Library, 4/27

A surly teenage boy is behind the counter, attempting to hide his face in a back issue of Rolling Stone.

He is very much hoping today will be the quietest day in library history, but the library is open and full of books anyhow. A new handwritten sign on the library door reads, END OF SEMESTER -- ALL BOOKS DUE MAY 5. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Angela snapped his head up. "Yo," he said casually.

"Yo," Cameron replied. "New here?"

Angela shook his head. "Nope."

Cameron raised an eyebrow. "Sorry, first time I've seen you in here then."

"Nope," Angela said. He was smiling now. "This is definitely not the first time you've seen me in here."

"Okay," Cameron said slowly and he was pretty sure he'd never seen this guy in the library before and usually it was Angela's day. He tilted his head and watched the kid. "Did you piss off Nadia too?"

Angela shook his head. "My boyfriend did. Well, usually he's my boyfriend. Right now she might be my girlfriend."

Cameron led out a breath. "Yo, Angela. I just saw your girlfriend in class. You need to teach hi-her some manners."

Angela rubbed his forehead wearily. "What did sh-he do?"

"Got too enthusiastic in his female... being?" Cameron hoped that would be clear enough.

Angela looked horrified. "During class? Normally people want privacy for ... that."

"That?" Cameron blinked, caught on and quickly shook his head. "Not that that. Just... he felt the need to flaunt his assets. She. Her. Dude, this is confusing."

"Pronouns are a problem," Angela agreed, still looking vaguely horrified. "So, like, was there a reason, or did he just ... flaunt out of the blue?"

"It was more of a so you think I shouldn't move them around so let me push them in your face</>i sort of thing," Cameron grimaced. "I need bleach."

Angela rubbed his chin. "But, dude, you like girls," he pointed out. "I mean, what if it had been me? Well, regular me."

"Yeah, but... it's Marty. He's not supposed to be a girl," Cameron looked all flaily. "It'd be different if you'd..." He waved his hand around and it's possible the tips of his ears were turning pink. "You're a real girl!"

"Except today," Angela said wryly. "And, okay, I see your point."

"Plus I would, like, never do that, so the whole thing is kind of moot."

"Thank you," he relaxed a bit. "It's nothing permanent, right?"

"No," Angela said, looking extremely relieved by that fact. "At least, not if Marty's right and it's the same thing Nadia Santos used for prom. It lasts about 24 hours. No offense, but I don't want to be a guy forever."

"None taken," Cameron said maybe too quickly. "I think I prefer you being a girl too."

"Yeah, I'm not signing up for gender reassignment surgery anytime soon," Angela told him.

"That's a bit of a relief," Cameron said with a quick smile. "But you can't tell me it's all bad?"

Angela shrugged. "I guess not, but I haven't really been a guy long enough to have all that much of an opinion," he said. "I like being taller?"

"Tall's fun," Cameron grinned. "Easier to intimidate freshmen or other floorers."

Angela raised an eyebrow. "I actually could kick your ass now, Mitchell."

Then, assessing his height: "Well. I could try."
