Park in your usual spot.

Step out of the car.

Slam the door shut.

You were too loud.

They’re going to notice that.

 

Walk into the school.

Stop by your locker.

Walk to your home room.

You were too visible.

They’re going to notice that.

 

Sit down at the desk.

Listen to the insults fly.

Tense up when you hear the word tranny.

You were too obvious.

They’re going to notice that.

 

Don’t dare to correct the teacher when they use your birth name.

Don’t dare to go into the boys’ bathroom.

Don’t dare to wear the male uniform to school.

You would be to different.

They would notice that.
