Zay's eyes widened. "Wh-What do you mean?"

Clarissa took a deep breath. "I... I never felt comfortable in my body. I saw girl's outside when I was little and they were playing and wearing really pretty dresses. At first it was little things like that, but then, when I was 13 my body started changing. And I didn't want it. I never felt like I belonged. So I looked into a few things and I decided that I wanted to be a girl. I told my parents and at first they were worried about me being bullied. But then, they saw how much I wanted to change so they accepted it and I started getting treatment at 14. I take tablets to help with my hormones. That's why I left Class. When I changed, I looked into the mirror and I felt happy. I felt like, this was me. And I just stared and thought... 'Clarissa'. I don't know how I got the name... it just seemed to fit. So I stuck with that and when I went back to School the other kids... picked on me. They called me Gay for wearing a dress. But what they didn't understand was that I wasn't a boy anymore. In time, they slowly got used to it. Of course, not all of them fully understood, but they got used to it. Then my Dad got a job here for a few weeks so we moved. I wanted to keep it a secret. But... I can't lie to you, especially if you wanted to take our relationship to a romantic level. This is me Zay", said Clarissa. Towards the end, she slowly looked up, tears in her eyes.

Zay looked away, not making eye contact with her.

"You can't look at me now can you?", asked Clarissa, wiping away her tears.

Zay shook his head. "N-No it's not that. I-I'm just trying to process everything. Wait, so what do I call you?", he said, trying not to sound offensive.

"Ok. And I would like it if you called me her, she, stuff like that. Some people prefer to use 'they' pronouns but since I changed I wanted to be called her", said Clarissa.

Zay nodded. "Clarissa... the thing is, I fell in love with your appearance first. Then I got to know you. And... we're so similar. We both joke around. We both have some similarities. And I think, because of that, a relationship between us wouldn't work"

Clarissa frowned but nodded. "Zay. You asked me to be your girlfriend. Then I told you about me. That's not the real reason is it, you just don't want to be with a Transgender person do you? I won't be mad, I just want the Truth"

Zay shook his head. "I promise it's nothing to do with that."

"Please don't lie to me Zay", said Clarissa.

"I'm not"

"Yes you are!"

"No I'm not!"

"Zay please!"

"I have a daughter!"

Clarissa's eyes widened. "Wh-What? Y-You do?"

Zay nodded. "Puts you off, right?"

Clarissa shook her head after a few seconds. "N-No. Just suprised"

Zay nodded. "See. We both have things we wish we could change"

"What do you mean?", asked Clarissa.

"Well you wish you were born a girl, though, I think the fact that you changed is amazing because you realised that you weren't you and you did something about it, you changed to be you. But anyway... and I wish I never slept with Naya's mother. Naya is my daughter's name. I'm a teen father. But it's weird because I love Naya so much. So see, we have SO much in common. Clarissa, it is absolutely not because you are Transgender, I'm not that kind of person", said Zay.

Clarissa nodded. "I understand. Thankyou for accepting me Zay."

Zay smiled. "Hey, there's been so much going on here, we've learnt not to be judgemental"

Clarissa nodded, smiling, letting out a small laugh.

Clarissa's phone vibrated.

She frowned as she read the message.

"What's wrong?", asked Zay.

"My Dad got the Job mixed up. The one he applied for was for a small Branch in England. He didn't read the email properly. He's booked a flight for tomorrow morning", said Clarissa.

"You're leaving?", asked Zay, frowning.

Clarissa nodded sadly.

"Well come visit sometime", he smiled.

Clarissa nodded.

They hugged.

The Group came and the other History Students were already in Topanga's.

She told them the news and they were all sad.

They all hugged her.

Clarissa left.

"I'm sorry man, we were all making ship names, you must be so upset", said Lucas, putting a hand on Zay's shoulder.

Zay let out a small laugh. "We had too much in common, it wouldn't work. But hey, I found another friend for life"

They all agreed with Zay on the last part.

It doesn't matter what Gender you are. Or if you don't label your gender and remain Agender. Same for your Sexuality or if you are Asexual. I'm a huge supporter of the LGBTQ+ Community. I am Straight myself but I support the idea that Love Is Love. As for Gender, as long as you are happy and you are kind and have compassion and a heart, it doesn't matter what body you're in. Just be you. Whether that's Cross- dressing, transitioning from Male to Female or Female to Male, being Agender or not transitioning at all. Acceptance is what's going to make the World a Better Place.
