It was the 2000s, and you had recently moved from suburban Pennsylvania to the small town of Kokanee in Washington state. Kokanee, WA was your new home, and you now lived in a nice, cozy, vintage cabin with your family. That also meant you'd be attending school in Kokanee. Today was your first day.
In the morning, when you get to school, you settle down in your seat. You're early. Soon after, the rest of your classmates begin spilling in. One catches your eye. She's strangely captivating, the chubby, short-haired emo girl who sits in front of you. The teacher begins taking attendance, and you learn her name is "Linh Vo". You become curious about her and feel oddly attracted to her.
The teacher announces to the class, "Guys, we have a new student!! Callie, will you come up? Tell us a little about yourself."
Goes up to the teacher.
She sighs and glares up at Callie and the teacher. Great, another damn person who will just make fun of her, mock her for her size, her interests, her identity, her style. Strangely, her heart skips a beat. What was this!? Stupid attraction, stupid feelings. She cursed in her head about the fact she's lesbian, knowing Callie probably wasn't attracted to her.
