeing as we’re sort of treating it like a birthday what would you like as a present?”
Kenyon stared at Jessie a dozen and a half things going through his mind and three quarters of them sexual and dirty and making the whole situation in his pants a whole lot worse.
He swallowed the fear down and took some strength from his friends actually having his back the way that they did.
“A Date.”
“Okay.”
“Okay?”
“Yes, really okay.”
“Saturday?”
“Saturday night’s better.”
“Okay…” He blushed he seriously blushed and he dipped his head and he really had no idea what to do next.
That’s was about the same time that the faculty member came over to “see” what was going on. They were wearing a hall duty sash and looked not too pleased with wearing it.
He had a frown on but with no one making out any more he just gave them all this pissy look and turned and walked away.
Jessie grinned. “Must be waaaay too early for him to be doing this kind of thing before his second cup of coffee.”
There were general nods of agreement and they went together for their second cups of coffee in the cafeteria before the bells went off for morning classes.
*Jessie............
He’d really never intended to go as far as he just did with Kenyon but with things in life sometimes things just happen even when you’re the one making them happen.
He really, really tried to keep an open mind when it came to his sexuality because of his condition. He was pretty sure as much as the way that he was just sort of drove some of the red necks up the wall with him being different like he was there would be some that might just be the opposite.
Hate nearly killed him with this.
But all that hate had taught him life was way too short sometimes and it could end pretty easy.
So when he cane out of the doorway to the girls bathroom and saw the guys all kissing Kenyon in this gay day sort of welcoming we accept you solidarity thing he waited until he had a better moment and when he had stepped up to Kenyon there was more than a little bit of the other morning in the car there.
And the kiss was longer.
And the kiss was hotter.
And there was that whole thing where they crotch touched and he felt Kenyon aroused and straining against his pants but that straining was pressing into his own arousal and it actually felt good. Not freaky, not something that felt even close to him needing space or panicking it was…
It was actually hot…and steamy and it made his nipples tighten and swell and get harder than he had ever felt them outside of when he directly was well…yes, that.
So…hard and delicious feeling and awake…clothed, and there with other people having one person do all this…saying yes was actually pretty easy to do.
Jessie wondered as they walked. Does dating a boy go differently when you’re a boy? And what’s the rules? He was asked out so is he the?
Datee?
He wasn’t a fan of the whole idea of someone being top or bottom because people change from day to day and Jess also wasn’t fond of the whole who’s the girl thing straight people tend to ask gay and lesbian people. He was a fan of the analogy of that being like asking someone which chopstick they were.
He looked at everyone as they got coffees or something else. “Dad’s having me working most of Saturday morning and stuff on the backyard everyone but he said it’d be cool if everyone came over though he’d fire up the grill and we could have a get together and a barbeque?”
They all looked at each other Johnny grinned. “You guys got a pool?”
“Nope but a big back yard and it’ll be fenced it one well, once we build the fence.”
There was some laughs and everyone said that they’d come. Honey even asked if it would be okay if her mom came over too.
“Actually sure, I’ll talk to the folks and we’ll have maybe a big multi-family get together since we’re all friends anyhow plus my folks will be more than happy to make some friends and meet people too outside of work.”
Donnie said. “Y’know not a bad idea considering all the brouha that’s going on with stuff here and the school board meeting.”
Nick tapped stuff out on his phone for the voice app. “The meeting will be Monday night down at the district hall.”
Jessie looked at him. “Good to know they didn’t post that on the school webpage.”
Nick actually smiled a little bit, it was shy but it was a smile. “No, they didn’t and they won’t and they’d moved it too.”
“Moved it?” Jessie raised his eyebrows.
“They used to have it here in the auditorium of the school.”
Jessie frowned. “Well, that was decidedly sneaky who did that the admin here or the school board.”
Nick tapped out. “I think it was both.”
Jessie nodded and paid for his coffee and took a drink. “We better tell people, my folks will want to go and I want to go too but we should wait until the school day’s out before going viral with this.”
The other’s looked at him and Daniel nodded. “Right because if they’re still here and working and find out during business hours for both of them then they’ll change it and reschedule it all over again.”
Jessie grinned. “Right, we want them to not be able to change that at the last minute.”
They started to head off to their classes in groups…Jessie made sure that they all had a couple of people with each other from the gaming kids and them to even Donnie’s skate friends and a few of the LGBT kids who had come up to Kenyon and had him blushing all over again as a few of them kissed him and told him “happy gay day.” And promptly said they were all stealing that and that they all were really brave for standing up like that with Kenyon.
Jessie smiled at all of that. “It just seemed the right thing to do at the right time I guess, besides it’s not a bad thing really to shake up some of the haters.”
He gestured towards some of the hater kids and there was a mix of the jock-holes and the rednecks and the churchy hater crowd all talking or rather almost protesting at the few faculty members that were in the cafeteria and pitching a fix about them… “having the right not to be subjected to the sick perversion at school.” They were very brazenly pointing at Jessie and Johnny and Danny and Kenyon.
Lindsey got that “Lindsey” look on her face and took her phone out and walked up pretty close to the churchy hate group kids. One of the teachers gave her this look. “Put the phone away no more recording stuff in school. You’re violating the privacy laws protecting the students.”
“I’ll do that when you do something about these jerks.”
“What do you mean…and I don’t like your tone.”
“I don’t like the fact I heard then use the word faggot with you a half dozen times and nothing happened so how about you worry less about me being mad over something damned offensive and do something about it.”
The woman looked a little more than pissed off at what Lindsey was saying and she started to say. “Look here you little tram….”
Jessie did this Yoo-hoo whistle to the teacher and she looked up and the entire group had their camera phones out.
Danny grinned and imitated Emilio Estvavez from the movie Young Guns. “Smile, I’ll make you famous.”
She turned several colors and she turned on her heel and headed off and another faculty member was coming over and this one didn’t seem in favor by the churchy kids who looked to see who was coming and left grumbling and shooting them more dirty looks.
Some even pointed and didn’t seem to care they were on camera. “You’re going to get yours faggots.” Another one added. “God’s going to make sure you burn.” And there were others muttering fags, dykes, fucking queers as the left.
Jessie grinned at everyone. “Well there’s a good way to start the weekend.”
The group nodded and laughed and snickered some with that but all of them shook hands or hugged as the bell rand and headed off it groups more than aware that there were people that were going to start something at some time with someone.
Jessie told all of them…every one there. “Be safe, be aware.”
He looked over as he was leaving and the alpha kids were in their own huddled group talking closely amongst themselves and sharing out several hate filled scornful looks mostly aimed at him and at Lindsey and at Brian.
It might just be a rough ride today to get to the weekend.
Comments
Really nice!
I love how there all pulling together and sticking it in the face of the haters. I fear though that there's a major brouhaha coming. Ms. Summers, please do try to stay out for the VP's office, always causing trouble you are! (giggling profusely!). (Hugs) Taarpa
Yep there's things coming Ms. Taarpa.
It's Friday and hence the weekend so there are some who might just take the chance to start some more trouble.

