Amber part 3

9th grade came and so did Farmington North High school. Back to the bottom of the food chain again. Being I hung with the wolf pack things didn't go to bad for me. One problem was gym, as I had to take ½ semester in 9th grade and another in 10th. By the grace of god or just dumb luck I had gym class with Marsha, Kate, and Sidney from the wolf pack. I secured my gym locker at the very end by the wall. With Marsha right next to me. I learned to change quickly and shower quicker yet. I made it through gym class.

I never developed any masculine traits at all. As I aged my body filled out, Feminine curves, cute butt, baby soft skin, Grandpa Westin said I was cute as a button. I will admit I was good looking. I hear guys calling me a fox almost everyday. My family says I'm cute.

9th grade went by fast. I was popular which I enjoyed. Once school let out for the summer. I hung mostly with Marsha, sometimes alone, sometimes with the wolf pack. It was great especially when we all went to the mall. A pack of beautiful girls roaming. Every time we had boys follow us around. By this time Mom and Dad had purchased their second Dealership. Instead of staying with Marsha when Dad and Mom headed to Sturgis. I was able to stay with Alex. We had starting to get together quite often that summer. It was great being able to be with her. Someone that saw who I really was and didn't judge. She liked me as me. Me and Alex played like I was a new friend. Not the boy she knew in elementary school.

Two weeks before my parents left for Sturgis. Alex began the Amber's Mom and Dad are going out of town for a week can she stay here.

“ Mom, Have you decided if Amber can stay the week when her parents are gone.”

“ Alex, I am still thinking about it.”

The next day Alex had the same question. By the third day. She got a yes.
Just after she called me, Jeff answered. “ Hello, Who, Oh yeah She is, AMBER phone” he yelled.
Picking up the extension in the den. “ OK, JEFF, I GOT IT” I waited for the click before answering. “ Hello”

“ She said yes,”

Realizing it was Alex. “ She did.”
“ Yeap, I'm sure she will want to meet or talk to your mom.”

“Yeah I figured. I hope they don't realize that they had met before. Our plan may fizzle and die.”

“ I'll tell mom what is going, she'll understand.”

“ OK, call me later.” We hung up.

I sat in the den thinking of what and how I wanted to tell Mom. It took me close to 20 minutes to decide just start from the beginning and tell the truth. I found Mom in the grooming room. Combing out Snyder. He recently blew his coat. He looked like one big tuft of fur. He wagged his tail when he saw me.

“ Mommy,”

“ What Dear?”

“ I need to tell you sumtin and ask your help.”

“ What is going on.”

“ Mom, well I......We are planning on”

“ Who is the we, Amber.”

“ Me and Alex. She is wanting to have me stay at her house when you and Daddy are gone to Sturgis.”

“ OK, you have known Alex for 10 years. SO what is the problem.”

“ Mrs. Meyers only knows Mark has known her for 10 years. Not Amber. She thinks I am one of Alex's new friends. Since I have been riding my bike over their. Lately.”

“ What do you want me to do, Honey?”

“ Can you talk to her mom as I am a new friend when she wants to talk to one of my parents. Please, Mommy” I gave her the sad puppy dog eyes.

“ This is important to you isn't it, Sweetie.”

“ Yeah, Mom, I said softly. “ Alex has been my best friend since 1st grade. She is the only one who saw me for what I was on the insides.”

“ OK, Honey. I will talk to Alex's mom.”

“ Thanks, Mommy.” I said leaving but after I had to give Snyder some attention.
Goofy dog.

Just after dinner I called Alex. Told her what was up. Her mom talked to my Mom. I watched all the time. She shooed me away. Once she finished she told me everything was set. I would stay at Alex's house when Mom and Dad where at Bike week.

The day came when Mom dropped me off at Alex's house. My mom and her Mom met and talked for about ½ hour. When she left, she gave me the speech, a hug and a kiss. This year it was $100 bucks. SHOPPING TIME.

We got me settled in Alex's room. We goofed around, not doing anything in particular. We went to the local pool Wednesday. I had gotten so good at hiding my birth defect. I was able to wear a bikini and feel good about it. It happened at diner that night. We where sitting at the table an eating. Making casual dinner conversation.

When Alex's mom said.
“ So Mike, how do you like your new school?”

I froze, a spoon of beans half way to my mouth, it hanging open. Alex did too.
“ Mom, this is Amber not Mike.”

Alex's dad started. “ Alex, Honey. Me and your mom have known since she started coming over. It was Mike. We know what happened. Amber's mom told us. Your Mom and Mrs. McClord have been friends for years. Princess, Your mom is an OB nurse. She helped deliver Amber.”

Her Mom continued “ Amber, we understand what you had gone through with elementary school. The changes you made when you moved. We are happy you are now who you are inside and out. You have become a very pretty young lady.”
I couldn't believe what had just heard. Tears welled up and I cried tears of joy.

“ Thank you so much. I didn't want to lie to you but Alex is my best friend. I haven't seen her much since we moved.” I half blubbered. Sniffing. “ Since I have been able to ride farther on my bike. I decided to ride here.”

“ I knew the first time you pulled up. Who you were. The way you and Alex interacted. Like she'd know you forever.”

“ You don't mind that I was a boy and still have” I timidly pointed down.

“ Amber, to us you are a pretty young lady. You act, behave, talk and walk like any other 15 year old girl does. I swear if I didn't know, I would think you where just a normal everyday girl.” Mr. Meyers said.

“ Come on you two eat up before your dinner gets cold.” Mrs. Meyer added.

Alex and I finished. Once I was finished I asked to be excused from the table. After taking my plate to the sink. I came back to the table. Giving both Mr. and Mrs. Meyers great big hugs.

My week with Alex ended to quickly. Mom picked me up, and I still have $6.45 left. Marsha asked where I was. I stayed at an old friends house, she was told. She seemed a little miffed about it, but soon passed.

Again after labor day. School started again. Like in previous years I hung with the wolf pack. I had classes with at least one. Our first day.
I had health just after lunch with Marsha and Mindy. As we walked to class, our book held to our chests. Driving all the guys nuts. We loved it.
“ Have you seen the new boy yet?” Mindy asked. Me and Marsha shook our heads.

“ He is such a fox, Greg something.”

We walked into our health class. Finding a seat we sat and talked, watching all the other students trickle in. Most of the kids I knew or knew of. As the last few came in.

Mindy hit my arm, “ Oh my god, that's him.”

I looked up and saw the most perfect man, in my eyes. He looked at me, I gave an embarrassed smile then turned away.

“ Excuse me is this seat taken?” It was him standing right next to me.

I couldn't say anything, I just shook my head. My face must have looked like a beet.

Mrs Flormann started the class. She took roll. His name I will remember forever, Gregory Reid. Greg was a transfer from Grand Rapids.
