I looked up as Steph came inside with Britt who was smiling wide as they sat by me.

I jumped up thrilled and started dancing throwing my arms around Steph's neck she stepped back laughing a bit shocked. Britt grinned rubbing my back.

Will call Carly after we get you settled into your new room how does that sound?

Awesome when can I go?

How about now?

Lets go! No arguments from me

Well that's a first

Do I have a private room?

No in this unit we have two beds in every room you'll love your roommate though she's a gem..

My mind flashed back to L'G I wondered where he was and how he was doing? It had been too long since I saw him.

I started to feel nervous as we walked this hall was painted like clouds with a rainbow at the end it.

Seemed peaceful I saw some rooms were full of life kids sitting on beds flipping through magazines or books some had music blasting some were talking or dancing some playing games. Some were quiet and kept to themselves but every room the door was open.

We stopped at room 403 going inside I saw it had two beds at the opposite ends of the wall two dressers

a bathroom. It was simple but had what was needed, a girl about my age lay on one of the beds Lady Gaga was blasting from the speakers. She looked up as we came inside smiling she stood up and came over.

Hey girlfriend I was wondering when you would calm yourself down and come join us down here in fabulous land...

I looked around which made everyone laugh

Who you talking to son?

You pretty girl you

She came over her hips swaying who the heck was she talking to? Was she crazy or something? She was acting like I had known her forever.

Without warning she tossed my hair running her hands through it ..I was starting to get irradiated now no one touches me without asking expect Carly.

Keala this is Sam

Sam this is..

She interrupted Steph holding out her hand to greet me before I could shake it she grabbed me and pulled me into a hug.

I don't do handshakes I do love which is hugs

Keala Queen McKeena don't you forget it

I was speechless as Steph was laughing.

I see Keala will take care of you Sam if you have any questions you know where my office is Keala Sam wants to make a call help her settle in and tell her the house rules.

Yes Ma'Am Keala sure will do

Sit down precious

We must have a little chat first

My first thought was oh god get me out of here as she pulled me down.

An hour later we were laughing like crazy she had a real knack for putting people at ease.

I learned a lot in a short time she was from New Orleans La she is the 4th of 8 kids 3 older brothers two younger sisters and two younger brothers.

The day she was born N.O was having one of the worst tropical storms it had seen well until Katrina hit that was. Keala's mom was on duty she was 7 months pregnant and still working the streets as a chief officer of the N.O P.D ...she was chasing a criminal when she doubled over in pain and went into labor she called for backup but the station was swamped with 911 calls so she had to depend on the prostitutes and drag Queens who were working that night.

Keala was delivered by the Queen of New Orleans Drag Lula Shangela who named Keala after the team effort it took to have her come into this world.

Efrain Symbol McKenna was born on Dec 25th 1992 yes Keala was born a boy...

Growing up with a mom who worked all the time a dad who split when he was born and more siblings then he could keep track of he turned to Lula as his mentor. He took to the streets where he learned to be tough how to think on his feet . In school he was picked on for being too girly he never liked sports and hated getting dirty but with three older brothers who beat him up for being too feminine and no support from his parents he took to joining a gang to get tough he didn't like feeling different even though he knew he was he liked dolls and dancing he liked singing he didn't like guns or spitting.

In the gang he started working out getting fit he got a rep for being tough no one picked on him. Yet he couldn't do what he was suppose to he couldn't hurt someone he couldn't shot someone so he was beat up and almost shot . They threw him out and tried to kill him but he was too fast and escaped.

So he went back to school and tried to fit in he liked girls even had sex with a few but he never felt comfortable in his won body. From a early age he knew he liked dressing in girls clothes instead of guys he tried on his mom's and sisters clothes and makeup.