the reverse i'm watching you card. looks like 'little brother' is keeping the teacher honest.
good chapter, thanks
"Little brother." I like that.
I might have to use that somewhere in the story.

Thanks El's:)
Saw that done once some LGBT kids and a whole bunch of anti-bullying kids did the kissing thing and sort of diffused the ability for some of the haters to bitch.

I like it
I like it, though it seems to be a bit of a tease for what's coming next. Though the 'Happy Gay Day' scene was pretty cool, as was the scene with Lindsey. I just wonder what is going to happen next. *pouts* Don't keep us waiting too long. :)
Samirah M. Johnstone
I liked the Happy Gay Day thing too.
I kind of wanted to showcase that part of the day here before the other events happened and overshadowed that scene.
*Great Big Hugs*

So the calm before the storm? :)
Well, the minor storm of surviving the rest of the school day, the calm of the weekend and hanging out (the eye, perhaps?), then the big storm of the school board meeting (and its aftermath)...
As the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body, then only left-handers are in their right mind!
“Be safe, be aware.â€
good advice for anybody
Yes it's good advice for sure.
Especially in this community.

Cameras are not enough now
Jesse's gang will need to get the police officers involved that appeared back in episode 2 or 3 that Jesse spoke with to accompany them and or watch them because they will make better witnesses and can do something right away. Also get a local television station for the news involved with a reporter and notify the ACLU - ACLU can file an injunction against the school board for failure to protect Jesse's group's rights, and contact the the US Justice Dept and notify them of organized right wing collusion with local government and religion to perpetrate Hate crimes against juveniles with local govt support to those perpetrating it.
Jesse isn't stupid and this must be done.
In the meantime, broken bricks and tiles, Loud canned air whistles, electronic wireless remotes to loud alarms and police sirens they can purchase, and 100,000 watt hand taser's with lithium ion batteries distributed amongst the group will help.
Jesse can even study up in the library or on the internet the various traps and methods used by the Vietcong on how to combat people using everyday stuff and prepare for the worst: study the layout of the school blg design, the outlying vegetation, the houses nearby, where vehicles are parked and take notice and decide what to do to protect themselves or lay stashes of things they will need to use to defend themselves in hidden spots. And most of all they need communications and stay in contact at all times with each other.
Make no mistake - they are at war. You fight to win no matter what.
Sephrena
Sephy? Have you been hanging with Jessie?
You've nailed some of the things that's been going on in his head pretty much straight through your comment:) Especially the be prepared stuff remember the stuff in his jacket? And the "Sword" from tilting came from these events too.
Some of it might wait until after the school board meeting just to see what they might have to fight.

ILL MAKE YOU FAMOUS
Billy the kid never truely said that but who caires. Its the perfect answer to an over barring uncairing assclown who should be the one enforceing the rules for everyone not just a select few. As they say backhome never under estamate the OUTLAW becouse when you lest expect it they'll jump up and bite you in the ass.
May the peace and happiness of the Goddess keep and protect you
as always your humble outlaw

Yeah still a great movie line though Wolfjess7:)
Which really fit Danny saying it of course. Though now I wanna go listen to the sound track again. And some really great heroes were called outlaws.

