This is my second Blog for the book I am reading, "Beautiful Music for Ugly Children". In the middle of the story Gabe gets noticed by so many people. In the story, he faces many problems with everything going on in his life plus the challenges of being transgender. Gabe starts to come into play as a big part of this life. His parents and brother, Pete are finally starting to accept calling Liz by her new name, "Gabe". It is very hard for Gabe's parents to truly accept Gabe to be different, but they put a big effort to call him by his real name.Gabe starts to experience exciting new events happening in his life more as a guy, and mature adult. He is starting to built his new life. He is becoming a big star on the radio and web. Gabe gets a job at a music record store, is getting great reviews and hits on his radio show, and gets excepted to be on the 'Vibe' talk show radio. Also within the chapter Gabe gets asked out on a date by a girl.

Within the story, the girl, Mara, he goes on date with, finds out Gabe is actually Liz from school. Gabe failing to explain, Mara posts on BUC wall on Facebook, telling followers Gabe isn't who he says he really is. Making more followers interested in Mara's comment. Mara exposes Gabe's identity to her friends. Later that night Gabe gets visitors at work from two guys with a Jason and Scream masks. Jason mask puts on page next day, "You need to know Gabe is really Liz Williams!" After, stating another comment, "nobody that sick should be able to live"(Cronn-Mills 141). I was shocked to read that. These two unmasked boys threated a person on the internet and no one did anything for awhile. Being assaulted like that for being who you are and expressing yourself should not be a crime.

After all the bad reviews Gabe's fans send Gabe a positive post stating, "Haters have been blocked, come hang with us at the B Side, Gabe. 1:30am on July 9th. We want to meet you!(Cronn-mills 153)." In the next few chapters Gabe had a few exchanges with Jason and Scream. After one of Gabe's shows, the boys are outside waiting for Gabe. John and Paige try to get them to back off but Gabe ends up getting a little beat. The boys threatening Paige too, they run away and on his Friday night show they call with a threat for his family. After all the threats they finally go to the cops. Boys showing no more threats for few weeks Gabe goes to see his fans on the B side wall.

The night of July 9th, Gabe met many of his fans, getting to know a few. Shocked to see Mara. Walking up to Mara, Jason and Scream both tackle Gabe out of no where. In front of all his fans they try to beat Gabe again. finally showing their true identities, kids from his school, Paul and Kyle wanted to teach "Liz" or Gabe a lesson but John and a fan, Jake both stopped them. Jake knocking Kyle out, and Paul to the ground, they were arrested.

At the end of the fight they found John was badly hurt on the ground and rushed to the hospital. The doctor had bad news that a blow to head isn't easy to recover from. This is where I ended reading, leaving three more chapters. Will John be able to make it? Gabe hopes John can make it through his injury, he can't do a show and make music without him.
