My Story Part 2
High School
In Clinton, MS we had a 9th grade only school. It was really weird but it was a time to not
be around all the high school kids yet. So we were at the 9th grade school and I was
talking to guys on the phone pretending to be a woman. I remember one day, Shelia and
Christy went back and told a guy the truth about me. I was in a shock. I dealt with it
though. I remember his name was Derrick and he was not the best looking guy in the
world but he was ok. So Derrick did not want to fight me, that was great. Then I started
talking to a singer in Jackson and this girl in school new him. She told him and his
brothers about me and they were mad at me too. So Shelia and all these guys she told
ended up going together. Christy only told on me once, and she and I still are friend to
this day even though she has her opinions.
I remember the next situation when it was summer of my 9th grade year. I had a friend a
friend named Kam, she was cool, but she would tell guys too if she liked them. Kam and I
started talking to this guy that went to Calloway high school in Jackson, Mississippi. I
remember the guy very well. My friend Leslie from elementary new the guy. He was like a
star football player at Calloway. Then I found out the guy was like my best friends Patsy’s
boyfriend. It was so crazy. I remember the guys name was Eric. O my gosh, this was so
weird. Patsy and I stopped talking that much after 8th grade and all this happened the
summer of 9th grade. It was a really tough time. So Kam’s sister liked him too kind of
and she told the boy that I was a boy and he was like that sick mother “f” . I am going to
kill him. So then I had to tell my mom and dad and go into hiding again. Ok then there
came a boy named Cedrick that I tricked. He used to go with this girl I was kind of
friends with named Robby. I know she had a boys name. Robby and this other girl
named Damita was like real close. Damita and I was close friends until she started dating
Rafael. I think he was my biggest crush till I got in 11th grade and his breath smelt like
something between a girls legs. Well anyway, we will not talk about all that. Back to the
situation with Cedrick. While I was going with him, one of my best friends from
elementary was sticking up for me. O my gosh this was so weird. Plus, I had like this
friend named Linda. Linda would meet guys for me sometimes, I can see she looks like
the way I look now. She is my best friend that had the two kids and named me the God
mother. Well with Cedrick, Linda turned on me to an extent because she went to the crazy
house after her husband was with another girl. In fact her husband was like having other
families with different women. I helped her two kids get in the government program till
she got out. She got out like 8 years later, but things are fine now. She was Brazilian and
very pretty. Cedrick was getting restless about meeting me, so I told him I went to Spain.
Stupid me could not stop talking to him though. So I would block my number and still
call him. I barely even knew any Spanish. That was so weird to me. Cedricks friend
found out I knew Damita from my big mouth and he started asking about me. She called
the number he gave her, and it was my number. It was a shock. I could not believe it.
She was like “ Is this Tory”. I was so scared. I got passed that time though. You know
how good I work. Well eventually he found out from Kam telling him cause she started
falling in love with him. So that story is over with.
When I went to high school, I was really scared. Kam’s friends and a couple of other
people started talking about me before I started school again. It was weird. Guys were in
the hall way calling me, “Tina”. I was like o my gosh, where did they get that name
from. I was so like scared. You know how friends were, when I asked the, they said,
“Child I don’t know how they found out.” Lies from a bunch of hoochies but that’s ok. I
used to sell drinks and cakes at school. I did pretty good with money. I have always been
the type of marketing person.
Pep Rally’s were really great. I was like on the pep squad of my own. High school did not
have a dance team, so I was left to do my own dances. It was weird. I was like the dancer
of the school.. I could step really good and move to the beat. I thought that was really
great. Then some people did not like me dancing or being gay. I remember this guy
named JV and CB. They were the worst experiences in my life. JV one day after I danced,
took a cup of water and through at me. The water hit Quincess and Christy, close friends.
We told the principle and the principle jumped on me for trying to saduce him. I was like
“What!” So JV got off and I was blamed the principle told me, “ You better shape up
young man.” At the end of the year, JV and CB jumped me with this other boy from
another school. I was so hurt. CB pushed me and JV pushed me. The other boy hit me
in the head. Quincess was outside and she stopped them to an extent. The knocked my
glasses on the ground and stepped on them. They ran after I almost hit the ground. I was
so dizzy, but I must be hard headed cause I was ok. So Quincess and I went to get Christy
out of detention and we told the Principle. The Principle was gone and had retired and the
assistant took his place. He was a fair man. He was about business. He called both CB
and JV’s parents. He had them up at the office. I went to my moms school and she took
me to the police station. I had to press charges on damage, but could not on assault cause
I was only pushed.
I meet Adrian my 11th grade year. That child was wild. Adrian had a boyfriend and
everything. He was very weird to me, the boyfriend that is. He was like a poet that was
sometimes gay and sometimes who knows. Adrian liked him though. Adrian was light
skinned. Adrian made me realize that most light skinned gays got more attention than
dark skinned gays. That was very odd. I got used to that. It seems like all the gays
wanted brown or light skinned blacks. I was getting used to that though.