Good chapter
++++++++++++
Cartman: A fine day of plundering we had boys. What about yourselves? Here you are lads, plenty of booty to go around. A round of grog for me boys. A round of grog for everyone!
LOL love your quote there Grog.
I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter:)
*And a rum ration from me.*
Bailey Summers
Holy cheese!
I love that little line.
With all the uncomfortable erection talk, I'm kinda like Elaine on the Seinfeld show. "I don't know how you guys walk around with those things between your legs!"
Super good chapter, Bailey!!!
Peace!
Cindilee
LOL! I got the line from Jonelle actually:)
It's so cute too she really says that:) I'm really glad you liked it honey!

it's a world gone mad...
In what world wouldn't spiderman sneakers be the appropriate choice of footwear for a girl? Good call there by Johnny in her continuing girlification of Lindsey. Great to see both girls continue to blossom. :-)
I can't say that I see 'Happy Gay Day' catching on at the school at the moment but it was a great show of support for Kenyon. Serious kudos to Brian for the classy way he handled it as well. I definitely want to see what a Johnny - Brian date would be like now!
Thank you for another enjoyable chapter Bailey.
"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."
Hey the Spidey kicks are vintage and Tomboygirly:)
Johnny kind of see's a fine line between the tomboy thing and the girly line where Lindsey seems to be. I think she's right to go with the idea of a whole new girl approach for her since she's not the girly-girl in a family of them.
The Happy gay day was more to disarm the haters while thumbing their noses at the too. Plus a show of soldarity when coming out can make a HUGE difference in the life and survival of a gay teen.
So glad you're enjoying this and there might be a few dates in the group going on as the teen dynamic is at play even here:)

*Polishes his sword*
All-out conflict is coming. I intend to be ready.

Great Chapter
I love the way you string the story along adding a little to the actions from each person's point of view. It is working really well.
Pardon my ignorance but what is OMF? I know OMG. Is OMF just a little less forceful than OMG. It comes sooner in the alphabet.
Much Love,

Thanks Valerie R:)
OMF if "Oh My F--k" it's a little different but still used. Hey I have a Valerie in my Valentines story y'know:)
Much Love Back.

High School
School really was a wretched hive of scum and villainy. Kids all say they want to be different...aaaaaas long as they're different like everyone else. Kids who are truly different are singled out and tormented. I'm almost certain it was school that formed my life long misanthropy.
Definitely Heather:)
High school was a PTSD inducing place for a lot of people. It can be good sometimes but a whole lot of the time it's a meatgrinder.
Especially if you're different.

Unfortunately the teacher is right
That the other student's privacy rights were being violated by cellphone recording.
I know using cellphones as a deterrent is an important part of the story, but you set this in Illinois, which has a "two-party consent" law for wiretapping. That means that it is technically a crime to use an "eavesdropping device" to overhear or record a phone call or conversation without the consent of all parties to the conversation.
Illinois law defines an "eavesdropping device" as "any device capable of being used to hear or record oral conversation or intercept, retain, or transcribe electronic communication whether such conversation or electronic communication is conducted in person, by telephone, or by any other means."
Personally I think the law is outdated as it was written for wiretapping, but as written it also applies to using a cellphone to record conversations. It's a felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison per offense, so by filming a group if they all pressed charges the penalties would stack up fast.
The law is under attack by legislature and in the courts, but it is still on the books and being enforced, especially when used to record cops who had rather not be recorded:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNyYB_D2rV0
That's true Tracy and what's worse.
The law on cameras for use by a school in Illinois was upheld as an invasion of privacy by of all groups the ACLU. Now you're also right that this is being fought in the courts with the phones and the in school video cameras.
Now with the kids using their phones openly like that does leave them open to being charged it also provides witnessed proof in court that a capable lawyer could keep from getting tossed out because of that law since it would break the stalemate of what the kids saw from the faculty member that was clearly in the wrong.
Plus even if it went to court and they found in favor of the school it would be huge negative press and something like that wouldn't stay out of the public eye one way or another.
But Nick and his webpage might be in trouble if they go along in that vein of looking to prosecute someone. Hopefully his tracks have been covered enough right?
It's going to be a lot of complex issues going on with the story and great fun to write.

Gender disphoria hurts.
Ain't it the truth! And not being able to express it in any way hurts even more. Not being able to express it for years rots the roots and withers the leaves of the soul...
Jessie has some important lifesaving work to do at this school. His mission, which he has obviously accepted, is to make it safe for each student to be free to be themselves: He must also live through it!
Thanks for another great chapter,
Ole
We are each exactly as God made us. God does not make mistakes!
Gender rights are the new civil rights!
GID is just one of the things most people deal in silence with.
Though they don't come out there's always some crew or some one that thinks they can get ahead by stepping on people that are already down.

Group help
Learning more about the kids is great.
What's better is them helping each other. Johnny and Honey helping Lindsey, everyone standing up for Kenyon, and now they're looking out for Yasmine.
But the morons in the cafeteria lend credence to something terrible brewing. And as a side note: The zealots they are offended being in school with "those" freaks. Um...isn't this like the pot calling the kettle black? Don't others have the right to be offended by all the haters actions?
Others have feelings too.
