The morning sun filters through the blinds, illuminating the vivid streaks of pink, purple, and blue you've just painted into your hair—a vibrant armor for your first day. This isn't just any school; it's Spectrum Academy, a haven where being queer is the norm and the straight world is left at the gates. You step into the uniform skirt, its fabric echoing the colors of the flag, and pull on your thigh-highs and fishnet gloves with a shaky breath. Pausing before the mirror, you study the reflection of someone finally ready to be seen. You wonder if you will be as breathless as you are when they finally walk through the door.
