My mom wanted a sweet perfect girl. She did everything she could to make me be that girl. It was our twentieth beauty pageant. I was 10. We were winning left and right. No one was the wiser. Till he showed up. He was the brother of one of the other girls. He looked at me and said I was so beautiful. I was shocked, and no matter how much I tried my heart wouldn't stop racing. He was handsome. He had jet black, porcelain skin which rivaled my own, and blue eyes that would just hypnotize. He locked on to my copper eyes and gave me a kiss on the cheek that day. I swear that I couldn't tell whether blushing was from the embarrassing or humiliating moment. For you see my name is Dan and I'm a boy.

"Dan!," called (Y/n). "Hm?" I responded. (Y/n) was a childhood friend. She knew just about everything about me. Well at least everything but the pageants. She had (h/l/c) hair with (hair style). Bright (e/c) eyes, and (s/c) skin. She like to spend her time reading and leading the kendo club. "You said you would wait for me! We were gunna go to the book store," she said with a bit of a pout as she quickly put her stuff in her backpack.

"Sorry. I just have things to do," I said walking towards the classroom door. My personality isn't that great. People think I'm cool cuz I'm quiet. Honestly I'm really just shy. I just began to rollwith it. Not showing much emotion. Not talking to many people. It was absolutely perfect... Then it happened. I bumped into someone standing in the door way. Our eyes met and I froze. "Hi. My names Phil. I'm a new student and I was hoping this is Mr. (T/n) homeroom," he smiled. Without thinking I ran out of the room. "No it's him!! Why out of all the fucking schools in the world did he have to come to this one!!" I mentally screamed. I got outside of the school and stopped to catch my breath. "Dan wait!!!," (Y/n) yelled as she caught up. I turned to her. "What the hell just happened," snapped (Y/n) "Sorry I just had to go," I said quickly. "Was it the new kid," asked (Y/n). "No I," I mumbled. "Because it's ok it you like that girl," she said worried. "Hu???" I said completely confused.

"Don't play dumb. There was a girl behind Phil. She's a new student too," said (y/n). I thought about it. And I remembered she had long brown hair cut in an emo style, and brown eyes. "No. Trust me when I say it wasn't her," I sighed. I couldn't bear to tell her. When I was a girl mom made me date other boys. She said I needed practice being a girl so I could blow the competition away. Forcing me to dress up till I was 13. It's my fault. My voice wasn't that deep and I didn't get any facial hail. Maybe I was born to be a girl. "Dan. Listen, you know you don't have to be with me all the time. You can have a girlfriend," said (Y/n). I blinked a few times. What was she talking about. I tapped her forehead with my knuckle. "Dummy. You're my best friend. You think I could give you up just like that. Now let's go to the bookstore," I said with a slight smile. "Yes," she smiled wide and we began to walk. 

Yet no matter where we went I couldn't get him out of my head. Every book I seemed to be gravitated towards were some kind of cheesy romance book. I was even desperate enough to walk into the biographer section. I picked up a book it was about a romantic man. "Damn it," I mumbled. (Y/n) was enjoying herself finding book after book. I walked to find her in the teens section. I looked down at a book on display. It had two people kissing on the front.

I felt myself blush. "Oh no! Oh god no!!" I thought blushing, heart racing, him not leaving my thoughts.  Looked down so my hair covered my eyes. "Am I in love," i mumbled too soft for her to hear. My whole world began to crumble. "It can't be true; or can it be real," I thought in a panic. The next day at school he sat next to me. I didn't look at him. I didn't even say hello. I saw so many girls make a pass at him. He's such a flirt. Yet all guys are the same anyway. Same goes with girls. A pretty face and good body is all you need. I could make any boy fall for me. He wouldn't be much different. "Hey Dan" said Phil and I jumped. "Y...yes," I stuttered. "I just wanted to ask if you'd wanna show me around school. I hear you're a pretty cool guy," he asked nicely. Ok don't panic. Just say no. Yeah it's that easy. Just say no. He smiled at me and I cracked.

"Yes"
