Chapter One

Brittany Susan Pierce held her binder close to her chest as she carefully navigated the crowded halls of William McKinley High School for the first time. She kept closely to the wall of lockers as she headed in the direction of her third period class, her eyes subconsciously shifting from one student to the next as they passed her. A part of her felt bad for being so overcurious and eager, but how many people could say that they've met a Neko, let alone went to school with one!

Of course, there were other reasons, more selfish ones, that had prompted her to want to move from Kentucky to Ohio in order to attend William McKinley. See, as rare as Neko's were, she herself had a condition that was even rarer. Or at least, one that was considered "abnormal and shameful", and therefor just wasn't talked about in public or the media. In reality, there could be thousands of girls out there who, like herself, had a dick instead of a vagina, but until she met one herself, she was going to keep assuming that this "deformity" was hers and hers alone.

The fact that she had been mercilessly and sometimes rather violently teased at her previous high school also added to her negative self view. It wasn't her fault that the highly religious, private school she'd attended had made it a point to inform all of the faculty about her "abnormality" before she'd even stepped foot into the building as a Freshman. They had said it was for her own safety, incase something should happen to her, the staff would already be apprised of her "pre-existing condition". Her parents had allowed this because they never would have thought that one or more of these teachers would view their daughter as an "abomination" and secretly spread the truth about her anatomy to the entire student body.

The teasing began small, starting with mostly hurtful words that, for her own part, Brittany didn't even understand at the time. She'd never told her parents about the bullying because she knew that her "problem" was a big enough stress on them to begin with. She knew that they loved her and that they would do anything for her, or to protect her, but they were already paying more money then they could afford to send her to that private school, how could she go to them and complain about a few kids saying mean things to her?

By the middle of her Senior year, the name calling and innocent bumps and shoves in the hallways had turned into out and out physical and psychological violence. Instead of being shoved into her locker and left there for hours on end, she was being dragged into empty janitors closets where some of her more vindictive and cruel classmates would beat her up, often times paying particular attention to the area of her body that made her a victim in the first place.

It hurt her, in many different ways, but still she couldn't tell her parents. She'd tried telling one of her teachers, after a particularly rough encounter at the end of gym class, and they'd out and out told her that she deserved it. This sentiment was shared by the school nurse, whom she'd gone to see afterwards, since whether or not she deserved it, she still had a bloody nose and a painfully swollen lip. The woman had told her that no matter where she went, people would be disgusted by her and that what she was experiencing now was just a sampling of what she would in the "real world".

That should have been enough to get her running to her parents, begging to be taken out of school, but Brittany was determined to not let these kids and teachers get to her. She only had one semester left and then she could go off to college. Preferably somewhere far away; somewhere that would be more tolerant of "freaks" like her.

The decision had been taken out of her hands, though, the moment her school's field hockey team had dragged her, kicking and screaming, into the girls locker room after the last class of the day. They'd proceeded to beat her and kick her, some of the girls using their sticks to try and leave more permanent, painful wounds. But as bad as a few cracked ribs and numerous welts and bruises were, the worst part of the ordeal was when one of the girls decided to pull down her pants and reveal her "monstrosity" for the entire team to see.

It had been the first time any of her abusers had gone so far as to actually expose her "abnormal anatomy". As horrified as Brittany was at suddenly being exposed in this way, the girls that had been attacking her seemed to be even more distressed. In a bit of rather cruel irony, the thing that caused her to be targeted in the first place, ended up being enough to deter the girls from touching or harming her any further. Their shock and disgust at actually seeing "the sin between her legs", in a way, saved her from what could have been a more tragic fate.

Like usual, when Brittany had gotten home, she'd tried to hide what had happened from her parents, but the moment they'd laid eyes on her bruised and bloodied body, she'd broken down and told them everything. She'd been pulled from the school the very next day, her parents promising never to let anyone hurt her like that ever again. It had been a mixed blessing for Brittany, who, as badly as she'd wanted out of that place, also wanted to be able to graduate on time. Sadly though, her injures kept her from being able to transfer immediately to another high school, and since her parents couldn't afford to home school her, she was told she'd simply have to repeat her entire senior year.

Enter William McKinley High School into the equation. During the summer, Brittany had done a ton of research on notoriously famous liberal high schools, only to find that most of them were located either in California or New York. While her parents did agree that perhaps it was best they relocated out of Kentucky, her dads employer only had connecting offices in the few nearby surrounding states, Ohio being one of them.

How Brittany ended up even hearing about this particular high school, though, had nothing to do with her actual research. One evening, while summer was in full swing, the Pierce family had been sitting around the living room watching the news. Brittany never really liked watching television, other than cartoons and a few cheesy prime time dramas, but for some reason she felt like watching with her parents that night. As soon as the main segment started, and the words "Neko Leads Ohio Cheerleaders To National Victory" flashed on the screen, Brittany knew that her life was never going to be the same again.
