Chapter 2: At School The Next Day

I got up the next morning and got ready for school. I put on a pink thong, it was a girl's thong but on the plainer side. I knew I could get away with it today, as this quarter I had Health and no gym, thank goodness. I wore boy clothes, but in a unisex style (mostly jeans and polo or t-shirts). I finished dressing and worked on combing my shoulder-length hair into a pony tail. I really wanted to put the band on it higher, but knew it would cause teasing.

I put my white Keds sneakers on, which I loved to wear as the male and female styles were the same. So I could at least be all girl in my imagination. I was a lovely girl who was in love with her best male friend Leon. I was looking forward to Friday night's dance as it may be the one and only time that I could realize my fantasy. I knew it would be well worth it if I only got that one chance.

I went downstairs, and had my breakfast. I was lucky today as both my parents were there. My father is a tall, muscular man. He was on the football teams all through High School and College. I know I was a disappointment to him. I was slender and not too tall. I had no interest in playing sports. My father got on well with Leon as Leon reminded my father of himself when he was younger. My father frequently called me a sissy and tried to force me to be his idea of a man. If only he knew.

My mother was a beautiful woman who was petite in build. I resembled her both in looks and stature, except I was a little bit taller than her. I think she really would have liked her only child to be a girl and encouraged my feminine behavior whenever she could. I knew of my two parents she would be able to accept my gender issues better than my father. I knew the day was coming when I would have to tell them but I was hoping to put it off for awhile.

We ate breakfast in silence, each of us dealing with our personal thoughts. Mine were on how was I going to pull it off. I had to figure out where Leon could pick me up. If I had him pick me up here, I would have to deal with my parents finding out about me. Also it would give away the surprise of Leon finding out who is date is. I could meet up at my friend, Beth's house and I was thinking of this. I also could ask her if she could help me with my hair and make-up and cancel the salon all together. It would make it easier to slip out with no one noticing. Besides if I went to the salon I would have to leave school earlier and would probably have to let my mom know. I would ask Beth at school today if she would do that for me. She was great at doing her own hair and make-up.

After finishing breakfast, I left the house and began my short walk to school. I had to pass Leon's house on my walk and today it happened that he was just leaving for school as I passed his house. He asked if he could join me and of course I said yes. He proceeded to grab my books from me, before I could stop him. I wondered to myself what was behind that. He always seemed to do little things for me that a guy would do for a girl he was trying to impress. It got me curious as to what was going on in his mind. But I shrugged it off thinking it was not important and probably did not mean what I thought it did.

We walked on in silence for a little bit, each of us wondering about Friday night. Finally Leon could not bear it any longer and started to ask questions about his date.

“Do you know what flowers she like? I want to get her a corsage in her favorite flowers. I think that would be so romantic, don't you?”

“She loves white roses.”

“Oh, what a coincidence, so do you Les.”
I suddenly realized that I had to be very careful of what I said, because I could give the whole game away before Friday night.

“Yes it is, but I am sure that a lot of people like white roses.”

We arrived at school, and had to go our separate ways as we were in different homerooms. I had to think up ways to answer further questions without giving my game away. I knew I would tell him that he would find out her name when he met her. I used a variation of my name as my girl name as it is unisex. When in girl mode I went by Lesley. I liked that spelling better. But if I told Leon that name I knew he was more than smart enough to put two and two together. I would let him know what dress I would be wearing if he wanted to coordinate his tuxedo's cummerbund color to match. I knew he probably would as he was romantic in that way. I really could not understand how he could not get dates. He was such a sweet romantic guy.

My morning went by like any normal school day. I focused my thoughts on the classes and put my thoughts about Leon and the Prom in the back of my mind. I knew come Friday night my relationship with Leon could very much change if not be over. I was willing to take that risk, because on the other hand I could very well become his girl. I had a smile on my face when that thought occurred, that would make my dreams come true. And like any other girl, I dreamed of being his wife and taking care of his needs.

“Les, what is 1,043 times 1.043?”

I was suddenly jolted out of my revery by the teacher's question.

“I am sorry Ms. Johnson, I don't know.”

“Well maybe next time you will keep your mind on the lesson?”

The rest of the class laughed as she resumed the lessons and I made up my mind to pay attention.

I met up with Leon at lunch and answered his questions. Beth was okay with my new plans, so I told him to pick me up at her house. I told him that his date was shy and tell him her name when he met her. He wanted to know what color dress she would be wearing as he wanted to match so I told him Midnight Blue.

The rest of the day went by in a blur. I was so distracted about thinking of the Prom. I could hardly wait for the next few days go by.
