This is more plot based and a bit short, the next one will be longer

Hope you enjoy

Read and relax

Ann moved to the gym lockers, as it was still early and she was there so early so no one else was there, so no one could make fun of her. The girls, aside from Haruta, were really mean to her. When the gym class was over, she waited in the gym for a bit, before she went to the locker, when no one was there, if someone was, it was Haruta, who was waiting for her. Haruta was really nice and she really stood up for her. She knew many were whispering about her still, but it had calmed down a bit, but she still did get some mean messages now and then, being called names, and people didn't want to be on her team, calling her 'the it', which she had gotten used to. It wasn't that bad compared to what she had been called earlier. The teachers had noticed and had been really supportive of it. If she was called something during class, the teachers took it seriously. Some more than others though, but it helped to know they took it seriously.

She still felt more comfortable here than she did at her old school. And to also know Sabo and Luffy were really happy with their schools too, same with Garp and his work, made her feel better. Garp had even said once he was glad they had moved as he even had gotten a handy raise even, and he loved his co-workers. Maybe this move had been the best for them all? It had been a bit of a hard start, with Garp and how everyone had found out she was a he previously, but it had calmed down enough so she felt better. She knew there always would be people who were against this and calling her names. She did hope to have surgery one day and be a full female one day and then she didn't need to hide herself as she did now, as she did have her genitals to a male still. She really didn't like that. But it would hopefully change.

When she had changed out from her gym clothes and taken a quick shower, before she redressed. She had a lot of cute clothes she liked, as Garp now had more money to buy things because of the raise. She didn't know how high it was, but Garp had called it a handsome raise. She then went to the next class, which was History and with Haruta, which she loved. Haruta was currently her best friend. A few had called them out for being lovers, that she pretended to be a she so she could sleep over at Haruta's, but they both just put a deaf ear to it.

She also had a hair appointment tomorrow, to re-place her extensions, as her hair grew and they fell a bit down. She was looking forward to it, she liked to get her hair done. Right now, since her extensions were further down than they should be, it was a hassle to comb. When the next day came, she was picked up at school by Garp to go to her hair appointment, and the hairdresser was really kind. When she was done, the hairdresser even offered to teach her some hair styles, which she wanted to, so she could do something different to her hair now and then, to look better and feel better. She learned two updos, and some styles that worked well with extensions. It was really nice. Her hair had also grown a lot which was really nice.

When she was done, she and Garp went to a mall to get something to eat and pick up dinner from a restaurant and took it home and they got home at the same time as Luffy and Sabo, as her school day had been short today since a teacher was on leave. When the next day came, which was Friday, she woke up early to fix her hair, using one of the styles she had been taught by the hairdresser. When she then got to school, she got some compliments on it, which made her feel pretty. A few did throw out comments like 'you look gay', 'you're just a corssdresser', and such, but it was okay. They weren't so bad, she could handle comments. No one had really been up in her face about this, at least not yet. And she wasn't afraid to throw a punch, she had been in her share of fights in her old school.

She didn't want to wind up in a fight, as she could get into trouble, but she wasn't afraid of it. And, she had Haruta on her team, which was amazing as she had already fought for her. She probably had Thatch as well, which was really nice. She had also got to know there was another field trip in 4 weeks, which would be nice as they could venture away from the group and just have fun. And hopefully, she wouldn't crack her head open this time and wind up in the hospital again, she didn't want that and would be sure to be more careful this time.

When there was recess, the long one, Ann blinked when she opened her locker and a note fell out. She frowned as she took it up and looked at it. It was a paper folded in two, and when she unfolded it and read it, she had to blink. It said: I'm impressed with you, how you manage to go on and your amazing will. I admire you a lot and hope I can get to know you well.

That was a cute note. It didn't say who it was from though. She shrugged and folded it again and put it in her pocket. She then got the books she needed, before she went to class, to History and sat down next to Haruta. They were doing a group thing and she was in a group with Haruta. As they were going through the stuff, she remembered the note and Haruta might know who it was from. "Hey, I found this in my locker. Do you recognize the handwriting?" Haruta blinked and read the note, which had her give a small gasp. "You got a secret admirer!?" Ann shrugged. "Probably just a prank." Haruta nodded. "Well, maybe. But what if it isn't?" Ann shrugged. "I will take it as it comes." She would. It was a bit nice though and she hoped it wasn't a prank. Maybe she had another person on her team?

The next week went by normally, beside the fact she found a new note each day. If this was a prank, it was a well made one, and she was starting to doubt it, as she was sure it would have asked her to go somewhere or something. And the notes were… cute and nice. They were really nice and had words of encouragement. Made her feel better. She really wondered who it was.

Thatch looked around in class and didn't see Ann yet, which was weird. She was always out early for class. So he looked at Haruta. "Have you seen Ann?" Haruta blinked, before she gave a hum. "She probably got a new note and is reading it or seeing if she can find out who gave it to her." He frowned. "Note?" Haruta nodded. "Oh yeah! She has a secret admirer! She's gotten these cute notes in her locker." He blinked. "Oh… She doesn't know who?" Haruta shook her head. "No, she doesn't." That made him frown a bit. Who would send her notes? He was about to ask more when Ann came in and Haruta asked if she got another note, and Ann nodded and handed a note to Haruta, which had her I've a "Oh. How cute. Wonder who it is." Thatch did too. He didn't want Ann to get a boyfriend or girlfriend, and he didn't know why.

When class was over, they had recess, the long one, and he walked over to sit at the table Ann was at with Haruta in the cafeteria. "Hey! How are you doing, Ann?" Ann hummed and smiled. "Fine. What about you?" He had hoped for more than that. "Okay. I heard you got some notes?" Ann blinked, before she looked at Haruta. "You told him!" Haruta nodded. "Yes I did. Shouldn't I have?" Ann hummed. "I don't know. It is just Thatch, but don't tell everyone." Haruta nodded. "I won't." Thatch didn't know why, but he felt a bit… jealous. Maybe he should drop a note to Ann? No, she would recognize the typing, he was sure of it. Why did this make him feel like this? He needed a plan.
