It was Grell's second day of school. She had tied her hair back into a messy ponytail and had slipped into another skirt, this one wasn't pleated but wrinkled gauze. She woke up late and had to skip breakfast to avoid being late, leaving her low on energy and unprepared for gym later that day.
As she walked to her home room class, a small blonde boy with a red hair clip approached her. He was shorter than Grell and she thought he was a girl for a few seconds but soon realized he wasn't.
"The principal wants to see you, Mr. Sutcliff." He sounded like a girl too.
"Okay...?" Grell wandered around the school until she found the principal's office. She stood outside the door for a few seconds, inspecting the plaque on the door. 'Principal Faustus'. she sighed and walked in. "You wanted to see me, sir?"
"Ah yes, Mr. Sutcliff, I called you in here to discuss the school dress code with you."
"What? Why? My skirt isn't too short, I checked! And I'd prefer it if you called me Ms. Sutcliff"
"I'm sorry but your birth certificate says you are male , therefore I shall call you Mister."
Grell sighed. "Okay."
"Now about your clothes... You are not allowed to wear a skirt. Only the girls are allowed that."
Her eyes widened. "WHAT!? But i read the school dress code and it said nothing about males not being allowed to wear a skirt!"
"It is just common knowledge. Men wear pants and women wear skirts."
Grell gaped at her sexist-seeming principal. "I'm done here." She stood and turned towards the door.
"Call home and ask them to bring you a change of clothes"
"No one is home."
"Put these shorts on. They're extra gym uniforms. I expect you to return those tomorrow, washed" He pulled out a pair of gym shorts from a cabinet, handing them to Grell
Grell gritted her teeth and went to the bathroom to change. She sat in a stall and cried until the bell rang. She wiped her eyes, grabbed her bag, and walked out and to her next class. She had a plan to get rid of the rule preventing her from dressing like a girl. She got to class late and had to sit in the only empty seat, next to William.
