College Fees - Chapter 9 by Susan Louise Montague

“I think she is passing out her teachers, she will have to give us fashion tips from now on,”

Chapter 9

Linda and Cindy were up early that Saturday morning, albeit feeling slightly hangover from the night before. Cindy had called a sleepy Linda bringing her very strong coffee to wake her up. She was insistent on Linda going to the beauty parlour early so she would have plenty of time to get ready for her dinner with Dave. Even though Linda went in her tracksuit, it was hard not to notice how feminine she looked in such a piece of androgynous clothing.

Both of them got facials and had manicures at the nail bar. And Cindy persuaded Linda to get a professional tan done so that the tone between her body and her false breasts would remain flawless and indiscernible.

After the pampering was over both girls came back and lounged around the house with the others watching TV for most of the afternoon. During the course of that evenings programmes a chat show came on and one of the guests was Candis Cayne, a stunning transsexual woman who was now a soap opera star. The girls couldn’t help but notice how engrossed Linda became in the programme while Candis was being interviewed about how she had changed her sex.

“Wow that’s amazing,” said Linda as the interview ended, “I didn’t even know that was possible.” She had spoken as much to herself as the girls; she had been so engrossed in the interview that she had almost forgotten their presence.

Pamela woke her from her daydream with a jolt, “Yeah it’s pretty amazing alright, but then who would think you are a boy. Maybe you might do like Candis someday!” she said with a jocular grin on her face.

“Once I get a break from my hectic schedule you won’t be mistaking me for a girl,” laughed Linda as she threw a cushion at Pamela.

“Well signing up for those shifts straight after college with Et du Fem isn’t going to give up much of a chance for doing anything as a boy. It will be summer break before you get a chance to let John out for a while.” Laughed Pamela

Cindy broke up the conversation with the announcement, “Linda, its 5:30, isn’t that guy picking you up a 7.30”

“OMG, I had better start getting ready.”

Linda retired to her bedroom to prepare for her date while the girls who were planning on eating in with a bottle of wine for the night stayed watching television and chatting.

“You really shouldn’t tease her like that Pamela,” said Susan

“Why she didn’t take it that badly, besides once she sorts out her diary she will be back in boy mode most of the time outside of work. Didn’t she say last night that she was just trying to perfect Linda mode over the next couple of weeks!” retorted Pamela.

“I guess you haven’t told her about this morning Cindy?” enquired Susan

“Oh sorry I didn’t get a chance because she was sitting with Linda all afternoon,” said Cindy

“Remember how Cindy gave Linda a packet of birth control pills a couple of weeks ago? “Said Susan

“Yeah, she didn’t seem too enthusiastic about them,” said Pamela.

“Well I went to bring her coffee in bed this morning to get her up for the beauty parlour and when I entered her room I accidently knock the box off the dressing table. She had carefully left it exactly where I had placed it day one so that I wouldn’t notice. Basically when I picked it up I noticed the seal had been broken and then replaced.”

“Yeah and then Cindy got nosey as usual and looked in the box to find that half the pills had been used,” said Susan.

“God knows what is going through that girls head right now, and I mean Girl with a capital G, she must be so confused having been a pretty normal college guy only a couple of weeks ago.” Said Cindy

“You know the way none of the four of us keep any secrets from each other,” continued Cindy, “so I went to the pharmacist while Linda was grabbing a coffee in the mall after our beauty session and told her about what happened this morning and apologised for being nosey. I placed another packet of pills in her purse in front of her and said they might come in handy if she decided to continue them.”

“So what did she say,” asked Pamela

“She said that she didn’t need them because she only decided to take the first packet to help her ‘think more like a girl’. But she didn’t make any attempt to make me take back the packet I placed in her purse either.” Said Cindy

“Maybe she was telling the truth,” suggested Pamela.

“Maybe,” said Cindy, “but after the first couple of days since John became Linda, well she has seemed so happy since, even if she doesn’t admit it. It’s like that chat show today, I knew that was on and deliberately put on that channel. Linda is so innocent of some things; I don’t think she even knew there was such a thing as a transsexual before today. And as for hormones well I just made them available to her. In case ye haven’t noticed she hasn’t made one excuse to go back to boy mode since our first makeover on her. I just want her to know that it’s possible to change sex if she ever should decide to do so.”

“Your right Cindy,” said Pamela, “she definitely seems to be happier since our makeover even if she had no inclination to be feminine before it. I guess it’s possible that it might have triggered something deep down inside that she had buried in her sub-conscious.”

“Of course the one thing I would say,” Said Susan, “is that Linda is a poor orphan who is desperately in need of money right now, she wasn’t exactly ecstatic about the idea and was willing to work flipping burgers before we persuaded her to have that makeover. “

“I guess what I am trying to say,” continued Susan “is that while giving her the pills is well intentioned on your part Cindy she could feel pressured into taking them; even believing that they are necessary to think like a girl to pull off her ‘deception’ at Et du Fem. Just promise me that if in six weeks time she has taken them all you won’t give her any more. She will come to you asking for them if she wants to continue and we will be able to sit her down and have a good chat about where she is taking all this, until then she is basically having a very new experience. Who knows when the novelty wears off she may well jack the whole girl mode in a flash if she finds a job she can work at as a guy.”

