Phil's POV
"Philipa!! Come get your breakfast!" I groaned. Mom was calling me but I didn't want to get up. Not to that homophobic family anyway.I dragged myself off the bed, and entered my bathroom. I reached into the top cupboard, pulling out my binder. I had managed to get it secretly, so don't talk about it. I wrapped it around my chest, and soon it was as good as not having breasts, which I was perfectly fine with. I went back out again, throwing on skinny jeans and a Muse shirt. I pull my long ebony hair into a beanie so it looked short, smiling to myself in the mirror once I was done. I looked a little more like a boy now, which was exactly what I wanted.I went downstairs, and instantly the lively kitchen went dead silent."Philipa? What are you wearing?" Dad asks, leering at me over his newspaper.I rolled my blue eyes like the answer was obvious,"A Muse shirt and jeans, plus a beanie."My brother, Martyn, gives me a look of disgust,"You're a girl, stick to the program." Why do they find it impossible to understand me? Was it really that hard?"Philipa, get changed, then come down again for breakfast. If you stay like that, I refuse to give you food," Mom threatens, and I scoff, picking up my schoolbag, phone, headphones and keys,"Fine, I'll just get food at school. You're not the only food provider in the world, you know. Stop acting so high and mighty."And with that, I left the house, knowing I was bound to get yelled at once I made it home.

"Hey girl!" Marcus laughed, and his friend, Alfie did a cat call, both snickering in enjoyment of my rage. I didn't like how they misgendered me on purpose.
"Leave him alone, idiots!"I turned around in surprise, just as Marcus and Alfie back away. I met the brown eyes of a very handsome boy. He had deep dimples, slightly tan skin, and dark brown hair, with a left fringe. He asked, grinning,"Are you okay?" I smiled gratefully,"Yeah, thanks." He held out his hand,"I'm Dan. Dan Howell." I replied, shaking his hand,"Phil Lester." Dan smiles fondly,"You're a transgender?" My smile drops, for fear Dan would make fun of me,"Uh... Yeah. My actual name is Philipa." Dan smiles,"Don't worry. Its not my thing to misgender people. Marcus and Alfie have misgendered quite a number of people on purpose, actually. They have a bad rep in my group of friends." I ask, curious,"Who're in your group?" Dan replies,"Chris Kendall and PJ Liguori. Say, would you like to meet them during lunch?" I smile,"Sure!"

"Hey, Phil!"I turned to face the source of the yell, my gaze falling upon Dan and two boys. I smile back, making my way to their table and sitting down next to Dan."Okay guys this is Philipa but he prefers Phil. Phil, these are PJ and Chris." PJ greets politely,"Hello mate." And Chris says,"Hi!"They turned out to be epic people. Dan was sarcastic, Chris was comedic and PJ was creative, and they were all accepting.