He liked girl groups like the Spice Girls instead of boy bands his sisters mocked him his brothers made fun of him his mom told him to man up. He felt hopeless and unloved till he met this girl named Roni in 6th grade year. She did the makeup for the school plays and she taught him how to apply it pretty soon he had a knack for it and joined her backstage. Which is where he really got a chance to shine learning the moves of dances and the lyrics to songs he was a natural.

In Jr. high he tried out for the plays and landed the staring role which is where he met a boy named Andre "Dru" Parks who was openly gay. Dru opened him up to a new world he knew he was gay from a early age and his family was accepting his mom was a plastic surgeon who did gender identity changes. Through her Keala learned what it meant to be Transgender.

He did research upon research and talked to other teens and adults who had the surgery done. He saved money by working at a local McDonalds and by doing shows on the street with Shangela.

By Freshman year he had enough saved to start the change which is a long period of things.

By then the bullying was so intense he hated going to school he changed schools but it didn't stop they

Started at his new school kids from his old school found him online and stalked him on the streets.

He was depressed and tried to kill himself twice his mom kicked him out and sent him out here to live with his Aunt. Even at the new school out here he was bullied and taunted and teased he was assaulted and no one helped him they just laughed.

His aunt sent Keala here she's been here 6 months.

"Sam!

Carly screamed as soon as she saw me arms open she attacked me holding me so tightly I felt every heart beat every salty breathy every hot tear she was bawling as her chest shock and heaved.

Thank god! It's been way too long I missed you god I was so worried!

Are you okay?

She examined my face very carefully tears flowing freely she didn't want to let me go which was fine by me. I enjoyed being in her arms her body pressed against mine so tight I felt every movement. Every movement which turned me on so bad I wanted to scream. She smelled so amazing I wanted to lick her up and never stop.

Cupcake settle down please I'm fine I hate seeing you so stressed out

I'm sorry Sam I just...when I think about how I almost lost you ..

Shh relax

I can't I almost lost you forever!

You didn't cupcake I'm here always I'm sorry

I ran my hands over her beautiful face kissing it

Talk to me Carl's what's going on? How are you? Did you tell anyone?

She fooled with her hands nervously she didn't want to look at me I grasped her hands which were white from self clenching she was worrying me more and more with every second.

Carly baby please talk to someone I can't stand seeing you in pain it sucks holding it inside you can't let what happened to me happen to you..

Her silence worried me had she told someone? Had she told Spencer had he reacted badly? He loved Carly he would never kick her out would he? Her body continued to be racked in sobs which got bigger

Heavier rubbing her back and cradling her I tried to calm her down ..

Carl's what did he say?

H...e...s..a...i..d

I gave her some water helping to cradle her head in my hands as she drank rubbing her back as she laid her head back down in my lap I could feel how sweaty she was. I let some water trail down her running my hand over her flat stomach she was too thin...then her arms she shivered so I pulled her close.

Carl's your worrying me please talk to me

I know coming out is hard but you can handle it I'm by your side

I know but you might not be when you find out what I did

My fists balled up as I heard the pain and anger worry and fear in her voice I hated for Carly to hurt.

Swallowing I smiled at her as she crawled up to straddle herself in front of me..

Can you just hold me before I tell you please?

Anything for my cupcake she lowered herself on top of me automatically my hands ran up her shirt making her moan as I ran them over her soft warm breasts. I felt her relax as she laid closer to me her eyes were so innocent and trusting her body so warm as she pressed fully against me. I gasped as she kissed me fully my whole body was shocked as her warm soft lips pressed against my cracked ones my body heated up as her hands ran the length o my stomach to my thighs to heaven...I couldn't help the moan that escaped as I gasped it was like being shocked by a electric currency.

Sam!

We shot up as Steph came inside with Spencer and Gibby and Freddie...

I started to panic as Carly shot up flushed and sweating shirt undone...

What would they say? They wouldn't kick her out would they?

Suddenly Keala came in singing …

My mama told me when I was young
We are all born superstars …

For whatever reason it eased the tension in the room and made us all laugh.
