Being twins was ever so much fun. When Tyler decides to swap with his sister Taylor, things get really crazy!
And Tyler's eyes get opened to a whole new world...

So I that was a quick trip through my life and a summary of some of the good times I had as Ms Tyler Thompson. Lots of opportunity to for both Taylor and I to swop identities but not always incident free.

I guess I grew to like the more feminine way of life that being Ms Tyler presented and certainly Master Taylor Thomson was enjoying ‘himself.’

We settled into a routine where Taylor would swop bags with me and meet the guys for kick about whilst I headed home to tidy around and do a few chores for mum. Sadly Taylor always got the credit and I got the shake of the head treatment and the wagging finger with ‘why can’t you help your sister?’

At the time it hurt me since I wanted some praise. There wasn’t much chance at school and complements don’t fly around too much at home. Maybe that was my fathers style. As he said he had chores to do every day and ‘whoa betide if he didn’t do them.’ What on earth that meant I’ll never know.

We met outside school one evening and swopped bags and before Taylor was out of sight I was suddenly standing in front of a guy from our area. I recognized him but he always ignored me because he was ‘grown up’ since he who was in the school year above us. “Hi Taylor, do you mind if I walk with you since I’m going your way?’ Did he mean Taylor or me Tyler?

What could I say? No chance to admit this was Tyler he was chatting to and nowhere to hide. He looked me up and down as if he had spotted me and I just as I was fearing a smack around the ear he said ‘My gosh Tyler you look super today.’

I felt like I was fused to the ground. My feet felt like two lead weights and I wanted to take off and hide. Was he joking or did he think I was Taylor. Surely I didn’t look so much like my sister even though I had her school bag. A pink carry bag with a long shoulder strap might look girly but surely he could see the boy in me?

I gradually regained the use of my legs and I needed to get away for a minute to check myself out. I told him I had to pop into the bathroom to freshen up. So here I was again. One of these days I’ll get caught but I had little choice. The ‘girl’ in the mirror didn’t look as hot as I’d hoped and I could see it was me so why couldn’t he? I have some muscles don’t I and surely that’s a beard at the end of my chin? No it’s somebody left a mascara mark on the mirror. Must have been Specky Becky or Horny Rim Rylance who both seem to have to be 2 inches from the mirror before they can see anything.

After a few minutes one of Taylors friends took pity on me. ‘Come on T what’s wrong with you? Are you in love or something? Or is it just the time of the month?’

She was laughing as she said it and how to answer such a question? Do I ignore it or hide my embarrassment? At least that wasn’t my problem. I couldn’t cope with that having seen the effect it has on Jane and Taylor. It’s best to stay well away and why they can’t arrange to have the problem at the same time each month I’ll never know. Surely it’s not that complicated to adjust.

So amy was quite helpful and I did look a lot better as I stepped back out hoping Darren had given up on me. Blast he was still waiting.

‘Oh taylor I was just about to give up on you. Thanks.’

Grrr why didn’t I stay for another few minutes?

‘Oh Hi, I’m sorry to take so long but it’s not like the boys bathroom…..’ ‘Ughhhh’

He didn’t pick up on my mistake. Lucky for me and so we started our treck home.

I’ve never been escorted before nor have I been chatted up. Full marks to Darren for effort I’d have given up on me ages ago. He was definitely going to persevere until he was totally rejected. I looked at him and I guess he was OK and I wouldn’t have liked to be given the brush off. So I decided to be more kind.

He wasn’t so bad really and strangely he only wanted to discuss things like football and computers both of which were subjects that were well over my head.

I guess the 30 minute walk soon passed and he didn’t seem so bad after all. Now I had to run Mums Gauntlet but the option was to wait for Taylor. If I opted for 2 I might encourage Darren. If mum saw me and recognized me I might never hear the last of it.

So we stood at the end of the drive chatting. I was getting uncomfortable and bursting for the bathroom but at least Darren was interesting and whilst he seemed a little on the shy side I was sure that Taylor wouldn’t mind me chatting to him. But what if he rang her or approached her? I should have taken notes so I could brief her. But what if she didn’t like him?

Just as I was about to burst Taylor came around the corner bouncing his soccer ball. ‘Thank goodness T I wondered where you were.’

‘Hi Sis. Who’s this?’

I thought about it ‘Grrr you piglet Taylor Thompson.’

I introduced Taylor as brother Tylet but then he knew him or he was supposed to anyway.

‘Hi Ty. Sorry just walked your sis home. You don’t mind do you?’

‘Gosh no. Taylor might look as if butter would melt in her mouth but she’s a lot like mom so it’s not me you need to watch out for.’

‘T ?? Please.’

‘Sorry sis but I need to leave you two lovers. Gotta jump in the shower since I’m meeting the guys soon.’

‘Tyler. You can’t.’

Then Darren chipped in ‘Why not. He’s a guy and it’s not so dangerous around here. Doesn’t your mum left you both out?’

‘sorry you are right it’s not up to me.’

At that T disappeared in doors and Darren seemed to look me up and down again.

‘Your brother is pretty cool isn’t he? He seems mature for his age. Do you two get on OK?’

‘Pretty much most of the time but adolescence has some challenges and his testorone levels are getting a bit much for him at the moment.’

After another 5 minutes I went inside giving my apologies as Taylor came out with ‘his’ hair slicked and after a quick wash and brush up.

‘See you later Sis. Mum knows where I am I left a note. Might be late back.’

Grr ‘he’d’ left and I was going to have to lie low until ‘he’ got back and do ‘our’ chores before mum got home.

Only one way to get rid of Darren so I touched his hand and gave him a light peck on the cheek.

I just made it to the bathroom thank goodness. I hadn’t peed myself since I was 2 years old but I was a little bit damp. Mmm a bit sticky too.

Chapter 3
 
I sighed a little and looked out of the bathroom window to be sure that Darren was going home. Maybe it was relief that I’d made it in time and relieved the pressure or maybe I was just glad not to get caught out. Then as I dried my hands I couldn’t resist looking at myself in the mirror.

I guess mum would easily recognize me and I daren’t risk it. So I’d better get my chores done quickly so I could wait in my room until Taylor returned. ‘He’ was doing this on purpose because ‘he’ knew supper was at 7pm and if he didn’t get back in time to switch back I’d be liable to just strangle her. She was lapping this up.

That meant I’d have to hang around in her room when mum came home and feign a headache or tummy ache or something. ‘He’d ‘just better have taken his mobile with ‘him’ or I’ll kill ‘him’ never mind strangle ‘him.’ He’s getting to like this.

I put on Taylors slippers and tied my hair back in a pony tail as best I could. I wondered what it was really like to be a girl as I checked myself out. I popped a pair of ankle socks under my T shirt and stepped back. Yes that’s what I’d want to look like if I was Taylor. She needs feminizing a bit I think to rid herself of this butch image that she’s starting to develop. At least I’ve got long eye lashes like Taylor but my skin is a bit dry. I might have to work on that a bit if we play swops more often.

One of the ankle socks fell out from beneath my T shirt so I looked in Taylors drawer for something that might help and was delighted to see one of her sports bras that she likes to wear to keep her mounds as compact as possible. Why would she want to hide them? I’d want to make them look bigger. Yes that will teach her I decided to do what I thought she would do and feminize her as much as I could.

The sports bra was a bit tight so I needed to pad it out quite a bit to find the effect that I was looking for. That was better but I’d have to get used to them quickly. I wondered what Darren would think now.

I decided to pop into mums room and found some mascara. HaHa Taylor Thompson what if someone sees you wearing this? I daren’t use much but I was surprised how my eyes looked and no doubt my long lashes helped. It was a good job I’d watched mum get ready many times but I still poked myself in the eye whilst I found a way to do my left eye.

HaHa a spray of deodorant and Taylor Thompson was getting a lot more girly. I daren’t touch the lipstick but Taylor might just be surprised if she’s not careful or I might take a trip to Boots and pop a few thinks in a cosmetic bag for her school bag. I wasn’t going to swop any more unless I could do as I liked as she was doing whilst out as me.

I had to rush now so I sorted out some laundry and set the washing machine going. ‘Whites’ first that included mums underwear. Why couldn’t Taylor wear things like this? Mmm maybe ‘she’ can.

I emptied the dish washer and read mums notes. Peel carrots and potatoes, defrost 4 chicken breasts and wash and slice onions and mushrooms. Check the recipe book for the ingredients for chicken casserole. Pop to the local ‘Tesco’ store for some stock cubes and buy something you like for afters.

Pop to Tesco!! Oh no I’d have to hurry or mum will be home. First the chicken. I’d just caught it in time and checked to ensure they were de-frosted. Mmm these seemed like real breasts and maybe I’d have been better to use them instead of the ankle socks. How stupid I’d end up covered in the blood and they’d probably smell.
Just time to tidy the kitchen and then I picked up mums shopping bag and her money purse and found a pair of shoes that were a bit more girly than my school shoes and I dashed out so I could get back before mum got home.

Surprised that I got a few smiles and one ‘Hi Taylor, how’s mum?’ It was Mrs Lancaster from the house at the back of us. I had to answer and she insisted on chatting and asking me to pass on a message about a Church meeting. Taylor just better pass it on when I let her know. ‘My aren’t you turning out to be a cute one. Bet the boys are getting interested.’

‘thanks Mrs Lancaster but no thanks. I’m not ready for that boy thing just yet.’

This was getting crazy. I didn’t hang around in Tescos in case any neighbors came in and since the afters were my choice I bought a fresh blueberry cheesecake. I doubted the berries were fresh but I supposed it was fresh to the store.

I finished preparing dinner and popped it in the oven. I guess I’d made a mess cooking the onions and crushing the garlic and there were bits of mushroom on the floor so I was down on my hands and knees with the handbrush when I heard mums car pull up. Blast.

I shot upstairs into the bathroom and heard mum closing the door and shouting me.

‘I’m in the bathroom mum. Suppers in the oven cooking.’

Come on Taylor get your butt back here or I’ll definitely kill you. I went into her room and heard mum react to Taylors note. ‘So your brothers out somewhere. He’d better be back in time or I’ll ground him. He should be helping you the ungrateful little monkey.’

‘Mum it’s OK he went to the shop earlier for me.’ Well I had to get myself out of trouble somehow. I wasn’t going to do all the work and then get grounded.

‘You don’t sound so well dear are you OK?’

‘Just a bit of a sore throat mum from too much choir practice this afternoon.’ Aghhh I will kill ‘him’ where is ‘he’. She is bound to come to find out what’s wrong soon.

It was getting more and more difficult by the minute to keep mum at bay and mum shouted again and was starting to get more concerned because I hadn’t gone downstairs. I had laid on my bed, well Taylors bed really, and thought about climbing out of the window and escaping down the drainpipe. I closed my eyes for a minute. “Taylor Thompson where are you now?’

Then I heard mum starting to climb the stairs and suddenly there was a key in the lock. Ahh at last ‘he’s’ back. Mum stopped and must have looked down at Taylor.

‘Tyler?? Tyler is that you? Taylor it’s you what are you playing at you were upstairs a minute ago.’

‘Err sorry mum I just saw Tyler had left his football on the lawn and somebody lurking about so I went to get it.’

‘ Taylor why do you insist to dress like that? Sometimes you look more like a boy than a girl. Where is that lazy brother of yours? Thanks for making supper but he’s going to get the palm of my hand one of these days.’

‘it’s OK mum he did help a bit.’

‘I thought you said he’d only been to the shop for you. Is your throat better now? It still seems a bit croaky. Do you want some hot lemon juice?’

‘No mum I’m OK can I help you prepare the table?’

‘OK I did it already so just go upstairs and wash and we’ll start without Tyler. He can have his cold if he can’t be bothered to help around here.’

‘OK mum I’m back in a jiffy.’

I could have hit her as she came through the bedroom door. ‘Now look what you’ve done I’m in the bad books again. You are getting to be more and more trouble. Why did you rush out before we had chance to discuss anything.?’

‘I can’t help it the guys were wanting a kick about and I like to play. I did great and I scored 3 goals. It gets better though because now they want me to play for their team.’

‘Sis you can’t you’re a girl. No girls aloud. Anyway what about me if you play soccer I’d have to hide so they think it’s me playing not you.’

‘Yes I thought about it already. Best if we go together and I play and you watch. Some girlfriends turn up sometimes and Nick De Marco brings his kid sister along. She’s nuts about football. Come on Bro you know you like to help me.’

‘It’s not my idea of fun and we do have chores to do around here you know.’

‘Yes I know but how about I pay you to do my share? You know you enjoy it. Anyway look at you. Why are you dressed like that? You’ve tied your hair up and where did those come from? You’d best be careful because if anybody from school sees you with those things then I’m going to have to free mine from this strapping. I hate them so please don’t or you will ruin my image. I don’t want boys chasing after me when I’d rather be playing soccer.’

‘Too late because one already is chasing. You saw Darren so I think I’m going to encourage him even more if you don’t start behaving yourself and think about me instead for a change. Especially my reputation with Mum.’

‘OK OK come on let’s call a truce for now or mum will be up. You’d better get changed and sneak out the front door and come in again. Why the pony tail, and is that make up Ugggh. Tyler wash it off quick. I don’t want to you to wear make-up when we swop. I’ll be the laughing stock of the class.’

‘Tough it’s going to have to be part of the deal. If you are playing soccer I will have to be you so nobody guesses and if I help you out then I intend to behave like a girl.’

‘Come on Bro there is no point going overboard. It’s just our bit of fun with swopping for a while.’

‘Bit of fun for you OK ‘cos nobody worries if a girl dresses or acts like a boy but it’s different for us. We are hounded or branded as perverts and so no fun at all. Not at all.’

‘Bro you are taking this a bit serious aren’t you? It’s just a bit of fun as brother and sister.’

‘Mmm typical!! No thought about the consequences for me. I do like to swop but I can’t enjoy it as much as I’d like. If I get found out I’m dead meat at school so I will only swop if we do this seriously. You can be sure that I’m definitely not going to look like a girl who looks like a boy. If we are doing this then be sure that I’m going to enjoy every minute of it. Rest assured if you don’t take care to protect my reputation then rest assured I won’t worry about yours either and I’ll let everybody see the girly girly side of you. Deal?’

‘Deal. ----- Tyler You are just like mum so even if I can twist your arm I can’t beat you. Come on I’m starving let’s see what you cooked up.’

Chapter 4
 
Taylor went to distract mum whilst I slipped outside and rang the doorbell. She just had to tease me and make me stand outside waiting. She was laughing as she opened the door so I whispered ‘I’ll get you for that!’

I was sent straight to wash my hands with a flea in my ear from mum. ‘tyler that’s the last straw. Don’t you think you could help your sister once in a while. Where have you been until now.’

I said sorry but it didn’t seem to have much impact so there wasn’t much chat over dinner. Mum eventually spoke out and said I had to start pulling my weight or I’d be grounded. Then she said I should take my turn and she’d find me some jobs on Saturday morning and I had to stay in all day as my penance.

I waited for Taylor to speak out in my defence and gave her a look. Then as she expertly gathered the last piece of cheesecake onto her fork she turned to mum. “ Mum please don’t be so hard on Tyler. It was my fault and he did offer but since he is trying to get into the soccer team I told him I’d do his share of the chores. He scored 3 goals tonight and they want him to play in the team”

“How do you know and anyway he has to work even harder if he wants to do well at school and play sport. Jobs don’t do themselves you know.’

“Yes mum but it’s important and he has to train Saturday if he wants to get in the team don’t you bro?”

Here we go again. Tyler bail me out time.”

So I helped. ‘I sent a text to sis and it’s true. I have a great chance to play on Sunday afternoon if I turn up for training. If I don’t then just forget it. At the moment somebody is injured and they need a goal scorer. It’s my chance.”

Mum frowned and looked me up and down. “Well you’re hardly big enough to play let alone score goals. You’ll end up hurting yourself and maybe even I’ll have to rush to the hospital to try to find you. It’s a stupid game. Then you’ll be sorry.”

Sis chipped in and she was obviously not listening to mum. ‘Mom how can Tyler grow stronger and build up his muscles if he doesn’t join in contact sports games. At least he’s trying and we should help him. They’ve asked him so they must be confident in his ability.”

Mum turned to me for once ignoring what Taylor had said. “Can’t you speak for yourself Tyler? Do you really think you’re strong enough to play? I don’t want you to break your leg or an arm or dislocate a shoulder. What happens if you end up lame for life or even if you break your nose. There are some ugly football players who were good looking before they bashed into each other. We can’t have you missing school for a broken limb. Not with your grades.”

So there I was in at the deep end again. “ I’ll be OK mum since I have more speed than the others that keeps me out of trouble. Nobody can catch me.” It was a joke really since I had no speed at all. But Taylor was pretty nippy and she was certainly not scared.

“But what about your sister here? What’s she going to do if you go off training and playing soccer?”

I went quiet. “ Mom don’t worry about me I’ll be fine.” At least Taylor was speaking out and not leaving me to dig our way out of the mess. It was her game of soccer not mine and obviously she wanted to play.

“Well I don’t know because I already told you both that I’m visiting Gran this weekend and I was intending taking you both with me. She hasn’t seen you for ages and neither has Grandad. With dad away I don’t like leaving you both on your own. Who’s going to do the shopping and the cooking if I’m away? Think about it Taylor. If Tyler is training and playing soccer what will you do with yourself? Are you OK to look after the pair of you and make sure you let me know that Tyler is OK?”

“Sure I am mum. Sure I will. I’d be happy to help and it will give you some free time and it’s not like Tyler needs 3 course meals or anything is it bro? I could easily make us a few snacks and keep the place tidy. I’m even happy to change all the beds and do the heavy laundry so you don’t have it to do when you come home.”

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!! Here we go again. Taylor is too quick to answer for both of us and no doubt she will do nothing and leave it all to me. As if I was going to let her get away with it. Just one bridge too far this time.

So I spoke out. “It’s OK with me mum I will do my share. I even don’t mind to cut the grass and if you trust me to drive dad’s car I’ll take it down to the car wash and polish it afterwards. I can even deliver your Avon cosmetics if you leave me the list and collect the money.” That’ll tech her!!

“OK if you are both willing to chip in I’d like to go see my mum. She needs some help.” That was my revenge. The look on Taylors face was a picture.

“Come on you too now help me clear everything away and fill the dishwasher. I suppose you both have homework to do and I want to skype mum and see where your dad is. I haven’t heard from him for 3 days.”

So we tidied up and whilst I felt I had got some revenge on Taylor as I reflected I seemed to be getting in deeper that was worrying me. On the other hand Taylors glass was half full. She was already planning a party with the team and thinking what we might do for food.

It seems whatever I do these days I end up with the dirty end of the stick.

Saturday came with nothing eventful having occurred except that we walked home from school each day having swopped bags and making out as each other. Darren had approached me during a break but hadn’t realised he was talking to Tyler not Taylor. It’s a good job that my mate Robin didn’t realise what was happening so I played a long a bit so that Darren wouldn’t give the game away. How could he not realise. Stupid Boy!!

I saw Taylor a few times through the day but she didn’t seem to care when I told her. As I said earlier it’s different for a girl who likes to present as a boy than it is for a boy who looks like a girl. The only way I can get her to listen is when it affects her image with her friends or it spoils her chances to play football.

Come Friday night mum packed a bag after work, had a quick sandwich and was off. By 7pm we had the house to ourselves. Taylor disappeared upstairs and I cleared up in the kitchen. I didn’t mind really since it gave me chance to polish everything.

Then Taylor appeared at the door.

“My God Taylor you aren’t going out are you. You aren’t going out looking like that as well are you?’

‘What’s up bro. I want to see the guys and they think I’m you so why not dress for the part?”

“yes but Taylor you don’t look like yourself. You look a bit OTT if you don’t mind me saying.”

Look Ty I this is the modern look. I won’t be long but I’ve some bonding to do if I’m going to make the team so it’s just a game as far as I’m concerned. Nothing too serious even though I think I do look a bit of a hunk don’t you think?’

“no comment”. Actually she did look more like the guy people expected me to be and I was sure that a few girls at school would be chasing ‘him’.

So ‘he’ disappeared whilst I carried on tidying around. I must have been absorbed in what I was doing because I never sat down and I heard the key in the lock. It was Taylor with a couple of the football team. They’d been drinking something and Taylor was encouraging them. She opened some can of beer and when I gave her a look she just said “Ok sis, this is Fabio and Earl.” They seemed past their best. “ how about a snack sis. Have we anything left over?’

Who was this person. Had she suddenly grown horns and something between her legs to make her sound such a pratt?

“Look Tyler if mum finds out you are in deep do do. I thought you were in training? No professional soccer places drink alchohol these days during training or before a game.”

“ Yes but we are young and fit. Anyway mum is away so the boys will play.”

“Not whilst I’m here you won’t so come on and clear off and you go to bed.”

Surprisingly the 2 guys stood up and headed for the front door. One of them whispered “ your sis is a bit bossy but she’s a bit cute. I’d give her one.”

Good for Taylor she soon shut him up with a punch to the stomach and “don’t you ever say that again about my sister again.”

What could I say? “Thanks Taylor but I can take care of myself thank you. It was your fault for bringing them home. Mum will kill you if she finds out. What am I saying? She will kill me!!!”

Chapter 5
 
I was a bit annoyed about the way that Taylor had turned up and I’d been put into an awkward position and yet ‘he’ didn’t seem too bothered at all. In fact he kept calling me ‘sis’ and the more ‘he’ did it the more it was winding me up. He kept saying we should try it on a permanent basis for a while and at least until I started sprouting again since ‘he’ was bigger.

I did end up hitting ‘him’ but it just made ‘him’ laugh as he held my wrists and ‘he’ said I made a much better girl than ‘him’.

Once ‘he’d’ calmed down we sat down because I said I wanted to talk. He poured a beer for himself and brought me a diet coke.

“Taylor, this is going too far and it’s getting dangerous.’

‘What’s the fuss about Ty. We aren’t doing any harm to anybody are we? You know what I think your problem is Ty. I think you like it. Am I right?’’

‘Don’t be stupid. It’s just been a bit of fun but we should stop before it causes problems.’

‘What problems? I think we do OK and anyway I can’t stop now. I like it and I love playing football. It gives me chance to be me.’

‘Look why don’t you just join a girls soccer team.’

