I woke up feeling refreshed after a good night of sleep. Sleeping in your own bed is definitely better than a hospital one. The soreness seems to be a lot better today too. After my morning routine I went downstairs and mom was already making breakfast.

“Good morning mom”

“Good morning sweety, how are you feeling today?”

“I’m feeling pretty good actually, the soreness isn’t so bad today.”

“That’s good sweety. What do you want to eat today?”

“Hmm.... scrambled eggs? They are looking pretty good today. I could smell them all the way upstairs.”

“Of course sweety.” She said and served me a plate.

“Thank you mom.”

After breakfast we got ready for my appointment. It seems I overslept a little today and time was getting short. No wonder I had such a good night of sleep, I think I slept over 10 hours. Yeah, yeah, I’m rambling again but who can blame me, right?

We arrived at the hospital a little before 10 and we were directed to the 3rd floor once again. ‘Are all the doctors offices on that floor?’ I asked myself. We went to the reception and sat down, I looked at the magazine rack but I refrained to get one. I came prepared today, I brought my own magazine, thank you. And no I will not say which magazine it is. Let’s just say it’s some reading material that Steph and Jess want me to read and Jess said she would give me a reward If I do it. Those two seems to want me to learn all the girly stuff pretty fast, I dread to think what they planned for later today, and I think mom is on it too, they spent a lot of time talking to mom and giggling yesterday.

The receptionist brought me back from my mental ramblings and directed us to the doctor’s office. When I entered, the doctor greeted us. “Hello Sam, Mrs. Evans, my name is Melanie Walker, but call me Mel.”

“Okay Doctor Mel” I said.

“Just Mel please, the Doctor thing makes me feel old.” She said. Mel is a very attractive woman that looks to be in her late twenties.

“Sam, I reviewed your file and I see you had a rough time this week.”

“I can’t really say that, I was unconscious most of the rough parts. Of course the aftermath was pretty stressful too, but I’m dealing with it and have some great people supporting me.”

“That’s good, because you will need all the support you can get.” She said. “Okay Sam, first thing we will have a small allergy test, It won’t take long and will just require a few small injections.”

‘Oh God more needles.’ I thought to myself. “Okay.” I said a bit fearfully.

“Don’t worry it wont hurt and we just want to be sure there will be no other incident like last time you came to this hospital.”

In the end the allergy test was a bit anticlimactic. The amount of injections I had this last week seems to be having an effect on my fear as it wasn’t as bad as it used to. I think it might be a good thing because I will probably see a lot of needles in the near future.

“Sam, everything looks fine and the tests show you didn’t have any reaction to the hormones.”

“That’s a good thing, right?”

“Yes, its a very good thing. I’m going to give you a booster shot and prescribe you some hormone pills too. Also I think you might benefit from a growth hormone with some low dosage shots over the next few months, it might help you grow a few more inches.”

“Really? That will be great. Did you hear that mom?”

“Yes I did, sweety.” She said and gave a hug.

The doctor then gave me the shots and damn my bum is sore. Before leaving the hospital we went to the pharmacy and got our prescription, apparently they are covering the drugs too which I think its good as I have no idea how much would all this cost but I know that probably the treatment isn’t cheap.

After lunch mom left saying she had some errands to run and I went back to my reading as Jess said there would be a pop quiz about it, and to every right answer I’ll get a reward, at least I think what she said, I was a bit distracted at the moment as she said it whispering into my ears and nibbling it making my entire body tingle.

A few hours later mom came back with a bunch of groceries and started to make dinner. I offered to help but she told me to stay in the living room and wait for the girls. ‘What are they planning? Mom is definitely on it too.’

A few minutes later the doorbell rang, I went to open the door and it was Jess and Steph carrying a few gym bags that seemed pretty full, with then there was someone else that I recognized being Liz from our class.

“Hi, why all the bags?” asked them.

“Aren’t you let us in? These things are heavy.” Steph said.

