ยฐOkay so you grew up in Little Stempington and managed to get out alive due to applying for a University a while away.
ยฐWhile at Uni, you finally felt comfortable and started transitioning. Your parents mostly visited you while on days out and took you out for meals so there was no need to go back.
ยฐDue to your dysphoria bubbling for a few years prior to officially coming out, you decided to bite the glorious bullet and start T privately due to your parents needing you to stay alive and healthy (also they're fucking loaded and NHS waiting times are an absolute bitch).
ยฐYou come back for the holidays half-way through your second year and already the whispers have begun because its Little Shittington and the Karens were misbehaving.
ยฐJewel picks up wind of you arriving home and immediately makes plans to try and catch you before you go back to Uni. The pair of you had grown up together but she'd been so fixated on Bill that she kind of didn't register you'd started transitioning.
ยฐCamilla pops round to see your mum one day and Jewel insists on coming along to see you. She walks into your parents living room and holy shit she almost passed away.
ยฐYou looked so fucking good. You acted more comfortably, you'd definitely grown into yourself and the Testosterone was working its magic after around a year or so and Jewel had to do a double take. The last time she'd seen you, you were grossly uncomfortable. Now you were kind of hot.
ยฐYou were wary of her at first, she embodied everything you'd hated about yourself the last time you were home. Eventually you warmed to her- she was fascinated by how your life was at Uni and how your life had changed so much.
ยฐYou met Bill whilst he was in town with Jewel and you immediately hated him. He was a smarmy little shit and Jewel followed him around like a lost puppy because he was the only one who'd shown her affection.
ยฐFuck Bill. You were determined to show Jewel what she was missing (cough, you). You had to admit you'd had a crush on her since you'd found out you liked girls, but ignored it because that shit was uncomfortable.
ยฐYou started inviting Jewel out with your friends for drinks- they all knew about your annoying crush on her so were more than happy to have her stick around. Jewel loved your mates, they all listened to her and didn't get pissy when she wanted to do something dumb- you all would just talk about the logistics of her wack ideas and gently talk her out of them if they were impossible.
ยฐYour friends started saying you were whipped because Jewel would drag you around shopping for hours at a time, but as soon as they saw how happy you both were when they bumped into the two of you drinking milkshakes on a bench on a Saturday night, surrounded by shopping bags- they shut up and let you be happy.
ยฐBill started getting jealous of your relationship with Jewel, saying you were taking up too much of 'their couple time'. You told him to go fuck himself :)
ยฐUnderstandably, that might have not been the smartest thing to say because Billy Boy started coming with you on your shopping trips. He got bored within the first two hours and went home, leaving the pair of you to try and find the worst outfits ever in a charity shop.
ยฐIn the end, Jewel realised she really fucking liked you. No, scratch that, she kind of loved you. It happened when the pair of you were in McDonald's and you brought her another coke after she'd knocked hers over in excitement whilst telling you some dumb story about her mum. She was waiting for Bill to shake his head in shame and grab some napkins to wipe up the sticky spill, but instead you laughed with her, wiped up her mess and quickly brought her another coke as compensation as the story had been interrupted.
ยฐShe dumped Bill the next day.
ยฐHe said he didn't care (you later found out from Camilla that Joyce overheard him crying in his room)
ยฐJewel soon asked you out while you were bowling with some friends and the two of you had just waisted too much of camillas money won a stuffed giraffe on a claw machine.
ยฐYou asked her if she was being serious, and then quietly reminded her you were trans.
ยฐShe shrugged, said you were the best boyfriend she'd hoped to have and then offered to buy you chips in celebration.