‘Simple. I want to test my skills and I like to compete against the boys because I feel I relate more to them. Anyway I like to be one of the guys sometimes. Don’t you like to be one of the girls and wouldn’t you like to hang around with them for a while to see what it’s really like instead of just having your short girl time?

‘Yes but we can’t take this too far. What would mum and dad think?’

‘look we have a laugh and the more I fit in the more strong I feel and it seems to escalate and then I don’t want to change back. I want to find out more and I’d love to be able to please myself when I get up in a morning. It’s a nuisance being a girl and being expected to be something that doesn’t feel right. How do you feel Ty when you have chance to be more like a girl. Do you like it?’

‘Well it is much better when I’m you because I can relax more and explore. Sometimes I want to cry but it’s not allowed. Boys don’t cry. I like to do things to make our home clean and tidy and I love the feeling in my stomach when someone isn’t sure about me and thinks I’m a girl not a boy. Like when I went to the supermarket and I was mistaken for you it felt nice. But then when I thought about it I wasn’t sure if that meant I was a boyish girl and I started to think about what it might be like for you so I tried to be even more feminine. I was glancing at myself to see how I stood and I felt I was bringing out the girl in you. I’m sure that you would be one of the most beautiful girls at school if you wanted. The more I looked in the mirror the more I wanted to change my hairstyle and I wondered what it would be like to have a professional make-over.’

‘Don’t you dare Ty Thompson. I will never live it down if you do. I like the image I’ve got thanks very much. You don’t think I really would be like Sarah Carter and her friends do you. All they think about is boys and make-up. I wouldn’t allow make-up if I was head.’

‘Well I’m only telling you my feelings and I’m glad you are more open about yours. What about the guys you are friends with? When they see me at school they are going to think it strange that I’m not interested in their humor or showing off. I don’t relate to them.’

I’ve been thinking a lot about that so why not see how much you like to be me this weekend and we stay like this 100% of the time? Then take it from there and if we like it we could find some excuses to change places at school for a while.’

‘You’ve thought about this a lot Taylor haven’t you? Does it mean so much to you?’

‘Yes Ty I really want to escape my body for a while and from the stupid menses each month. I feel like I want to just get up and act normal.’

‘Well, ‘bro’ if you like we can try this weekend and just be the persons that we think we’d be if we were permanently like we are now. I don’t mind since I’ve promised mum I’ll do chores and it’s more fun to do them as a girl. I can be natural.’

‘Great Ty. You’re a brick. I owe you.’

‘Yes you owe me a lot. But I can’t be sure that we’ll avoid any embarrassments for each other so you’ll have to take more care than you did earlier.’

‘I’m sorry I couldn’t help it. The guys were egging me on saying that they were surprised since at school I was considered a bit effeminate. I wanted to show them I’m not. Sorry you’re not. But I realise we have a bit of a problem there unless we have more swop days.’

After that we cleared up and for a change Taylor seemed to be more like a sister than a brother until she suddenly realized and then she shot off upstairs. 10 minutes late ‘he’ reappeared in my sleeping shorts and a floppy t shirt with ‘his’ hair flattened to ‘his’ head.

‘OK we swopped rooms so I’m heading up. Is that OK with you.?’

‘Yes but you see I tidied your room so you might find a few more changes to it by the end of the weekend. Mum will be asking you to help out a lot more.’

‘Aghhhhhh.’

‘I’m only joking. We’ll manage ‘bro’ and we might not fool mum but I’m sure we can fool the guys at school. I would love to see their reactions if I took over your personality and worked on it a bit.’

‘OK ty I trust you to take care and I’ll do my best too. I have to practice tomorrow so did you iron my kit?’

‘I’m not your slave you know. Yes I did it’s in the airing cupboard where mum always hangs it.’

‘He’ hugged me and kissed my forehead and left me to turn out the lights. ‘He’ certainly had set me thinking and I wasn’t sure I’d be able to sleep thinking about how to manage the situation.

…………………….

The next morning I was awoken by the sound of Taylor barging around and slamming doors. ‘He’ was up early for a change that was unusual. I heard the shower running and peeped over the duvee to look around the room since the sun was shining through the window that doesn’t happen at the back of the house where I sleep. Then Taylor banged on the door.

‘Come on ‘sis’ time to get up. I have to meet the guys for footy practice. I’m famished. Are you eating or shall I get my own.’

‘err, no I’m going to take a bath. I need a long soak since I have a lot to think about after last night.’

The door opened and ‘he’ stuck his head around. His face was covered in shaving lather that was supposed to be a joke. ‘He’ had a razor and I jumped up telling ‘him’ to be careful. He just laughed and said ‘don’t worry ‘sis’ it’s just a joke. I’ll was it off and use some of dad’s aftershave though. What he doesn’t know about he can’t worry about.’

I threw one of the cushions at the door as ‘he’ disappeared back to the bathroom.

Well my weekend as Taylor was going to start in a scabby old dressing gown by the look of it so I decided to raid a silk one from mums wardrobe. I could put it in with the smalls I’d be wearing and dry it before mum returned. Taylor was rushing downstairs by now so I entered the bathroom to clear the mess before I could run the bath. I looked at myself through the steam filled mirror. I saw a girl in the fog. Yes that’s exactly how I was feeling right now like a girl in the fog looking for a way.

I used some of the bath salts and oils that mum uses and lit two of her candles. Maybe I’d better at least see Taylor before ‘he’ dashed off so we could agree a few rules for the day.

What a surprise she had made toast and tea and right now I didn’t see tyler in front of me but the natural beauty of my sister Taylor with the sun in her hair albeit that any sign of a bust had disappeared under her football shirt.

‘Taylor you are quite beautiful you know. I don’t know why on earth you want to play football and act like a boy.’

‘Don’t worry ‘sis’ this is my David Beckham look. He always looks a little bit feminine and I decided I can’t just turn up as a butch boy since everybody knows you are the softer side of the line. I have to work on it gradually and then it’s less obvious.’

‘Just as long as they don’t kiss you in a passionate way when you score.’

‘Ha Ha , very funny.’

‘his’ bag and boots and football were all prepared and so I stepped up to him to take a proper look. Yes ‘he’d’ be OK and I quite liked the way he’d gelled his hair. I’d have to try it myself on my Tyler days.

She gave me a hug and I could feel she was stronger than me so I might have to start working out a bit. It was nice for us to hug and she then broke the moment so we didn’t get too sloppy by showing me her muscular arms. Well I supposed they weren’t bad for a girl but I wondered how my arms would look if I trained as much as she did. I never had much luck so far.

‘He’ was off as soon as ‘he’ heard the pip of a car horn. Hardly chance to agree anything for later. ‘Taylor have you got your mobile phone so I can call you.’

‘No ‘sis.’

‘Taylor come back you need it.

‘No I don’t I’ve got yours so just call yourself if you need me.’

There was her phone on the table. I’d have to change that and get a better color if I was going to use it. What about if we get calls? What about if mum calls? Then I realized she was smarter than me this morning. Mum was sure to call me later so I needed to work on my voice a bit.

I sat watching a Saturday morning magazine programme and nibbled on my toast and sipped my tea. Looking around me I could see a lots of little jobs that needed doing so I started to make a list before tidying up and heading for the bathroom.

I stood in front of the full length mirror and decided that I should get rid of what hair I had on my chest and arms and legs and for sure I should shave today since it was a few days since I’d removed the last sprouts of hair on my upper lip.

I thought of lots of things to add to my list whilst I lay there and the water was warm and nice. The birds were singing outside and I closed my eyes to think a bit about Taylors ideas. I guessed it was OK whilst it was odd days but it was a much bigger challenge than she expected. I’d have to plan this carefully and consider all eventualities.

Then I jumped up as the house phone rang. Ahhh that’ll be mum. Ahhh, OHHH, EEEEh, Ahhhhh, EEEEEEEh.

I wrapped a towel around me and ran downstairs to the phone. I picked it up ‘hello’.

Hi Taylor is that you or is it Tyler. It’s Taylor mum. Don’t tease me.

Then there was a noise of a van outside. Blast it’s probably the postman with a parcel. ‘Hang on mum whilst I get the door. I’ll call you back.’

Tyler,Taylor Swap Days Chapter 6

..............................................................................................

Tyler is stuck at home taking on the role of Taylor whilst Taylor is playing football. Tylers girly time gets interrupted but it leads to new experiences.

........................................................................

I doubted Mum believed that I was Taylor even though I was answering her phone. Some people can’t tell who is who on the telephone but I always feel mums are more tuned in. Luckily I felt she e didn’t get chance to continue the conversation so maybe I got away with it. Dare I even hope she thought I was Taylor? If I could fool mum then with a fair wind in the sails I could fool anybody. On the downside her reaction was to question the voice even though she’d rung Taylors number so there must have been some doubt in her mind

The doorbell rang again and this time it was a longer push on the button. I hurried as much as I could to answer it in case it was a parcel. Otherwise in UK now the service has gone and I’d end up having to go to the Central Post Office to collect unless mum did it. We have to pay for that and it’s money for old rope if the delivery guys are quick enough to escape. At least we had two rings so maybe they were more gracious these days. I lifted my towel around my chest area to cover up as much as possible and secured it tightly like I’d seen mum do. Not that I had much to hide up top except some soft tissue that were hardly boobies. I guess I could have slung on a t shirt and shorts but something inside me wanted to stay as I was and it was a nice feeling. So I just popped on a pair of mums slippers from the bathroom that she used when cleaning and tidying. I liked the open toe and the raised heel and they were comfortable enough.

Strangeagain how such a simple thing made me feel different and I felt completely at ease. One day I might even pluck up the courage to have a pedicure to remove the boyishness. Not that they were large or even rough. I’d never seen Taylor with painted toenails so I thought it was time I corrected that. Another weapon in my armoury if she took advantage of me with chores and taking too long to return home.

My hair was damp and I’d no idea how to wrap a towel so I picked up a shower cap. As I rushed downstairs I checked myself in the mirror. OMG I seemed to have changed sex already so I’d better act it out. I looked through the spyhole on the front door and it was the parcel express man. It wasn’t my intention to be seen as I ran down the stairs but I thought he got a glimpse of me as I passed the long landing window. He appeared to be looking for signs of life rather than what colour wallpaper we had.

As I approached the door I decided to call in my best feminine voice . ‘Just a minute I’m coming, Do you mind to leave it on the step please.’

There was an immediate reply ‘I can’t dear you have to sign for it. Company rules l’m afraid.’

OK I could just open the door slightly and hide from his clear view. I unlocked the door and drew a deep breath opening it wide enough to reach for the parcel. But no chance to receive it since he just pushed the door ajar wide enough for me to reach his notebook as he fumbled around in his pocket for his pen.

He looked me straight in the eye that was a bit unnerving ‘Sorry Miss if I disturbed you but it’s the rules. Sign first. But don’t worry It’s not the first time I’ve seen someone straight out of the shower and I’ve got a daughter your age so I know how to be discreet. I’m no longer allowed to see her even though I’ve bathed her many times as she was growing up ‘

‘Actually I was in the bath not the shower so that’s why it took so long. ‘

‘Never mind dear but you young girls are all the same. You’ll all shrivel up the amount of time you occupy bathrooms. Anyway sign please and hurry up or you’ll catch your death. ‘

I sensed his eyes moving away from mine and it was obvious that he was eyeing me up and down . He was smiling to himself and I was feeling like I was standing naked.

I guess he felt he had to say something to compensate for his leer ‘Well you must have broken a few hearts dear. Better you get back and thanks for making my day. One of the perks of this job if you know what I mean. No offence intended.‘

I thought he was obviously feeling a bit of a letch and how would he feel if it was his daughter out in the cold?

Anyway he finally thrust it into my Hand. [thankfully it was the parcel] . Then he just turned away wishing me a good day before he went of whistling like a blackbird. It sounded like Postman Pat and his Black and White Cat and as he reached the gate he turned and laughed then gave me a wave. How nice to be cheerful and have a smile. He seemed like an exception though. I certainly was hoping for a good day if I could get around to it. I wanted to finish my bath first and no doubt the water would be cold by now. I shut the door and locked it and spied through the spyhole. My tummy was churning again and I was getting to enjoy the feeling. He’d taken me for sis and I shook my head to myself in mock disbelief. Taylor wasn’t getting all the fun at least was getting chance to experience what it felt like to be a girl although being ogled wasn’t so nice.

The parcel was for mum so I thought I’d better call her back.

‘Yes Tyler why did it take so long? Why are you using Taylors phone? Where is she?’

Sorry mum Taylor must have picked mine up by mistake since they were both on charge. Lie of course. The difference is significant. Mine is the plain one and Taylors isn’t exactly fashionable but maybe I could fix that later since Jane has a spare cover.

‘ She’ll be back soon so it doesn’t really matter although I keep getting text messages from her friends. Her facebook account also looks busy. Anyway sorry mum the parcel express man called with a parcel. It looks like it’s from Debenhams . ‘

‘Look Tyler don’t go prying on your sisters facebook site or with her messages. You wouldn’t like it if she was looking at yours. ‘

‘OK mum don’t worry I’m not about to embarrass her by telling you about her boyfriends and what she gets up to. ‘

‘What do you mean? Is she misbehaving? What have you found for Goodness sake. ‘

‘Nothing mum you don’t need to fret I was joking. She is a bit too much for the boys at school since she can beat most of them although she does have lots of girlfriends.’

I heard mum sigh as if to suggest she wished it was me with the girlfriends but in fact I rarely had chance. The only kiss I had was in fact the day before after the walk home and that was me kissing a boy. I guess it’s easier for girls to show affection and if I work on flutering my eyelids who knows.

Mum intervened.t ‘On the subject of your sister the parcel is for her. Sorry nothing for you this time but this is my treat to try to get her to change her image a bit. She needs to act less like a boy or people will think you have a twin brother not a sister. Where is she anyway? Are you covering for her? I hope she hasn’t been doing anything wrong or sleeping out. Where is she? ‘

‘Oh she just went to the shop for something. Girls business she said. So I didn’t know what she meant and I’m off to football anyway so I’m late. ‘

‘Go on then dear and tell her I called. I hope you are both OK and that she’s looking after you. ‘

‘Mum I’m not a baby, she doesn’t need to look after me I can look after myself. ‘

‘I know but she is the sensible one who I rely on so enjoy your day and help her. I be back on Monday since I’m on a late shift. ‘

I headed back to the bathroom and the water was cold so I ran the hot tap. I let the towel fall to the ground. Even without breasts I looked like sis should look with the shower cap. I was slim and it must be cold since I hardly noticed anything in the pubic area. Maybe I should trim a bit and warm up but it was better that size or I wouldn’t know what to do with it inside Taylors panties. I gusee she’d love to have one to be one of the lads. I don’t know how she managed to shower with the rest of the team. I hoped she was taking care.

I left the shower cap in place whilst I soaked. I liked looking at myself and it was what mum does anyway so I felt this was the best way to experience a nice girly bath. I touched my nipples. They were sensitive today and easily reacted to the touch. I wondered why boys seemed to have more on top these days and why most could fill a bra. I would love to have the pleasure of my own boobies but only if I could remove them if the situation got awkward. I stroked them and then cupped each breast in turn. It would be nice to have a bust for just a day anyway but better still for a whole weekend. How else to get the full effect of switching roles with Taylor? It must be ever so nice to show off your figure. Lord knows what the parcel man would have thought if I was as big as mum.

Now it was hair removal time so what light hair I had was quickly removed. It wasn’t difficult and I had no razor burns or anything but how to trim my pubes? A razor wasn’t going to work or I might nick myself. I didn’t want to have a close shave anyway.

I stepped out of the bath and wrapped the towel again. In the cupboard was a ladytrim electric shaver. That was perfect so I dried the hair and started to give myself short back and sides.

I did my best to shape it and there I was again. I wouldn’t be running around the changing rooms showing off and in any case I usually found a quiet corner and turned my back to be discreet. It didn’t always work and sometimes I’d get pushed into a cold shower. I hoped Taylor was impoving my whimp image. But goodness knows what would happen if they dragged her from the corner. I should have warned her.

I stepped back into the bath and freshened the water again and tidied up using the razor. Mmm I could get used to this. Girly time is obviously important but ever so nice.

I washed my hair and used one of mums shampoo shades to change the colour a bit. It was light brown but I rather fancied a blond look but mum wasn’t likely to buy that colour. I checked the packet for instructions. Fortnately it was supposed to wash out after three or four shampoos so if it came out too light I’d have to spend time in the shower until I got back to normal.

I used some of mums facial cream and her body lotion that helped smooth my legs and give them a nice sheen. I had good shape in my calves for such a skinny boy and I thought I’d treat myself to some tights later to see how they compared to the girls at school. I suppose it was a good excuse to go out so I found some of Taylors mor feminine clothes that fitted and dried my hair. I put on a little eye shadow and some mascara and a tight touch of lip gloss. That did wonders for my dry lips.

I looked closely in the mirror and examined my face. I needed to remove a few stray hairs that made my eyebrows untidy and took care not to go too mad. I couldn’t understand why Taylor didn’t pay more attention to her eyebrows. If I was her I’d be trimming them much more to give proper shape.

When I had finished I was so pleased with the results that I just had to take a picture on my mobile. After two or three attempts I got a picture that was as close as I could get to Taylor. The make up worked but I guess anybody who knew her would know it wasn’t really her.

I looked at the parcel on the bed but it wasn’t mine to open as much as I wanted to. I’d have to wait for Taylor or send a message. I opted for the latter and waited for a reply. She would be playing by now.

I headed out having satisfied myself that I could pass. Not that I needed to look like a model or anything since Taylor wasn’t the girly type. Still today she was going to be a lot more feminine than usual and to start with she was wearing low heels and carrying a shoulder bag. I can’t recall Taylor wearing heels since mum insisted at our cousins wedding. So the shoes in her cupboard were like new. I was almost tempted for a higher heel from our sisters wardrobe but not this trip. I didn’t want to attrct too much attention but a little would be welcome and I was feeling really excited.

Halfway to the shop I got a text from Taylor. Not a happy bunny. No way was she interested in mums idea to feminise her and so she said she needed my help so mum would not be upset.

I called her, especially since the call was to her account and she told me I could open the parcel and if I liked the things mum had bought I could wear them. No way was she going to change her image but I might help her there. I let her know my thoughts anyway. She should try harder to change her image and show her figure and her beauty. The immediate response was short and sweet and is not printable. Too many **** and !!!. I told Taylor I was going to put a picture on Facebook and whilst she wasn’t excited when she understood it was to be a Selfie she didn’t say anything negative. I persuaded her it was good for both our images that were in need of repair.

Anyway back to the Saturday walk. It’s a wonderful feeling to be noticed when walking out. It felt like it was my birthday or something. Maybe this was a new me and I felt so lucky. So lucky to be a twin and to have a sister who was happy to share. Mum often says half a cake is better than none and maybe this is my half a cake. I liked the click of the heels and I didn’t rush. I took small steps and took care to place one foot in front of the other to accentuate my butt movement. Goodness knows what I looked like but hell who cares I was so happy. I just hoped Taylor was having just as good a time chasing a soccer ball and playing rough with the guys.

All very exciting and wonderfully gratifying. Whilst this experience was new to me it was like I was born to be Ty. Once again it stirred feelings in my lower tummy that I liked. It was as if I was able to experience multi organisms without any stiffness. This was a much better feeling than early morning excitement because there was some sort of relief of built up emotions. I had to focus or I’d be wet rather than damp and in any case the feeling of just stopping short was as good as it gets.

Looking in shop windows was another nice experience. It’s nice to see a reflection of a woman instead of a schoolboy and I felt more mature. I wondered what mum would think. Could I be the feminine girl she craved for and take the pressure away from Taylor. Mmm don’t go there yet young lady. I couldn’t believe how a change of clothes and shoes were bringing out the girl in me and it wouldn’t be bad to spend more time like this would it?

I didn’t feel as guilty as I had felt a few days ago. Taylor is very happy with the arrangement so surely its acceptable and we aren’t bringing harm to anyone. I did want to spend more time like this. Taylor was right. She was more boy than me afterall and I could easily develop a more feminine personality. I wanted to rush back to open the parcel but equally I liked the fresh air and the opportunity to be Ty. How lucky for me that I am slim and resemble my twin. Maybe there was a mix up at the hospital but even so how did I end up with the boy bits and Taylor with the girl bits?

The best part of the walk was passing a group of boys hanging out. At first I was going to cross the road but I thought it was more sensible to carry on. They were all a bit shy really and stepped aside. I recognised two of them but they didn’t seem to identify me. I could sense all of them looking at me as I walked on. I didn’t catch the comments but I don’t think they were negative.

I bought a few things from the 24 hr Tesco Express and saw a girl from school filling shelves as a part time job. It was Tracey Walker and she knew Taylor so I had to acknowledge her. I smiled and waved and she was about to approach me when I was saved by her supervisor coming around the corner of the aisle to check on her.

I decided I should not push my luck so I paid and headed back home. Another message from Taylor that seemed strange coming from my own phone. She better not access my facebook while she had my phone or I’d kill her.

Another message came through on Taylors phone. It was a skype message from one of her school friend who wanted to chat. I accepted.

It seemed that I was able to convince them that I was Taylor although I had to take care with my voice. I had an offer to meet up later with several girls from school who were going out for pizzas to Pizza Express. They were shopping first but knowing Taylor would never accept such an invitation I tried to decline. In the end I had to compromise and meet later for coffee once they were half complete. I couldn’t wait to tease Taylor and at least I got a call rather than a text.

‘Don’t be stupid Ty you’ll spoil everything. ‘

‘Sorry I said yes and besides it’ll be fun and you can’t criticise since I trusted you with the guys so why not me? ‘

‘Well just go steady with the make up and the clothes. I already saw what you posted on my Facebook site. It won’t take long for me to be the laughing stock. I’m not the girly type. ‘

፠don’t know ‘sis ‘you have the feature you just need to promote them a bit more. I can do a lot of things to help but I can only go so far before reality kicks in.

Tyler Taylor Swop Days - Chapter 7

Julie D Cole

As I arrived home I was surprised to see Taylor being dropped off and when they saw me his two friends go out of the car. I knew both of them by sight but neither had much to do with me at school. But now they did through Taylor joining the team.

