Scene 11
Wednesday:
Wednesday morning I found myself waking to the alarm. I must have been tired last night. I remembered sitting on the couch, drinking my hot chocolate in front of a wonderful fire. I really enjoyed it.
Sandy and I both got ready for school. When we arrived, we found Ally and Darla, and made arrangements to meet at Jack's Diner after school. I told them Mrs. J would be meeting us there, and taking us to the dance store, later in the afternoon.
I was wearing trousers, blouse and a pullover, with some flats. I was getting used to seeing guys looking at me and smiling. Some of them even said good morning, I just smiled and returned the greeting. When I looked down the hall, I saw Amy and Bernie. Not wanting to yell to get their attention, I said, “Ally, Darla, hurry up. I want to catch up with Bernie and Amy before first period.”
We finally caught up with them and I started, “Bernie, Amy, how're you two doing?”
Bernie turned around saw me and said, “Hey Em, are you going to be able to come to Jack's tonight?” as she hugged me.
Amy looked at me and just smiled, then said, “Morning Em, so are you?” as she also gave me a hug.
“Yes, we'll be able to make it, but we can't stay long, we need to get some shopping done for Thursday. Mrs. J will be picking us up about an hour after we get there.”
“Fantastic Em. You look really great. I'm jealous; you look better than I do. You're going to steal all the good looking guys from us, tonight.”
I blushed. “Amy, don't worry, I'm not after the guys.”
“Oh, you mean your one of those, huh?” she started giggling.
“Huh? One of what?”
All four of them started to giggle, then it dawned on me what she meant, I blushed a bright red and then went to Ally, put my arm around her waist and said, “You're right.” making Ally blush, and I cracked up laughing.
We all roared with laughter at this.
“Listen guys, Sandy and I want to have a sleepover, and we want to invite our gang and their hosts to stay over at Sandy's. How does that sound?”
They all squealed, and said, “That would be wonderful. When do you want to have it and what time should we be there, if we can go?”
“Well, I'm not sure when we'll be back, from where ever they're taking us on Friday. But we're thinking, maybe Friday or Saturday night? So, it kind of depends on when we'll get back, and if we feel up to doing it after the trip. As for what time, how about we meet at around six thirty or seven o'clock? Does that sound like a good time to get together? I'll give you all directions on how to get to Sandy's later.”
Darla said, “Don't worry about the directions Em, we know where Sandy lives. She's a sweet girl, we like her a lot. We know she is a senior, but she never puts us down and she makes us feel good. Besides we always see her at Jack's. That time will be great. Listen, why don't we do it on Saturday and not worry about Friday night. We may all be to tired right after the trip.”
I smiled at them and said, “Ok, Saturday it is. Sandy and I will get ready for sleepover then. Yes, she's great, isn't she? I like her a lot. We have become like sisters. Her dad is a real prat, though; I wish I could make him realise how wonderful his daughter is. He's always putting her down. What a prat.”
Ally went, “You're kidding Em. Her dad is putting her down? Why?”
“Haven't a clue Ally. I wanted to hit him the other day, when he was doing it. He is so mean to her for some reason. Sandy doesn't deserve what he's been doing to her. Don't be surprised if he gets nasty when we have our sleepover party.”
“Are Sandy's parents going to be home, when you two have this?” Amy asks.
“Yes they will, but Sandy has her own place, and it isn't attached to her parent's house. It's a huge carriage house that's behind her parent's house. It is big enough for all of us.” I said.
“What about Maddy, Sabrina, Britney, Drew, Jules and Debbie?” Bernie asked.
“They're all invited, if they can make it. I'll see Maddy and Sab in Geography, but I haven't seen Drew or Brit in school yet. Have any of you?” I asked.
“I have Sabrina and Maddy in homeroom, and then Brit and Drew in English, Em.” Bernie said. “I am sure Drew can ask her sister and Debbie.”
“Could you give them the message about the sleepover?”
“Sure no problem.” Bernie said.
“Well let me know if they can make it.”
“Maddy, Sab, Brit, Drew, Jules, and Debbie eat lunch after us.” Bernie said.
“No wonder we didn't see them yesterday.” I said as I sighed. “Hmmm I wonder if we will run into them this afternoon. We have Music as our last class today.”
“No we won't, Em. The only class I got, that Britney is in, is Gym, tomorrow. I doubt we will see them before then, other than tonight at Jack's, or on the trip on Friday. I guess we will not be seeing much of either of them.”
