It's Not The Same - Philip Hamilton

She's blushing red. "Angie, that's great!" "Don't tell her please!" "I won't, I promise!" Angie sat next to me on the bed. "When are you gonna tell her how you feel?" "I don't even know if she likes girls or not." "She's poly." "Oh." "I think she'd like you. Let's ask Liza." We walked into Liza's room. "Hey Liza, can we ask you something?" Angie started the conversation. "Sure." "So, Angie likes one of my friends, and I like a different girl, and we both want to ask them out. What should we do?" "Set up a double date. Ask them out tomorrow at school. Who are these girls anyway?" "Angie likes Theodosia, and I like Meghan." "All right. The double date is my suggestion. Friday night." "Okay, thanks Liza!" "Anytime!" We go to back to bed.

I wake up the next morning and get ready for school. Phil and Kitty already went back to college. We eat our breakfast and walk to the bus stop with Liza and JJ. "Ready?" Liza asked. "Yeah." I reply. Polly isn't there today. "Where's Polly?" Angie asks Martha. "She's sick today." "Okay." The bus arrives and we get on and sit in our usual spots.

When we get to school, I walk into my first block. Only me and Meghan are in the classroom, so I decide to ask Meghan here. "Hey Meghan!" "Hey Philip!" "So, I was wondering if you wanted to go to that bar with us on Friday night. My sister Angie and the girl she likes are going to come with us too." "Like a date?" "Yeah." "I like you, but I'm trans." I smile. "That doesn't make you any less of a woman to me."

She smiles at me. "Well, then it's a date!" She hugs me, extremely happy. That's when our friends walk in to class. "Hey guys! What were you guys doing?" Georges asks us. "Oh, we're going on a date on Friday night." Meghan exclaims. "Nice." Georges says. "Theodosia likes someone too." Theodosia elbows him in the side. "Fine, I'll tell you guys! I like Angie!" This is great! Theo has the same feelings for Angie!

"Well, she told me not to tell you, but since I now know your feelings, l'll tell you. She likes you back!" Theo's eyes widen. "Wait really? Angie likes me?" "Yeah." Theodosia smiles at me. "She's planning to ask you out at lunch too." More people enter the class, so get in our seats before the teacher shows up.

The day goes by, and it's time for lunch. "Hey Theodosia. I was wondering if you wanted to go to the bar with us on Friday night. Philip and Meghan are coming with us too. It'll be a double date. I mean, if you're interested." Theodosia smiles big. "I'd love to go!" Angie's eyes light up. I'm so happy that she found someone.

The rest of the week flies by, and it's finally Friday night.
