Synopsis:After suffering from an accident, a young man learns that he has been voted to be the Queen of the May by his fellow students.

Of course, we had to go to go for a walk round village. Well, in my case, I was being carried as my legs were getting tired, after which we returned home. Ms Platt would let the headmaster know how everything went and she would see us tomorrow.

Just after 4:PM. my brothers came running into house, all excited and were told to wait in the lounge quietly by Dad, he and Mum would be in to talk to them shortly. Dad came back into the kitchen to collect some soft drinks and with Mum carrying me, we went to join the boys.

Mum sat me in one of arm chairs making sure that my dress was lying flat and I was decent. Me, I was waiting for my brothers to start laughing, but they just stared at me.

After a couple of minutes, Bill the eldest came over kissed me on the cheek and said, "Welcome home sis."

He was followed by the twins: Peter and Jim who gave me a hug. I was just about make a comment, but saw Mum glaring at me, so said,"Thanks, brothers."

It was a bit unnerving with the boys looking at me all the time. They've always wanted a sister, but Mum and Dad stopped when she went through menopause.

Mum and Dad decided to go get dinner from the local fish and chip shop, leaving me alone with my brothers. After they left, Tom started to explain how I got elected as next years Queen of the May.

The student council had asked that the election not be held until I was back in hospital and the school agreed. When the headmaster asked why the students chairman said they wanted to hold a meeting with all the students first, but I wasn't to attend.

It all stemmed back to the summer holidays, it had been an unusually wet summer and the rivers and streams were swollen and fast running, somehow a toddler fell into the river and was being swept away. I was a bit downstream and jumped in after her and somehow got her close to the bank where we were both pulled onto the bank. How I managed it in leg braces even I didn't know. We were taken to hospital where she was kept in overnight and went home the next day with a clean bill of health.

I was to spend the next six weeks in hospital. At first, I had a bit of breathing difficulty which after a few days turned to pneumonia. Thanks to me being allergic to antibiotics, I almost died. The village had tried to do something special for me as a thank you, but I refused, saying it was no big deal. I thought that was end of it.

Anyway, the students took it into their own hands to honor my rescue, and it was voted unanimously that I would be next years Queen of the May.

"Why didn't they just get me a book token?"

My brothers just laughed.

I started to get angry, "Thanks a bunch! Because of a stupid idea, I was stuck in dresses for over a year!"

Bill said, "Calm down, it was a great honour."

Honour a ten year boy by sticking him in dresses for almost 17 months is no honour.

Mum and Dad came in with our meal. After we finished, the boys wanted to take me out for a walk. I started laughing at that, I wouldn't get ten yards. I forgot my wheelchair was still under the stairs until Peter dragged it out.

[*][*][*]

I was placed in the chair strapped in and off we went. We went to the cafe where a lot of kids hung out after school. We entered the cafe and found a empty corner table. Almost immediately, the girls swamped me and before I knew what was happening, they were putting makeup on me.

There was no laughter, snide comments or anything, everybody made me welcome, definitely not what I expected. Everybody was having a great time and making a fuss over me, even the boys. I started to relax until I needed to use the toilets. Yes, I was taken into ladies where I was made to do it like a girl.

[*][*][*]

We got home around 7:P.M. and I was bathed and put into bed. My legs were tired and aching a bit. I fell asleep, wondering what tomorrow would bring, surely it couldn't be worse than today.

It was about 9:A.M. when Mum got me out of bed and into the bath. It being Saturday, school was closed, and Dad was taking the boys to the watch the local football team. Once I was dressed, fed and watered, it was back into my wheelchair and into town where we were to make a day of it.

First stop was the village seamstress where they took all my measurements, I still wasn't happy about it all, but had been told not to make a fuss about it. Then it was to the city once we picked up a couple of the neighbours.

As luck would have it, somebody has a van that was fitted out for a wheelchair and Mum had borrowed it, she wasn't the best of drivers, so took her time. Me, I was glad to be out of those braces. Even though I in a wheelchair, I was looking forward to being able to walk again.

When it came to playmates I usually ended up playing with the girls, I`ll admit that I couldn't play hopscotch or skipping etc, so it was usually boardgames or dolls. But if I was on my own, I usually went for a bit of a walk or read a book. I had been wearing braces for 2 years after a tree fell on top of me after a bad storm and I ended up with shattered leg bones and muscle damage.