"Hey Tyler who’s this then? You didn’t introduce us. Are you frightened we might steal her or something?"‘

Taylor looked a bit awkward and didn’t get chance to say anything before one of them stepped forward pushing “ him ‘’ out of the way. “Hi I’m Austin so pleased to meet you. How come you didn’t come to watch us play? Your Bro’did OK. He scored. He deserves your support. “

He was a bit full of himself and I remembered that he was always fancying himself with the girls at school and bragged about who he’d taken. Probably it was all talk but not fair on the girls who were involved. I just smiled as best I could and shook hands taking half a step backwards before he had any chance to make a move. No way was I going to be his target. Taylor recovered and put his arm across the front of Austin to stop him. “Oh no you don’t. This is my sister Taylor and I deliberately kept her away. I don’t trust you guys enough yet.’

I was pleased he intervened because I was still a bit scared especially if they recognised me and put two and two together about Taylor. Maybe the bit of make-up was helping or maybe he was too full of himself to look closely and he wasn't looking at my face. His eyes were up and down my body before he seemed to peer at my bust. He made some sort of animal noise.

I managed to speak. “Hi guys maybe some other time if Tyler invites me. But it’s a bit cold to be standing on the touchline and especially if Taylor is not playing regularly. “

‘Don’t worry chick. Tyler is in the team even though he’s still a bit weak. We’ll soon build him up and get him fit and then who knows how good he’ll be. He'll make a great striker and then you can come every week to watch him score”

“If Ty bulks up he might not be so quick so what's wrong with him being slim like David Beckham. I’m not keen on soccer anyway. But I do like to see Ty do well and keep up the family tradition. Dad will be so proud of him when he gets home.. “

With that I smiled and walked to the front door conscious of learing eyes on my rear so I took care to accentuate the movement even though the low heels gave me a natural sway. Taylor rushed past to open it and turned to say goodbye to his mates”. Austin shouted to me. “Goodby sis , see you soon we hope. “

‘Sorry about that Ty I didn’t think they’d be so pushy. I won’t let it happen again. At least I don’t think they saw through us. Do you? ‘

‘No it was a good test bro and maybe we can get away with it but no chance to push our luck. For sure there is no way that bighead is getting close enough to me to find out. He is full of himself. Who does he think he is. He's not even good looking. “

“Well the girls at school seem to like him. “

“Do you fancy him then? Is that why you are in the team?’

“No way. I’m just saying. That’s what the guys think. He seems to have success picking up girls. “

“Good luck to him then . I’m thankful I’m not one of them. I wouldn’t want him to touch me and no way would I let him fondle my bust false or not. I have to protect your reputation.“

“ Thanks for that I should be grateful. You have made a realistic job of it and they seemed to move as you walked. Any guy would fancy you today. I hope you can make them less prominent though. Can't you tone them down a bit or I’m going to have to remove the binding when I go to school and wear a bra?. It will make our swops more difficult. “

“OK I'll think about it but they make me feel good. Anyway did you enjoy the game? “

“Fantastic. I had a good game and I did score a great goal. I left the full back standing. It was fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. “

“So how will they bulk you up? I hope you don’t get caught out when you are training or we’ll never live it down. “

“Don't worry it's just playing around with a a few weights and things in the gym. I’m supposed to meet them on Monday nights for supervised fitness training but I haven’t decided if it’s possible yet. I can’t exactly get changed with the guys or do heavy lifts with this binding or I'll burst out. Anyway the binding only works if I wear a loose shirt or a training top.. “

“Maybe we should stop before this gets out of hand. Why do you want to play soccer anyway? Can’t you just be one of the guys and be satisfied with the our swop days like me.”

“Well Ty if you want my opinion the way things have gone to date and just looking at you I can’t see you being satisfied with the odd day.”

“I've been giving it some thought. I was thinking that maybe we should switch back and be normal for the rest of the weekend. I need to do some studying and all this is too distracting. I haven’t done any work yet. “

“Well I don’t want to switch back and anyway girls study as well as boys so what’s the problem?” 

“It’s just that I feel different and I want to enjoy the experience so studying goes out of my mind. Mum will kill me if my grades keep dropping.”

“Why don’t we set a fixed time then and I’ll help if you want. Maths is a good subject for me and seems to be your weakest. Shall we do two hours together later. Maybe I can put in some papers for you. “

“No don’t even think about it. I’m happy to study together but no way will I cheat. It has to be me on my own for the study work. “

“Ok how about something to eat whilst we discuss it? “

“You are always eating. I think you must have a worm inside or something. I was thinking we open mum’s parcel first. Shall we? “

“Not really interested but if needs must let’s open it and then get to the food. “

The parcel was in the middle of the kitchen table where I’d left it but Taylor wouldn’t touch it. I took the scissors and gently cut it open reveling the contents. There were several pairs of panties with matching bras, two tops and two skirts. I opened each packet and offered them to Taylor but they may as well have been red hot pokers the way ‘he ‘discarded them.

“No way. I’m not wearing these whatever mum says. I have my own stuff. Mum must be mad. You can have them but for me it’s no way. “

“Come on Taylor at least you should try them on for mums sake. Come on please.”

“Hurry up then but they won’t suit me and I don’t like this girly stuff. I’m fine as I am thankyou very much.

“Come on Taylor, I’ll leave you in your room to try and if you are too embarrassed to show me then so be it. “

We went upstairs and for the first time ever Taylor undressed in front of me. She was a little bruised from playing soccer with a few scratches but as she removed the binding and tussled her hair a bit the girl in her came back to life. I wished her bust was mine. I would never hide it. She was a bit narrow across the hip same as me and I guess from the back we had similar frames. She was more muscular across her back with stronger legs that were longer than mine giving her a height advantage.

I took each item and handed them to her. It was the first time she ever stood fully naked in front of me since we used to bathe together years ago. I think I would have trimmed my pubic hairs a bit more than she did and I must have been staring because she said ‘Tyler please.”

The bras fitted perfectly and did look very feminine. I had a really beautiful sister who should be proud of her assets. The tops and skirts changed her appearance completely.

“Taylor you look fabulous. Mum is right they suit you and make you look feminine and you are beautiful. “

“See that's what I mean. I didn’t want to do this Ty and no way I’d go out wearing such clothes.“

“Taylor please do me a favour and co-operate. Just put on a pair of tights to cover your scratches. Let me choose for you and whilst you are putting them on I’ll find some shoes to match. A nice pair of low heels from your wardrobe. You've never worn any of them and I just broke in a pair for you.“

" If we must but where do I find the tights and why heeled shoes? “

“The tights are mine. I just bought them today in a pack of three. The shoes I recommend are from Janes collection that are higher. She has more shoes than Clarks’ and could open a shop. “

Reluctantly she co-operated.

“Oh Taylor you look great. Come and look at yourself in mums mirror. Taylor it proves what I think. You need to show your attributes. You are very pretty.”

“Ty I don’t want to look like this at all. I look too much like a girl and I prefer the boy look. This is all too much. I hate it.”

“But Taylor look at us. We are true twins. We are more like twin sisters now and if I use the higher heels we are the same height. Why don’t you try to please mum?”

“Ty I’m stripping off again now so why don’t you have a turn. “

Reluctantly I agreed she should strip and I stripped.I could see Taylor looking at my bare chest and my manhood. Well more lijke boyhood.

“Well the guys at soccer are bigger than you and much more muscular. I guess you look better as a girl. Pity you don’t bulk up a bit since you’d attract a lot of girls."

“I don’t want to bulk up and anyway if I did we’d not have been able to swap. “

“By the time I’d finished trying on some of the new clothes I was feeling more girl than boy and was desperate to carry on our swop. I'd love these gifts from mum. With make-up I lost any masculinity and since Taylor wore none make-up made me look a little older. I'd have to persuade her to let me give her a make-over some time.

“See you suit the clothes better than me or the clothes suit you. So Ty why don’t you have them..I'm done here let's eat. “

“Well at least you have to decide which you will select to show mum first and I'll have the rest.”

" OK I will if you will. Is it a deal?”

' I guess I’ll have to think about it carefully. Maybe mum suspects something and it won't be much of a shock.”

Taylor quickly dressed.

“I’ll be downstairs making a sandwich. Stay like that if you like or get changed to suit yourself.”

' OK I’ll be down shortly.”

Tyler Taylor Swop Days - Chapter 8
by
Julie D Cole

Tyler and Taylor are identical twins but male and female. They both have interests of the opposite sex so have enjoyed swopping identities from time to time and as yet have not been outed.

......................................................................................................................................................................

My head told me I should avoid further temptation and go downstairs immediately but my heart always seemed to rule my head when I was alone in a room with access to girly things. I wanted to stay. On top of that recent experiences swopping with Taylor were so exhilarating that I had a thirst now that seemed unquenchable.

The more we swapped the more I wanted it and it was having a good effect. I had already shed quite a few pounds and my waist size was already less than Taylors by some 2 or 3 inches that brought problems in itself. Some of her clothes were now one or two sizes too big but luckily most that mum had bought would have been tight for her and relaxed fit for me. Mum always said UK sizes were all over the place with no consistency between stores.

Taylor was pleased for me that I’d slimmed down quite a bit around the waist but said to take care I didn’t go mad. She also commented on some excess fat in the chest and hip areas and said I needed to work out at the gym or she’d have to diet to match that was the last thing she wanted if she was to compete and play football regularly. She was also worried we’d not be able to pass as each other anymore.

I couldn’t help myself since I was keen to explore how far I could go with body shaping. I looked OK in skinny jeans and wanted Taylor to start wearing them so I could borrow them and build up a wardrobe. She had no interest to show herself off to boys at college. She preferred my Levi’s and the small men’s jeans she’d bought. She’d no interest to have an hour glass figure and she just wanted to tone up. She was focused on turning feminine body fat into muscle especially in the butt area that she said would help her balance and hold off defenders.

I had skipped quite a few meals due to my target to slim a few sizes and had cut down portion sizes cutting out burgers and trips to MacDonalds. More than that I had also cut out sugary drinks and replaced them with bottled water so my waist size had already dropped 2 inches. I think if I’d been lucky enough to be born as the daughter instead of the son I might even have ended up as a serious slimmer since I would have wanted to be a model.

Unlike Taylor I just love soft feminine materials and I like to read fashion magazines. I used to buy them regularly and sneak them into the house and I hid them under my mattress until I found a way to make a secret compartment in my wardrobe. I loved looking at the delicate styles and the wide range of colors available to women, even when they went for the mannish look. I wanted to at least copy that style if possible without raising suspicion but as much as I tried Taylor objected. She took control of me from an early age.

It seemed the more Taylor and I swopped roles the keener I was to venture further. It was terribly frustrating and I wanted to explore and have friends like she made both as a girl and now taking up my identity as Ty. She seemed get her cake and eat it and I got nothing. Still part of the problem for me was I needed secrecy. I realized long ago that I would have been ridiculed if spotted out dressed whereas even now if her friends saw she didn’t have the right equipment to qualify for the team it would have been just treated as a joke and quickly forgotten. It seems there is zero tolerance one way and infinite tolerance the other way and I could never understand the angry women who insist to be equal and have all the supposed advantages that men enjoy. They seem to be given lots of air time in the UK to prattle on about disadvantage and exploitation by men and lack of opportunities. Disadvantage?- I would like to experience their lifestyle. Just step aside and I’ll give up my seat as a man for one of you. Exploitation ? – Don’t men get exploited just the same? Lack of Opportunities? – we never get the same opportunities to dress like the opposite sex without being ridiculed or attacked. Life is so frustrating at times.

I sat on my sisters bed and looked at the gifts that mum had bought. They were beautiful and I wished they were all for me. So delicate with much better materials than boy clothes. I couldn’t understand why Taylor could just walk away and ignore them. Mum had great taste and she obviously knew what sizes to buy. If only I could accept Taylors offer to keep them without us both upsetting mum.

I stayed upstairs for ages trying all the items and I looked through our wardrobes looking for matches and what might look best. I paraded around in the underwear looking in mums full length mirrors and completely forgot that I’d agreed to do some study work. As I was applying some deeper colored lipstick to match a top from Taylor’s cupboard she came back through the door looking for me. I was fully dressed and had padded out a little more. At last I felt complete. This was the real me in the mirror not an impersonation. I knew I couldn’t pretend anymore and I looked for a reaction from Taylor.

“Oh Ty I don’t believe my eyes. You are everything mum wants me to be. I feel so guilty that I have disappointed her. You are much more feminine than I can ever be and I wish that mum and dad could understand our problems and that we could flick a switch to change things. You are the girl that mum wants me to be but I just can’t. I tried so hard to understand her but you know this is me and I’m not a girly girl. I must have a hormone problem and it’s been getting worse since I went through puberty. I wish I’d been born a boy and I hate my periods and I wish I could stop them. The guys would never cope with this problem whilst trying to run and tackle and playing with the cramps is no picnic. I can’t understand why we were born like this. Are we being punished for not going to church regularly when we were young or did we do something wrong in a former life? I’m so happy when we swop over and I’m being you. When I look at you each time we swap I see such happiness in your face. It’s like clouds above our heads blow away and the sun shines through.”

“Stop it please Taylor, you are making me fill up. I feel so comfortable like this but I am feeling very emotional right now. I could cry buckets. Are we doing the right thing or is this all going to end in grief? I wish I could help you and take some of the pain of cramps for you but I can’t. I guess I have the advantage of being feminine without the problems that go with it.”

We hugged for the first time in a while. Looking at her sadness I saw Taylor as a sister again and the masculine aura disappeared from her face. We were always close but despite our intentions to have fun and limit the time we swopped we were both wanting more and I felt that probably my desires to be feminine and agree for her to go out and about as me was creating more problems for her than for me. She looked so comfortable and had been accepted. I wondered if I should bring everything to an end before she reached a point of no return. But I knew she would resist. She was very persuasive. Maybe I would have to leave home for a while to remove the temptation. This at least might allow us both space to find ourselves and return to some sort of normality. I knew I could go and stay with Jane and find a job but right now wasn’t the right time to say anything. Taylor must have seen my brain clunking around and she picked up on my concerns.

‘Ty, please don’t feel sad or bad about this. I am as concerned as you are about our situation but whatever will be, will be as far as I’m concerned. Of course there is a risk but surely we’re not hurting anybody at the moment. I will be sorry if you decide you don’t want to let our swop days continue. But and it’s a great big but, at the same time I’m telling you I won’t stop whatever you decide. So don’t spoil your ruby red lips with a moon-face and relax about it and lighten up. You look all girl and the make-up seals it. Please do us both a favor and thicken your lashes for the rest of the weekend. You have nice eyes and when you flutter your lashes like you did just now they are like butterflies. It makes me smile. Mum won’t miss a bit of mascara so who’s going to know? Show them off like she does. I think I might give Darren a call. By the way you got a message from him on your phone earlier.’

‘What? No you can’t call him. Please don’t. Give me my phone back. Let me see what he said.”

“I left your phone downstairs so come on out of here and have something to eat and we’ll get your studies out of the way. I need to be somewhere soon.”

“Just let me tidy all these things up and clean my face. Has the mascara run with my tears?”

“HaHa what mascara? You need more. Are you sure you inserted the brush? I’m no make-up artist but I think even I could have done a better job.”

We went downstairs and I looked at the sandwich Taylor had made. I’m not into her doorstoppers. We sat at the breakfast bar and it gave me chance to sit high on a stool and show off my legs that I’ve wanted to do for ages. Taylor smiled and picked up my phone and took a couple of photo’s. We liked them so much that we took some selfies of the two of us. We did look like brother and sister once she slicked her hair back again. She was so pleased that she threatened to post on my Facebook page whilst she had my phone. I reminded her that friends would assume it was her that stopped her in her tracks.

She decided to change again ready to go out to meet her friends as soon as we finished my study work whilst I nibbled on the doorstop whilst reading Darren’s message. He had invited me to a party since he had no date. I wondered if he’d realized it was a back-handed invitation as if I was his last resort. I doubted he would follow up so I thought about calling him to ask for details. I chickened out but then in a moment of madness I changed my mind and he made me feel quite excited. I told him I was flattered but I was behind on my studies and needed to hand in some work on Monday. We talked for a while and I told him that mum had bought me some clothes and new underwear that seemed to excite him. He at least sounded more talkative today and after a while I had to excuse myself.

I told Taylor when I went upstairs to our study room. She shook her head and said I was stupid and I needed to take chances in life and who better to trust than Darren because he didn’t have much idea about women. She said he’d never twig. I supposed she was right but made the excuse that I was scared of being outed.

She had the last word as usual “You might have a bigger challenge ahead than me but I promise to help you through this until we decide our paths from now on. It starts now as far as I’m concerned. No more hiding. Let’s both come out and face whatever lies ahead together. We are brother and sister whatever and we have both had the good fortune to experience both sides. So you will go to the party whatever you say so think about what you’re going to wear and get him called back.’

‘No I can’t sis. Don’t push me please.’

“Come on just forget it for now and give me back your phone in case mum calls. Why did you give him your number anyway ? I think you like him and he had his chances to work you out if he had any doubts. He didn’t did he so go with it girl. Just text him and tell him you’ve changed your mind.“

“I can’t take the chance. He’s not stupid. Anyway he’ll see the text is from Ty not Taylor.’
‘No he won’t he’ll have stored your mobile number as Ty.’

‘ OK maybe you are right. I’ll think about it.’
‘Here give me the phone. I’ll send the message for you. Just be ready by 7-30pm. I’ll be gone so I can’t push you out of the door or look out for you.’

“I’ve never done this before. I don’t know what to wear or what to do.”

“It’s no use looking at me Ty. You have more idea about fashion than me and you don’t have to do anything. He’ll be hypnotized and you’ll be lucky if he makes a move since you said he has no track record with girls.“

I resisted temptation and I did my best to study for two hours without getting changed. Taylor helped as promised so I made a lot more progress than I expected and when timeout came up on my phone I was quite surprised. I had been much more relaxed and concentrated on what I was doing with occasional support from Taylor who was indeed helpful on the maths. As she got up to leave she said she’d noticed a change in me that she put down to me feeling relaxed and aside displaying more feminine mannerisms she said my voice had lifted a few octaves. She kissed me as she left and that must have been the first time since we were at primary school together.

Within a few minutes I heard her shout goodbye and the front door slammed behind her but without any complaint from mum. I admired myself from all angles in the wardrobe mirrors and decided to follow Taylors advice and experiment with my eyelashes. Mum had lots of make-up in her room so for sure she wasn’t going to miss anything. I found a half used tube in a black shade that was supposed to give extra curl. There was an array of eyeliner pencils. I doubted she’d miss anything so I had no conscience to borrow them. Taylor was right and I could see both mum and my sister Jane in the reflection in the bathroom mirror. Neither were ever seen without make up whatever the time of day or day of the week and I realized I would feel the same.

I had no time to respond to Darren and Taylor hadn’t sent a message so I assumed that our date wasn’t to be. On the upside I was all alone so it was a great opportunity to play dress up and finish what I’d started earlier. I decided I’d go out for a walk as soon as dusk came. I was keen to walk in heels and feel the breeze around my legs and even test reactions from passers- by. I used mums curling tongs in an attempt to style my hair. It wasn’t perfect but it was fuller and did look better. I searched for a shoulder bag from mums collection and filled it with bits and bobs I might need. Mum did like her handbags and the one I selected wasn’t cheap.

It was around 7pm as I left the house after finishing my chores and tidying up after Taylor. I’d also checked my facebook page using Taylors phone and saw the photos that she’d posted after all. Why? I thought I’d persuaded her it was a bad idea. I bet she’d already shown them to her football friends to confirm she was me and maybe they had encouraged her to post. I hoped nobody would recognize me who might tell mum.

As I reached the first street corner there was a shout. It was Darren. ‘Hi Taylor. Are you coming with me since I’ve been waiting here intending to see if you were in since you didn’t answer my messages.

‘Oh I’m sorry. I think I must have given you Ty’s number by mistake. He’s out with his friends somewhere. It was kind of you to ask but I didn’t really fancy going to a party tonight as I had some work to do and I’m looking after the house for mum. I was just going for some milk. “

“Well you look amazing. I’ve never seen you look so nice. It’s a great pity and you’d have been the centre of attention I’d have been well proud. Do you mind if I come with you to be sure you get back home safe.”

That confirmed my worst fears since I wouldn’t have wanted to stand out in a crowd.

‘That’s kind of you. I suppose I should have called you and asked Ty to go for the milk but he shot off when I turned my back and I didn’t realize the time. I was distracted too much by my studies. “

“Do you always look so nice when you study?”

He almost caught me. “No I’d been opening some gifts from mum that she bought in the sales at Debenhams and I was matching them before I suddenly realized we were out of milk. Taylor swigged it all off earlier after his football. I was also thinking of buying something light to cook for supper. Taylor raided the fridge before he went out. I had a lasagne for both of us to share. He ate it all.’

‘It was a bit selfish of Ty. I suppose he’s typical of most lads who are always starving. I’m not like that though. I don’t eat much because I’m not very active.’

I appreciated his offer and was flattered by the protection but it spoiled my expedition. I was feeling a little vulnerable since he couldn’t take his eyes off me. I tried to keep my distance and resisted each time he made an approach to hold my hand. However once inside the shop in full light I felt scared especially when some younger lads were fooling around and making a noise. Darren put his arm around my waist in a protective way and I was grateful. We collected the milk and I had to bend to the bottom shelf of the refrigerator that was Sod’s Law. I tried to bend my knees and hold my skirt to avoid a display and I saw him look anyway. I asked him if he’d eaten and if he wanted to eat with me as compensation for me not accompanying him to the party and he jumped at the chance. We settled on spagetti bolognese with bread rolls followed by cheesecake. I saw the shop had all the ingredients for the bolognese sauce so I could cook from fresh. I didn’t want any pre-pack stuff.

Darren carried the bag of supplies home that included a bottle of red wine that he insisted to buy. I’d have to be careful that he didn’t try to get me drunk but he hardly seemed that sort of a person.

On the way back I repaid his kindness by holding his hand. A small gesture on my part but his face lit up a lot and with a smile he looked half decent. I guess it was his glasses that let him down. He needed a more modern style.

We arrived home and I saw I must have let lights on that was unusual. I must have been too excited. I was a bit apprehensive as I opened the door since I wasn’t sure this was the right thing to do in case Darren tried it on but I think Taylor was right that he would be too nervous. The lights were on in the kitchen and I could hear voices. Then I noticed mums suitcase in the hallway along with an overnight bag.

I turned to Darren and whispered. ‘Sorry but I think it would be best if we skipped supper. My mum is back and it sounds like we have a visitor as well.’

