Ghosts pov

I woke up this morning in an unfamiliar place, hearing an unfamiliar voice. I felt like I was a different person. The murmuring then stopped, just as I heard a loud thump. I turned on my side so I could see and hear what was happening in Ryans room. There was a guy quickly standing up in the doorway. He looked like he was around my age, he had black hair, snake bite piercings, and huge gauges. Of course he was wearing all black.

Just loud enough so that I could hear, the boy I never met said, "DUDE IS GHOST A GIRL". From where I was laying I couldn't see Ryan and I couldn't hear him either.
"WHAT THE HELL IS HIS NAME THEN" the guy half screamed.
"Uh I don't know. Like Devin or something" that was definitely Ryans voice.

I felt a few tears roll down my face. I don't want to be in this situation again. This is why I was so happy that I was moving. I hated being called a girl. I hated being yelled by the homophobic ass holes at school. I hated hearing "grow a pair" "tranny" and "chick with a dick" everyday. They made my life a living hell. Now a guy I didn't know, knew this. He could tell everyone.

I felt someone lightly grip, and start shaking my shoulder. I threw my body up from my position, just hoping it wasn't that guy. Fuck my life. I tried to breath as calmly as possible but it wasn't working. My hair is plastered against my face from tears and sweat. This is going to be the longest day ever.

"Goodmorning" he said as loud as possible, staring me in the eyes with a wide, almost creepy, smile.
"Uh oh hi.... who are you" I managed to squeak out, still breathing heavy.
"Oh I'm Ryans friend I came to wake you guys up so we could go surprise my other friend Ricky. " he half yelled. Boy what's your name. I don't care who you are. Tell me your name. I need your name to report you to the police.
"Oh okay. I need half an hour to get ready but I'm up for it." I said, frustrated, scared, and winded
"I'll go get you a cup of water. Are you okay?" He said, still being extremely loud
"Uh yeah it was just a dream. Thanks " I stammered. Why won't he just leave me alone.

He left the room and I collapsed back onto the bed. A wave of nausea hit me and I just wanted to call off the face of the planet. I laid there for god knows how long, shaking with the occasional tear falling down my face. The next thing I knew, Chris was in the room, cradling my body. Even though he's not my biological brother, he's closer to me than my real brother.

"Hey hey Ghost. It's okay. Just relax. Breathe with me. Okay. It's going to be okay. I'll be back in a second. When you can breathe you're going to tell me what's wrong and we're going to talk it though and figure it out" he whispered in my ear. His voice and his hug immediately calmed me down. He carefully laid me back down on the bed, as he stood up. I could hear Chris talking to the stranger outside the door. I turned my head to see the glass of water sitting on the night stand. I could just barely hear Chris.

"Balz...it's not my place to tell you this but Ghost is just scared of what you think of him." Chris said. He was always faithful like this. Letting people decide from themselves, not spilling secrets.
"What! Why? No he's cool and stuff! Why would I not like him!?" 'Balz' huffed out sounding very sarcastic
"Okay well Um...Uhh....so Ghost is a guy...like he has a dick...but he likes to dress like a girl sometimes. Not exactly a drag queen. He isn't transgender. He's something else...Please don't hate him or me for this. I'm sorry that you had to get involved in this" Oh wow thanks Chris that really helped me out.
"DUDE its cool. He's pretty hot as a human in general don't worry about it though. The secrets safe" maybe balz isn't so terrible.

Both of them walked back into the room and sat on the edge of the bed. "So why do the call you 'balz'" I said with full confidence .
"That my last name. Joshua Balz." He said with a little laugh. Okay this makes sense now.
"Okay. Uh I'll go get dressed and stuff. I'll meet you downstairs." I said while sitting up and grabbing the glass of water. Both the boys nodded and Balz got up and left the room.
"Hey Ghost...Balz is cool with the whole situation. You can dress however you want today" Chris said, keeping his voice fairly low.
"Okay. We're going to see Ryans friend today though. I'll stick to pants today." I said barely above a whisper. With that, Chris nodded, stood up, and left the room. Leaving me to get dressed and do my makeup.
