Turquoise’s class ended and although some of the girls were not so thrilled about Silver becoming Turquoise, a few did not mind. Fluer was waiting outside for Turquoise.

“So how did your classmates take the new you?” Fluer asked.

“The boys mocked me and as for the girls they seemed split down the middle,” Turquoise said.

“Split down the middle?” Fluer asked.

“It means while half are with me the other half are against me,” Turquoise explained.

“You can’t win them all,” Fluer said.

“And the worst part was another student got sent to the office because of my existence,” Turquoise said. The two continued on to Turquoise’s next class which was Science. Unfortunately Fleur was not in this one either but luckily Lemon was. As soon as Turquoise went inside the teacher was a bit confused.

“Excuse me miss but who are you?” The Teacher asked.

“Ms.Tsubaki that is Silver,” Lemon said before she silenced her.

“I want her to tell me not you,” Ms.Tsubaki said.

“It's true,” Turquoise said, dropping her voice which surprised all but Lemon.

“How can this be? He is even prettier than Rara,” One of the boys said.

“I know, I would have loved to feel those melons of hers and listen to her moans of pleasure,” Another boy said.

“Does this whore really think he can stand on equal footing with us?” One of the girls said.

“Hey Zak, I think you should do it with her,” Another girl said. ms.Tsubaki was starting to get sick of all the rude remarks and slammed her palm on her whiteboard which got everyone’s attention.

“That will be enough chatter from all of you, Silver, go take your seat so we can begin,” Ms.Tsubaki said. Class began and as ms.Tsubaki was going over the periodic table the boys were more focused on Turquoise as she was taking notes. The girls were just staring daggers at her as if she committed a great sin. Halfway through ms.Tsubaki noticed everyone looking at Turquoise and not her.

“Excuse me but is there something about Sylvia you find more important than this?” Ms. Tsubaki asked.

“It's Turquoise, not Sylvia,” Turquoise said.

“Either way it appears that Turquoise is the only one paying attention so I suggest the rest of you do as well,” Ms. Tsubaki said.

“Then tell this slut to take all of that stuff off and return that uniform to the actual girl he stole it from,” one of the girls demanded.

“First of all this is my uniform, and second, I don’t appreciate you comparing me to a prostitute,” Turquoise said.

“Yeah Raven, leave Turquoise alone, “Lemon said.

“Stay out of this music geek,” Raven said. Suddenly ms. Tsubaki slammed her desk with all the force she could muster which made a very loud bang that not only got the student’s attention but could be heard in the adjacent classrooms as well.

“Enough, Raven, go to the Principal’s office immediately,” Ms. Tsubaki shouted while pointing to the door. Raven left but not before telling Turquoise this isn't over. Class resumed and while the other girls were inclined to stick with their opinions they kept them to themselves in fear of being next to get kicked out. Once class was over Turquoise felt like she was going to be sent to Cadence’s office next based on the fact that three students have already been sent there because of her. Suddenly the PA system sounded which startled her in her current mindset.

“Will Turquoise Dusk please report to the Principal’s Office,” Cadence said over the speaker. Turquoise knew this was going to happen and felt very afraid, even more so since she knew that when stuff like this happens the Principal gets the parents involved which in this case would make things worse since Turquoise and her dad are still on bad terms with each other. Turquoise walked towards the administrative offices and entered. The receptionist buzzed Turquoise in and Cadence told her to have a seat. Cadence could tell Turquoise was feeling very afraid and spoke.

“You can relax Turquoise, you're not in trouble,” Cadence said.

“Then why am I here?” Turquoise asked.

“I just want to see if you're doing alright considering how many students were sent here and your name coming up from each of them,” Cadence said.

“Let me guess, they referred to me as a slut or whore,” Turquoise said.

“Among other rude things,” Cadence said before speaking more. “Listen Don’t let them bring you down like that, I know how hard it can be for a trans person to be accepted and there are always going to be people who will try to bring them down.

“But what if my teachers begin to hate me as well?” Turquoise asked fearing the worst since she felt like her presence was just a distraction.

“I promise you they don’t act this way because they hate someone, your teacher’s are just trying to maintain order in their classroom and while i agree some of their methods might be a tad excessive they seem to get the job done, But back to our discussion, I know the road ahead is gonna be a very bumpy one but your not alone.

“What do you mean?” Turquoise asked.

