(4) YA Transgender transfer student Alan ("He's really female. He was put in the wrong body") wears makeup and wants to be called Alana. The bullying football team plots an attack. Conflicted jock Adonis finally finds his spine and stops the assault. While many characters are stereotyped and the resolution is predictable, the worthy story will likely gain traction from its topical subject matter.
