Based on next week's Waterloo Road where Carol forces Kacey to wear a skirt

Chapter 3 – My Family

Kacey's POV

I woke up on Monday to mum screaming and banging on my door, I was relived it was Monday as at least at school with the boys and Zoe I could be myself.

She walked in she was still fuming and not prepared for a fight I stayed lying in bed. BIG MISTAKE.

'GET UP'

She actually physically picked me up and dumped me on the floor

'Your uniform'

I laughed she had just handed me a skirt

'Get lost'

'You will wear it and be happy about it'

'I wouldn't be seen dead in it'

'Either you put it on or I will put on you'

I put on the thing and laughed there was no way I was leaving the house looking like a freak, but I underestimated how forceful she could be.

I also noticed my eye, I had a black eye from when she had punched me but nothing would get make-up on this face.

I walked downstairs and Dynasty started laughing 'Wat the hell are you wearing?'

I looked her up and down she was wearing these see through zebra print tight things

'Could ask you the same'

'Wat happened to your face'

I shrugged

Mum told me to get in the car and I did without hassle but would run away once at school

'Mum she won't get out'

Mum ducked down and started to pull on my arm, I was fighting but she was strong and I couldn't win so she got me out the car.

Walking into school I saw Liberty whispering to Jack and I walked in before anyone said anything

They left me in the corridor and I started to cry until Zoe found me

'Kacey, wat the fuck'

'Don't'

She took me to the toilets and said she preferred the old me, as did I but I had to go to class couldn't get in anymore trouble.

'Wat happened to your eye?'

'My mum happened'

'She isn't allowed to hit you'

'Try telling her that'

I made my way to the PRU classroom and walked in and everyone started to laugh at me and I ended up at a table by myself, after the lesson from hell it was over but Miss Boston wanted to talk to me.

'Kacey, I couldn't help noticing your eye'

I just carried on looking at the floor but she carried on speaking

'I know I'm not as touchy feely as the other teachers but I do care, you can talk to me'

I started to cry and everything came spilling out

'My mum made me dress like this as she can't accept I'm a boy, and I HATE it'

'She hit me and gave me an black eye and ran over my football and MY HEADPHONES'

'Kacey she isn't allowed to hit you'

I shrugged again and she put a reassuring arm around me she was talking to me about being special and things.

'Do you want me to go get Mr Clarkson?'

I nodded he was the only one that understood, she left and came back 10 minutes later with him.

'Kacey wat happened'

He gently lifted my head to look at my black eye

'Best get you to the nurse'

He put his arm around me as I went and went to lost property

'Don't tell your family' he whispered

He handed me a pair of trousers and carried on taking me to the nurse

She put this ointment on my eye which really burned but said it would take down the swelling.

After I had got secretly changed Mr Clarkson said I could stay another night at his

'I will be haven't words with that mum of yours as well'

'Good luck you will need it'

He drove me home in the middle of the day as he said it would be better to settle me and also rest my eye which was very painful, he then offered to put the ointment on and I immediately thought of my dad's rough hands that always seemed to hurt you.

but He was very gentle and every time I winched he said sorry, I wish my dad was more like him.

'Thanks, sir'

'When you're here its Tom alright'

I nodded hoping I would be here a lot more