Darren didn’t want to leave me so I had to push him gently and I said to wait outside for a few minutes until I checked.

Two chapters to Go................

Tyler Taylor Swop Days - Chapter 9
by
Julie D Cole

Penultimate Chapter since I promised to finish the story.

.......................................................................................................................

Ty had gone for a walk late afternoon and bumped into a friend, Darren, who had invited him/her to a party but was too shy to follow up. She’d invited him to join her for dinner at home because Taylor was out and their parents were away. As they arrived they found lights on so Ty asked him to wait whilst she checked. He wouldn’t leave ‘her’ alone in case it was an intruder so he waited on the drive.

........................................................................................................................

Ty shouted hello as he stood in the hallway and the voices stopped.

‘Hi Taylor, I wondered where you were. Did mum tell you I was coming?’
‘Jane. It was a shock to find the lights on. You scared me to death. Mum never called or messaged unless she has spoken to Ty. Is something wrong?’
‘She is going to have to stay for a few days since gran is not well. She asked me to come home and look after you both. You look nice. But there is something different about you. Ty is that you?’
I couldn’t hope to fool Jane and I was speechless for a few moments. Then a head popped around the kitchen door.
‘Er Taylor this is my boyfriend Jeff. He is staying over tonight and maybe tomorrow night.’
‘Hi Taylor I heard a lot about you and Ty, where is he?’
‘He’s out playing football with his friends. I’ve just been to pick up something for dinner and I’ve invited a friend. We were supposed to be going to a party together tonight but changed our plans.’

Jane responded. ‘I hope we haven’t spoiled your fun. Maybe you and I should have a little chat but please bring her in. Don’t leave her standing outside. Do I know her?’
‘It’s a friend from school. He knows Ty as well. He’s the year above us.’
Jane gave me a look that told me I had some explaining to do but she didn’t make a scene and let me introduce him.
‘Jane this is Darren. We just bumped into each other at the shop so I invited him to join me for dinner since I didn’t feel like going to the party.’
‘Yes I can see that you might not have been comfortable. Come in Darren and sit with Jeff and Taylor and I will make a drink and see what we can rustle up to eat.’
Jane pulled me into the kitchen and closed the door. ‘Now then Ty please tell me what’s going on. Why are you dressed like that. He does know you are male doesn’t he?’
‘No he doesn’t he thinks I’m Taylor but I couldn’t shake him off.’
‘So by bringing him back here and cooking dinner you are going to shake him off are you.’
‘No I tried to tell him but if I do then Taylor will be upset.’
‘Why because you are wearing her clothes. I bet she will.’
‘No it was her idea. She wanted to play swops and she has joined the football team as me. They want her to sign up and play for them when the season starts.’
‘This is madness. Does mum or dad know?’
‘No they don’t. It’s only a bit of fun.’
Ty I’m sorry but look at you. I call that serious not a bit of fun. What will you do if Darren tries it on and finds the truth? It could get very nasty. Are you both mad?’
‘Well it started as fun and I went along with it. Taylor is really persuasive and she said she’d found dressing as me gave her more freedom and she wanted to prove she was as good as the boys. They accepted her as me and she’s been picked for the team. So she wanted to play. I didn’t want to let her down.’
‘But how does she get on changing and hiding her body? She’ll surely get herself into trouble.’
‘She is happy to take the risk and it’s like her dreams have come true.’
‘But what about you? Why not just stay indoors and keep out of sight.’
‘Well I guess I wanted to convince Taylor that she is attractive and how she could look if she tried. Mum wants her to be like you and to do things that you and mum used to do.’
‘I don’t know what to say. You do look very convincing and I hope I haven’t influenced you growing up. If so I’m deeply sorry.’
‘No sis I only remember happy times with you at home. I did think you were beautiful but I never had any desire to dress as a girl. Taylor and I did play around a bit but we never told anybody.’
‘Well what are you going to do now? Doesn’t Darren suspect anything? Surely Taylor can’t look masculine enough to get away with playing for a boys football team.’
‘That was my feeling when we started but so far neither of us have been challenged.’
‘Well I really don’t want to spoil your fun but I do think you need to both have a chat and consider the consequences if this gets out of hand. What do you want me to tell Jeff?’
‘Nothing please. Let’s wait until Taylor gets home at least.’
‘OK so you are Taylor for now, but Jeff is staying the night and so take that into account please. You’ll have to stay like that at least until he heads back to our place tomorrow afternoon.’
‘That’s OK it’s Sunday and no school.’

We went back to Jeff and Darren who were flicking through channels on TV. Jane said she would make a dinner snack with my help and we could supplement the spaghetti dish with a salad and some artichokes with cold salami and Parma Ham for the pre-course. Preparing dinner gave us more chance to chat together and I was able to ask about Grandma and when mum was likely to return home. It looked like mum was due to call us later to tell us that Jane would be staying all week. I hoped Taylor would be back in time to join in since it was a video call. Jane said not to worry she’d arrange that we went upstairs and I could remove my make-up and put a sweater on. At least Jane was supportive that was hardly a surprise really.

I took the task of preparing the dining table whilst Jane finished preparing the food and Jeff opened the wine. Jane looked at me and insisted that I just had the one glass even though this wasn’t exactly my first time drinking alcohol. Dad always opened a bottle on Sundays when he was home. As we sat to eat the pre-course we chatted and I quite liked Jeff who was funny. He made a few jokes and he had some nice stories to tell. It was apparent that he’d been seeing Jane for sometime and he stayed over many times so it was clear that they were in a serious relationship. As Jane and I cleared plates and served the next course she smiled and whispered that I was going to have to be careful because Darren seemed smitten and he couldn’t take his eyes off me. I blushed and tried to brush it off but tonight he’d definitely overcome his shyness and was chatting much more that I’d seen before. As Jane passed his plate to him he thanked her and said it was much better than going to a party.
Jane responded. ’Well we are sorry to encroach on your romantic dinner together and steal your food. But it’s nice to meet you and see Taylor with a boyfriend.’
‘Jane please. Darren and I are friends from school. He’s not my boyfriend. I don’t have a boyfriend.’
‘I used to be the same when I was at school. Dad was always teasing me. I don’t mean to pry. But I can see you are good friends.’
‘Sis please. It’s not fair on Darren.’
He spoke.’ I don’t mind. I like Taylor and I’ve been wanting to ask her on a date but I chickened out. I asked her to the party tonight but she was rightly cautious. I came out to call by since I wanted to meet face to face and have a final try but I froze. Then luckily we bumped into each other.’
‘It wasn’t that I didn’t want to meet you Darren it’s just that I was scared of what might happen since people go a bit crazy at parties and mum is away if anything happened. She trusted Ty and I to be on best behaviour.’
Just then we heard a key in the front door and some laughter. It was Taylor with a football friend and two girls. They were from school and in the year below Taylor and I and one was holding hands with Taylor and clearly thought it was me. Taylor was surprised to see four of us around the dining table.’
‘Oh Jane I didn’t expect you to be here what’s wrong?’
‘Nothing don’t you read your messages? Mum asked me to come over to take care of the pair of you whilst she looks after Grandma.’
‘We aren’t children. What’s happened? Is it serious.’
‘Not too serious but you know mum Ty, she wants to be sure.
She’s booked time off work.’
Taylor looked a bit surprised that Jane hadn’t recognised her and she looked at me and then at Darren and Jeff. She was about to speak but I managed to stop her by shaking my head slightly.
Jane jumped in and spoke.’ Did you eat yet?’
‘Yes we just called for pizzas with the rest of the team and some of our fans here from school. This is Amy and Katie and our captain James. We thought we’d chill out and have a drink but seems that you guys beat us to it. So we’ll go back out to Starbucks where the others have gone. They offer free internet access so we can make video calls. Jane said not to be too late home but from Taylors expression she didn’t like it but chose to hold her tongue.

Not long after they left Jane pulled me aside and suggested that Darren and I went along with them to ensure that Taylor was safe and also that she didn’t stay out too late. She said Jeff would help to clear away and make up a fresh bed in our guest room that doubled as dads study. It made me nervous and I responded.
‘But Jane I’m dressed as a girl, as Taylor, so how can I help? Darren doesn’t even know that I’m really Ty and he is already getting a bit too close for comfort. I like him but I am scared because he wants to walk me back and forth to school and for me to go out with him and to be his girlfriend.’
‘Well Ty I’m sorry but you two got yourselves into this mess so you’ll have to get your heads together and decide the best way to get out of it.’
‘But Jane that’s the problem. I think Taylor is enjoying herself so much being one of the guys that she’s forgotten who she is.’
‘And you?’
‘I have no choice. It wasn’t my idea and now I feel stuck.’
‘Well you do make a lovely sister. You were always the one who like to play dress up games and you liked to play with my old dolls house and my barbie dolls.’
‘But I stopped and dad boxed them all up and moved them all to the attic.’
‘Look Ty just keep Darren at a distance and you’ll be with Taylor anyway if anything happens but don’t stay past 10pm and I’m sure Darren will ensure you are home safely.’
I relented but in truth I was wanting Jane to encourage me to stay as I was and she had done. Darren was quite happy and he thanked Jane for dinner and we headed out. As soon as we were through the gate he took hold of my hand and after 50 yds I gave up trying to let go and relaxed.

As we approached the High St I could see Starbucks ahead on the corner. Darren stopped suddenly and pushed me gently into a shop doorway pointing at the display model asking if I liked the outfit. It seemed a weird thing to do and as I turned to face him he took hold of my shoulders and bent to kiss me.
‘Darren please don’t. We are in public.’
‘No we aren’t. I just need to kiss you please. I’ve never kissed a girl properly before and I really want to kiss you. Please. I promise nothing will happen. I just need my first kiss to be with you.’
‘But Darren I’ve got lipstick on and you’ll spoil it and end up with it on your face.’
‘Please.’
I felt I had little choice and he pressed his lips against mine. I was determined that it would be a short kiss but he held me so firmly that it was difficult to break free. I relaxed thinking he’d relax his grip on my shoulders but he just pulled me into his arms and I was off balance so he held me so I didn’t fall. I could feel his soft whiskers and I closed my eyes. Another boy was kissing me and it didn’t feel bad. I responded and he pressed himself against me. He was clearly very stiff and he tried to stop but I put my arm around his neck and searched for his tongue. He obviously couldn’t contain himself any longer and he managed to pull away and turned in embarrassment.
‘Sorry Taylor. I’m so sorry.’

Julie D Cole

‘Sorry Tyr. I’m so sorry.’
…………………………………………………………………………………………

Did he mean that? I was sure he was calling me Ty but then he added an r sound at the end as if he was calling me Taylor.
‘It’s alright Darren I liked it. You seemed to like it too. I hope you are OK down there and it didn’t get too uncomfortable. Maybe you need to adjust a bit so I won’t look.’
‘It’s fine. I’m really embarrassed though. I just couldn’t help myself. I’ve dreamed of kissing you since we first met. You are so beautiful and I like to see this side of you. That’s why I was so excited.’
‘What do you mean this side of me?’
‘Well I have watched you for ages and I’ve see you dressed as a boy and as a girl. At first I thought that you and Taylor were twin sisters and then I saw you using the boys bathroom at school. I thought you just liked dressing as a boy and then I saw Taylor using the girls bathroom. I was intrigued so I followed you home a few times and then saw Taylor was playing football with the boys team but you didn’t join in and you watched from the side. You always seemed much more feminine than Taylor and then I saw you started to dress more like the girls. I checked with a few friends who play football and I found that Taylor was playing and she was using your name. Why? Nobody seemed to object to her playing so I assumed I had made a mistake and that I had mixed you both up.’
‘It sounds weird Darren. It seems that you were stalking me so you could have got into trouble. That would have been terrible. Think of what people would have said. Why did you take the risk?’
‘I can’t help it. I thought that you were really pretty for a boy and when I see this side of you I think are so cute and amazing. Do you hate me for telling you all this?’
‘No Darren I don’t hate you and thanks for being truthful. I hoped that no one would recognise me dressed as a girl but now I worry. Not just for me but for Taylor too. She gets changed with the lads.’
‘To be honest Ty I think Taylor carries it off really well. It’s much easier for girls though and I think it’s maybe because people just think it’s a phase they go through.’
‘Maybe I should just go back home then? I am just asking for trouble. I didn’t think you had any suspicion.’
‘I prefer you stay and I’ll be with you if anybody says anything stupid. That’s not likely looking at you since you look 100% girl tonight. I’d date you any day so I’m hoping you like me enough for me to be your steady boyfriend. I promise that with me you can dress however you wish.’
‘Why are you so nice to me? We never knew each other but I feel like you are a really kind person who I can trust. I’ve quite enjoyed being Taylor and it didn’t take much for sis to convince me to have swop days. Jane is also supportive so it’s just mum and dad now.’
‘Ty when we kissed just now it felt really good. Really good. I’ve wanted to do that every time I’ve seen you.’
‘Yes it was nice for me too. Are you sure you haven’t kissed before? I didn’t want you to stop.’
‘I guess I’ve just practised on balloons and on a mannequin in my mums dress-making room. She makes wedding and party dresses for her friends business.’
‘How do I rate then? Am I as good as the mannequin then?’
He surprised me by turning and kissing me again and I responded. As we parted he smiled and spoke, ‘Yes Ty I think you are my favourite.’

We linked arms and headed towards the coffee shop. This was crazy. Darren was not as quiet and shy as I expected and I liked him. My god what will mum think if we remain friends.
In the coffee shop Taylor and the gang were spread across several tables and they were laughing and joking. There seemed to be 4 or 5 girls with Taylor and the team and one big-busted girl was sitting on Taylors knee and Taylors hands were roaming a lot beneath her sweater.
We were welcomed and the barista was a senior guy from our school so he was looking after the gang. Darren ordered our drinks and told me that my latte was free since the barista was his elder brothers best friend. Finally Taylor spotted us and she waved to me after removing her hand from the girls breast. She looked a little embarrassed and I suppose it was my facial expression. It was my reputation she was playing with and I wasn’t happy.
Darren and I selected a table a safe distance from the group where we could here ourselves talk. I sent a message to Jane to let her know we had joined Taylor and her friends who were having a good time but no alcohol involved. Anyone who didn’t know us would take Taylor as a bit of a rebel and I felt she was trying to prove herself to teammates. That was Darrens opinion too as he tried to keep me calm and divert my attention to some news from his friends on facebook. It resulted in him taking some shots of the group and then a selfie of the two of us.
‘Please Darren don’t post them. I don’t want Jane or mum to see them or anybody else that knows us. Also if they get to the headmistress we’ll all be in trouble. Just look at Taylor. I can’t believe her behaviour tonight.’
I tried to calm down and it helped when Darren took hold of my hand. He refused to let go and pulled me close to him. Suddenly I was scared. Why had I given in to Taylor this was a stupid idea. There was no way she could ever be a boy and no way I could ever be a girl. I was time we faced facts and stopped this game.

I became more agitated and eventually I excused myself from Darren and went over to Taylor.
‘Can I have a word please. I’m not happy about your behaviour. Jane asked me to come here and insisted we went home early to spend some time with her. She wants to talk to us.’
‘Look little sister we are celebrating and we’re all having a good time here. Don’t be such a wimp. The boys just want to have fun. Our team has been accepted for the league next season.’
‘But you can’t. You won’t be available next season.’
‘Why not? Who is going to stop me.’
‘But you aren’t big enough.’
‘Look sis as the coach said tonight if you are good enough you are big enough.’
‘But Ty please listen to me. Darren is getting serious and I don’t know what to do.’
‘Just enjoy yourself sis but just don’t get pregnant.’
‘As if. Thanks for that. Don’t blame me if all this ends up in chaos and goes tit’s up.’
Taylor burst out laughing and so I turned and went back to Darren.
‘Can we go. I don’t want to watch anymore.’
But Jane wants you to make sure Taylor is OK.’
‘I tried my best but I need some fresh air I think. Can we just take a walk and come back when I’ve calmed down a bit.’

Darren took hold of my hand and we headed out and turned up the High Street. He didn’t say anything and eventually I leaned into him and held on.
‘Ty are you sure yo are OK?’
‘I think so but I don’t really know what to do. It’s as if Taylor doesn’t care what people think anymore. We could get into big trouble at school and be kicked out. Mum and Dad will go crazy and mum has enough to worry about with her mum and dads really busy at work and his company is fighting to survive. Everything around me is crumbling. I don’t know what to do. Taylor needs to come to her senses.’
‘It seems like you let her dictate too much. What do you want to do? Your mum and dad are grown up and must know what you are both like. They raised you. Same for Jane. She treats you like a sister. She loves you to bits.’
‘I know but she loves Taylor too. We are not so different are we?’
‘I think you are identical in looks but not in personality. Just look how she was behaving tonight. Boys don’t behave like that in front of other people in a coffee shop. She was showing off. You don’t show off. You are gentle and polite.’
‘But I’m a boy and look at me. How can you even look at me dressed like this?’
I turned away and looked up to the stars in the sky and the new moon and sighed as tears fell down my cheeks. Darren put his arms around me and held me tight.

‘Ty I love you and I want you to be yourself. Never mind Taylor and days of swopping. Just be yourself and whatever happens we’ll face it together.’

‘Just be yourself and whatever happens we’ll face it together.’

It was such a relief to hear those words of support. I was confused and I needed to work out what was happening to me. I didn’t want to look Darren in the eyes since I felt embarrassed about how I felt and what I’d admitted to him. Also to a lesser degree because I had tears spoiling my make-up and I was probably making a mess of his shirt as I’d put my head on his shoulder. I needed a tissue so I fumbled around trying to open my bag. He obviously realised what I was doing so he produced a pack from his pocket and removed one. I was able to wipe the tears from my cheeks and he lifted my chin.
‘Hello Panda eyes, I hope you feel better already since you now know my feelings towards you. I hope you don’t think I’m a stalker.’
I shook my head and smiled and tried to dry my eyes. This shy guy I’d met on the way home from school didn’t seem shy at all and was quite mature and full of confidence. For the first time in my life I felt I’d met someone I felt comfortable to be around and to trust enough to share my feelings. I hoped that I could relax without fear of embarrassment or being ridiculed and that he might be someone who shared my interests so we could spend time together. He seemed so polite and respectful and he’d indicated that I could be myself presenting male or female as far as he was concerned.

Right now I felt comfortable and relaxed in his presence and I was happy to be the girl he had kissed and who he was holding closely if that’s what he wanted. He kissed me again and I let him take my weight as he pulled me close. I could feel his arousal again and I snuggled as closely as I could as he gyrated his hips gently and I followed his lead. I didn’t feel that I should encourage him any more so despite the temptation I pulled back and whispered that we mustn’t and eventually we both came up for air.

‘Darren I’m sorry I’m not ready for this just now. It’s all too soon and I don’t know what to think or what to say to you. I never intended that this swopping game of Taylors would involve other people and you appeared out of the blue. Maybe we need to spend some time together until you feel that you can trust me and it will give us chance to get to know each other more. All this was supposed to be a bit of fun and my way of humouring Taylor. Maybe I should stop dressing like this before it all gets out of hand.’
‘I don’t want you to stop. I think you are beautiful and tonight you seem so feminine. It’s hard to think of you as Tyler. You are just Ty and just perfect as you are.’

‘But what can I do? Jane knows about this now but at first I thought she would think I was Taylor experimenting. It didn’t take her two minutes to see through the make-up. It didn’t seem to be a surprise to her to find me like this and now I am thinking that mum would be OK too. I’m confident that they will both support me whatever I want to do in the future but dad is a bit old fashioned so he might be a problem. Then of course as I said there’s school and the reaction of classmates and teachers. Not forgetting Taylor. What if she is just going through a phase and she grows out of wanting to be one of the boys?’

‘If she does then you’ll be sisters of course. Look Ty I think you are looking too far ahead. Why not take it step by step. You can start by chatting with Jane and hopefully you have lots of opportunity this week since your mum and dad aren’t around in the next few days. Taylor is not likely to be around much either since she will be out enjoying herself with the boys I imagine.’

‘Yes but what about school? It’s already a problem since we have been attending as each other and deceiving the teachers. I might get suspended or expelled. Boys pretending to be girls is much worse than girls pretending to be boys.’
‘Well you didn’t harm anybody or submit work as each other did you? You might get suspended or punished but I doubt either of you would be expelled. I can even vouch for you if it helps.’
‘Thanks Darren. We didn’t falsify anything or submit each others work and we kept a low profile. I suppose that we did go into the toilets and also into changing rooms and even though I tried my best to turn away I did see girls undressing and also partly naked. No doubt Taylor saw boys without clothes too especially since they walk about in the nude showing off and comparing sizes. Some of them at least. I don’t know how Taylor managed to avoid undressing in front of people. When I’m there they bully and embarrass me.’

‘Well at least you have decided to address this before it becomes a big issue so chat with Jane as I’ve suggested and then let’s take it from there.’
‘Thanks I think I’ll do that as soon as Jeff leaves tomorrow. If he stays late then I might spend the day with Jane on Monday and get Taylor to hand in a sick note on my behalf.’
‘Good idea although I’ll miss you on Monday if you do. Maybe we can have tomorrow together and I’ll take you somewhere until Jeff goes home.’
‘Well I can meet you for sure. I’d like that but shall I dress like this or as Tyler? Maybe Jane can persuade Taylor to sit together for a heart to heart talk whilst we are out.’
‘Well it would be nice to have a date with a girlfriend if you don’t mind. Then I can kiss you and hold hands without any strange looks..

‘OK then I’ll be ready by 11am if that’s OK for you. It’s better that Taylor and I stay in character in front of Jeff. Unless Jane has said anything of course.’
‘Right then so what shall we do about Taylor now. We were supposed to stick with her so you both get home safely.’
‘Yes maybe I should go back to the coffee shop alone and then insist that she walks me home so I’m safe.’
‘Well it is sad for me but maybe that’s not a bad idea. At least you two can talk a bit on the way. But I’ll be a safe distance away in case she declines or you end up arguing. That means right to your door.’
‘Thanks Darren. I can’t believe how kind you are to me. You are something else.’

We headed back to the coffee shop and I kissed Darren as he wished me luck. I went inside and everybody was still there laughing and joking. At least the girls seemed to be making efforts to leave and Taylor saw me and smiled.
She walked towards the door and passionately kissed the girl she had been fondling and then turned towards me with a wide grin on her face.
‘This is the life Ty. They don’t have a clue. What a laugh. I think she was begging for it by the time we finished.’