“Tell me, has anyone mentioned the jewelry Box yet?” Cadence asked.

“Now that you mention it I did come across a flier for a club by that name,” Turquoise said.

“Just like you they are boys who identify as girls and while they may not identify as trans as well you all share the same desire to be the girls you wish to be,” Cadence said.

“Any reason you are bringing this up?” Turquoise asked.

“I want you to think of joining them, you don't need to do it right away but at least give it some thought,” Cadence said.

“I will,” Turquoise said before Cadence dismissed her.

“Have a good day and if you need someone to talk to, my door is always open,” Cadence said as Turquoise left. Waiting outside of the offices was Fleur who also heard the announcement.

“I heard the announcement, did you do anything wrong?” Fluer asked.

“Principal Cadence just wanted to see if I was doing ok since those three students mentioned how it was my fault they were sent to her and she also recommended something called the jewelry Box,” Turquoise said.

“I don’t know what that is but you should not feel bad for those three, they did that to themselves,” Fluer said. The two of them reached their next class which luckily they were both in. The teacher was not surprised by Turquoise since she heard the announcement.

“Go ahead and take your seat Turquoise,” The Teacher said. As for the other students they were not saying anything since they also heard about what happened with Lance and Raven. Word tends to travel fast when the quarterback of the football team and one of the most popular girls in the school lands in trouble. The third person was not worth mentioning since they were a complete nobody who’s name is not even worth remembering.

“Are we really not going to mention Flint?” One of the other students asked.

“Why should we? The only reason he groped Turquoise from behind was to get attention which he does not deserve if he is willing to go that far for it,” Another student said.

“You're right but do you really think he deserved to be suspended for it?” The same student asked.

“What he did was Considerd rape which is a serious offense even if the victim was not a real girl,” The other student said before adding they wanted this to be the last they hear of Flint’s name or him in general.

“Ok class pipe down, it's time to begin,” The Teacher said. Fortunately everyone was focused on the lesson and not Turquoise this time. Turquoise was very relieved that nothing scary was happening like in her last class. The class went by quickly and soon it was lunch time. Turquoise and Fleur walked together to the Cafeteria and as soon as they entered they saw lemon and the others all sitting together. Turquoise decided to introduce them to Fluer and approached them.

“Hi girls, meet my new friend,” Turquoise said before Indigo interrupted her.

“Fluer Di Les? What are you doing with Turquoise? And where are your two bitchy friends?” Indigo asked in a demanding way.

“I am done with those two and Turquoise has become my new friend,” Fleur said.

“I would not trust her Turquoise, she could be playing you for a fool,” Sunny said.

“Is it really that hard for you to believe I changed?” Fluer asked.

“Trust is not gained, it is earned,” Sugarcoat said.

“I can vouch for her, after third period I saw her waiting outside the offices for Turquoise and when I asked her what was going on she told me about what has been happening in Turquoise’s other classes,” Lemon said.

“It’s true, in the short time I spent with her we have become good friends and aside from you girls and my mom she is also accepting of me being a girl,” Turquoise said.

“If you think she is good then we will allow her to join us,” Sour sweet said before her mood changed to anger. “But hurt our friend in any way and it will be the last thing you ever do.

“Noted,” Fluer said, a bit intimidated by Sour. The girls sat down and Turquoise started the conversation.

“By the way, have any of you girls heard of the Jewelry Box?” Turquoise asked.

“Not a clue,” Indigo said.

“Me either,” Sugarcoat said.

“Beats me,” Sunny said.

“Ditto,” Sour said.

“I have,” Lemon said, which surprised everyone.

“You know about it?” Sour asked in shock.

“Who do you think gave me Turquoise’s boobs,” Lemon said.

“Well don’t leave me in suspense, who or what are they?” Turquoise asked.

“A group of boys like you who also want to be their true girl selves, they often hang backstage in the drama department, they mostly help themselves to the woman’s costumes and prosthetics during their club time,” Lemon said.

“Any reason why you're asking about them?” Sunny asked.

“Principal Cadence recommended I join their club since she was worried about me feeling alone and like the whole school is out to get me,” Turquoise said.

“You are not alone, We care about you and I'm sure more people will come around eventually,” Fluer said. Just as she said that a girl with honey blonde hair styled in twin tails with a camera around her neck approached them.

“Excuse me, which one of you is Turquoise?” The girl asked.