“I was looking forward to seeing Drew. Well I guess that's the way it's going to be.” I wondered how he was holding up.
Ally looked at me and said, “Em, are you alright?”
“Huh? Oh yea, I guess I'll be all right, just missing Drew, is all. Just wondering how he's doing.”
“She!”
“What?”
“She! How SHE is making out. You said he.”
“Oh Blimey, I better watch that hadn't I. You're right, how SHE is making out.” Looking around to make sure no one heard that.
“Why is Drew being Gaby anyway guys?” Amy asked us.
“Well it's a long story. To make it short, let's just say, Drew needs to be Gaby, as I need to be Em. We were both asked to participate in the cheer competition, later in the month. We agreed to do it, not realizing what that meant, at the time. After we agreed to do it, we realized it had to be Gaby and Em in the competition.”
“If Drew and Rhod came over, then Gaby and Em just happen to show up for the competition, the older kids in our group would know something was up and we would be dead meat back home. Besides, how would it look if Em and Gaby both disappeared, right after the competition? Especially when we will be working with the American cheerleaders.”
“How would we get the practice time with the rest of our cheer squad? Granted, everyone that's here in our cheer squad, knows about us. They were the ones that got us to agree to do it in the first place. But what about the American cheer squad? They would figure something was not right. Two English girls would appear for practice and then they disappear right after each practice, not seen by anyone.”
“Mr. P and Miss C, our chaperones decided that it would be a good idea, if both of us stayed female during school. Then there would be no questions asked.”
“The older kids saw us as girls anyway, for they really didn't know us, and my story about Rhod not showing up worked. I think the older kids always saw Drew as a female anyway, and they didn't think anything of it. Remember last year when you girls had Drew in those tops and skirts? Well, I'm sure they figured Drew was definitely a girl, but a tomboy.”
“When we came over, Drew was wearing his Gaby jeans and top and had on Gaby's trainers, so everyone took him for a girl. I am not sure why he dressed like that though.”
“I dressed in unisex clothes on purpose, because I wanted to be taken for a girl, but knew I had to be careful as I still needed to look male enough to clear Customs.”
“Since our passports show both of us as male, Drew and I got funny looks coming through Customs when we arrived. That was a bit scary.”
“They did allow us through, obviously, because we're here.”
“Soon after we all cleared Customs, Mr. P and Miss C both started calling us by our female names, loud enough for the other older kids to hear. Drew and I were wondering why. The older kids looked a bit puzzled but shrugged their shoulders and said nothing. We found out, this was to protect us from them. They just think we are two girls.”
“When we arrived here, Britney and Debbie had conveniently forgotten to tell their parents Drew was a boy. They had so many pictures of Drew dressed as a girl, the Walter's olds assumed Drew was a girl. Britney knew if their parents found out that Drew was a boy, he would not have been allowed to stay with them. Their Olds would have been very upset, that their girls stayed in a boys home, in England.”
“Please make sure the Walter's olds never find out who Drew really is, it could go bad for hi … er, as well as for Miss Bell and our school back home.”
“That's how Drew got stuck full time as a girl. He was hoping he would only have to be a girl at school, but could be Drew, male child, at Chez Walters. It just didn't happen. Drew is not happy about the situation, but he is going to stick it out. Please be gentle with him, ok?”
“No problem Em, we don't have a problem with either of you being girls, we know we can trust you both, and we'll be very protective of you both. I would like to know why YOU really want to become a girl though.” Amy asked.
“I'll tell you later, ok. I promise.”
“I want to hear this too Em.” Darla stated.
“I promise, I'll tell the whole gang. You supporting me like this means a lot, and I thank you for giving me that support. Most people appear to be homophobic and hate people like us, like Dan. Had you guys not accepted me, I'd have been in real trouble.”
All the girls came over to me and gave me a big hug. I started to tear up. The homeroom bell rang and we had to run to make it to the classroom on time.
The usual announcements, the standing of the pledge thingy, a little chitchat, then school commenced.
Classes were like yesterday; I liked all of them. It's really different taking classes as a girl. I never noticed how teachers treat you nicer. I noticed that the guys were starting to become bolder. They were coming up to us and introducing themselves to us. They were really starting to chat us up. Some of them wanted to know where we were from and if we had boyfriends. I started to laugh. It was neat to be at the center of attention. Some posturing happened when the bigger and stronger guys would push the smaller ones out of the way. Ally and I didn't really care for these guys and we told them so. I heard some of them say “Stuck up English Bit…” well you know what I mean.