‘Can we just go please. This is so weird. I can’t believe what you’ve been doing. These are young girls from school and their parents would have heart attacks if they knew what they were doing.’
‘Don’t get your knickers in a twist Ty. Have you never had fun like this or are you a wimp.’
‘I just respect girls. It’s not about being a wimp. What would mum and dad think if you were sitting on boys knees being fondled in front of everybody. In public as well in a coffee shop. Dad would kill you.’
‘Fat chance of that. I wouldn’t lower myself but it was all innocent. She was well stacked and much bigger than me. It was better me than some sex starved animal. She has firm breasts and her nipples were so erect she had to unclip her bra. Well I did it for her.’
‘Taylor can we go please. I said we wouldn’t be late and it’s not safe for either of us to walk home alone. Especially me dressed like this.’

‘OK I’m coming. It’s not like I’m going to let you go alone even though it’s well lit and fairly safe around here.’
‘Thanks. Did you call mum?’
‘No. She’ll be fine and grandma too now mum is with her. No doubt mum has talked with Jane tonight and she’ll update us when we get home. Where’s Darren anyway.’
‘He had to go. He was meeting his sister or he’d have walked home with us.’
‘Huh. We don’t need an escort. We are big enough to look after ourselves and whilst I’m dressed like this it’s not two vulnerable females walking home.’

I kept my eyes out for Darren as we walked but he did a good job of keeping a low profile. I was sure he was there. It did make me realise that walking out dressed in female clothes put me at significant risk and I’d never given it much thought as a boy.

When we arrived home Taylor opened the door and stepped aside to let me enter first. She still had some manners and she’d calmed down a lot and said not to tell Jane about what she’d been doing and the girl on her knee. Jane was pleased to see us both and she suggested we had a drink together before bed since Jeff was on his laptop in the bedroom. I excused myself so I could use the bathroom to tidy up my make-up from the tears and my lipstick from kissing Darren. I spotted a mark on my neck where he had got a bit too passionate but luckily he’d stopped when I asked him. I was able to cover it and I was relieved that I’d spotted it before going back downstairs.

Taylor and Jane had glasses of wine in their hands and offered one to me so I accepted a half glass and we moved through to the lounge where Jane switched off the tv. She told us that mum and grandma were OK and hopefully grandma would be back on her feet after a few days rest. She’d tried to call Taylor who hadn’t answered and Taylor checked and confirmed she’d had a missed call. She sent a text to mum with an apology and said we were at home together and she’d call the next day.

Jane spoke first. ‘Now then you two I’m not sure what you are doing and how long this has been going on but you need to be careful. I’ve talked a little to Ty but not to you Taylor because you are like the pimpernel.’

‘Yes Jane I’ve been busy with my mates and we never expected you and we would have been fine on our own. I think mum should stop treating us like children and I will look after Ty if he gets into any difficult situations whilst we are having fun.’
‘So you intend carrying on with this game of yours? Both of you?’
‘Why not. It suits us both to spend time as each other and we have the opportunity to do what we like to do.’
‘Yes but it’s easier for you than for Ty. He looks like a girl and clearly Darren treats him like one. But he doesn’t have our experience growing up to be able to handle situations.’
‘Well it’s not like I leave him alone and he goes anywhere much for us to be concerned. He always liked to play dress up didn’t you Ty?’
‘I did but I must admit that this started out as a bit of fun but we need to stop.’
‘Well I’ve told you that I’m not stopping since I like living as a boy. I have freedom and I like playing football with the boys. I can compete and I’m in the team. We are now in the league and no way are you good enough to cover for me if we switch back.’
‘So you mean we both stay like this.’
‘Yes. For a while at least.’

Jane chipped in ‘Taylor it’s not just your call. Ty has an equal say in this.’
‘Butt out Jane. We agreed and ty likes the arrangement just as much as I do. Come on Ty speak up please. You like being a girl don’t you? It hasn’t taken you long to find a boyfriend has it?’
‘I didn’t have much choice when we started but it’s getting complicated. We are going to get into trouble. I’m OK to swop at weekends but that’s not enough for you.’
‘Well it’s a bit stupid to restrict ourselves and you like to socialise with the girls in class and you don’t like sport. I like to keep fit and hang around with the team and talk tactics and work on moves. We train twice a week as well. You haven’t a clue and you’ll show me up.’
‘But we will get into trouble when we are found out. You can’t keep hiding your boobs and pussy and you have your periods to consider. How can you deal with that without some suspicion.’
‘Simple I’ll be on birth control pills. I’ve already seen our doctor. No problem. I’ve been on them for 2 weeks.’

Jane spoke up again. ’Look you two you need to decide together what you want. I won’t be around to help you and mum needs to be told. A story like this is sure to hit the local news and you’ll need her support when it does leak out.’
Taylor was quick respond before I had chance. ‘We don’t need to tell mum anything until we want to tell her. We won’t have much choice once she gets home anyway because we can’t keep sneaking in and out of the house and the way Ty is dressing she’ll know it’s not me.’
‘I only dress how you should be dressing. Mum has tried to encourage you to be like Jane and she’s just bought you lots of new clothes and you didn’t even look at them.’
‘I told you that they are yours as far as I’m concerned. They are too girly for me. I’d rather she gave me the money and then I’d buy what I like. I prefer sports gear anyway and she knows.’
Jane answered her.’ Look Taylor you need to start thinking logically and consider Ty as well as yourself. You are being very selfish and he has more to lose than you. Girls can get away with behaving like boys in their teenage years that is soon forgotten. Sadly girly or effeminate boys get bullied and they usually get branded for life.’
‘Well why don’t you ask ‘her’ what she wants. I think you might find that ‘she’ prefers to be me and to wear my clothes. It was pretty obvious to me ages ago. ‘She’ was so excited to open my gifts from mum. You should have seen ‘her’ face. Just the reaction mum would like from me.’
‘Look Taylor I admit that I like them but I can hardly wear them when mum and dad are around can I?’
‘Well they are yours as I said before and you’ve packed them away so you must have decided to keep them. True?’
‘Well I suppose so. We can’t send them back it’s ungrateful.’
‘There we are then. You should try them on with Jane and show you what you look like in the shoes she left behind. They all fit and she will probably give them to you if you ask nicely.’

I couldn’t contain myself any longer and I burst into tears. Taylor stormed off to her room. Jane put her arms around me and we hugged.

I couldn’t contain myself any longer and I burst into tears. Taylor stormed off to her room. Jane put her arms around me and we hugged.
‘Come on Ty please try not to get upset by Taylors reaction. She talks rubbish and she is deliberately trying to influence your decisions.’

‘But she doesn’t want to go back to being normal. She wants the swop to carry on and she isn’t listening to me or considering the risks.’
‘Well that might be what she wants but rest assured she was trying to bluff you. Taking birth control tablets is not going to stop her having periods only having babies if she were to have careless sex with any of the team.’
‘But she said that she’d seen our family doctor to get the tablets and she might have told her that she wanted to live as a boy and that we both feel we have been born in the wrong bodies.’
‘Why would she do that? She’s strong and independent and unlikely to listen to anybody, least of all a family GP. Of course she might have asked for birth control pills. I think it is more likely that she got these to slip these to you without your knowledge. I wouldn’t put anything past her at the moment. You haven’t been taking them have you?’
‘I don’t know. We have both been taking vitamin tablets and Taylor got them. I trusted her. Hers are different though but I don’t think she will have switched them.’
‘Well have you noticed any changes in your body or emotions recently? Where are the tablets you take? Can I look at them?’
‘I have noticed that my chest is softer and puffier. I thought it had changed shape because I have been wearing a bra so much. All our tablets are in the medical cupboard in the kitchen.’

We took a look and I passed the box of tablets that I’d been taking.
‘These aren’t vitamin tablets. They are Estro Support tablets. The clue is in the label. Didn’t you read the instructions? They contain estrogen. They are for women not men and they might reduce period pain and PMS. Are you sure they aren’t the tablets that Taylor takes?’
‘No, she takes these vitamins, Sparten Health tablets. They are full of vitamins to increase her strength for football.’
‘But they are testosterone boost tablets. No wonder she is more aggressive these days. They will probably reduce her periods as well as build muscle to some extent. You both have to stop. You don’t know what damage you might be doing. Just wait until I see her tomorrow. I’m confiscating them.’
‘She’ll be really angry so please don’t fall out. I shouldn’t have told you.’
‘Yes you should. She is mad and clearly hung up on increasing her masculinity even if it means feeding you estrogen whilst she takes testosterone. She wants you to go along with her plan and feel happy dressing like this. These tablets might be the reason why you are more emotional and sensitive. She might find that you are easier to control. How long have you both been taking them?’
‘Those are our second bottles.’
‘Does mum know?’
‘I don’t think so.’
‘Well if she’s seen them in the cupboard she probably thinks you each take the others tablets that’s why. We have to tell her what’s happened.’
‘Please don’t Jane. Let’s just stop taking them and leave her out of it.’
‘But surely she recognised the changes in both of you and how you’ve both dressed as each other.’
‘No we took great care. We nearly got caught but managed to convince her she was mistaken.’

We sat down in the lounge again and I could see Janes mind ticking over. She was shaking her head and looking at me closely.
‘Ty you need to tell me what you want to do so that I can try to help. If you like to just dress up occasionally that’s one thing but if it’s more than that then we need to a bit of research and there is sure to be lots of information out there that is easy to access. Have you thought about your future at all irrespective of what Taylor might want to do?’
‘I haven’t done much at all. I looked a little bit at some videos on YouTube where some guys like to dress occasionally and also at some who dress full time. Some even had operations to change sex. Men and women but I’ve no idea how they change their body parts. That would scare me.’
‘Do you feel like a girl or a boy in a dress at the moment?’
‘At first it was a bit scary since I felt like a boy in a dress but I suppose that I’ve felt more like a girl. Do you think it’s those tablets that did that?’
‘I don’t think they can affect your brain much and make you suddenly feel like a girl but maybe they have an effect on your body and how you feel about things. I’m no expert and I’ve never met anybody who changed their sex even though I have lots of friends who define themselves as gay.’
‘Do you think I’m just gay then since I never had a girlfriend and I like Darren and I let him kiss me.’
‘But you were dressed as Taylor when you kissed and you weren’t kissing him as Ty were you? Have you kissed him when you are in normal dress?’
‘I’ve only kissed him as Taylor but it was me kissing him not her. He knows I’m Ty so maybe he’d kiss me either way. I haven’t really met him as Ty so I don’t know.’
‘Have you looked at other boys at school?’
‘Not really, except recently when Taylor and I had swopped and boys were looking at me.’
‘What about girls? Have you looked at girls and thought about if you fancied them and wanted to go on a date?’
‘Not really. I’m too shy to make eye contact or to talk to them. But when I was dressed as Taylor I had no difficulty talking with them. My shyness seemed to just disappear and they accepted me as Taylor. At least I think so.’
‘Is it something you want to do regularly or just from time to time?’
‘I guess that’s not easy to answer because if mum and dad were angry or disappointed in me I think I’d really sacrifice my feelings and try to be the son they want.’
‘Even if you are unhappy? They would never want you to be unhappy or to think you might do something silly.’
‘I know but I never really thought about it that much. I stop myself since we all had a happy life and I don’t want to spoil it.’
‘Well whilst I’m here I want you to face it and it’s a stroke of luck that mum asked me to come home for a few days even though grandma is not well.’
‘I know but do you mind if we leave it for now. I promised that I’d call Darren to let him know we got home safe and to discuss about tomorrow.’
‘Well take care with him but he seems to be a nice lad. I hope our chat made you feel a bit better. I love you whatever happens herein. If you end up deciding to stay like this you can count on my support. I promise that one day if and when I get married you will my first choice as bridesmaid.’
‘Thanks sis I’m flattered. I suppose Taylor would want to be the groomsman.’
‘No doubt. So come on get that make-up off and get yourself to bed and we’ll have a nice cooked breakfast in the morning before I take on Miss Taylor about the medication.’
‘Yes she’ll be looking for her tablets immediately after breakfast for sure.’

I went upstairs and used the bathroom before Jane and was embarrassed by the mess that Taylor had left. She was getting worse. At least I left it clean and respectable. My complexion did seem much softer once I’d cleaned all my make-up away so maybe the tablets were feminising me. I decided to look up about the effects of estrogen after I’d spoken to Darren then I could decide if Taylor had intended to change my body and hers too. She was fast asleep in her room without a care in the world.
I snuggled up in bed and sent a message to Darren and it didn’t take long for him to call me back. He said that he’d followed us all the way to our front door and I told him he should be a spy because neither Taylor or I had any idea he was close by. We chatted a while and agreed a time to meet that gave me chance to have breakfast and tidy up whilst Jane confronted Taylor. It was going to be better that I went out of the way in case they argued and at least Jeff was around to stop it becoming too heated.
I was awakened by the sound of somebody using the bathroom and since it was already daylight I looked out of my window to see it was a blue sky day. I hoped it was a good omen so I decided to get up and make some early morning tea for Jane and Jeff hoping that I didn’t disturb anything. I hadn’t heard any noises since going to sleep so they might be in need of an energy boost.

I quickly found some Capri sweat-pants and tucked myself to avoid any embarrassing bulges and slipped on a sweater and headed downstairs. No sign of life and it was unlikely that Taylor would have stirred yet so no point making tea for her. I made 2 slices of toast and popped everything on a tray and headed upstairs. They were delighted at the surprise and both sat up in bed to say good morning. Jane was glowing so they had had a good night and they seemed so happy together. It was strange to see them in mum and dads bed but they had little choice since I’d taken over Janes room after she left and the guest room wasn’t prepared. I decided it would give me chance to use the bathroom in peace so I left them to their tea and toast whatever.

I was trying to decide what to wear for the day when Jane popped her head around the door to say thankyou and how she liked my casual look in the Capri pants. She suggested I wore them with trainers and a crop top and I could borrow one of her long cardigans when I met Darren to avoid putting too much on display. We weren’t going anywhere special as far as I knew so the casual look was a good idea. The crop top was discreet enough to show a hint of cleavage and I knew Darren would like it.

Jane quickly showered and then we went downstairs to prepare breakfast. I felt much more positive after the chat we’d had but I was nervous about Taylors reaction when she realised her tablets were missing. The smell of fresh toast, bacon eggs and fried mushrooms wafted upstairs and Jeff and Taylor soon appeared and sat at the dining room table drinking orange juice. Taylor was quiet at first but then she looked at me and asked where I was going dressed as I was. I explained that I was meeting Darren and she pulled a face.
‘Not that wimp again. You can do a lot better than him and you ought to think about your reputation.’
I realised that it was her reputation she was worried about but she couldn’t say anything in front of Jeff. I responded just the same.

‘Look Ty you don’t know him and just because he is not in your gang and that he isn’t interested in sport doesn’t make him a wimp. I like him and he cares about me and that’s what matters most.’
‘Well don’t you go getting too serious or letting him get to close and ensure he keeps his hands off you.’
‘Ty he’s not like you and if your behaviour in the coffee shop is anything to go by you have no room to talk. I was ashamed of you the way you treated that young girl. To make matters worse you were in public with lots of people around.’
‘Grow up sis. What I do is my business and she has a reputation for being easy but you don’t. I don’t want you to be known as a school bike.’
Jane was angry and intervened. ‘Ty that’s enough of that sort of talk. Especially in company and at the breakfast table. Taylor is sensible and having met Darren I think he is very polite and respectable.’
‘Well I’m entitled to my opinion since we are twins and everything gets back to me so she had better take care.’
‘I think you and I need a chat. We should let Taylor go out and you can help me clear up and fill the dish-washer.’
‘No way. That’s Taylors job. I do outside chores like cutting grass and washing cars.’
‘Not today you don’t. You get too much freedom and I need a talk with you.’
‘Well make an appointment. I’m going to practice soon and I don’t have time for domestic chores. You are not my parent.’
‘If I was you’d have had a spanking young man.’
‘Just try. I’m too big for you now. I don’t know why mum thinks we needed a nursemaid. We are adults.’
‘Well best you started acting like one. I don’t know what has caused this change in you. I hope it’s not those tablets you’ve been taking.’
‘That’s none of your business and how do you know I take tablets? Has she told you?’
‘Yes and I’ve confiscated them until we find out what mum and dad think.’
Taylor stood up and went to the cupboard and saw they had been removed.

‘Play your games then. I have a reserve supply and they are available over the counter anyway.’
Jeff slipped away since the discussion was getting more heated and Jane told me to freshen up and go to meet Darren.

Jeff slipped away since the discussion was getting more heated and Jane told me to freshen up and go to meet Darren.
………………………………………………………..
I went upstairs and I could hear them shouting at each other.
‘Where did you get these tablets and don’t you realise the harm they can cause? And feeding them to Tyler too. What on earth are you playing at?’
‘Look they are not dangerous or they wouldn’t be available on Amazon would they? Mine are stronger anyway and Ty doesn’t need hormones. He’s half-way there already. He’s always preferred girly things. I should have been the boy.’
I didn’t want to hear anymore so I closed my bedroom door and called Darren. He was on his way so I said I’d walk to the end of our avenue and wait for him. He asked if I was OK and I told him what had happened and about the tablets. He was as angry as Jane had been.’
‘So you’ve been taking hormones and that is why your features are so feminine.’
‘I don’t think they are high in estrogen. They are more to help girls when they have heavy periods I think. It seems young girls take them to try to make their breasts grow bigger.’
‘Well as much as I’d be happy if they worked for you like that please take care and talk to your mum or your doctor. The sooner the better.’
‘Don’t worry I intended to do that anyway. I’ve had to close my door because of the shouting and I hope that Jeff has done the same.’
I left the house as quietly as I could. Jane and Taylor had moved to the lounge and closed the door. I hoped they would keep their tempers and not fall out. Jane was only trying to help and she thought Taylor should face up to problems and involve mum and dad.’
Darren and I arrived at the corner of the avenue about the same time and he hugged me and kissed me on the lips that I never thought I’d ever allow a boy to do. I didn’t pull away and it was a relief to be comforted.
‘Where shall we go? Is there anything you’d like to do?’
‘I’d just like some fresh air and to walk if that’s ok with you. We could cut through the park and walk down by the river. It’s nice to sit outside the coffee shops if there are any tables before the lunch-time rush..
‘That’s a good idea and maybe I’ll hire a rowing boat and take you down the river and back. I promise that you’ll be safe. I’m an expert.’
We walked slowly hand chatting together and Darren took hold of my hand as we walked through the park gates. I didn’t feel awkward at all and I liked the feeling of reassurance since he was treating me like a girlfriend so the chances of being recognised or challenged by anybody were lessened. I didn’t deserve his support like this but it felt nice. There were several other couples taking fresh air and a few families too with excited children running ahead that took me back to early days walking with my family with Taylor and I laughing and squealing as we chased each other. What had happened to her and could we help her return to the fun sister she had been?
As we reached the river there was no queue for the rowing boat hire so Darren pulled me towards them and insisted to help me climb in to one. We were pushed out from the bank and then I laughed as Darren struggled to manage the oars.
‘I thought you were an expert.’
‘I am but this is my first time on the river. I usually row on a machine in the gym to try to build my muscles.’
‘So you aren’t an expert then. Are we safe?’
‘I’ll soon get the hang of it so you relax and enjoy the view.’
We could never have won a boat race but we did laugh a lot especially when Darren lost an oar. A kind man recovered it for us.
Once back on dry land Darren put his arm around my shoulder and steered me towards a small café where we sat and had coffee.
‘Ty do you think Jane and Taylor are OK or should we go back and check on them?’
‘I think I’ll message Jane soon and ask because Jeff will be heading back to their place soon. I have a feeling that Taylor will just go off to see her mates and I doubt she’ll take much notice of Jane. I know she has more tablets so Jane taking them from the cupboard is not going to have any impact.’
‘Just what are these tablets?’
‘She says they are harmless but I think she takes double dose to try to build her muscles so she can compete on equal terms with the lads.’
‘I didn’t know her very well but she does seem to have become more aggressive and her features are changing. It’s the same for you. Do you feel different?’
‘Yes I feel calmer and I haven’t had any sexual urges when I wake in the morning. My chest is definitely expanding but not with muscles more with soft flesh.’
‘You mean your boobs are developing.’
‘Yes they have a lot more definition. I might have to start using the binding for school like Taylor does on our swop days.’
‘Well I have mixed feelings. I think I’m falling in love with Ty the girl. I thought that I was gay but it seems not.’
‘But I’m still a boy even if I look like a girl sometimes.’
‘No. I think you are a girl who is a boy sometimes.’
Before we left the café I messaged Jane to ask if she was OK and she called me back. They had argued for half an hour and Taylor had emphasised that she would continue taking the tablets and she was old enough to make her own decisions. She had displayed the strength in her arms that were already quite muscular after taking up weight training during the gym sessions with the football team. Her shoulders were broader too and she intended working on her thighs and stomach muscles. When Jane challenged her about her recent aggressive attitude she had said it was part of her new image and it was important if she was to be selected regularly in the team.
I apologised to Jane for my involvement and my part in accepting Taylors suggestion that we swop identities but I had no idea about how this would become so regular and it was getting out of hand. It seemed like this was Taylors plan all along and that she was enjoying life as me and encouraging me to dress and act almost full time as her. I admitted to Jane that I had been too easy to influence and that I did feel comfortable and I would talk to mum when she got home. Jane wasn’t sure that Taylor would permit me to do that based upon the argument they’d just had so she might need to pre-warn mum. We agreed to wait and chat later and I said I hoped that Taylor would come to her senses. I explained what Darren and I had been doing and that we would like to eat with her later that she accepted.
‘So are you enjoying your date Miss Tyler.’
‘Yes I am. But please don’t embarrass me since it’s all very strange and I know that it’s wrong but I’m not deceiving Darren. He knows who I am and he said that he thought he was gay but now he knows he isn’t.’
‘So he treats you and respects you as his girlfriend. That’s good.’
‘Yes but I can’t forgive Taylor for her nasty comments. Darren won’t ever do what she said. I like him and he is much nicer than her new friends.’
By the end of the call Darren had bought two more coffees and a piece of carrot cake to share but I desperately needed the toilet. I had no choice but to use the Ladies bathroom and when I opened the door there was a queue of 4 ladies who had just returned from a river trip. The three cubicles were busy and two ladies were at the sinks tidying themselves. I was in a dilemma but no way could I use the Mens bathroom or relieve myself in the shrubs that were close by. I just crossed my legs and tried to think of something else. In the end I had to jump the queue that caused a bit of commotion but needs must and I wasn’t used to holding on.
Darren just laughed when I told him what had happened and said I needed to take a leak before I left home in future.
The cake was really nice and we headed out to continue our walk. I thanked Darren for his treats and then he reached into his pocket and said he had a gift for me. I opened the small package to find a small velvet covered box. It was a silver charm bracelet and a charm that was on it that said @I love you to the moon and back.’
‘Darren you shouldn’t do this. It looks like it’s real silver.’
‘It’s for you to wear so you don’t forget me when I’m not with you.’
‘Darren it’s beautiful. Nobody ever bought me anything like this before. Are you sure.’
‘Course I’m sure. Do you like it?’
‘I love it. Thanks so much. Shall I wear it?’
‘You’d better. That’s why I bought it.’
I leaned forward to kiss him and he wrapped his arms around me. I snuggled up to him and it was clear that he was excited. He was stiff and he made sure that I understood that it was because I looked so nice and that I’d appreciated his gift. I had a slight reaction as we nuzzled together but he he seemed so big compared to me and he was having difficulty controlling himself. I teased him a little by pushing against him and he closed his eyes. Then he reached and took hold of my hand and for a moment I thought that he wanted me to take a hold but instead he took it to his lips and kissed it. For a few moments I thought Taylor might be right. I sensed that something happened because he shuddered and then he suddenly excused himself to rush off into the shrubs saying he needed to water the nettles.
Whilst I was waiting my phone peeped and I saw it was Taylor calling. I thought about ignoring it but relented.
‘Hi Sis, it’s your Bro.’
‘Hi Taylor.’
‘What have you been telling Jane. She was in a right mood this morning. I could have slapped her. She’s left home so she has no right to interfere in our lives. Why did you tell her about our pills? It’s none of her business. If we want to enjoy ourselves and take medication or boosters that’s up to us.’
‘She knew in minutes that it was me dressed as you and we just had a long talk about my feelings and of course you were part of the conversation.’
‘But she seems to have the impression that I forced you to do it and that’s not true. You didn’t take much persuading and you are obviously more comfortable as a daughter than I am. I hate it and spending time with the guys has reinforced my belief that something happened whilst we were being carried by mum. I should have had the penis. You don’t need it and it’s surplus.’
‘Taylor you are mad. That’s not true and in fact it’s ridiculous. Just because I agreed to swop didn’t mean we should change genders.’
‘Well Jane agrees with me. She thinks you are the feminine one and I told her that it’s nothing to do with the tablets or me bullying you.’
‘Taylor she never blamed you. She just says we’ll get into trouble when people find out. Especially at school. Who is going to believe us that it was just a bit of fun? Then she thinks mum and dad would feel humiliated and they would have to move.’
‘No way. It’s nobody’s business. I think dad would be delighted if I behaved like the son he wanted. He will be impressed by my football skills and he won’t feel surrounded by women.’
‘I’m not a woman. Neither are you at the moment.’
‘Where are you anyway? I thought you were on a date with your boyfriend.’
‘I am not on a date. We are down by the river and we are out walking. We hired a rowing boat and we just had a lunch snack.’
‘Sounds like a date to me. Don’t forget what I said. Don’t let him get fresh with you and think about my reputation.’
‘The same applies to you. I hope you are not snogging and feeling up that young girl we saw you with last night.
‘Don’t get your knickers in a twist. I’ve been training and there are no girls with us. We have a friendly game this afternoon and we’ll be out afterwards. I probably will hang out with the guys this evening. I might even stay over and then I don’t need to see Jane and have anymore lectures.
‘But we have school tomorrow and you can’t play truant.’
‘Yes I can. There’s not much going on at the moment until exams. I might pop in later to pick up some things from my locker.’
‘You mean my locker. You still have my keys and my phone.’
‘Well there’s no rush is there? You can go to school as me and enjoy yourself. I’m sure Darren will be happy. You know the girls by now. I think if I turned up they’d think it was you in drag.’
Then she just dropped the call and left me hanging on.
I was agitated again when Darren returned.