“Oh, okay.” I said and let them in.

After they entered and put the bags inside, Steph said. “Sam, you know Liz, right? She is one of my best friends.”

“Hi Liz.” I said shyly.

“Hi Sam, Steph told me a lot about you.” She said and gave me a hug.

“Really? What did she tell you about me?”

“Well... I think its better she tell you that.” Liz cryptically said.

“Steph?” I said looking at her.

“We better sit down, it will take a while.

We sat down, Jess and I cuddled together on the love seat, Jess and Liz sat on the sofa and Steph started to talk.

(Steph)

Jess and I were sitting together at lunch when Liz approached up and asked if she could sit down with us, and of course we said she could. After she sat down she turned at me and said.

“You are looking much happier these last two days Steph, something good happened?”

“Yes, I got my best friend back.” I said happily.

“You mean Sam?”

“Yes, we finally made up.”

“Is everything okay? last time I saw Sam was Monday.”

“Yes, everything is okay now, Tuesday Sam had a severe allergic reaction in the hospital and had to stay there until yesterday.”

“Oh god, but everything is okay now, right?”

“Fortunately yes, she had a rough time these last few days.” I said noticing the pronoun slip a bit too late.

“She? I knew she was a girl, I thought she looked too cute in that cheerleader uniform to be a guy. Some people said she is a guy, but no guy look like that. Half the girls in our class think like that too, the other half doesn’t know what to think of Sam. She talks and act like a girl, but is always wearing boy clothes. I personally think she would look very pretty if she dressed up a little more.”

(Sam) “What?”

(Jess) “Shush, let her finish the story.”

“Liz, we have been friends for a while now, and what I am going to tell you is something I, Sam and Jess would like to keep quiet for now, okay?”

“A secret? I can keep secrets and you know it.”

Jess looked at me and said. “Ohhh, I wonder what kind of dirty she has on you Steph.”

“No dirty, quite the opposite, but that’s all I’m saying.” Liz said.

“Okay, meet us after school and we will talk while walking home, okay?” I said.

“This is better be good. Who am I kidding, knowing you it will be big.” Liz said.

After we school we met up and started to walk home, Liz lives pretty close to us.

“Now spill it, girl. I hardly been able to pay attention to class after lunch.” Liz said.

“Like you ever pay attention.” I said poking my tongue at her.

“Come on, don’t make me beg.”

“Okay, okay, don’t do the puppy dog eye thing on me, that only work with the boys.”

“Dammit.” She said and pouted.

We then told her everything that happened since Tuesday.

“So you are saying that Sam doesn’t have a choice but become a girl?”

“Pretty much.” I said.

“It must be very hard.”

“I think so, but I know Sam and I know she will do well.”

“So that’s why you are using female pronouns?”

“We need to get used to it and so does Sam, and I kinda always saw her like a sister to me, long before all this happened.”

“And you want to keep this under wraps?”

“I think it would be best, as you said, many already think Sam is a girl and the rest is uncertain, other than a few assholes. Can you keep it a secret?”

“Of course I can, but I think it would be good if we could bring a couple more girls up to date, and I think I know exactly who we can trust.”

“We are going to Sam’s later, would you like to join us?” Jess asked.

(Sam)

“And here we are.” Jess finished her tale.

I looked at Liz and asked her. “Are you okay with all this?”

“Of course I am, I kinda saw you as a girl for a while too, so it’s not a big change.”

I went to her with watery eyes and gave her a hug. “Thank you, Liz.”

“You are welcome, Sam.”

I looked at the bags again, looked at the 3 girls in my living room and said. “What is the bags for? What are you guys plotting?”

Jess get up got closer to me and said. “Well, we need to bring you up to date on being a girl so we planned something special for tonight.”

“What is it?”

“Something every girl goes through while growing up and you missed a lot of it, and its really fun.” Steph said.

“What is it? Can someone tell me?”

The three girls looked at each other and then said in unison “Slumber party!”
