NOTES.1

CASEY IS A GUY! 3


and if you don't get it, Casey's falling for her because she's a GIRL, not a GUY!4

(J.C. POV)5

Now, what to do? 6

I began by binding my chest. I started too tight, but got the hang of it. I tried to lose my slouch, but decided it wasn't necessary. For my wardrobe, I went on a shopping spree with Lilli and stole a few belts from Andy. I put my makeup away and studded my T-shirt sleeves. 7

I pulled on my fingerless gloves and grabbed my new-bought grey messenger bag, ready to face a brand new world.8

Goodbye, Jacey Rose Giovanni. Make room for J.C., a whole new girl.. or guy...9

(Collie POV)10

Jackie walked up to me with a boy I've never seen before. 11

The boy smiled at me. 12

He had half his hair dyed black and half of it dyed white, with his eyebrows accordingly. He had two upper ear piercings and a tatoo on his arm. His shirt had some unfamiliar band logo and he had an extremely defined slouch.13

"Colt, this is J.C. Giovanni, J.C., this is Casey Collier, A.K.A. Collie." She introduced us.14

Cute... 15

WAIT. No. No way. I did not just think that. Not at all. I've been straight as a pin all my life. Did. Not. Think. That.16

"H...hey." I said, smiling.17

J.C. grinned back. "Nice to meet you, Casey." 18

Casey.. he called my Casey. Not Collie, not that nickname that had grown on me. Casey. 19

He shook my hand and I noticed he was wearing black fingerless gloves. His fingernails were black on one hand and white on the other.20

"You're really into this black and white thing, aren't you." I noted.21

"Yes. Yes I am." J.C. laughed.22

He wasn't much taller than me. I felt a warm blush creeping up my face as he shot me that sensational grin. 23

(Collie POV)24

I sat somewhere in the middle of the bus, window seat, of course.25

Before I saw him coming, J.C. sat down right next to me.26

"Hey, Casey." he whispered into my ear. He pulled a bit of hair out of my face. "How's it going?"27

"I'm good, you?" I smiled. 28

He laughed, his breath tickling my face.29

I stiffened up and scooted farther towards the window.

(J.C. POV)30

Casey was really, truly amazing. He played guitar and lifted weights and played basketball like nobody's business. So I tried to flirt. And I think it's working. 31

It's surprising he doesn't already have a girlfriend- I mean, he's this sandy blond that has this simply breathtaking voice- there's really nothing not to like! 32

I'm crazy about him... and I think he's catching on.33

Ugh. Classsss. I sat down in the farthest corner in the back of the room at some dusty old desk. Far enough back that I had no hope of hearing the teacher... Or the teacher hearing me.34

Casey sat next to me. He smiled shyly at me. "Hi, J.C... what's up?"35

I leaned towards him. "Hmm... The ceiling, I believe."36

"You're fantastically philosophical."

THE MOMENT OF TRUTH THAT IS A LOT MORE INTO THE STOREH
(Collie POV)37

J.C. broke up with me last week, and I'm telling you, it hurts. Like hell. 38

He said that there's something I need to know about him that he can't tell me. God, what could it be? And why did it matter?39

I walked miserably down the hall to English class, staring at my shoes.40

A whir of black and white and before I knew it, I was trapped between J.C.'s body and a locker.41

I noticed that we were almost eye-to-eye now. 42

"Casey, I'm sorry." he managed to say.43

"No, I get it. You don't want to be some sort of fag creep, right?" I laughed half-heartedly.44

He pushed me closer to the locker 'til we were literally 5 inches away.45

He looked like he was trying to read my mind. "Um, Casey, you weren't... uh, gay, until you met me. Am I right?" J.C. said. 46

How did he..?47

I started blushing insanely. "Um, no. I wasn't."48

"And, at first, you thought it was weird that you liked me, right?"49

How. Did. He. Know?50

"Yeah, kind of." I responded.51

"Do you want to know why?" 52

Hell yes. Of course I do.53

"Y...yes?"54

J.C. looked as if he was trying to muster up the strength to tell me something, but then gave up. "You're not going to believe it." He whispered. 55

He looked me square in the eye and then....56

...he left. He started off to English class. 57

Now it was my turn for questions. 58

I pulled him back to me by his shirt collar and tucked a bit of his white hair behind his ear. "Tell me. I'll believe you."59

At that, he flashed his dazzling smile. "I'm not so sure."60

I held him by his sleeve and frowned. 61

"Tell me, why do you never go to the gym with me and Oliver, especially when I know you love working out?" 62

No response.63

"How come you always refuse to go to the beach with us?"64

No response.65

"Why did you freak out when Amy Danner checked you out? I mean, uh, if you're... gay, it would be a bit awkward.. but it's not like nobody'd ever done that at your old school! You're amazing, for heaven's sake!"66

No response... except for a tear. In a matter of moments, J.C. was sobbing into my shoulder.67

"Um, J.C., are you alright?" I put my hand on his back.68

"I... I LOVE Yo-OU!!" He cried. "I'M SO...oORRYY!" 69

I went even redder than I was before (if that was even possible) and kind of smiled. Kind of.. a bit. You would have if you were me.70

Then he collapsed to the ground. He whispered something unintelligible.71

"What?" 72

"I... I..."73

"Please tell me!"74

He looked up at me, wiping the tears out of his eyes. 75

"I'm not who you think I am..." he muttered. "My real name is Jacey Rose Giovanni. And I'm a GIRL. I... I'm sorry.76

I would have said something if I hadn't fainted first.