Anyway, the morning went without incident. We went to lunch and we ended up sitting at the same table with all the other girls, as the day before. The talking was a lot more animated then it was yesterday, it seemed that the girls were getting used to us and they treated us like long time friends. We talked about the spring fashions, hair, boys, makeup, more boys, gossip, clothing, boys, dating, and more boys. It was a fun experience.
The afternoon session went much the same as yesterday. We got a chance to talk about the sleepover, on Saturday, with Sab and Maddy before class. Maddy said, “We need to ask if that's ok, we'll get back with you as soon as we know.”
Maddy then said, “Is it still ok with Sandy, that Sab, Gaby, Brit and I ride with you tonight, when we go to Jack's, after school?”
I said, “Yes we're counting on it, Ally and Darla will be going with Amy and Bernie. I guess one of Debbie's friends has an car and she'll be taking them and any others that want to go.”
“Great, we'll meet you out by the car park then.” Maddy told me.
“Ok see you later.” as the teacher called the class to order.
The last class today was Music class. I had no clue what we would be doing in this class. Darla told us, “This class is music appreciation. We will be listening to different types of music. Then we discuss the composers that wrote the music, when and why they wrote it, then who directed it when it was preformed. It is a load of information I really couldn't care less about, but I thought it would been an easy grade. Was I ever wrong. Don't worry though; you're only sitting in on it, so you really do not need to know all of this stuff.”
We got introduced to the class like all of the other classes, as yesterday. We sat and listened to what was going on. We ended up listening to Carmen, the opera by Bizet. It was interesting hearing the history of the opera and what was going on. I rather enjoyed the class, actually.
We went and got our coats after the class, stopped in the loo to check our make-up and headed for the car park.
Ally gave me a hug and said, “I'll meet you at Jack's.” as she and Darla headed over to Amy and Bernie's ride in a good size people carrier.
When I got over to the car, I saw Drew and Britney walking towards me, and then saw Maddy and Sab leave the building, jogging towards them, yelling for them to slow down. When they arrived at the car, I went over to give Drew, Brit, Maddy and Sab a hug and told Drew and Sab, “I miss you guys. I wish we would at least see each other once a day.”
Drew seemed a little stiff as I hugged him, but he returned it just the same and said, “Wotcha Em.”
We chatted for a bit like only girls could. Gaby was pretty quiet for some reason as he watched us talking away.
We waited for Sandy, when I finally saw her leave the building, by the front entrance. She was smiling when she got to the car and opened it for us. I introduced her to Drew and Maddy, and she already knew Sabrina and Britney.
Sandy said, “So Drew, Maddy, are you two twins?”
“No were cousins Sandy, we get that all the time.” Maddy stated, as she giggled.
Drew looked a bit uncomfortable with that. Then he said, “Just call me Gaby, Sandy.”
I asked Sandy, “So what's on the agenda for this afternoon?”
“Well I just got done talking with mom, and she will be over to pick us girls up in about an hour. We will go in her car, since it is a tad bigger than mine, and she will take us to the dance shop, so we can get Ally's and your outfit for Gym.”
“Did you see what we have to wear for PE, Em?”
“Not really Gaby, but that's why we have to leave Jack's early tonight, so I can pick something up for tomorrow. PE is my last class.”
“Britney is loaning me one of her outfits for PE, It's a yellow leotard thing with white tights. You being there, means I'll not be alone in PE.”
“Hey, what are you talking about Gab, I have Gym tomorrow at the same time, so will Maddy.” Sab said.
“I'm there too.” Britney stated indignantly.
“Ally, Darla, Bernie and Amy will be there too, Drew.” I stated
“Wow you mean we will all have the same class for a change?” Drew asked.
“Looks like it, Gab.” I said.
Britney said, “Em, you do realize you have to get a leotard, tights and dance shoes, don't you?”
“Yes, Darla told me. Sandy tells me that the dance shop is the best place to pick those things up, that they have a good selection to choose from. They close at six, so we have to leave Jack's early to make it on time. Ally needs to get her kit also, so she is coming with us.”
I noticed Drew looking at me kind of funny, and then at Sandy. I wonder what he is thinking about. Oops I mean what SHE is thinking about, I have to watch that, I need to think of him as a she at all times or I may slip up without knowing it. I saw her shaking her head out of the corner of my eye as she was looking at me.
