This was one of the cutest stories about self love, acceptance and standing up for your self I have ever read.
Please check this one out if you have ever felt like the odd ball out at school, but then end up finding your people.
Annie is super antisocial, to make her look better for colleges her mom and the principle suggest joining a team to help fill out her applications. Joining the Cheer team, and being girly have never been Annie's thing. Bebe a trans girl, cheer captain and old friend of Annie's is falling behind in school. So she makes a deal with Annie that she will help her with cheer if Annie will help her with classes. They fall back into their old friendship like no time had ever passed, and possibly more blooms now between the two as they spend more time together.