“I am,” Turquoise said. The girl looked at Turquoise with a discerning eye before asking her to stand up. Turquoise complied and suddenly the girl looked at Turquoise from all angles before speaking again.

“Ah you're so beautiful,” she said.

“Thanks for the compliment but who are you?” Turquoise asked.

“Right, how rude of me, “I’m Vivid Dream and I'm a member of the photography club and you're perfect for what I'm looking for,” Vivid said.

“And what exactly would that be?” Turquoise asked in a cautious way since it could most likely be something bad.

“Tell me, have you ever heard of Cosplay models?” Vivid asked.

“You mean those cosplayers that do photoshoots in unique places suited to the character they are doing?” Turquoise asked.

“Exactly I want you to be my model,” Vivid said which caught Turquoise off guard.

“Slow down, Vivid, you really want Turquoise to be your model?” Sunny asked.

“I do, is there a problem?” Vivid asked.

“No, but there is something you must know first,” Lemon said before continuing. “Turquoise is really a boy and lately has been getting a lot of negative reactions because of it.

“So? I have been going to anime conventions for two years now and I have seen many boys cosplay as female characters,” Vivid said.

“So you don’t mind if Turquoise is not a real girl?” Sunny asked.

“Not at all, cosplay is a form of expression for the love of a character, things like race, nationality or gender don’t matter,” Vivid said.

“As interesting as that sounds, I need time to think it over,” Turquoise said.

“There is no rush, I'm just extending an invite,” Vivid said. As soon as she left, the group resumed their conversation.

“So lemon, can you show me the way to the drama department after school?” Turquoise asked.

“Are you thinking of joining the Jewelry Box?” Lemon asked.

“I have not decided yet but it couldn't hurt to see it first,” Turquoise said. Lunch ended and the rest of the day went by with some moderate turbulence for Turquoise. After Turquoise’s last class of the day ended, Lemon was waiting for her. She led the way to the drama department which was connected to the stage in the auditorium. Currently the whole room was empty but they did see a light on behind the curtain. They went behind the curtain and noticed the light in the costume room was on. Suddenly they were greeted by a girl with short blonde hair, stone blue skin, and was wearing what looked like Belle's dress from beauty and the beast.

“So good to see you lemon and who is this with you?” the girl asked.

“This is my new friend Silver. He has some interest in joining your club," Lemon said.

“Slow down I said I wanted to see it. I have not decided yet, I still have that other offer you know,” Silver said in his real voice.

“Wait You must be that new girl everyone is talking about,” The girl said.

“Turquoise, this is Azure, he is in charge of Crystal Prep’s branch of the jewelry box,” Lemon said.

“I see you already picked a gem name, “Azure said.

“That is just the girl name I decided on based on my mom’s name,” Turquoise said.

“Either way I say you will fit right in just fine,” Azure said before showing them inside. He explained how the girls here all go by gem names. Turquoise noticed the other members were also wearing the costumes from the drama department.

“So basically all you girls do is play dress-up?” Turquoise asked.

“Not entirely, we are working on doing other stuff but with the school still adjusting to Principal Cadence's new policies it’s going to be awhile,” Azure said.

“So are you interested? “Lemon asked.

“I am but there is also that offer from that girl from the Photography club,” Turquoise said.

“You know you can do both right,” Azure said.

“I can?” Turquoise asked.

“Sure, there is no rule limiting how many clubs you can join,” Azure said.

“In that case I'm in,” Turquoise said.

“Awesome welcome to the club,” Azure said. Next up was to find Vivid Dream. As soon as they exited the Auditorium, Vivid was talking with someone before she noticed them.

“Ah Turquoise, have you decided yet?” Vivid asked.

“Before I agree to anything, tell me more about what you will have me do,” Turquoise said.

“Well you will be dressing as certain characters from anime and video games, naturally you will be doing various poses and stuff. Don’t worry if you don’t have any experience, we can help you,” Vivid said.

“I accept,” Turquoise said.

“Excellent, our first shoot is tomorrow in the clubroom,”Vivid said before writing down the room number for Turquoise. Even though things took a rocky turn Turquoise was glad to end the day on a positive note.

I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. i know this is quite a drastic change from the original where everyone was accepting but since its conflict and hate you want then that's what you will have. As for the teacher's agressive personalities those stem from the ones i had to deal with in real life.