‘What’s wrong Ty you look upset?’ What’s happened?’
‘It’s Taylor. She just called and she probably won’t come home tonight and she is talking about taking the day off school tomorrow. She knows she’s supposed to be attending a lecture and taking a test in the afternoon.’
‘What’s the lecture?’
‘It’s to do with Womens Health Issues from what she told me and she is not interested. She needs to attend to get a credit.’
‘Is the test related to it then?’
‘No according to Taylor it’s more of an interview with all female students to discuss any health issues or concerns they may have and to convince them about the importance of regular health checks through their adult lives. Taylor is not interested but she needs a tick in the box.’
‘She doesn’t seem to care about her own health does she? I thought these things were important.’
‘I would have thought they were or they wouldn’t waste their time.’
‘Surely she doesn’t expect you to cover for her.’
‘Surely she does.’

‘Surely she doesn’t expect you to cover for her.’
‘Surely she does.’
I sighed so Darren put his arm around me and we continued our walk by the river. It was nice and sunny so it was busy and there were lots of people on the bridge ahead of us taking photographs and waving to a small pleasure boat that was navigating it carefully holding up a few rowing boats. We stopped to watch. Then suddenly there was somebody shouting to us.
‘Taylor, Taylor hi. Taylor is that you?’
Darren dropped his arm and smiled and waved back. ‘It’s Angie Hemingway and some girls from school. They are in your year I think.’
‘Oh no. They’ve seen us together and she used to live near us until they moved. She is sure to know it’s me if she gets up close. I try to keep a distance at school.’
‘Well just wave. They are on there way back to the jetty by the look of it so they won’t see you up close. Wave or they’ll think something is strange.’

I waved as Darren suggested but not too enthusiastically. I recognised 3 girls who Taylor didn’t talk with too much. I had spoken to them in the refectory and they always sat together gossiping and flirting with boys. Never with me though. ‘It’s Claire Baxter, Emily Walker and Jade Symons I think.’
‘Oh, oh Taylor. On a date? Ha, ha. We’ve seen you. Don’t try to hide. Got you.’
They all took photo’s with their phones and I was stung into silence and felt embarrassed since all the people on the bridges turned their attention towards us.’
I tried to think what Taylor would do in this situation but really she wouldn’t have been seen on a date with someone as quiet as Darren.
‘Don’t you lot dare. Wait until I see you tomorrow.’
I knew Taylor would be annoyed since she would never have gone out with someone like Darren let alone let him put his arm around her. She’d probably find them and shut them up as soon as she got to school but as it was it was me most likely to meet them. I was certain that Taylor would take the day off as she’d threatened.
It took a while for me to calm down and after a while we decided to sit in the shade to eat ice cream 99 cones. Cornets filled with vanilla ice cream with a milk chocolate flake sticking out. This was a treat Taylor and I enjoyed from an early age and it was the same vendor who always had a broad smile. ‘Where’s your brother today?’
It certainly appeared like I was convincing people whilst I was dressed as Taylor so I just told him he was playing football. He smiled and popped an extra flake in my cone. ‘Don’t tell him or he’ll be jealous.’

We didn’t rush eating our ice creams and we had a competition to see who could make theirs last longest. Darren soon gave up and he’d also eaten the extra flake but still finished well ahead of me. I called Jane who wanted to go for a pizza later so we agreed to meet her in the central mall that was about a twenty minute walk for us. She said it would be a special treat for her since she had a strict diet to keep in shape. We didn’t need any persuading the temptation was too great.
Time seemed to fly by for the rest of the afternoon and I was comfortable hanging on Darrens arm as we strolled along stopping occasionally to sit and watch passers-by. We avoided talking about Taylor and Darren told me a little bit about his family and how he had been bullied growing up and accused of being gay. His brother had always watched out for him at school but he was now away at university.
‘Darren do you like me as I am? Do you think of me as a boy or a girl?’
‘Ty when I first saw you I thought you were a girl dressing like a boy. When I first spoke to you I thought that you sounded like a girl so I was pretty sure that you were a girl. When I escorted you home I was convinced that I was right and I haven’t changed my opinion. I don’t really think it matters any more what I think. I like you and I love being with you and especially I enjoy it when we kiss.’
‘Darren I wasn’t expecting that. Surely I didn’t look like a girl in boys clothes. Are you sure you didn’t get me mixed up with Taylor?’
‘I’m sure. I can tell the difference. It’s not just how you both look it’s how you both act.’
‘So you think she acted like a boy and I acted more like a girl even when we weren’t trying?’
‘You could put it like that. So I think this is the real you. I hope I’m not embarrassing you.’
‘A bit. I guess if you noticed that then others did too, especially mum and dad.’
‘Well it wouldn’t surprise me if your mum isn’t shocked if she sees you both dressed as each other.’ Especially if she sees you like this. I have a feeling she might even know that it’s Taylor going out playing football.’
‘But I hadn’t planned on letting mum see me dressed like this. I don’t think Jane will say anything until Taylor and I decide if we want to say anything.’
‘But what about us? How will you explain our friendship because I’ll be spending time with you and messaging and calling you regularly. I’ll be holding your hand and she might even catch us kissing.’

I had no answer and I was obviously deep in thought for a while. I hung onto Darrens arm as we walked and eventually he stopped and bent and kissed me.
‘See you can’t resist me and I could never resist kissing you whoever was watching.’
We met Jane as planned and she waved as we approached. I quickly reverted to holding hands with Darren rather than hanging onto his arm. He teased me and told me it was too late anyway. I needed to freshen up and dressed as I was the only option was to use the female toilets so Jane came with me. She teased me about hanging onto Darrens arm that caused me to blush and I told her what we’d been discussing and asked if she agreed that mum and dad might already have suspected that Taylor liked to dress and spend time as the opposite gender. She checked to ensure the cubicles were empty and we were alone and then told me that mum had suspected that we were up to something and that she’d seen me dressed in Taylors clothes.
‘Was she mad?’
‘No she said you looked very pretty and that you’d seemed embarrassed so she didn’t say anything. She thought it was just a prank and probably a one-off.’
‘Well it was sort of a prank at first and I wanted to stop but Taylor was enjoying herself too much.’
‘Well all I can say is that you can talk to mum and tell her all about it and after that it’s up to you what more you say. Better get it all out on the table in a one to one with mum. Let her deal with dad and you can discuss your next steps.’
‘But I don’t have any next steps. Things have been happening too quickly.’
‘Let’s go back to Darren and we can chat later if you like.’

We ordered after deciding to share two large deep pan pizzas to share and some salads. Jane wanted some wine so she ordered a bottle since she said it was better value and we all needed a drink.
As we tucked in I told Jane that Taylor was probably sleeping out and expected me to go to school in her place to ensure she got credits for taking a test and attending a lecture. Jane wasn’t best pleased but she knew that if she called Taylor she’d be wasting her breath.
Darren did his best to eat the lions share of the pizzas and as we sat back Jane said that she had an idea that might help snap Taylor quickly into line. ‘Tomorrow when you go to school I agree that you should go in her place. But I think we should teach her a lesson that she won’t forget and you can wear a blouse and skirt rather than adopting her boy look. We’ll style your hair and add a little make-up.’
‘But we are not allowed to wear make-up.’
‘All the better. We won’t go mad. Just enough so the other girls see the change in you so perhaps you can exaggerate a little and swoon over Darren. Do you see Darren at school?’
‘Sometimes but Taylor never behaves like that. She doesn’t hang around with the girls either.’
Darren chipped in. ‘Well I’m happy to meet up and escort you to school. You can also meet me at break-time. How about we find the girls who shouted to you from the river boat. Give them something to talk about.’
‘I don’t know. Taylor will go crazy when she finds out.’
Jane replied and touched my hand. ‘Look Ty it’s just that Taylor is calling the shots and this needs to be addressed before both of you get into trouble.‘
‘I know. It’s just that I don’t like confrontation.’
‘Trust me. She will come to her senses and then she can face up to the problem alongside you.’
‘OK I will try.’
‘Ty if it helps then in my opinion I’m sure mum will want to help both of you to be happy and she won’t want to watch you both struggle and lose your way.’
Darren nodded his agreement and took hold of my hand. ‘Look Ty you’ve already spent time at school as Taylor and I think it is a positive step. You are going to be in a class of girls most of the day and Taylor never had any close friends amongst them. I know you can handle it.’
‘OK I’ll do it. But I’m not sure that boys would be welcomed in the lecture so I hope I survive.’

Jane giggled and said it was my chance to learn about some of the things women deal with in their daily lives since she recalled the same lectures and follow up tests. It helped her rather than just relying on mums advice.
‘But Jane how is that of use to me. It should be Taylor attending if it’s that important. It’s about womens issues and what impacts womens health and the importance of understanding your own body. There will be pictures and diagrams and things won’t there.’
‘Yes but don’t worry since no live models or the need to be examined. That comes later.’
‘What do you mean that comes later?’
‘The idea is to encourage young girls to have regular check-ups through their life but the check-ups will come later. That will be Taylors problem not yours.’
‘Better be or I’ll kill her.’
We took a taxi home and Darren came in for a coffee. After he left Jane insisted we look through her clothes that she’d left behind in the assumption that Taylor would be interested to wear them. She found a pleated school skirt and blouse that used to be compulsory in her schooldays and had been relaxed by the current headmaster. There was a cardigan as well. She suggested that I dispensed with the scrunched up socks that were fashionable in her day and wore tights instead. I was reluctant but Jane insisted I try them on and she was quick to nod her approval. ‘I think there will be a matching headband and an underskirt if you take a look in the box over there.’

As expected Taylor didn’t come home. She just sent a message to say where she was sleeping and that she’d get home sometime during the day. At least there was little chance she’d be sleeping with any of the team and we wondered how she was going to keep private.
Jane woke me early so she had time to style my hair and she had pressed the uniform and sprayed it so it had a strong feminine aroma.
‘Jane please don’t make me look like one of those St Trinians girls from the old films dad used to laugh at.’
By the time Jane had finished I looked like a mature schoolgirl and whilst my make-up was evident it wasn’t over the top. Taylor would hate it but I couldn’t resist twirling in front of the mirror. Jane took some photos and said I could send them to Taylor later and threaten to post them on her Facebook page. I could feel butterflies in my stomach anticipating the reaction from Darren and then from classmates at school.

Jane just had a few more pointers over our breakfast snacks so that I sat properly in the skirt and I was aware that my bra was visible through the blouse and to keep it buttoned to a discreet level. It wasn’t like I’d much to display but the bra did help to form a cleavage like Taylors. Finally Jane insisted I carry my things in her old school bag that brought back happy memories for her. It had graffiti and badges and she was excited to provide some back stories about friends and events. There were a few boyfriends along the way would signed it inside. I placed the things I needed inside it and there was a phone pocket where I placed Taylors phone.
Darren was on time and he teased me by asking if Ty was in. His eyes were popping out of his head as he stepped back to admire my schoolgirl outfit.
‘Wow I don’t think I dare leave you alone in this outfit. The guys will be stunned. You look amazing.’
‘Thankyou sir but I am beginning to regret this idea. I am worried because I like how I look and I feel like I want people to notice me. He kissed me lightly so not to smudge my lipstick and we headed for school. I knew then that this was the real me.

He kissed me lightly so not to smudge my lipstick and we headed for school. I knew then that this was the real me.
As we approached school Darren asked if I was nervous because I was certain to attract a lot of attention from pupils and staff. He was concerned in case I panicked and broke down so he decided that he would miss his first lesson to be on stand-by. I tried to re-assure him that I was OK but I had to give in and he said to message him if he was needed.

I had a butterfly stomach as I headed to my classroom to register my daily attendance (as Taylor of course) but at the same time I was quite excited. It was nice to be receiving glances and smiles from my classmates, boys and girls. They seemed to be getting used to me attending as Taylor and with her keeping a low profile as me, it was making it easier for me to blend in without any apparent suspicion or need to confront me. For the first time since we swopped clothes and identities I received acknowledgement as Taylor and several comments because I was dressed in a more feminine style in a skirt and blouse. Even our form mistress noticed and she made a point of complementing me in front of the whole class that caused me to blush which was quite out of character for Taylor. She would be livid if she was across the classroom with the gang of boys she now classed as her group of friends. Ms Campbell said that I was setting a good example to the rest of the girls that naturally brought a few light-hearted boos around me since they hated uniforms. A few of the boys did mock cheers referring to the length of my skirt but quickly hushed so not to give the wrong impression to Ms Campbell who had a reputation as a strong feminist and had confronted a few elder pupils and parents.

When the banter quietened Ms Campbell asked me where Tyler was since he had a few absent marks in the register. I just said he’d not been feeling well but that I had decided not to disturb him before I’d left home. Taylor was not doing me any favours with her behaviour. I would get into trouble if she carried on like this. Hopefully my enhanced femininity might shock her into co-operating and listening.
I had removed my cardigan so my bust was prominent that I liked and clearly a few boys did too. It was a good job that Jane had insisted I wear a white bra since it was more visible than I expected because of the light material of my blouse. Why would Taylor want to bind hers? Her breasts were firm and seemed perfectly shaped although I’d never seen them up close since they first came into bud. I wished I could experience what it was like to have my bra filled by flesh rather than with padding. Even so Darren was clearly impressed that I’d enhanced my bust based on the way he had looked at me. I was pretty sure that he’d wanted to say something on the way to school.

We headed to assembly where we lined up by class in the school hall to hear the headmistress make any announcements before leading morning prayer followed by a hymn. I was pushed along by our form mistress, Ms Campbell, so I ended up surrounded by most of the girls in our class. The boys were in a row standing behind us. I knew them all but they clearly thought I was Taylor and maybe my more feminine attire had them fooled. They were teasing Sarah and Jane the two girls either side of me and pulling their hair but seemingly were too wary about teasing me. I overheard a few lewd comments since they were getting loud and then Ms Campbell stepped in and threatened them with detentions. The ring leaders were Mark Taylor and Matty Walker who I tended to avoid because they were bullies. It was a good thing Ms Campbell hadn’t heard what was said about Sarah and the remarks about her breasts and what one of them had done to her at the weekend. Some of the other girls were encouraging them and gave as good as they received that surprised me.

When the hymn was finished we all filed out of the hall in turn and I was included amongst two classes of female students and directed to one of the lecture theatres along with the girls of my class. The boys went into a larger film theatre to attend a film about career options in engineering and technology that I should have been attending to get credits. There was no sign of Taylor.
I collected her school bag and notebook from her locker on the way to the class and found a vacant seat. Unfortunately, it was almost central so I was in clear view of our biology teacher, Ms Gilmore, who was in charge of the lecture. She knew both Taylor and I since she had been our form mistress in the first year and more than that she knew our parents quite well. As she stood in the doorway, she seemed to focus her eyes on me and scrutinised me quite closely that made me nervous. I smiled weakly and stared back that seemed work so she averted her eyes to look at other students.

The lecture was entitled ‘Common Teenage Girl Problems & Solutions’ and the lecturer emphasised that she was available to assist anybody who might feel in need of advice on a confidential basis. She had 10 items listed that she went through one by one and told us that the school objective in this lecture was to try to stop bullying and on-line abuse by highlighting problems with the hope that it would encourage girls to support each other. None of the presentation seemed to tell us anything new and it wasn’t embarrassing, other than the sections on Menstruation and Female Hygiene. I tried to look out of the window but it would appear that I wasn’t paying attention. I didn’t want to know about girl parts or monthly cycles and risk of pregnancy and I didn’t much care for the idea of the distribution of free samples of tampons nor the slides showing how to insert them. The regular examinations that were recommended at home and by GP’s or at hospital left nothing to the imagination. No wonder Taylor wanted to be a boy.

At the end of the lecture there was a question and answer session and because nobody was prepared to speak out Ms Gilmore decided to single out some pupils and even though I kept my head down I was selected to start. I froze for a moment and wanted to be swallowed by a hole in the ground before recalling an argument between Taylor and mum. I managed to mumble my question about missed periods and if they were common. Mum had pressed Taylor to tell her if she’d had intercourse with anybody that she’d totally rejected. I wasn’t surprised since she rarely hung out with boys except to compete with them.
I was complemented on the question although I couldn’t remember much about the answer. It seemed like Taylor was right to say it was nothing to do with her having intercourse with anybody.
Finally, after a few more questions that I tried to ignore we were released to head out to break that would be followed by normal class lessons until lunch break. At 2 pm we had the afternoon test that I’d assumed was a written test about the lecture but it wasn’t. Ms Gilmore explained that it was a one to one meeting with the school nurse to address some of the issues in the lecture that would include a physical examination. I was horrified by the prospect and I desperately needed the bathrooms my stomach was churning so much.

I had no choice but to follow the girls and join the queue and I looked longingly at the boys bathroom where nobody was waiting. There was no way I dare go in there dressed as I was. I tried to divert my attention whilst I was waiting by messaging Taylor. She needed to get herself to school to have the test or we were both in trouble if I had to undress in front of the nurse.
There was a lot of giggling whilst we were in line and no immediate response from Taylor. Eventually a cubicle came free and I was able to relieve myself although it was a close run thing. I almost wet my pants. Then finally I had a reply from Taylor whilst sitting. She said to just ignore it and head home out of the way and she’d take the flack later. Typical Taylor. I wasn’t accepting that so I messaged Jane.
She responded immediately and said she’d find Taylor and drive her to school. It was going to be tight and I needed to find a place to hide for a while and then meet them so I could go home with Jane. I found a seat close to one of the outbuildings close to the school entrance and sat nervously. I messaged Darren to tell him where I was and he agreed to skip lunch to meet me and he would stay with me until they arrived. I was relieved to see him and he sat with me whilst I explained my problem.

It wasn’t as quiet a spot as I’d hoped and we had to sit apart in case any over zealous prefects or teaching assistants spotted us together since fraternizing with the opposite sex wasn’t allowed. Not that we were breaking any rules of course.
I was relieved to get a message from Taylor to say they were on there way and they’d arrive about 1-30pm. I assumed she’d called home to get changed and when they arrived I was disappointed to see how she was dressed. She looked more like a boy than ever. No sign of her breasts and her hair had been slicked back and somebody had cut it short.

