Liv
is a bit
worried about
going into
middle
school.
Liv's best
friend will be
there too so
it won't be
horrible.
Except for the
school
uniforms.
There is a
strict dress
code.
Both boys and
girls wear
shirts, ties
and
sweaters.
So far, so
good.
But all the
girls have to
wear
skirts.
This doesn't
sit well with
Liv. Liv
hates skirts
and doesn't
want to wear
one. Liv
is
actually
transgender
and dreads
being stuck in
a skirt every
day. Liv tries
everything to
get out of
wearing the
uncomfortable
skirt every
day. Add
to that the
class mean
girl has
targeted Liv
for her
abuse.
Things month
of just not
looking great
for Liv in the
first month in
the school. |
