Fresh Start
Chapter 1: It could happen
Finally. Finally I'm free from that horrible place. Free from all the looks and the name calling. The place I am speaking of is Elmtree High School. The worst place in the world to be a teenager, especially with no friends and when you are different from everyone around you. My names Santana Lopez and I'm just a regular teenage girl in most ways apart from one, which is that I was born with a penis. I don't want to blow my own trumpet but it's not small in the slightest. Still everyone at Elmtree thought I was a freak when one of the cheerleaders accidentally caught me whilst I was getting changed for P.E. From that moment on, every day at that school was a living hell. I was constantly teased and slushied every day. Luckily I soon learnt to keep extra clothes in my locker at all times.
But no more of that, I'm finally free of that place. You see my parents have had a new job offer. They are both doctors and have been offered this new job with more money. Let me get this straight, I'm not haha. Anyways… my parents are poor, we have a nice house but this new job is in a better location in LA, and I will move anywhere that isn't this small minded town of Ohio.
We leave tomorrow. So I am currently packing up all of my stuff. The majority of the packing is already done and I'm just packing up the final few things left in my room. I stretch out the ache that I'm feeling in my lower back from sleeping on the air bed. I cannot wait to finally be able to sleep back on my nice comfy bed again. We decided to take the beds over to the new house early to save time on moving day which means there is one less thing for us to worry about. My parents are downstairs sorting the boxes out and making sure they don't forget anything.
They are so hardworking and I hope one day to find that special girl to have that connection with like they do with each other. They are so supportive and help me with anything that might be worrying me. I couldn't ask for better parents. Just when I'm smiling at the thought of starting at my school in couple of days' time, wondering if I'll meet any new people and make some new friends, I hear a knock at the door.
"Come in?" I say. The door handle slow goes down and I see my father, Emilio Lopez open the door. "Hi Papi, what's up?" I question as he stands in the doorway.
"Nothing serious dear, I just came up to tell you dinner is on the table and then after I want you to get showered and get into bed as we have a busy day tomorrow" He said sweetly.
"Okay Papi, I'll do come down now and I was going to do that. I'm already starting to fall asleep anyways" I said as a little chuckle came out and my Papi chuckled along with me as we both headed out the door and I followed him downstairs for dinner.
After dinner, I thanked both my parents for the food and made my way upstairs. It was so delicious as always. I told them I'll cook dinner tomorrow in the new house to make up for it and they both agreed. I went into my room and grabbed all the stuff I needed for my shower. I love showers, and I love singing in the shower. I enjoy singing most of the time but in the shower it's like all my cares go away for the time I am in there. I go into the bathroom and remove all my clothes, along with my compression shorts which I don't mind wearing as it makes my penis a little more discrete when I wear my tight skinny jeans. It always feels good to take them off. I turn on the shower and climb in, shivering slight when the cold water which has not yet warmed up, hits the top of my head and slowly falls down my back. Sighing in relief when it starts to warm up, I close my eyes and hum slightly to the first song that comes into my head.
After around 30 minutes, I turn the water off and slowly step out onto the bath matt. Grabbing my towel and wrapping it around my body. I take the short walk back into my room and dry myself off. Another thing I'm grateful for at the new house is that I get my own on-suite bathroom. So no more running across the landing hoping my parents don't see me when I get out the shower and realise I forgot my towel.
I got to my bedside table and grab my marvel pyjamas, which I could not resist buying when I saw them. I love anything marvel and anything with superheroes on it. I am huge GEEK, when it comes to that. I have a huge comic book collection which grows every Christmas when my family buy me new comics to add to my collection. Once I'm fully dressed into my pj's I go to the landing and shout goodnight to my parents. Going back into my room, I climb into bed and turn off the bedside lamp, filling the room with darkness. I lay my head down on the pillow, my eyes closing shortly after and as I drift off into a peaceful sleep, thinking about all the good things the new house and new school could bring. Smiling at the thought of maybe finding the one… hey it could happen to this loser, well I'm hoping it does.
