Chapter 2
 
“Hey sis, do you like the new wig?” Kelly asked, as she put on one of her sister's skirts.

“I love it. I bet you had to rake a lot of yards to get me this didn’t you?” Katie adjusted and fixed the very real looking wig over her head.

“There I look like a normal girl again!” she smiled while objectively looking herself over in the mirror.

“Sis, you are a normal girl even without the wig.” Kelly said as she stood beside her twin sister.

“You know most girls don’t have a bald head right?” Katie asked.

“You know I hate it when you run yourself down like that.” Kelly said in a stern but kind way.

“I know sis, but I..”

“No buts! You are just as normal as any other girl out there and as soon as your over this and you grow your real hair back like it used to be, I’ll braid it for you. Okay?”

Tears welled up in Katie's eyes.

“I love you sis.” Katie breathed out, choked with emotion.

Kelly hugged her from behind.

“So what do you want to do today? Hmm? Mom and dad won‘t be home till late.” asked Kelly.

Katie smiled, enjoying her sister's hug. “I’m not feeling too good today. Can we just watch TV together?”

“Sure. Let's go.”
 
 
The two walked to the den and sat down to watch TV. After awhile, Kelly got up to go to the bathroom. As soon as as she sat down on the toilet, she just sighed at that horrid thing between her legs.

“One day,” she thought.

She was almost finished when she heard Katie yell for her!

Kelly quickly wiped and pulled her slacks back up tripping as she ran. Katie was coughing and dry heaving on her knees on the floor as she made it to her side.
 
 
Buzz! buzz! buzz!

Randy smacked his alarm off.

He groaned as he looked over at his night stand. Tears were already trickling down his cheek when he saw his sister’s bright smile in the picture beside his bed. The dreaming of that final day always haunted him. He clenched his fist in anger and started to wipe away his tears.

As he prepared for school, Randy thought about his little excursion yesterday as his true self. Kelly had started out as a joke to give his twin sister a laugh after Katie had said she wished she had a sister to do girl things with. Randy became Kelly to get closer with his sister. After awhile, the acting wasn't acting anymore. Kelly had found that being a girl had felt natural to him. It was trying to act as a boy that was becoming bothersome. Somehow, he had become Kelly and didn't know when he had really become her and Randy became the daily disguise.

After Katie di... was gone... Randy had to shut Kelly away.

Those feelings of being free and being herself were still just as strong as they were back then. She couldn't deny them anymore. She had finally let them out for the first time in a long time that Saturday. Freedom! The only thing she didn’t count on was running into the boy she not only has had a crush on all along, but has been torturing for the past year as her boy self. Things were getting complicated.

Randy got dressed and put his contacts in. Grabbing his book bag, he then headed off to school.

He made it to the bus stop early. When the school bus arrived, he boarded it and went to the back to sit with his friends Toby and Butch.

Toby was a lot taller than Randy, but then again, most people were taller then him. Toby had short black hair and green eyes and was as mean as a school bully could come.

Butch, whose real name was Juan, was a quiet Hispanic kid with dyed bright red and blue hair. He wasn’t that mean and sometimes he could even be called a good kid. But he ran with Toby and Randy, so other people would not pick on him.

“Yo Randy! What’s up?” Toby greeted him.

“Same shit, different day” Randy replied, squirming slightly to make sure he was acting like he normally did as a boy.

“So, what you going to do over the Thanksgiving Holiday week?” Toby asked.

Randy knew that Kelly was going to be out and about a good bit because his mom, who is a nurse, has to work all this week, then gets the next week off.

“I’ve got to go visit my kin folks out of town,” Randy made up on the fly.

“Me too man.” Toby felt all bummed out. “Dangit! Just what I want to do with a week off... go and visit my dads folks!” Toby would truthfully rather being doing anything but!

“I know what you mean guys,” said Butch. “Me and my family are going to New Mexico for the whole week to visit my grandparents, so I wont be able to hang out either.”

The boys talked until they arrived at school, and then they went their separate ways to class.
 