‘Taylor look at you. Are you crazy or what? You can’t go into a test with the nurse like that. I’ve been in the lecture like this and we have to change clothes.’
‘No point. Who is going to believe I’ve changed my hairstyle during the lunch break. ’
‘Taylor I hate you. This is so selfish. What are you doing? We’ll both be in trouble and you don’t care.’
‘I just don’t want to conform to silly rules. I bet this mornings lecture was a waste of time.’
‘You needed the credit so it doesn’t matter whether it was of interest or not. We have to do as we are told.’
‘So, I’ve got the credit now. How come the boys don’t have to attend these lectures and be examined? They have it easy. If I have to go to the nurses office then I’m going like this. If they start asking me why I look different and why I’ve changed my outfit I’ll tell them I am really a boy. I don’t care about ticking a box and earning a credit. I like this look and life is much more fun now. You go in my place if you are so keen to be a girl.’
‘Taylor I can’t can I?’
‘Well if they ask you to strip just refuse. You’ve already shown me up. Anybody who knows me knows I’d never dress like that at school or anywhere.’
‘Well it’s your fault. You don’t listen and you just think about yourself. This has gone to your head. I feel you already think you are a boy and you are certainly behaving like one.’
‘What would you know? I just behave as me. If you think that’s how a boy behaves then how come you never tried it? Until we started swopping you were considered to be a whoosie. At least I’ve got some respect back for the family name.’
I flew at her in rage but Darren grabbed hold of me and pulled me back. ‘Calm down. She is just winding you up.’

Jane stepped in and told us to behave. She confirmed that she’d tried to convince Taylor to get changed and restyle her hair but she was wasting her breath. To reassure us she told us that when she’d met the nurse whilst at school nobody had been asked to undress. It was all about ensuring that girl students knew they could talk about any problems if they found it difficult at home and it was to make a health record setting out dates for reviews and regular medical check-ups.
Darren backed her up and said he thought I should attend and if I became embarrassed then to say so and to ask to leave. Then when mum arrived home to tell her what both of us had been doing and decide if we wanted to take medical advice. Jane nodded her agreement and Taylor shrugged her shoulders that I guess was a yes.
‘But I’m not a freak and I’m not ill. Why do you think I need medical advice?’
‘I think you both need to talk with someone who is an expert in these things. We aren’t saying that you are a freak. You just seem so happy as a girl and so natural. Taylor seems to have a strong desire to be male.’
‘Yes it’s because we had swop days and maybe we went a bit too far.’
Jane spoke up. ‘Maybe you should both take a break from it and let things get back to normal.’
I looked at Darren and then at Taylor and neither seemed too enamored by the idea. I knew I’d have to cool off my relationship with Darren if that happened and I liked the way he treated me and fussed over me. Taylor reacted anyway by saying as far as she was concerned she preferred this normal.

By this time it was 1-45pm so a decision was required. I said I’d attend the test and do my best to present as Taylor and answer any questions. Jane insisted we stop by the bathrooms so I could freshen up to give a good impression and afterwards she wished me luck. Darren said he’d meet me afterwards in the refectory. Taylor just disappeared.

……………………………………………………
When I arrived at the waiting area outside the medical room I signed in with the school secretary who directed me to a waiting area. I was pleased to see two friendly faces. They were two of the kinder classmates both sitting in wait. In my time as Taylor they had been nice to me and they were more girly girls than Taylor. Both were wearing skirts and blouses like me rather than trousers that Taylor had always worn to school for as long as I could remember. Trousers did seem to be popular attire these days. They smiled and moved a little for me to share the bench seat.

Melanie spoke before I had chance to say anything ‘Hi Taylor, are you nervous?’
‘A bit. I don’t know what to expect do you?’
‘You are in for a treat then. It’s a Gyn check-up. Some discussion then maybe an examination and questions and answers. Sarah-Jane just left. She was first on the list and she said she hoped we had remembered to wear clean underwear.’
‘Why?’
‘Because she had to strip behind a screen and they had a reclining bed with stirrups and a machine for doing mammograms and pelvic examinations.’
I could feel the blood drain from my face and my knees were weak. ‘What no. That can’t be possible. They said it was a questions and answer meeting.’
‘Don’t worry she was just joking. If they need to do a physical check you strip in privacy and they give you a gown.’
‘Why? I thought it was just a chat.’
‘I thought you were tough and strong and not afraid of anything.’
‘Yes but this is too much. They shouldn’t be doing things like this at school. It’s too personal. What right do they have to examine students.’
‘They only do the girls. That’s why the boys were separated.’
‘But I can’t. I’m …I’m… I’m in the middle of my period.’
‘Well they will find that out in the questions and answers part. They want to know if you are experiencing any problems down below or if your new boyfriend is shagging you and if you are worried about anything.’
‘Well at least they can record that you aren’t pregnant.’
‘But we should object. This can’t be right. Surely parents have to give their consent.’

Before we could continue Melanie was called in to the nurses room and she smiled and crossed her fingers then disappeared. I needed to escape fast. This was crazy and no way was I going to strip. I’d have to call Taylor and get her to come over immediately.
Lynn just smiled nervously and asked if I was OK. All I could do was nod and look around for a place where I could send a message to Taylor and Jane. I was going to have to say I needed the bathroom and then hide somewhere until Taylor arrived.

I stood up nervously and went to the secretary’s desk and said I needed the bathroom urgently. She didn’t seem concerned and anyway Lynn was next in line. As soon as I got into the corridor I tried calling Taylor. Her phone was switched off. Janes just had a message saying she was driving. I sent a message ‘Help’ to both of them and headed to the bathroom.
Finally Jane called back and said that Taylor had met some of the lads from the football team to go for a kick about. Probably her phone was in her bag. I explained what Melanie had said so she suggested that I stick to the story that it was my period. She doubted I would have any physical examinations Especially if I told them it was my time of the month. She suggested that I speak to the nurse and tell her it was my period just in case I was asked to undress.
‘But I don’t know anything about periods so what if she wants to know any detail?’
‘There is no detail to give except to say it just started and you had to go to the bathroom because it was heavy.’
‘Does that mean my thingy is swollen down below?’
Julie burst out laughing. ‘No silly it means heavy in the sense that you have more than usual menstrual bleeding. She shouldn’t ask but if she does just say it happens from time to time and mum says not to worry.’
‘I’m going to kill Taylor when I see her. This is the most embarrassing situation I’ve ever had in my life.’
After we finished the call I thought it was better to remove the padding I’d used to fill out the bra I was wearing to avoid any comments or questions about breast growth. The bra was a little loose even though I had sprouted a little since I started wearing one. I was going to have to check with Jane if it was the tablets or the bra that caused this to occur.

When I arrived back at the nurses office Lynn was missing and there was no sign of Melanie. Two other students arrived but they were from another class so I just smiled and sat down. The secretary gave me a questionnaire that she’d partly completed on my behalf and she asked me to check the details. It was clear that Taylor had had her first gynecology check-up when she was fourteen and the check-up showed no problems that was a relief in more ways than one.
There was a list of points to be discussed with the nurse related to periods, breast growth, birth control, sexually transmitted diseases, sexuality, relationships, pregnancy and body image. I could ask questions even personal ones. Taylors details had been completed and I was asked to sign the form if it was correct.
I ignored the two students and studied the list in an attempt to have answers ready to try to bluff my way through.

Finally it was my turn and luckily it wasn’t the usual school nurse doing the interview and examination so we had never met. I doubted she knew Taylor either. She shook my hand and flashed up what she thought were my details on her computer and I handed over the clipboard with the form I’d signed in my best attempt at Taylors scrawly signature.
She introduced herself as Mrs Bellerin and to call her Sandra. She tried to reassure me and said to stay calm but I couldn’t help but blurting out that it was my period and I couldn’t have a physical examination. She smiled and reached to touch my hand and then held it for a few moments.’
‘Taylor don’t worry I understand. This is always a difficult time of the month for all of us. There is no need to feel embarrassed or get yourself upset. It is meant to be a chat and not a physical examination. You already had that and everything was clear.’
I breathed a sigh of relief but I still allowed Sandra to hold my hand that seemed to give me confidence to speak. ‘Sorry I get emotional and of all the days for my period to start it had to be today.’
‘Well lots of things trigger it. Do you find you are regular and are there any problems?’
‘I guess I’m regular but today was just a bit different for some reason.’
‘Well that might be something just to keep an eye on rather than panic. Do you notice any unusual discharge during the month?’
‘No. I’ve never had any problems at all.’ I hoped that Taylor hadn’t had any since she was unlikely to share this information with me and probably mum as well. I didn’t even know she’d had an internal check-up. She’d have hated anybody probing about her girl parts.
‘Are you in any relationship at the moment?’
‘I have a boyfriend but it’s only recent. Mum insists I focus on my education.’
‘And has there been any intimacy?’
‘Well we have kissed quite a bit since we became friends.’
‘Nothing more intimate like any sexual activity.’
‘No of course not. He is very nice.’
‘Sorry I don’t want to embarrass you but these are standard questions that we ask that allows you to respond or ask your own questions. Girls of your age mature very quickly and sometimes they feel they have to respond if boys are getting over amorous.’
‘Well we’ve only just kissed.’

Then after scribbling a note on her pad she asked me to stand and she took me to a scale to check my weight and then she checked my height. I was slightly less weight than Taylor at the moment and she was a good inch taller so it was now my details being recorded.
‘Your breasts are developing now so do they hurt at all?’
‘They are a little bit sore around my nipples and they are very sensitive.’
‘Do you mind if I take a look. You don’t need to undress just unhook your bra.’
She let go of my hand and I unbuttoned my blouse and reached to unclip the bra. I had soon mastered the technique and I let it hang loose.’
‘Good your breasts are developing and they should swell more and become more rounded. Can I touch them please. I promise that my hands are warm.’
My God where was this going? The tablets must have had more affect than I realised if she thought I had female breasts.
‘Your areola and nipples are quite red and swollen but that’s normal for young girls and especially during the menstrual cycle. You can fasten your bra and your blouse.’
How could I have passed the examination without any further interrogation. I was a boy.’

The rest of the meeting centred mostly around me being made aware of unprotected sex and the risk of pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases. I tried to concentrate but my mind was all over the place. There was some discussion about body hair and keeping pubic areas trimmed. Finally I was told that it was best to ensure I attended further meetings and around the age of 21 it was recommended that I had a full pelvic examination and then frequent breast examinations. In the meantime I should just watch out for any problems down below such as missed periods, heavy bleeding, discharges, itchiness, sores etc. The session ended with a smile and a well done from Sandra. I had been so lucky but I felt that Taylor was so stupid. This was a routine check and she’d missed it.

I left the meeting and called Jane to let her know what had happened. She was annoyed as me because now I’d put myself at risk and was culpable to Taylors stupidity and selfish behaviour. She was more angry than me and moreso when I told her I’d had a breast examination and that Mrs Bellerin had commented that my bust was growing and my nipple soreness was normal.
‘Those bloody tablets. I’ll kill her. She needs a good spank. I don’t know what on earth mum and dad are going to say.’

I was able to calm her down and since it was almost break time and I had no lessons for the rest of the afternoon I messaged Darren and arranged to meet him at the refectory. Quite a few girls were sitting around chatting when I arrived and they were clearly discussing their experiences and opinions about the examinations. Some were due to attend shortly and a few of us had been. It seemed that nobody had a bad experience despite the earlier leg pulling and I was invited to sit with them to share my experiences. I admitted that I’d unfastened my bra and had a breast examination. It seemed it was routine. Luckily there were none of the boys around and the chat grew louder with lots of giggling. I couldn’t see why Taylor was so uncomfortable in their company and why she wanted to be a boy.

When Darren arrived he was greeted with a cheer by the group and there was a bit of teasing as he approached that caused him to colour up. I knew exactly how he felt since I’d had the same treatment many times in my normal boy mode. It seemed funny to be on the other side and completely at ease just because I was wearing a skirt and blouse.
Melonie piped up first since she seems to have the loudest voice. ‘Don’t worry Darren we looked after her. You’ll be glad to know that she’s not pregnant and your massaging is working since Taylor is sprouting faster than the rest of us and she has been told that she needs a bigger bra. One that’s easy for you to unfasten with one hand of course.’
I felt embarrassed for him and felt it was best for the two of us to escape so I suggested we head to a coffee shop somewhere and leave the girls to exchange their experiences and the intimate details.

As soon as we got outside Darren took my hand and he leaned to kiss me. ‘Are you OK? Any problems?’
‘It was scary. I had to follow Janes advice and say it was my period so they didn’t ask me to strip off. It was a close call but it turns out it was more of a chat and advice. Except for Mrs Bellerin wanting to look at my boobs and I had to remove my bra.’
‘Ha ha you don’t have boobs. Just a bit of body fat.’
‘Well a bit more than that really and they do seem to be growing and my nipples are sore just now.’
‘So that’s what the girls meant.’
‘Yes. It’s probably a good thing Taylor is not too big up top. So we look similar.’

‘Come on let me buy you a latte and a piece of carrot cake. That will calm you down.’

‘Come on let me buy you a latte and a piece of carrot cake. That will calm you down.’
…………………………………………
I found myself hanging onto Darrens arm as we strolled to a local coffee shop that was popular with older residents to avoid the risk of bumping into any school friends who were skipping lessons or taking study time out of class. The whole session I’d gone through had been as scary as anything I’d ever experienced and it left me feeling vulnerable and in need of comforting. Darren said he’d wanted to be with me in case I’d got in trouble and he stopped to hug me and I held on as long as I could.
He lifted my chin and kissed me gently. ‘You seem more feminine than ever. I want you to stay like this.’
‘Darren I know you do but you deserve better than me. I can’t see how I can ever make you happy. This afternoon has proved to me that I am still a boy underneath and I’m the odd one out in our family. Jane and Taylor are the girls and dad will be so disappointed in me for not being the son he wanted.’
‘Ty don’t talk like that. I don’t want another girlfriend I’ve found you. You make me so happy and you are so gentle and kind. You aren’t selfish like Taylor and hopefully she will change and follow your example.’
‘But Darren how can you ever tell your family that you have been dating a boy who has dressed as a girl? They’d never accept me.’
‘Well I have a solution so come on lets find a table and enjoy some cake and a coffee.’
The coffee shop was about half full so finding a quiet table wasn’t too difficult. Darren insisted to treat me despite my attempts to pay my half. We sat side by side and shared the carrot cake. I couldn’t resist offering the first taste to Darren with my fork and he smiled in appreciation.
‘What’s your solution?’
‘I just messaged mum and told her I had invited my girlfriend for tea.’
‘Darren I can’t she’ll soon see I’m not a girl.’
‘Well you underestimate yourself, just look at you. I’m sure she’ll see a young woman just like I do. A school friend of mine in looking very sexy in her uniform.’
‘Darren please don’t. How can I be sexy? Just because I was persuaded to wear a skirt and tights. Lots of female students wear skirts and if the headmistress heard you suggesting it was a turn on for boys you’d be in trouble. It’s not like it’s a St Trinians outfit.’
‘Where is St Trinians ? It’s not around here.’
‘It was a remake of a famous series of films where the female six form students wore provocative uniforms with short skirts, stockings and suspenders.’
‘Oh, I’ll have to find it on You tube. Sounds interesting. Look mum’s responded already and she’s delighted. You will get to meet my sister Rebecca and baby Holly. They are visiting because my brother-in-law is away on business.’

I knew Darren had a sister who was in the same year at school as Jane and they were friends. I met her a couple of times but I didn’t realise she’d married and it turned out it was because she was pregnant so it was a small wedding. Holly was now 4 months old.’
‘Are you sure because meeting your mum is one thing but it seems like I should let you have some family time together. I will be in the way and maybe you need to enjoy the chance to bond with your new niece.’
‘I’m OK about it so don’t fret. Holly isn’t awake long enough to bond with anybody but her mum. She is either feeding or sleeping. Mum has already been quizzing me and asking if I had a girlfriend. She guessed I have been meeting someone because I haven’t been miserable and moody recently. I overheard her talking with sis on the phone and I was mentioned in the conversation.’
‘So it will make matters worse if she realises who I am and that we’ve been dating. Well sort of dating if you know what I mean.’
‘I’m sure that she’ll see you as Taylor not as yourself. You are twins and Bec’s knows that Jane has twin siblings. She just didn’t know one was so much more beautiful than the other.’

I punched him on the arm for embarrassing me but only in a playful way.

‘Arghh. It’s a good job the real Taylor didn’t do that. She’d have meant it. Especially since we’ve not hidden about our friendship so she now has a boyfriend. She will be angry with us both for kissing and hugging in public.’

‘Tough for her. It’s me that is in the embarrassing position.’
‘Yes she is very selfish.’
‘Darren I think I am liking this arrangement with Taylor and probably that’s because of you. But I don’t want to hurt you and I think you deserve a real girlfriend. You are so gentle and kind.’
‘Yes but also I can be quite assertive. So you are coming to tea. I want mum and Bec’s to meet the real you and to see why I’ve been so happy recently since I got to know you.’
‘OK if you are sure then I’ll do it for you just this once. But we have to show them this isn’t serious.’

I called Jane to let her know where I was and that I’d been invited to tea. She had lost contact with Rebecca and she didn’t know that she was married and had a baby daughter. She said that she felt guilty for not keeping in contact with Rebecca as well as several other school friends since she left for university. She just said to take care and assumed my relationship with Darren wasn’t serious but more one of convenience.
As we approached Darrens house my stomach was churning even more than it had when I was in the waiting room earlier. He sensed my apprehension and took hold of my hand and held it tightly.
‘Come on Ty nothing to be scared about.’
‘It’s easy to say. What if you call me Ty in front of them? I’m not in full control am I?’
‘Don’t worry. It’s not like you are facing a firing squad. It’s just mum and Bec’s. Anyway we can go up to my room if you like after we’ve said hello.’
‘OK but please be careful about what you say. I’m going to have to get home early to find Taylor and get things sorted. He is so unreasonable.’
‘He?’
‘I mean she. Bloody hell I’m so confused. I’m trying to set my mind in case your mum or Bec’s interrogates me. I have to be so careful. If this gets out God knows how much shit is going to fly.’
‘Ty that’s not like you to use such language.’
‘I know. But that’s nothing to the language Taylor uses at home. If I spoke like her then your mum would think you are crazy to go out with me.’

I took a deep breath as Darren unlocked the front door. He usually entered via the kitchen door but he wanted to give me chance to catch my breath in the hallway before meeting mum or Bec’s. I could hear Holly crying a little bit in another room and Bec’s attending to her. Darren shouted out to his mum who appeared to welcome us wiping her hands on a cloth.
‘Hello Taylor welcome. I’m so pleased to meet you at last. Darren has kept this very quiet. You look nice. It takes me back to when Rebecca was at school. Styles seem to change and Darren doesn’t bother with a uniform. So sad to see standards drop.’
I took her hand and nervously responded. I’ve no idea what I said and Darren told me later that I’d looked so shy and girly and even bent one knee in some sort of curtsey. He could have been joking of course but I had no recollection. At least he said mum was convince I was Taylor.
I put my bag down in the hallway and we went through into the lounge to say hello to Rebecca. She smiled and said hello and waved Darren away since she needed to feed Holly. Her mum and I were allowed to stay and I didn’t know where to look as she started her unfastening her blouse. Then she lifted her bra and exposed her breast ready to feed Holly who immediately suckled.
‘Oh I’m sorry Rebecca.’
Mrs Atkinson cut me short. ‘Never mind Taylor it’s perfectly natural and hopefully you’ll be as relaxed as Rebecca is when your turn comes around.’
My God that was impossible. I must have turned a deep shade of purple. Darren re-appeared and Bec’s turned sideways on to limit his view. I was full on sitting next to her at the other end of the sofa. Then Darren cut in and said he wanted to show me something in his room whilst Holly was being fed.
‘Oh no you won’t young man, You can come and help me and we’ll let Taylor sit with Rebecca and they can chat. Taylor is our guest and you can make us all a drink of tea.’

Bec’s told me that this was the first time you’ve brought a girlfriend home and so she was so pleased that it was me. Mum delivered the tea for both of us and told me she’d sent Darren upstairs to tidy his room. She had prepared a lasagne that was Rebeccas’s favourite meal and she excused herself to do some tidying to do. I didn’t have any choice but to sit with Rebecca and I tried my best to avert my eyes from her breasts as she switched sides.
‘Sorry about this Taylor I’ll be glad when she’s fully on the bottle. I hope you don’t mind but she is always hungry. My nipples get so sore. I have a bottle prepared since I don’t seem to be able to satisfy her.’
I did feel awkward. It wasn’t like anybody had ever exposed themselves and bared their breasts in front of me before. She had such perfect boobs. No wonder Holly wanted to suck on them.
I tried to act as calmly as I could and keep talking. Then she winced and told me that Holly was sucking more since she needed more so would I mind taking over.
‘I can’t. Please Bec’s, you are joking aren’t you?’
‘I was serious. I didn’t mean to feed her with breast milk. I meant would you like to give her the bottle.’
‘But I’ve never done it before. I don’t want to drop her.’

‘Don’t worry it’s the most natural thing. I’ll just let her get her wind up so make yourself comfortable.’
‘But are you sure. I don’t want to hurt her.’
‘Come on Taylor it’s easy. Just sit straight and hold her a minute whilst I test the temperature of the bottle.’

I had no choice. Within seconds I was nursing Holly who looked up at me as if to say ‘Who are you’. She was so cute. I was sure she smiled at me but Bec’s aplogised and said that was wind.

I took hold of the bottle and sat as rigidly as I could so Holly wouldn’t fall to the floor.
‘Come on Taylor just relax. It’s just like cuddling a dolly. You must have had one.’
I hadn’t although I knew that Taylor had discarded a few whilst growing up and given them to me and stolen gifts I’d received. I did feel sorry for those poor dolls that were eventually passed to cousins and daughters of family friends.
Bec’s smiled and thanked me and popped to the bathroom to soothe her nipples and I was left alone. I daren’t reach out to take a sip of my tea that went cold.
Holly made short work of the bottle and seemed to look up at me in disappointment. I sat her up and rubbed her back as Bec’s had done and she let out a large burp that I’d have been proud of. I wondered what it must feel like to have a baby suckle on the breast but tried to dismiss the thought. Luckily Bec’s arrived back in the room and took her to her lap.
‘Thanks for that. It was a relief to soothe my nipples. She never seems to stop. I used to encourage my husband to pay attention to my breasts but Holly leaves him standing. Is my brother any good?’

I tried to smile and dismiss the comment but she was expecting a response.

