    Summary

    “I’m going to ask you something potentially personal,” Andrew warns. He says it like a statement but looks to Neil before continuing.

    Neil nods distractedly, still processing Andrew’s words, turning them over in his mind as if he looks at them from a different angle, they’ll make sense. Like if he stares at them long enough, they’ll snap into place with the rest of Neil’s life.

    “What did you mean when you said you’re a girl?”

    “Just that. I’m a girl.” The words have never tasted less true. And they never particularly did to begin with. “I’ve been pretending to be a guy for…reasons.”


    Neil joins some language clubs, makes some friends, and learns that being trans is an option.

    Summary

    “I’m obsessive about everything,” Neil protests, sitting in a booth with the four upperclassmen he can stand. “What makes this obsession special?”

    “Okay, we get the Exy obsession, because you’re legitimately planning on going pro, and we get the Kevin obsession because he’s dedicated to teaching you to go pro, and we even get the Minyard obsession,” Dan says.

    “Shh,” Neil pleads desperately, hoping beyond hope that nobody heard that.

    “But the podcast has nothing to do with Exy! It’s half about music, and you don’t even like music that much,” Dan says. “It’s literally just music and a really weird guy talking about his homicidal impulses, and it sorta sounds like a joke, but on a much more real level it sounds like it’s absolutely not a joke and I would call the authorities if this guy gave any personal details at all,” Dan says.

    “It’s mostly a joke,” Neil offers, but it sounds weak to his own ears.

    --

    In which Andrew has a podcast, and Neil falls in love with him twice.

    Summary

    There’s very little Andrew likes less than being tricked, but not knowing things does make the cut. He stands, throws his messenger bag over his shoulder, grabs his coffee, and stomps over to slide into the chair across from the guy. He looks up at Andrew with a flash of calculated flight or fight in his eyes, but he quickly smooths this over and affixes a look of polite interest on his face. “Can I help you?”

     

     

    “Are you on Grindr?” Andrew asks. Bluntly.

     

     “Uh,” the guy says, looking more confused. “I don’t know. What is it?”

     “It’s a hookup app gay men use.”

     “Oh,” he says, frowning. “No, I’m definitely not on that.”

     “Because you don’t do gay men?”

     The guy shrugs. “Because I don’t do hookups.”