 
Randy was walking down the hall when he saw him! Tommy was putting his things into his locker. Nervous and fearing that Tommy would recognize him, Randy turned his head away from Tommy and looked away to the other side of the hallway as tried to walk on by.

Tommy glanced up and sighed. “Hey Randy.”

Randy froze on the spot and stared right at Tommy. He didn’t know what to do! Inside he was panicking and on the verge of running away. “Oh my god! Does he recognize me??” Randy fearfully thought.

“Here’s your cash,” Tommy said as he pulled out some bills and placed a folded $10 bill into Randy's hand.

Randy glanced down at the money as Tommy pushed the bill into his hand and sort of curled Randy's fingers around it. Randy then looked back up at Tommy and tried think of what to say.

“Thanks dweeb! I guess you won’t get beaten today.” Randy said as he took the money and shoved it down into his pants pocket.

The funny thing is, other than pushing and shoving, Randy had never laid a hand on Tommy. But, he threatened him all the same.

“Get out of here!” he growled and Tommy walked off.
 
 
Randy waited until Tommy was around the corner before looking around to make sure no one was looking. He knew the code to unlock Tommy’s locker so he opened it.

Unzipping Tommy’s backpack, he pulled out the money that Tommy had given him and stuffed the folded $10 bill back inside at the bottom of Tommy's backpack and zipped it shut.

He then closed the locker door and hurried off to class.
 
 
Tommy wasn't all that upset about losing the ten bucks. He was on cloud nine thinking about his upcoming date with Kelly. His head was so far in the clouds, he didn’t realize his buddy Joe was talking to him as he was walking along until Joe tapped him on the arm.

“Tom what gives?” Joe asked.

“Oh! Hey Joe. I'm sorry, I didn’t see you there.” Tommy seemed a little off.

“What’s up man?” Joe asked.

“Dude... I think I’m in love.” Tommy admitted with a goofy grin.

“Really? With who?”

“Her name's Kelly. I just met her Saturday and we spent the entire day hanging out at the theme park!”

“Is she good looking?” Joe asked.

“She’s the best looking girl I have ever seen in my life!!” Tommy almost floated off the ground when he said that.

“She must be hot if she’s got you acting like this man.” Joe said.

“She is!” Tommy admitted. “And funny to. We’re gonna hang out some more this next Saturday. I can hardly wait!!!”

“Well if you can, get me some pic’s alright?”

“I’ll try man.” Tommy said.
 
 
That night, while Tommy was doing the last of his homework before he went to bed, he reached into his backpack to get a notebook. When he pulled it out, a folded ten dollar bill pulled out with it and dropped to the floor. Tommy bent down and picked it up. “Now where the heck did this come from?” he wondered.
 

 
The rest of the week flew by and Tommy was a little surprised. Randy hadn’t messed with him at all!! Even though he noticed that Randy had been staring at him during school, Tommy hadn't put much thought into it.
 
 
“Today’s the day!” thought Tommy as he put on his best jeans and a plain blue car heart t-shirt. He even went to get his hair cut too! He really wanted to look good for Kelly.

At twelve noon, Tommy stood by the gate to the park. He was thinking about what he wanted to do with Kelly when he felt someone tap him on his shoulder.

He turned to see Kelly standing there in a simple yellow sun dress and flip-flops as well as her shy smile.

“Hey, what’s up?” Kelly softly greeted him.

“Wow!” Tommy blurted in surprise as he saw how beautiful she was. He eyed her in up and down. He could see her standing there sort of blushing under his stare. “I mean... nothing much. What would you like to do?”

“I thought you might want to do something today,” she nervously said, trying to break through the awkwardness. Kelly was still scared somewhat that Tommy might discover who she was, but the thrill of someone actually liking her and wanting her was something new and frightening at the same time. His looking at her made her feel both nervous and delighted.

“You want to go to a movie? My treat?” Tommy offered.

“Sure. What would you like to go see?” Kelly asked.

