"Free hour." He yawned a little.
"Free hour." He yawned a little.
'Mind if I stay with you? I don't feel like going to my lesson.' she bit her lower lip in anticipation.
"Sure. I'm here almost everyday all day so…"
She cocked her head slightly in confusion. 'What do you do to keep busy when you're not in class? Do you not get bored being by yourself?'
"I love the wind…Also making out the shapes of clouds…" He breathed softly.
'The clouds?' She turned to look at the sky, trying to see shapes. Unfortunately all she saw were the usual puffy outlines. 'I don't see any particular shapes, but they are pretty all the same…' she paused before looking back at Alexander. 'How long have you known you are a boy?'
"This will the third year." He said laughing.
'I see…' She turned back to the sky, taking a deep breath, feeling the breeze mess her hair around. 'Is your family-' she forgot the sign for 'accepting' and felt a little embarrassed with her hands just hovering. 'Does your family agree?' she finally managed, internally screaming, hoping she hadn't made a fool of herself.
He signed Accepting. "Yeah. My mom is…My dad not so much."
'It's horrible to have two not accepting parents so I'm glad you have your mum to support you.' She let her guard down, her smile fading.
"I guess…" he laid down his shirt flying up a little. "My dad is fine with it but he always uses my dead name…Sorry, I must be making you feel weird…"
'Why would you be making me feel weird?' She giggled, amused by the idea of being weirded out with something she could relate to.
"Just asking." He sighed looking over at her better.
She noticed Alexander looking at her and suddenly felt even more shy, feeling her face burn up. 'W-what?' she slowly signed. 'Is there something on me or something?'
"Not at all." He laughed a little. "You perfectly fine to me."
She averted her gaze to the ground, bashful. Ever since starting her transition as a female, no one had ever said she was 'perfectly fine'. She was about to sign something when her phone started buzzing. Her mother. She began to panic, if she didn't answer then her mum would wonder what was going on, but if she did answer then she wouldn't be able to talk properly. The phone continued buzzing but all she did was stare at the lit up screen in silence.
"Might wanna answer that." He said laughing.
She shook her head, already knowing what her mum would say if she answered. 'I don't want to talk right now, she doesn't like it when I don't talk that's why she always calls me rater than texting me.'
"But…Never mind." He looked up at the clouds. "Are your's supportive?"
'Supportive? What do you mean?' She tried to play it off like she didn't know what he was talking about, but in her mind she was asking Is it obvious that I was born a male?
"Same question you asked me. It's not that hard to figure out."
She mentally kicked herself for letting her guard down earlier on. 'And here I was thinking that I could get away undetected. In answer to your question, no. The only thing they have done right, in my eyes, is allow me to dress the way I want and have my room the way I want. They still use my given name, they still expect me to be masculine… But I'm too tired to argue with them now.'
"Maybe I can help somehow?" He pulled his shirt down so it didn't fly up too high.
'How?' She was genuinely curious as to how Alexander could help. More importantly, why was she trusting a guy she only just met? Because they had similar situations? Whatever the reason was, she found comfort in knowing that Alexander was actually willing to speak to her.
"I don't know but I can try." He just wanted to have a friend. And no one should be treated the way she was treated so he wanted to find a way.