“Do you have your kit, Mad?”
“Yep, some of us brought those things with us! Brit, told me to bring them.”
“How're your parents doing Drew?”
“Umm … not bad Em.”
“Are they still together?”
“Um … yes Em, for the moment they're together.”
“That's good, isn't it?”
“Yeah, sure. You're right. That's a good thing.”
I saw Maddy grab Drew's hand and she gave it a soft squeeze. Hmm, it seems there is more to this than what Drew is telling. I mean, his mother just up and leaving the family high and dry like she did. That's absolutely horrible.
We had to cut our talk short, as we arrived at Jack's Diner and there was quite a gang there already. When we entered the diner, Sandy looked around and told me to go with my friends. She went into the back of the diner, to put on her uniform. Yesterday she told me she didn't have to work. I wonder what's up?
She came back a short time later dressed in her outfit and she was waiting on us and took our orders.
While we were waiting, one of the girls started talking about cheerleading, some of the other girls I hadn't really met before, started talking excitedly about the up coming competition. I looked over at Drew and I saw he was pretty quiet, looking around the diner. I noticed some policemen came in and got some doughnuts and a cup of coffee, the place was quite a bit more crowded than last night. A lot of the olds were circulating around the diner talking with the other teens, interesting. I noticed that Diane and Derek were just arriving and I saw that Gaby noticed them too. I swear, I saw Drew drooling and wishing he were over by them, to chat them up. That was his element. We could hear what was being said, so I didn't need to tell Drew who they were. Diane saw me and waved to me and went back to talking with Derek. I assumed she figured we were busy since we had several tables pushed together and everyone was talking at once.
All of a sudden Sab pulled Drew out of his seat and into an open space on the floor, as Ally and Britney yanked me out of mine. Bernie and Maddy followed and I realized we were being asked to do a Forester impromptu cheer. We decided to do our standard cheer. We went through all of the motions except for the last move, which was the splits. We all stayed up, except for Gaby, she went right down on the floor doing the splits. I think she realised none of us did ours too late to stop. I saw her turning crimson from embarrassment. I chuckled and helped her up and she timidly got into her seat and took a sip of her drink.
I looked at her and said, “Show off.”
The rest of the people in the diner applauded us for our cheer.
I heard Diane say, “Goodbye, Sandy. Bye Jack, take care we'll see ya later.”
I heard Sandy say, “Take care Diane, Derek, see you tomorrow.” Diane and Derek got up and left to head home. I saw Drew looking out the window wishing he was with them riding. I guess he was also admiring their bikes.
I saw Mrs. J arrive, and I waved to her. She saw me and waved back , then asked, “Sandy, are you ready to go?”
“I'll hurry and change clothes mom, be done in a jiff.”
I also heard Britney tell Drew, “Hurry up Drew, Dad will be here in 5 minutes.”
“Ok Brit, I'm just about done.”
Mrs. J came over and said, “Hi Em, you girls ready to go?”
“Just a moment, I want to go to the loo first, if that's ok?”
“Certainly Em. Sandy is changing clothes, so she'll be a bit yet.”
“I turned to Ally and Darla and asked them, “You guys ready to go? I am going to the loo to freshen up. You want to come?”
“Sure Em, I need to freshen up too.” Ally stated.
“Me too Em.” Darla said.
So the three of us grabbed our bags and left for the ladies bog. “Wow did you see those guys at the pool table while we were cheering? Their eyes about bugged out of their heads. There was one looking at you very hard Em. You better watch yourself or you'll have a boyfriend before you even realize it.”
“Ally! Give o'er, don't tease me like that.”
“Who's teasing Em?”
I gave her a hard stare. Was she pulling my leg?
We went into the loo and realized it was not all that big, so we ended up fighting to get to the mirror. I went into one of the two stalls in the room and did my business, while Ally and Darla were touching up their makeup. When I came out, both of them were finished, so I washed my hands and touched up my makeup.When we left the loo, one of the boys, that had been playing billiards on the pool table, was waiting for us to come out.
He looked right at me and said, “Hiya babe. My name's Rob. What's yours?”
“Ahhhh … um … hi. Ah … it's Em.” Looking at Ally for help, she just smiled and kept on walking. “Look, I don't want to be rude but I have to go, my ride is waiting for me.”