“Well... What would you like to see”? Tommy bounced the question back to her. Kelly then knew Tommy was thinking of her first, so to avoid a long "ping-pong play" of the question, she decided, “Well the movies are all the same price, so if we bought one ticket to a movie we’re old enough to see, it won’t be stealing if we go and see that new movie Faster with The Rock in it!” she slyly said with a smile on her face.

“Won’t they check once the movie starts?” Tom wondered.

“They do, but they never check the very top seating rows.”

“Ok then Faster it is.” Tommy said, knowing that he had been wanting to see that movie too.
 
 
They walked the four blocks from the park gate to the theater. There, they bought two tickets for the new Disney movie, and once out of sight of the ticket taker in the theater lobby, they went to the theater room playing the movie they wanted to see.

“This is exciting!” Tommy whispered.

“Yeah! That’s why I like doing it.” Kelly giggled.

The movie started and they both watched as The Rock paced back and forth in his cell.

While they watched, Tommy’s hand slid over to Kelly’s. Before he even got halfway, Kelly grabbed his hand and held it giving him a squeeze. He looked at her and she was smiling.

At some point in the movie Kelly had to go to the bathroom.

She stood up and whispered, “I'll be right back.”
 
 
After a few minutes, Tommy realized all that soda had made him have to go to, so he got up and left.

He was walking down the hall when he heard a commotion from around the corner.

Kelly had just come out of the bathroom, when a group of older boys come up and started harassing her.

The one who seemed to be the leader, was a black kid named Tony. He and his group of misfit friends, three in all, were only a year or two older than Kelly, but were a lot bigger because of her small size.

“You got some pretty lips girl. Maybe you and I can go back behind the building and then you can show me if your any good with them!” he jeered. Then both he all his friends laughed.

Kelly knew she would be in trouble if they got her back there. She saw a large gap between them and was fixing to jab him in the jaw then make a break for the ticket counter, when she heard “Let her go asshole!!”

She turned to see Tommy standing there. There was something different about him though.

“What da hell did you just call me honky”!! Tony snarled.

“I said LET-HER-GO.” Tommy calmly and fiercely commanded. He didn’t stutter like he sometimes did and stood his ground, showing absolutely no fear at all.

“He’s gonna get his ass kicked!!!” Kelly thought to herself as her eyes went wide in fear.

“If you let her go this instant, I’ll let you walk away. This is your only chance.” Tommy said.

“Oh Really?” Tony incredulously doubted as he grabbed Tommy who was an inch or two shorter by his shirt.

“What you gonna do if I don’t?” Tony grinned right in Tommy's face.

“This!” Tommy stated.

And before Tony could react, Tommy was already behind him with his arm locked in a painful vice-like grip! Tony’s friends tried to move in to help him but stopped when Tommy iterated, “One more move to help him and I’ll snap his arm.” Tony winced as Tommy slightly lifted his arm to show he wasn’t kidding. "...Then I'll come for the two of you."

The other boys backed away. Tommy let go and kicked Tony toward his friends. Then they all went running out of the theater.
 
 
Kelly was shocked!! The boy who her boy self had been pushing around was a grade-A ass kicker!!

“Are you okay”? Tommy asked as he grasped Kelly's hand.

“Yeah...ummm wow! Thanks!” Kelly flushly felt a wave of relief. She did not want to get involved in a fight and be exposed. Not in front of Tommy! And he really knew some moves! It made Kelly doubt that her boy self could have really ever beaten him in a fight, not that she would have ever wanted to in the first place.

“I think we’ve missed most of our movie,” Tommy said, disappointed. “What do you say we go get something to eat?”

“Sure, there’s a Wendy’s right down the street.” she said.
 
 
They both sat down at a table in Wendy's and started to unwrap their orders.

Still in awe of Tommy's fighting prowess, Kelly asked him, ‘Where did you learn to fight like that?”

“My dad. He taught me.” Tommy looked a little sad.

“Does he teach fighting?” Kelly asked, genuinely interested.

