"Boys volleyball today at lunch in the event centre" the teacher read aloud while looking at the notices. I love playing volleyball, I mentioned this to my friends and they encouraged me to go but I was hesitant, I knew I'd be the shortest one there since I'm trans. But once I got there, I knew what I was doing and got on with it. I knew I stood out because of my short height but I had fun regardless. 

On my way back to school I ran into Bailey,
"Hi," he said as he playfully punched me, I smiled, realizing that he was also unsure of how to talk to me. He was nervous, just like me. His friends called his name, getting his attention, he looked back at me and then walked over to his friends.
"See you around" was all he said, I thought nothing of it and went to my locker to swap my books over. I walked over to the biology classroom and saw James there.

"Hey man," I said in greeting,
"Hey, I need to talk to you about D&D" James replied, I leaned against the wall, waiting for him to elaborate. He explained that he didn't want Bailey and me fighting during D&D for obvious reasons, I told him I'd handle it. Now I had to go find Bailey after class to talk to him. 
Bailey and I would play rough with each other but we'd never actually hurt each other, it was a mutual feeling between us, an unspoken rule to never go that far.

I had to wait until lunch to find him, I had pinched a chocolate bar from a junior and was planning on using it to bribe him. I dropped my bag off in the art room and then walked around the school, looking for him. I found him with his friends playing ping-pong outside, as I approached him I could see his friends giving me the side eye. I tapped his arm to get his attention and then held up the chocolate bar, he turned to look at me, looked at the chocolate then back to me,
"I'm here to make a truce" I started, I could feel myself start to get flustered under his gaze. This was probably not something to do while his friends were glaring at me.
"I'll give you this as a truce during DnD, so for two hours on Friday we don't physically fight each other" I explained, he agreed and took the chocolate bar.