“Oh sure Em, no problem. You're really a purdy gal, be seeing you around then, … Em?” as he winked at me, then gave me one of those lopsided smiles. He had to be at least 17. Who did he think he was? He walked back to the pool table and the others were hooting and hollering at him.
I turned red as a beet, as I tried to walk nonchalantly towards the gang. That shook me up.
“You ok Em?” Ally whispered to me.
“Ah … yea, sort of. That was really creepy Ally.” I whispered back to her.
“Get used to it Em, they think they're cool doing that to you. He likes you a lot. That was the guy I was telling you about.”
“You're kidding, I thought you were having me on.”
“Nope my lesbian lover, you. I wasn't having you on at all, I was very serious. Now you know how we girls feel when guys come on to us like that to try and chat us up.”
“That was one creepy experience.”
We got our coats on and collected our stuff, and we went over to where Mrs. J was standing.
“We're waiting for Sandy to finish, then we will get going, girls.”
Gaby and the others had already left. Gaby was really quiet tonight. I wonder what was up with him. I mean her, geeze. I wonder how her parents are really doing. Are they still together or are they split again?
Sandy arrived and we headed out to Mrs. J's car. Sandy let me get in the front seat, while she sat in the back seat with Darla and Ally.
“Sandy, I thought you didn't need to work tonight?” I said.
“Well I didn't, but I saw we were slammed, so I decided to help out.”
“Slammed?”
“Yes, that's when we get really busy, with a lot of people showing up all at once.”
“Oh, ok. By the way, the girls all thought that Saturday would be a good night to have the sleepover.”
“What sleepover?” Mrs. J asked.
“Well, Sandy and I thought it would be great to get the gang from England over and their hosts, for a sleepover so everyone gets acquainted. All the girls think it's a great idea. Since Sandy has the place all to herself, we thought it would be best if we had it here, since we wouldn't be disturbing anyone.”
I could see Mrs. J looking at Sandy through the rear-view mirror with a look of worry. I bet, I am sure, she was worried about it herself, but she knew her husband wouldn't be happy with it at all.
Sandy said, “Sounds great Em, lets plan for it then. We probably better do some more grocery shopping for it though. I doubt I have enough to feed everyone at the moment.”
“I told them to be there between six thirty, and seven PM, is that alright?”
“As far as I know it is.” Mrs. J really had a worried look on her face at this point. I wondered what she was worried about. About the sleepover and Sandy, OR about her husbands reaction when he finds out?
Mrs. J piped in, “Sandy, do you think it's a wise idea?”
“Sure why wouldn't it be? It will be a fun night.”
“We'll talk about it more later, all right?”
Sandy looked at her mom and hesitantly said, “Um … ok mom, later.”
It looked like Sandy deflated a bit; I could see a worried look on her face.
We arrived at the dance store. We all got out of the car and went inside. The first thing I noticed were all of the leotards and dance costumes hanging up all over the place. There were stiff, skirty things, I think they're called tutu's, you know those big stiff circular thingys, that a ballet dancer wears when they are doing Swan Lake or something.
In one corner I could see all kinds of shoes and slippers of some sort, some having long ribbons on them with super flat toes. There was a counter in the other corner, with a cash register on it, and a glass display case. I looked into the display case and found all kinds of strange things and makeup in the case. Some of the things, I wasn't sure what they were. I saw breast forms on one side of the display; they really looked real like Gab's, wow would I love to own a pair like those. I saw latex makeup, in the other corner of the case, in all sorts of colors. I wonder what that's used for?
While I was looking around, I heard a woman come out of the back of the store and I heard her exclaim, “Is that you, Mary Jones?”
“Ellen, how are you? I haven't seen you in over six years. When did you move here?”
“I moved here about a year ago. I didn't know you were living here. So how is that husband of yours? Is he still as bad as ever?”
“John is doing well, he works out of Waynesboro, and he is head of the sales department for a major software manufacture there.”
“How is that beautiful son of yours doing?”
At this statement, I turned to look at Mary and saw her blanche, she got very nervous all of a sudden. I saw Sandy go white as well. Mrs. J said, “Oh he is doing well. Kevin is really growing up.” Looking nervously in my direction, hoping I didn't think something was wrong.
“Kevin? I thought his name was Adam?”
“Um no it is definitely Kevin.” as she smiled, and gave a nervous giggle. “Do you remember my daughter Sandy Ellen? Sandy this is Ellen Burke, We went to college together, we were roommates.” as she pulled Sandy closer to her.