“He... He died two years ago.” Tommy admitted.

“Oh my god! I’m sorry. I really am. I didn’t mean to upset you.” She reached over and grasped his left hand with both of hers.

“It’s fine. You didn’t know.” he said while letting a sad smile come across his face.

“My dad was a member of a biker gang.” Tommy said.

Kelly's jaw dropped. “He was??”

“My dad tried getting out of the gang, but the only way of getting out was death” Tommy said.

Kelly put her hand up, “It’s okay. You don’t have to talk about it. Let's just eat and forget I ever mentioned that.”

Kelly looked up at his face while she took a small bite from her burger. Tommy's eyes held a deep sadness.

“No... you need to know about me.” Tommy decided. He continued, “I was a bad kid when I was younger. I used to fight and bully people all the time.”

Kelly coughed, as she partially choked on her bite, upon hearing that Tommy could have ever been anything like her boy self was.

“I wanted to be just like my dad though - a tough biker guy! But then...” Tommy was letting tears drip from his eyes. “...When I saw my dad in that hospital bed...”

He was starting to cry.

Kelly swallowed her burger bite and stopped eating.

“The last thing my dad said to me was: Son I want you to be a better man then me. I don’t want you to travel down the roads that I have. You’re a good kid and I love you. Promise me you’ll never fight! Never, unless your’s or someone you care about’s life is in danger.”

“I promised him that I would be a good person and not follow in his footsteps.” Tommy said as he sipped his drink. "That's why I don't fight unless I have to. I also don't want people knowing that I can fight either, because then they'll start picking them with me."

Kelly took another bite and sipped her soda. “My dad and sister are gone too.”

“They are? What happened?” Tommy asked.

“My dad died when I was little, so I never knew him. But my.... si..sister... she died of cancer... two years ago.”

Kelly broke down crying and covered her face. Tommy reached across and placed his hand on her arm and gave her a reassuring squeeze. After a few more moments, Kelly calmed down and wiped her reddened face with a napkin. She was very thankful that due to the time of day, no one other than the staff were at the restaurant at that moment.
 
 
After they talked a bit more, Kelly said that she needed to head on home.

Tommy picked up the tray and disposed of their trash before walking out together. The two walked very close to each other while holding hands. Kelly and Tommy both seemed to be a little more cheerful by the time they reached the bus stop.

Tommy let go of her hand and asked, “Would you like to come to my house this Thursday night for Thanksgiving supper?”

Kelly thought for a moment. “I’ll have to talk with my mom first, but I might.”

Tommy looked hopeful. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a slip of paper which he handed to her.

“Here is my number, like, in case you needed to call me.”

Kelly was kind of surprised. She smiled and said, “Here’s my cell number.”

She reached into her purse took out a thin black marker then wrote her number on Tommy’s forearm.

“And one more thing...” She said as she looked into his eyes. The bus had just pulled up to a stop beside them.

“Hmmm?”

Before Tommy could react, Kelly leaned forward and planted a kiss on his cheek. She giggled out “See ya!” before jumping on the bus.

Tommy was in a complete daze as he walked along back home.
 
 
When Tommy entered his house, he was still in that daze. His mom was about to ask him what was wrong, when she noticed the pink lip outline on his cheek.

“Did you have fun on your date?” his mom asked, smiling at him.

“Yep.” he answered, oblivious to everything around him as Kelly's face and her kiss was still playing out in his mind as he sat down at the table.
 
 
Kelly had a wonderful day! She was enjoying the time she had spent with Tommy. But deep down, her conscience was tearing her apart.

“I have to tell him!” she thought “But how?!!”
 

 
Meanwhile, across town behind Johnny’s Pump & Go, a teenager and an older man met.

“Here’s half, you sure you can get it?” Tony asked as he handed the older man the wad of cash.

“Yeah, but the bullets will cost extra.” the older man said.

“I’m gonna make that punk-ass white boy and his little bitch friend pay!” he thought as he started to walk home.
