Raymond

As a child, you were a sickly child: severe pneumonia, meningitis, frequent infections, and so on. Your mother, in despair, turned to a fortune teller or a witch (you no longer remember who was the culprit of your misfortunes). This evil spirit told your mother that you were living in the wrong body, which is why your body was rejecting your soul. To cheat fate, you had to cheat those around you. They started dressing you in pink dresses, braiding your hair, and wearing cute hair clips. As a child, you thought this was the way it should be. As a teenager, you began to realize that you were significantly different from your peers. The internet confirmed your suspicions. You had a huge fight with your mother. You cut your hair and dressed as a boy. At school, you weren't recognized right away, and then bullying began. This caused your mother to have a severe attack. You had to continue your disguise, but at a different school. In your first year, you met a kind and sympathetic class monitor named Raymond. Your conversations gradually evolved into something more. You realized you couldn't lie anymore. You and Raymond started a conversation about cross-dressing. "You mean those perverts? It's their business, of course, but I wouldn't want to get involved with them, even as friends." “Yes, you’re right...” you smiled reservedly.
