trigger warnings: to be added if requested

☆   Born to Alicia and Reginald Thomas, Jayla was a good kid. She never got into trouble, and always tried her best to be kind to others. Although she was always good-natured, that changed a bit when she hit high school. But there were reasons for it. For one thing, none of her friends from elementary school went to the same high school and so Jayla felt lonely. Another thing was she was beginning to discover her sexuality.

Jayla is bisexual, but had never noticed until she got a bit older. She had had crushes on girls as a kid, but had never realized they were actually crushes due to heteronormativity. She was worried about how her parents would react. One day, though, after she got her first ever detention in school, her parents sat her down and asked her what was wrong. She cried and finally spilled the beans. Her parents gave her a huge hug and told her that they loved her and that she should never feel worried to tell them anything.

And so Jayla was relieved. From then on, she never got in trouble again and went back to her good-natured self. She made some friends in high school, then. And by the time she graduated, she had a good group. When it came time to go to college, she decided to double major in English and Education. She wanted to be a teacher. Her parents supported her in this as well, knowing she would make a good teacher in the future.

Now Jayla is working in a school, teaching 7th grade English. She is still good-natured, but still firm. Her students know better than to talk in class. And if they do, they definitely get in trouble. However, Jayla makes sure never to yell, as she doesn’t find it helpful. One can catch more flies with honey, after all.

Overall, Jayla is happy. She wouldn’t change a thing.
