The last thing I expected to see on my first day at Heron River High was FA
LA LA LA FUCK THIS SCHOOL spelled atop the snow in festive holiday
lights.
Crowds of my new classmates gathered around the flickering green and
red profanity. Three teachers gesticulated at the students to keep walking,
but no one paid attention. Instead, the kids lingered, taking pictures with
their phones.
When Mom and Dad asked during our weekly burger night what my
new school was like, this would not be mentioned.
As I passed by, I pulled the hood of my puffer jacket down lower over
my forehead, just in case someone felt like the new kid was more
interesting than a flashing f-word. Once inside the building, I quickly found
the main office.
My heart rate picked up. Game time.
I gripped my backpack straps tighter and kept up my turtle
impersonation until the office doors shut behind me. The administrative
assistant, who somehow didn’t appear a day over twenty, was bundled in a
festive argyle cardigan. He pressed a phone between his ear and shoulder as
he typed on a laptop, sweat beading above his brow. On the countertop, a
nameplate had Sonny written in cursive.
“Fa la la la what, now?” he murmured. Sonny was in a bad mood.
My shoulders shrank into my narrow frame. I tried to snap them back
into a loud and proud position. A masculine, broad, very much boy position.
Everything would go fine today. I’d been transitioning for years. I
passed.
Sonny, the admin assistant, muttered something along the lines of I’ll
get back to this later and hung up the phone. He gave me a fake smile.
“Welcome back from winter break.”
As I stepped up to the counter, students passed by the fancy domed
window framing the downtown streets of Ann Arbor, Michigan. I’d heard
rumors that Heron River High was disgustingly nicer than Pinewood High,
and the admin office alone proved that. Its sparkly white walls and chrome
furniture were ten times better than Pinewood’s brick hallways lined with
rusty lockers. Whoever wrote the twinkling profanity by the front doors
seemed misguided.
“I’m actually a new junior here,” I said. “I transferred from Pinewood.
My name’s Noah. Noah Byrd.”
“Anything I can help you with? Class schedule good to go?”
“Yeah. The vice principal emailed it to me last week. But I was
wondering if I could get more information on how to join the boys’ sports
teams?”
“Which team?” Sonny asked.
It didn’t matter which one. All that mattered was joining something
ASAP. By the end of the semester, I had to show everyone who I was. I
wasn’t about to let my classmates draw their own conclusions about me
again, and a boys’ sports team emblem pinned to my chest would establish
who I was from the start. The less time they had to develop their own ideas,
the better.
I considered which sport would destroy my scrawny body the least. A
non-contact sport. “Tennis?”
He gave me a once-over. “I can email you a list of our sports, if you’d
like. That would include more information on the tennis team.
