Hello everyone! And welcome to chapter 36! As always thank you for the support your giving this story and hope you enjoy :)
Jamie's Pov- That was the most embarrassing thing that could have ever happened to me. The day was going pretty damn good too till that moment. When people started shouting at me. Calling me all sorts of inappropriate words I just up and left. Crying my eyes out. I didn't know where I was going but I somehow ended up outside the back entrance.
I don't know how long I sat there crying. But eventually I heard my mom calling out to me. "Jamie! Oh thank god I found you." She knelt down in front of me but I couldn't look her in the eye. She pulled me into her arms and held me as I sobbed. "Shh. It's ok. I'm here."
I didn't respond. There was nothing to say. Eventually I stopped crying and she helped me up. She kept her arm around my shoulder's as we headed for the parking lot. "It's over." I finally managed to say. And it was true. The normal life I have been living so far is over. Unless we move again but I do NOT want to do that.
"Don't talk like that. It's not over you hear me?" She replied sternly. "We'll get through this we always do." We finally stopped. "And this time we're not alone."
I look ed up to see what she meant. Zoey Blair and their parents were standing next to our car waiting for us. As soon as my girlfriends saw me they rushed over and pulled me into a group a hug. "We're so sorry this happened Jamie. But no matter what we still love you and we'll get through this together." Zoey said as she nuzzled into my shoulder.
"Don't le...Let other people br...Bring you down. Your to st...Strong for that."Blair said after kissing my cheek.
I could feel the tear's coming back as I held my two amazing sweet girlfriends. "I love you both."
When we broke away Max walked over with my clothes. "We picked these up for you."
I smiled and too them. "Thanks."
"Mom can I spend the night at Jamie's?" Zoey asked.
"Me t..Too?" Blair asked her parents.
"Thank's I really appreciate it but...I kind of just want t be alone for the rest of the weekend." I just needed time to process all this.
The both looked disappointed. "Ok. We understand. We'll see you monday ok?" She leaned up and gave me a small kiss. "Get some rest."
"I will mom." I lightly teased.
She just rolled her eyes and Blair gave me her little kiss. "Call if y...You need anything. Ok?"
I nodded. "I will. I promise."
As I walked to the car I felt Chloe pat my shoulder. "Don't take any crap from any alright? We all got your back."
I smiled a bit. "Thank's Chloe."
After that I got into the car. After my mom said her goodbye's to everyone she hopped into the driver's seat and we headed home. After about five minutes of silence my mom finally spoke. "You ok?"
I shook my head. "No...But I will be."
I spent all sunday at home. I just binged watched anime all day and thought of scenarios of what people will say when I returned to school.
Right now it was monday and I was sitting in Zoey's car with Zoey and Blair in the schools parking lot. "You know if you want to call in for a few day's i'm sure the school would understand." Zoey suggested while holding my hand.
I took a deep breath before replying. "No. I'm fine. I'm not ashamed of myself. I am who I am. and no one is going to change that."
Zoey smiled and I could feel Blair's hands resting on my shoulder's for emotional support. "Ok. Well. Let's go."
We left the car and I held their hands as we headed for the entrance. I tried to remain as calm as possible but my body couldn't help but shake. I felt Blair and Zoey grip my hands a bit for reassurance. When we walked in and made our way down the hall to our locker's I could practically feel everyone's eyes on me as we walked by. But no one has said anything yet. "The stare's I was expecting. So far so good." When we got to our lockers though I saw a note taped to my locker.
*The contents inside belong to the Freak of Arcadia Bay.*
I growled and ripped the note off my locker and crumpled it up. "Asshole."
"Don't pay attention to anyone. They aren't worth it." Zoey said trying to calm me down. Blair nodded in agreement.
I sighed. "Yeah I know."
Then the school's intercom came on. "Jamie Carver. Please report to the principle's office."
"Now what!?" I almost yelled in frustration.
"I'm sure th..They just want to talk ab..About saturday night." Blair replied.
I grumbled and grabbed my bookbag. "I wouldn't be surprised if they expelled me for having a dick." I said angrily and walked away before they could say anything. "I'll apologize later but right now i'm just to frustrated."
When I made my way to the principle's office the secretary let me in and in the room was the principle. Mr. Grant and next to him my coach Miss. Riley. "Please sit Mr. Carver." Grant said motioning to a chair in front of his desk.
I growled. "It's Miss."
"Jamie calm down. Please sit." Miss Riley said in a soft tone.
I just glared at the principle and sat down. I did not like him. I heard he never take's his jobs seriously and it was true. I reported to him numerous incidents of Blair's bullying. He always said he would look into it but nothing ever happens.
He e leaned back in his chair casually. "Now. I'd like to discuss what happened saturdy night."
I just shrugged. "It was just an accident." I did not blame the girl for what she did. Not one bit. It was just a freak accident and nothing more.
"Not what I'm talking about." He replied. "I spoke with the school board yesterday and according to our rules you shouldn't even be in the girl's basket ball team."
I was starting to feel uneasy. "What do you mean by that?"
My coach gave me a sympathetic look. "Jamie. I don't want to do this. Trust me I really don't. But it's out of my hands...I'm going to have to let you go."
I could feel the tears threatening to burst. "What..But why!?"
"Because you are a boy. I will not have some pervert peeping in on our female population." He answered calmly.
Miss Riley stood up abruptly. "That's taking it to far. Jamie is not like that. She's a good kid."
"HE. Knew full well what he was doing. He's lucky I don't suspend him." He turned his attention back to me. By now I was crying. "From now on I want you to use the boy's facilities. That include's. Bathroom's, Changing room's, and after school activities. Understood?"
I just glared at him through my tears. I stood up without saying a word and slammed his door. "Fuck him. And fuck all those small minded pricks!" When I made it back to the hall way I was shocked by what waited for me. My entire team was out here sitting on the floor leaning against the wall on the opposite side of the room. When they saw me exit the room they stood up and walked over. "Wh...What are girls doing here? Your all late for class you know." I said trying to rub the tears away from my eyes.
The team's captain Beth ignored my question and said. "You weren't at the game winning party. It was kind of awkward to throw a party when the girl who scored the winning basket didn't show up."
I was now confused. "Wait..Your not angry with me?"
One of my other teammates Tara answered. "About what?"
"About...You know."
"That you have a cock?" Another teammate, Sarah replied.
I was probably blushing a deep red. "Yeah..."
Beth shrugged. "We don't care. Your Jamie to us. One of our best players. A friend. And we know your not a perv. You always use the stall's. You could have sat there and watched us get changed while pretending to take your time but you didn't."
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I was expecting at least a few of them to be angry or disgusted towards me but no. They were all here supporting me. I couldn't stop the smile that was forming on my lips. "You have no idea how much this mean's to me girls...But it doesn't matter. Coach was forced to kick me off the team."
Beth chuckled and dug into her pocket pulling out a folded envelope. "We kind of figured that would happen. So everyone here decided to start a petition to get you back on the team. And that your in fact a girl. Your two lovely ladies were the first one's to sign it after you stormed off."
I was so floored that I couldn't figure out what to say. "Wow I..I don't know what to say...Oh my god. I think I'm going to cry."
Beth stepped forward and hugged me. "Don't say anything. The team has your back."
I hugged her back. "Thank you." I can't believe I was so worried and paranoid over nothing. So many people here were so excepting. "Maybe everyone was right. Thing's are going to be fine after all."
And there we have it another chapter done. I might not be able to update tomorrow. I will be visiting family. But I will update Thursday. So until then have a nice day :)
