-The Birth of Adam-
Gracie always knew she was different. She always wanted to play in the dirt and mud with her step brother drew. She HATED dresses and girls' underwear. Instead of dolls and babies for her birthday she wanted G-I Joes and trucks. She dressed in jeans and skate shoes and baggie tees. She even begged her mom to cut her hair so it was the length of the boys in her class.
Yes, Gracie always felt different but never really could put a finger on it. When she was 11 her mom got her a computer for her birthday. Gracie loved all the cool video games she could play and was very drawn into the virtual world. But after her family went to bed she would go onto a website that offered help for young people who felt "different". She would type in how she felt and find others who felt the same. The friends she met online soon informed her that she was what was called Transgendered.
Gracie was confused. Well, scared was more like it. She knew she was different. She always felt that she had the wrong "parts" and never went all gaga over makeup and pretty clothes like the other girls. But did she really want to be a boy? Gracie stayed up all night looking at transgendered information on the internet and the more she read the more sure she became. She wanted this. She wanted to be a boy. So before she left for school Gracie grabbed a notebook that was empty of writing and hid it in her backpack. The whole 1st period was spent writing down boy names in the noatbook trying to think of what would be perfect.
All day she thought of names of what she wanted to go by. She knew Gracie was not right. She wanted something that screamed boy. Nathan, Jacob, Jackson, they were all wrong. Then when she was on her way to lunch she heard someone call "Hey, Adam over here." It was perfect! Her new name would be Adam.
When she got back to class after lunch the teacher handed out a math worksheet. Adam started writing Gracie but erased it and put Adam Torres. He finished the assignment quickly and handed it in. The teacher looked it over and stopped Adam as he was on his way to his seat.
"Gracie, may I have a word?" The older teacher asked. "Outside?" The other kid's ears perked up and the ooooo's quickly followed. "Gracie, why does this paper say Adam on the top?"
"I go by Adam now Ms. Allic." Stated Adam calmly. The teacher gave him a strange look.
"But Adam is a boy's name." Says Ms. Allic. "And you are a girl."
" I just want to go by Adam now." He urges. Before the teacher could get another word in the bell rang and Adam raced in the room to get his backpack so he wouldn't be late for the bus.