“I didn't know you had a daughter, Mary. My, my, she is the spitting image of you dear. She is so lovely.” Ellen was looking at Mary in a funny sort of way.
Sandy put a nervous smile on her face. “Thank you for saying that Mrs. Burke.”
“Mary, could I talk to you in private for a moment.” Still having a smile on her face.
“Sure Ellen.”
Ellen led Mary to her office, with Mary looking very nervous, and taking a glance at Sandy.
I walked over to Sandy and said quietly, “Are you ok?”
Sandy looked at me, then at the others that were looking at things in the far corner talking to each other. “I think she knows. She is a very old friend of the family. When we moved here, we lost track of her. That was over 6 years ago. She knows there was no Kevin then, so she wouldn't know anything about him. It was just Adam at the time. There was no daughter. At least not my age.” Sandy looked nervously back to the office.
Knowing I had to do something to get Sandy's mind off of the situation, I said to her, “Well let's get shopping, shall we? What color leotards do you think I should get?” as I pulled her with me, to a rack with leotards on them.
We started to look in earnest. “Here is one Em, this shiny blue would look good on you. Get dark blue or white tights and they should go well together.”
I looked at them and I liked what I saw. About this time the office door opened and Mary was smiling and her friend Ellen was too. Mary looked around the shop and saw where Sandy and I were. They both came over to us and Mary introduced me to her. “Em, this is Ellen Burke, she was my college roommate back when I was in College. She took psychology as a major, and hoped to help in school counseling, but is now doing retail. Ellen this Mfanwy Morgan from Warsop England, our foreign exchange student that's staying with us.”
“Pleased to meet you Ellen.”
“Pleased to meet you Mfanwy.” As she looked at me up and down, and appraised how I looked.
“This is my daughter Sandy, as I introduced her before.” Mary said.
Ellen went over to Sandy and gave her a big hug and I saw her whisper something in her ear. I couldn't hear what was being said, but I saw relief come over Sandy's face and she beamed back at Ellen and gave her a bigger hug. Mary also beamed at the two. Mary looked a lot more relaxed and herself, like she was relieved about something.
Mary took Ellen over to the other two girls and introduced them to Ellen.
I looked at Sandy and I saw the relief on her face and whispered, “What did she say?”
Sandy whispered back to me, “She knows who I am or used to be, and she said I was beautiful. She said that I was always too beautiful to be a boy, and thought I should've been a girl from the start. She also said she would take my secret to the grave and if I ever needed someone to talk with, she was here for me. Her ex-husband is a post-op TS and is now living as a complete woman, and they are now good girlfriends.”
“Wow, who would've thought that.” as I looked at Ellen with new respect.
Ellen came back over to us and said, “How can I help you ladies today?”
Sandy said, “Well Em needs a gym outfit. She needs leotard, tights, sports bra, leg warmers, sweatband, and dance slippers, the type used for aerobics and gymnastics.”
“Hmm let's see what we can do for you Mfanwy.”
“Please call me Em, Mrs Burke.”
“Only if you call me Ellen, Em.”
“Deal, Ellen.”
“Come with me Em, I have a few leotards in mind that will look good on you.” She appraised me, and then turned towards the rack and picked off a few leotards, including some two-piece types. Then took me over to the counter and pulled up tights to match the suits. Then she took me over to the changing rooms, “Here take these things in with you and try them on. These tights will go with this leotard, and these will go with those and these with that one, ok? Let me know when you get your first one on, so I can see it. Do you need help?”
“No I should be ok.”
I opened up the package of tights for the first set. I put them on and tucked myself well. I put my first leotards on, and found it had a built in bra that was padded, it made my breasts look bigger and it looked smooth like I wasn't wearing a bra. I was less thrilled when I looked down below and saw it really didn't hide things very well. It would be hard to hide my package down below easily. This outfit made me look like I was naked except for the color. It really looked good, and I loved what I was seeing. But I need something to help me down below.
While I was pondering this problem, and before I could say anything, Ellen came in and looked at me.
“Em that looks good on you.” Seeing me embarrassed, she leaned into me and said in a whisper, “Em, I know you are a boy”
I was shocked and I visibly jumped and almost shrieked. I looked at her in terror. I think my heart really stopped at this point. What am I going to do? I just stared at her with big, wide, open eyes. I am sure my mouth was wide open also. I could have died right there. What can I do?
