You fall into bed groaning from back pain, last time you go braless. “Rough day?” Maddie says looking up from her lapttop.
“This is all too much Maddie!”
“You don’t have a choice, they find out you're a guy, you’ll be kicked out and charged with fraud.”
“It’s just so much so fast!”
“So you’re saying you have no problem being a girl, just that it’s going too fast? I knew it!”
“What?! N-“
“You don’t need to lie anymore Deva. I’ve known you my own life. I’ve always felt a special bond with you. I knew you were hiding something from me”
“THAT I LOVE YOU” you scream in your head. “Maddie, that’s not-“
“Deva, come on you were the only guy I know that didn’t always try to look down my shirt, and daddy only allowed you at the house! Oh my god do you think he knew?Daddy’s always been a judge of character. He’s basically been your daddy for years now. Is this makes sense, you didn’t look because it would make you jealous of my boobs and make you sad!”
“No Maddie! None of this makes sense. I’m just confused with everything that I can’t talk straight!”
“Confused? As in who or what you are?
“I’m not gay, Maddie!”
“Of course not, a lesbian wouldn’t have challenged me to a dick sucking race!” She says giggling
“THATS TWICE THAT I MISTAKEN SAID IM A STRAIGHT GIRL” the voice in your head yells “No! That’s n-“
“Deva, I love you, I always have and always will. You don’t have to hide from me. I know this isn’t what you planned, but I think in the end this is who you are”
“….. Maddie….”
“This is what college is about, right? Finding ourselves? Devon always felt a little sad.”
“I was sad because of all the bullying! You know what they did to me! I was alway smaller than everyone else… smaller than some girls… weaker… less manly. I was an easy target”
“Less manly? So you did feel like you weren’t a man”
You start tearing up, is this how your best friend really sees you? Not a man?
“Deva, this means we can tell Victoria the truth!”
“What are you talking about?”
“Deva, sweetie this is who you are. I haven’t called you Devon since this whole thing started, and you’ve been unfazed. Come on, we’re to going to talk to Victoria right now.”
