The Double Date

I could feel my stomach flip-flop. “No! Jacob, Why Me? Why does it have to be me?” I ask knowing that I would be disappointed in his answer. His plans always end up with the same result. He gets the girl and I get something broken. I’ve known the guy for 10 years. I was six when he and his family moved in next door. We both started out as average kids. He grew up handsome. I just grew… Kind-of.

“No... I mean, yeah… I mean, I can talk about cars and stuff with you but you’re…” his sputtered protest trailed off as he backed away a bit and looked at me warily. “I probably don’t want to finish that sentence, do I?”

Well the news from Kate had been a shock and I wanted to respect Kate’s request to keep it secret but I was aching already to tell somebody.

I felt that it was difficult since in my situation I realized just what it was like to feel like everybody was looking at me and talking about me. I knew it was my imagination but it was affecting my confidence and I could see why Jessica might react badly if she was the subject of gossip.

Will success elude him or will he just need to trade in his suit and tie for something a little softer. It seems she had a plan for just that.

To Have and To Hold
by Katelynne Perry

When is a boy not a boy? When he turns into a candy store.

I always thought that riddle was cute because it fit me to a tee except you have to take 'the candy store' and replace it with 'a little girl'. I've had the misfortune of being born with a female brain inside a male body. Sometimes, though, I think it is a blessing because I've been able to see life from both genders, kind of.

Me, strange, never fitting in, not even in my own skin or even my own life here in the parking lot leaning into the embrace of Brandy in the early morning sunshine kissing with her and pressing into her breasts while her hands are circled around me caressing my back, fingering playfully with my bra strap making me hyper-aware of wearing it and how it feels and holds me in giving me this sense of rightness and security.

What do you say when you're at the end? Do you apologize for things you wish were different? Do you smile knowing it’s finally over? I don't know what you would do, but I was calm inside and out. Surprising, once you get to know me. When you find out what really goes on in my head, regardless of what I show the rest of the world. I guess I should start at the beginning right? My life changed on a Wednesday. Funny how you remember the day when your whole life becomes something you never thought was possible.