“Susan does have a point Cindy,” said Pamela

“Point made and accepted no more hormones and a good chat when she runs out if she looks for more. Besides she will have to ask because she doesn’t have a female registration with a doctor and she can’t get a prescription for the pill without a doctor accessing her medical records via her social security number.” Said Cindy

“True,” said Pamela, “good thing you get to work in payroll on Fridays in Et du Fem Susan or someone would have copped that Linda’s tax was registered as John pretty quickly. It is still the one thing I worry about if anyone in the office runs a social security check.”

“Don’t worry,” said Susan, “I do all the social security print outs in there and Fred the accountant never even looks at that system. Besides even if the auditors do sampling on that, which normally they don’t what are the odds on Linda being picked out of 600 employees.”

******************************************************************************
The girls had just finished their conversation when Linda arrived down looking more amazing than they had ever seen here before. She was wearing a tight fitting black satin dress that hugged every inch of a very womanly figure. The dress came below the knee but was very low cut, the bodice having it own cups so a bra wasn’t necessary. It had a beautiful delicate late detail above each breast and was held in place by two delicate shoulder straps.

She had her hair tied back and her makeup perfect showing off her sparkling diamonique earrings which she had teamed with her wrist watch. She didn’t wear a necklace as she figured the dress would draw enough attention to her breasts as it was. She had finished off the outfit with a pair of 5” red stiletto pumps and a matching red handbag. With the fresh tan from her visit to the beauty parlour showing on the rest of her body she was looking like a supermodel.

“Whoa, you look amazing,” said Susan, and the other two girls agreed with her.

“There is one guy out there tonight who is going to be proud as a peacock to be seen with a premium chick,” smiled Cindy.

“Where did you get that dress; it’s not one of the ones we bought on our shopping trip?” enquired Pamela

“I saw it in the mall the other day, and at the risk of sounding like I’m getting too much into this, I just had to have it. I knew it would suit me so well,” said Linda.

“You are certainly right on that note,” said Pamela

“I think she is passing out her teachers, she will have to give us fashion tips from now on,” said Susan

At that moment the door bell rang. It was 7:30 on the dot.

Linda went to answer the door but Susan grabbed her by the arm. “Get back up stairs quick, you can’t have a guy think that you will be ready on the dot for him. I will tell him you are still getting ready and don’t come down for 10 minutes.”

Linda went back upstairs like she was told and sat in her room which actually provided her with some quite time for reflection. She was actually quite nervous at the prospect of her dinner with Dave and she couldn’t understand why. Maybe it was that she was afraid their ‘friendship’ wouldn’t work out or was it that she was afraid the girls would think she was ‘dating’ him and that she was gay. ‘Uck,’ she thought, ‘I hope they don’t think I am actually dating a guy!’

As she passed the time in her room she looked down at how beautiful her feet were in the red stilettos. And she couldn’t help but glance at her overall appearance again in the mirror. ‘I really am very beautiful as a girl’ she thought, ‘how will I ever get used to being John again’.

She was on the verge of being honest with herself in her thoughts when she looked at her watch and realised it was a quarter to eight. She had left poor Dave waiting for 15 minutes. She tentatively walked out of her room and down the stairs to an awe struck Dave who had only a blurry remembrance of what she looked like for the nightclub and if his thoughts could be read was hoping she wouldn’t be too ugly as his beer goggles had deceived him on previous nights out!
“Hi Linda, you look very beautiful tonight, if I may say so,” said Dave

Linda looked both slightly embarrassed yet chuffed by his complement. Deep down inside she felt very beautiful and sexy at this moment, even if she was fully admitting it to herself.

He walked forward to greet her and gave her a peck on the cheek as he handed her a bouquet of red roses and a box of handmade chocolates.

“Why thank you Dave, they are beautiful, and I love chocolates,” said Linda, who felt obliged to give him a peck on the check as a thank you.

The girls were watching this and thinking that poor Linda was so easily charmed and clearly felt she had to repay every romantic gesture from a guy. Each one quietly thought to herself that despite all they had told her the night before about what to avoid she had already kissed him, albeit on the cheek and that was just for a few flowers and some chocolates. What would she feel obliged to do after dinner at La Grande.

But if truth be told the girls were positively jealous at this moment, both of his handsome good looks coupled with thoughtfulness to bring flowers and how captivated he was by the beautiful Linda. Even though they were very good looking he didn’t give them a second glance once Linda had arrived down.

Then Linda broke the next rule the girls had told her, don’t take his arm if he offers it, its leading him on, limit physical contact to a minimum if you want him for a friend and not something more. But it was too late as Dave led Linda who was linked in his arm out the door.