‘We have only kissed. His hands do wonder a bit but I haven’t let him go too far. We aren’t really dating we are just friends.’

‘Well you seem well suited so I hope he knows what to do. He’s always been shy around girls.’

‘He is quiet and polite but that’s a good thing isn’t it.’

‘I suppose so but we were worried about him since he is a late developer compared to me. I’d had half a dozen boyfriends by the time I was his age. I lost my virginity at 16 with a boy on the way home from school.’
I couldn’t believe my ears. Was this how girls talk and behave? I thought it was supposed to be boys who were the predators. I expected Rebecca to be like Darren. No wonder we had the lecture and the test earlier. It was like it was normal for students to fornicate. I took the first opportunity possible to switch topics to more mundane things.
I asked if she and Jane had been friends at school all the time wondering if Jane had been as promiscuous in her school years. It seemed like Jane didn’t hang around in the same girl group that was a relief. No wonder they didn’t keep in touch. I told her that she was home for a few days since mum was taking care of grandma. She seemed keen to make contact so I told her that I’d get Jane to message her. I daren’t mention to Darren what we’d discussed. I’d never met Bec’s before but yet she seemed to want to share intimate details of her love life. Was she trying to scare me away or was I just being naive?
Bec’s disappeared to change Holly and put her in her cot to go to sleep and I offered to help prepare the table for dinner. It gave Darrens mum chance to chat to me one to one. She asked about my family and how I was doing at school. She knew that I had a twin but seemed to accept the allusion that I was female. This was going a bit too far since no way would Taylor be seen with Darren. He was too average and at the moment she was going through a weird stage anyway. I needed to spend some time with her so I hoped she’d get home tonight and be reasonable.

I enjoyed dinner and I tried to eat slowly and politely. Darren held hands from time to time whenever the conversation erred towards our relationship. The problem was that I quite liked being Taylor and it seemed like Darrens mum liked me. Bec’s was keen to get home to put Holly to bed so I ended up helping Darren to clear things and load the dishwasher. It gave us chance to talk whilst Bec’s and her mum were occupied. I told Darren that I had been grateful for his support through the day and that I was happier than I’d ever been but I needed to get home to sort things out once and for all with Taylor.

‘What do you mean sort things out?’

‘I want to know what she wants and somehow I want to keep our relationship.’

‘Do you mean your relationship with Taylor or me?’

Tyler Taylor Swop Days - Chapter 18

Julie D Cole

‘Do you mean your relationship with Taylor or me?’

I blushed again. ‘I meant with you.’
‘Great I was panicking for a minute then.’

Darren insisted to walk me home and I thanked his mum for dinner and wished Bec’s good luck with baby Holly who was sound asleep. Darrens mum hoped that I’d visit again soon and that she was pleased to have met me. I’d been made very welcome and I hated myself for deceiving them. I couldn’t keep doing this even though I felt so comfortable as Darrens girlfriend. I’d felt so confused.

Darren and I held hands all the way home and we chatted about his family and I told him about my impression of his sister and his mum who were very nice and that neither gave me any strange looks.

‘I told you Ty. Didn’t I say that it wouldn’t be a problem? When you relax you are so natural with no hint of masculinity. I only see you as a girl not a boy and I will support you if you want to stay like this. I don’t care what anybody thinks. I just want you to be my girlfriend.’

We stopped and kissed. How could I go back to being Ty or risk breaking- up our friendship. As I boy I’d have to put up with snide comments if I showed my affection to Darren and we’d be the subject of ridicule and even bullying. Besides I’d liked the way I’d been treated by everybody ever since first swopping identities with Taylor. What started as a bit of fun had become serious.

I managed to persuade Darren to let me go in alone and for him to go back home and it took a while before he finally released me from his arms. He had become quite expert at kissing and his tongue pushed deep into my throat and I welcomed it imagining what it must be like for women while having oral sex. I felt it might be the only way to calm Darren down since he was rock hard and was pressing himself against me. He took my hand and ensured that I understood how he felt about me and I felt myself stiffening although there was no comparison in size and girth.

I managed to break away before he exploded and I whispered to him ‘Please Darren not now. We shouldn’t.’

Reluctantly he released me so I could unlock the front door and he walked slowly towards the gate trying to cover his appendage. I watched him disappear down the avenue and closed the door leaning against it trying to calm myself before finding Jane. She came to the lounge door asking if it was me and I responded with a croaky voice. My throat was dry and I needed a drink.

‘Wow Ty you look flustered. Are you alright?’

‘Sorry Jane. I need a drink but I’m fine thanks.’

‘Well your lipstick is smudged all over your face so perhaps you need to visit the bathroom. I’ll get you some iced water with a slice of lemon.’

I ran upstairs and peered out of the landing window in case I could see Darren down the avenue. I saw him turn and wave as if he knew I was looking for him and I waved back. He had stirred feelings inside me that I’d never experienced before. I’d agreed to call him after I spoke with Taylor even if it was late.
I went into the bathroom and sat and relieved myself. My panties were slightly damp with a stickiness. I wiped myself clean on the bidet and then I looked in the mirror. My face was a mess as Jane had said so I freshened up and reapplied my lipstick. I supposed that wasn’t important since I was home but it felt like the natural thing to do. I changed into some jeans and a tee shirt and headed downstairs.

Jane turned off the tv and passed me my glass of water. After I took a few sips she turned to me.

‘Well I can see that your relationship with Darren is moving at pace. Are you sure that you both know what you are doing?’

‘Yes we do. I think Darren fully understands that this is not the real me and he has no interest in my sister just me. To both of us it’s a bit of fun.’

‘Come off it Ty you are behaving like a teenage girl with her first crush. The change that I’ve seen already in such a short time is remarkable. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes I’d never have believed it possible. You are more of a girl than Taylor will ever be. You have a smile on your face like a Cheshire Cat.’

‘Jane I admit this is fun but I am still Ty. This wasn’t my idea it was Taylors. She wanted to experience more freedom and was envious of the boys at school. She knew I wasn’t interested in outdoor activities and uncomfortable around the boys in my year and she wouldn’t stop going on about it. She said she wished that she had the chance and she pressed me to let her show me how I should behave and eventually I gave in. The first time was just a laugh but then it became serious.’

‘Didn’t you think of talking to mum because sneaking around behind her back is not the right way.’

‘I agree but you know what Taylor is like and she dressed me in her clothes just to prove that I could pass as her. Then she dressed in my clothes and I admit she looked more athletic and she was able to speak in a deeper voice. She liked it so much that she wouldn’t change back for the rest of the afternoon.’

‘Where was mum? Was she at work when all this was going on?’

‘Yes. She had no idea and then Taylor wanted to do it again and then again. Eventually we went out together. I seemed to be accepted as her and some girls we met from school didn’t challenge us.’

‘So they didn’t guess?’

‘No in fact when I went to school as Taylor they became friendly and she made an impact with the guys in the football team. She wouldn’t stop after that whatever I said. It’s become an obsession with her.’

‘But it’s dangerous and you are both getting out of you depth.’

I know and today at school was the last straw. She doesn’t care. It’s like she’s decided this is forever and says I’ll just have to get used to it.’

‘She is stupid. I told her to get home early tonight so we could all have a chat. I just got abuse but I think she’ll be here soon.’

‘She says she’s cut her hair short like the rest of the team. How will that help? She’ll look more boyish than ever. I thought that being more girly and being seen with Darren would force her to listen but she hasn’t. I’ve a good mind to have a buzz cut. That will force her to listen. Especially if we both turn up at school as me.’

‘Have you discussed this with Darren. Do you mind me asking but would he stand by you? Is he gay?’

‘He treats me as a girl and I don’t think he wants anything to change if the truth be known. But he knows this is dangerous and that mum needs to be told what’s been happening. I just hope she comes to her senses.’

‘After what you went through at school today you are lucky not to have been found out and suspended. I still don’t know how you managed it. You must have been panicking and angry. I’d have been spitting feathers. Weren’t you frightened?’

‘I was terrified but the nurse was nice and luckily she seemed to see I was nervous so she re-assured me that helped me to calm down. She just thought I was afraid she would carry out an internal examination so she checked Taylors notes and said she’d had it done before that meant that I didn’t need to strip.’

‘I bet Taylor knew that. Just imagine if she’d have asked you to remove your panties.’

‘I would have probably screamed and run away.’

‘I felt like that as well when I had my tests. Must run in our family.’

We were interrupted by a message to Janes phone. It didn’t seem like Taylor would be home anytime soon according to her friend but she was on her way. Jane said she probably didn’t dare call so she suggested I take a bath to try to relax so I could keep my temper. It seemed like a good idea so I headed to the bathroom and ran the bath whilst removing the light make-up from my face with one of Janes cleansing wipes. Even with no make-up and standing naked with mums shower cap on my head I was looking more girl than boy. My body was hairless and my appendage hardly showed through my pubic bush. I had breast tissue and my hips seemed wider and my buttocks were more rounded. Was I turning into a girl? Was Jane right about the stupid tablets that Taylor encouraged me to take. They did make me feel better.

It was wonderful to sink into the soap suds and the warm water after such a stressful day and I lay back and closed my eyes. I couldn’t help but think about Darrens reaction to our doorstop kissing and his embarrassment about his erection. I sensed that he wanted me to stroke it and I don’t know how I’d managed to resist since I was curious to see how he responded to my touch. I reached down between my legs. Even though I’d become quite stiff my appendage was nothing by comparison. I pushed it between my legs and lifted my hips. I wanted to see what I’d look like if I had a pussy and one that was big enough to accommodate Darren. Imagine what it must feel like to be penetrated, especially the first time. I would never know.

I was brought back to my senses when I heard footsteps racing up the stairs and suddenly the bathroom door burst open. I let out a slight scream and sank under the water as much as I could for privacy. I saw in the mirror that it was Taylor.

‘Don’t mind me but I’m desperate. Look the other way if you are embarrassed.’

‘Taylor do you mind I’m in the bath. What are you doing can’t you wait.’

‘No I’ve been holding on as long as possible on the bus. It’s not like you can see anything anyway except my backside. Just look the other way if you are bothered.’

Taylor dropped her pants and undershorts and actually stood to pee and I could see her pee aimed accurately at the toilet bowl. I tried to look the other way but I was intrigued since I thought women had to sit. I didn’t really have much option but to look. Taylor just seemed to bend her knees slightly and her stream of pee surged noisily into the toilet bowl. It was as if she had a penis.

‘Taylor that’s disgusting. Fancy using the toilet whilst I’m in the bath.’

She just laughed. I looked at her and with her shorter hairstyle and from behind if she’d been standing peeing at a urinal anybody would have assumed she was a youth.

‘I won’t look at you so just relax. No need to squeal. I will just be a minute and I’ll leave you in peace. Jane was using the downstairs loo so it was either here or outside in the garden.’

‘Taylor I think you’ve gone mad. You are not a boy. Why do you pee like one? Why have you cut your hair short and why didn’t you call me. Today was embarrassing for me and you don’t give a toss. We have to stop this it’s gone too far.’

‘No way this is great. Anyway you have a boyfriend and you’ve been seen snogging and getting each other worked up. You must admit you are having as much fun as I am.’

‘Yes but we could get kicked out of school. Mum will go ape when she sees us and you’ve made Jane angry so don’t count on her for support.’

‘I don’t need her support. I’m quite capable of looking after myself and I’ve already made my decision. I should have had the penis. Yours is wasted and I bet its shrivelled to nothing by now in the bath. I bet I’m bigger than you already and it’s a lot more sensitive these days. When I wake up I like to stroke it. I think it’s the testosterone I’ve been taking and look at the hair on my legs and stomach. I’m never going to shave or wax like mum and Jane. Before we started on the herbal medicine I had awful periods and I hated the time of the month. Now the tablets have reduced my periods a lot. Boys don’t know they are born. If you had to deal with that you might understand.’
‘But you bought tablets without considering the consequences. Jane says we should stop and I did. Are you still taking them?’

‘Of course I am. A friend of mine on Facebook helped me and gave me advice. She took them and now he’s living full time as a man.’

‘You are mad.’

‘Yes but I am happy and I have freedom and I can play soccer and hang out without fear. You must have seen that it’s not safe being out alone as a female.’

‘Yes I have but this wasn’t supposed to be more than fun swopping sometimes. I can switch back from tomorrow.’

‘Not if it’s left to me and look you have grown boobs. You are almost as big as me. I’m going to the gym to build my pecs and shoulders and I aim to have surgery when I’m old enough with my own income.’

‘But you need to get mums approval. I don’t think she’ll let you.’

‘No doubt we’ll fall out but eventually I’ll get my way just wait and see.’

‘And in the meantime?’

‘I carry on and I think you should seriously consider the same. We won’t be the first to change identity and we can decide for ourselves at our age. ’

‘I carry on and I think you should seriously consider the same. We won’t be the first to change identity and we can decide for ourselves at our age. ’

I was so close to tears. I just managed to stop myself since I couldn’t give even more ammunition to Taylor. I managed to speak.
‘Taylor you are so selfish. We can’t just switch back overnight or we’ll soon get found out. I can’t do what you’ve been doing at football and even if I cut my hair now I will look effeminate because of the tablets you gave me. I don’t know how we can stop this madness. Look at us.’

‘No problem for me. You need to get real just look in the mirror. I’ve made my decision for my future and it’s final. If you are honest with yourself you’ll do the same. You were always more girl than me and now it shows more than ever. Your features and your behaviour scream girl. Look how you’ve changed in such a short time since I gave you chance to be yourself. You’ve soon fallen in love.’

‘Have not, it’s just that Darren felt I needed protection and I was vulnerable. I had no experience what life is like for a girl and he just gave me confidence and support. I was scared and there was nobody to confide in since you didn’t have many girlfriends at school. Nobody seemed to have any suspicion and even our teachers seemed to accept me like this. I expected some reaction but there was nothing.’

‘I didn’t like the girls at school and I feel that at least I fit in now, You’ve quickly made friends with a lot of them so carry on fitting in. I certainly have no desire to go back as a girl.’

‘Taylor stop please and take a time out. You are a girl not a boy. Just because you are sprouting hair on your body and getting stronger doesn’t mean anything.’

‘Well I like it and the more that grows the better. It is already pronounced on my chest, arms and legs and it’s dark not blond and fuzzy like yours. Look I’m even getting hair on my lip and chin. Maybe soon I’ll need to shave and then it will get even thicker.’
‘Taylor if you don’t stop you’ll end up with dark shadow that you can’t cover up. Jane says we both need to stop taking those tablets immediately. You may never be able to have children.’

‘For goodness sake stop being such a puss. I don’t want babies. The risk of hormones is worth it. I know I’m really a boy and mum and dad tried to stop me from dressing and behaving like this as we were growing up. I’m giving them no say in the matter anymore. I’m your brother from now on and you can please yourself what you do as far as I’m concerned.’

‘Taylor please you are crazy. Is it the medication? I’m begging you stop it.’

‘You should be grateful I bought the medication so you owe me. Look at what your tablets have done already. They have helped you to go through puberty as a girl like I did and growing boobs and changing shape. Come on step out of the bath and let me take a closer look at you.’

‘Taylor stop it I’m not turning into a girl, I’m just confused because of the stupid medication. I was like the other boys until you started your games and I was doing well at school. You’ve turned my life upside down.’

‘You seem fine to me sis dear. You weren’t ever a proper boy so don’t kid yourself. It’s not the tablets that have confused you. You were confused because you never went through male puberty like the other guys. You weren’t growing and you were behaving like a girl before I suggested we have swop days. This is just your natural development. It’s the real you coming out at last. You make a better sister than you ever did a brother. ‘

‘Taylor I’m getting cold in here will you pass me my towel and let me get out of the bath.’

‘I’m not stopping you but if it makes you feel better I’ll wait in your bedroom. It’s not like you’ve got anything I haven’t seen before other than your buds. Maybe we can compare notes and take some selfies so we can look back at old photos and see how we’ve changed. You look quite cute and some of the guys in the team have asked me to fix up a date for them.’

There was only one thing I could do. I threw the large bath sponge at her that was filled with water and she cried out as it hit her at the back of the head. I knew to duck down since she threw it straight back it me narrowly missing me and smacking against the wall. She needed revenge so she grabbed my bath towel and threw it into the water before bursting out laughing.

‘That’ll teach you. It’s a good job I missed with the sponge. Don’t ask me to get a fresh towel you’ll just have to get it yourself from the airing cupboard.’

‘Oh no Taylor please. Don’t be so mean.’

At least throwing the bath sponge at each other made us both laugh and eventually Taylor relented and found me a fresh towel as she dried her hair on a hand towel.

‘See the advantage of my short hair. Dry in no time. It’s much better for getting dry after football sessions.’

It took me a while to dry myself and I wrapped the towel around my chest and headed to my room where Taylor was sitting on my bed.

‘You look so much like a girl Ty like that. You smell nice too. I think I’ve done you a favour so what’s to complain about. You should let your hair grow longer it will suit you.’

I looked in the mirror and stared at my reflection. My hair was mid length and I had to admit to myself that I’d wanted to see what I’d look like with a longer style. Then Taylor stood and moved behind me. She took hold of the towel and asked me to let it drop to the floor. I resisted for a while but Taylor wasn’t going to let go so I just nodded and said OK.’

‘Look tell me if you see a boy or a girl.’

I put my arm across my chest to cover my budding breasts. ‘I look like a boy.’

‘No you don’t. Boys don’t have boobies and hips. Look at your narrow shoulders and slim waist. And your butt is much too round to be on a boy.’

‘I just haven’t developed as quickly as the others at school.’

‘Yes you have. More like the girls.’

‘Stop teasing. I know you are making it up.’

‘Well I’ve exaggerated a bit but you have to admit you are a lot more feminine than me. Do you want to compare?’

‘No Taylor we shouldn’t.’

‘Why not?’

Before I had chance to stop her she removed her top and her trackies. I was stunned. My eyes went to the bulge between her legs.

‘Is that you?’

‘Sort of. I’ve added a bit to make the underwear look right. It’s an insert.’

‘Look at your shoulders and upper arms. Are you weight training or something? Is that bandage holding in your boobs?’

‘Yes I have been lifting weights. I feel stronger and fitter and I’m as good as anybody in the team already. I think my boobs are less prominent due to the muscle but I still need the binding I’m afraid.’

‘Your arms are much more muscular than mine.’

‘See that just proves my point. I can build my body through regular exercise because I was meant to be the boy and somehow I came out with girl bits and you came out with a little dink. Let’s have a proper look at you. See not much to show even now. All the boys in the team are far bigger.’

‘What? You’ve seen boys naked in the changing rooms?’

‘Of course. They don’t hide and some of them like to show off a lot swinging it about. Eddie Jackson is a monster. Why couldn’t I be born like that?’
‘Taylor you are completely mad. You mean you undress with the team? Have they seen you without clothes?’

‘Course not I’m not that stupid. I have to find a corner and I turn my back when I’m putting on my underwear. I have a packer so when I turn around it looks like I’m as big as they are.’

‘But if I did that, they’d strip me and throw me in the shower.’

‘Well I guess I’m tougher than you so that just proves my point. Nobody bullies me. You were always a girly boy growing up. Why do you think I suggested to swop?’

‘Was not. I was just as strong as you and growing up we were always the same size.’

‘Whatever. I was taller in our early teens but you finally caught up with me. But look now. I am spurting again as well as gaining strength and already developing my biceps and shoulders and look at my stomach muscles. They are more pronounced since I’ve been training with the team.’

‘It’s those bloody hormone tablets as well not just your training. Just look at the hair on your legs. You are like a gorilla.’

‘I’ve just stopped shaving them. It was a pain. See how you like it.’

‘I don’t need to shave my legs, I’m a boy.’

‘Yes a boy with no body hair with tits, who looks like a girl. Are you gay then since you have a boyfriend? I’ve seen you snogging him. Does he fondle your boobies?’

‘I don’t have boobies and he wouldn’t fondle them anyway even if I did.’

‘He must be gay then if he doesn’t want to fondle your tits.’

‘Stop it Taylor. I’m not a girl, I’m your brother. You need to start behaving like my sister and stop all this nonsense.’

‘You don’t get it do you sis. I’ve always been the real boy in this family not you. Just accept it and enjoy yourself. Be the second daughter that mum always wanted and things will be a lot easier for both of us. She’ll have somebody to spoil and buy nice things for and to sit and chat with. I can be free of her fussing.’

‘But this is madness. We can’t just switch. Nobody is going to accept us becoming each other even if we got away with it so far.’

‘I was actually thinking we reached the stage where we come out and make it official rather than play games. I think the boys in the team might be a bit shocked and embarrassed at first since I’ve seen them all in the buff but it’s not like any of them fancy me or are likely to boast about it. I’ve been a stand out player and I know who has what between their legs.’

‘You could get suspended if this comes out. Both of us could.’

‘Who cares they will have to let us back since we’ll have medical support to defend our actions.’

‘But I feel that you are trying to force me to change sex and trade places in our family. It’s wrong. All wrong.’

‘Anybody would think you are out of your comfort zone. You love being beautiful and dressing as a girl. I hated it. Just imagine what you’ll look like with mums support and a full course of treatment. Same for me if I carry on taking hormones for another twelve months or so.’

‘But it’s all false. It’s all down to the drugs. We have to stop and get back to normal.’
‘Get over it. Come on this is us. Before wasn’t normal so it’s best if you just ‘follow my advice. I’ll take care of you so don’t worry.’

‘Taylor I’m not a child. I’m your twin brother not your sister. I need to get dressed so will you please leave and give me some privacy.’
‘Nobody is stopping you. I’ve seen it all before and there is nothing much for you to be shy about. I suppose you want to wear something pretty. Darren isn’t here but I suppose Janes boyfriend will be around and you’ll want to impress.’
‘No I don’t. You like your privacy as well don’t you? Well you used to but now after your exhibition relieving yourself in front of me I am not so sure anymore.’
‘I’ll leave so don’t get your knickers in a twist. I’ll be waiting in my room so hurry up. I want to discuss what you need to say to mum when she gets home so we can move on.’
I was speechless as Taylor closed the door behind her. What was I going to say to mum?’
…………………………………………………….

Tyler Taylor Swop Days - Chapter 20

‘I was speechless as Taylor closed the door behind her. What was I going to say to mum?’
There was no way that mum would believe that this was a game. It had gone too far and Jane had got dragged into it and she’d be in trouble too. Unless of course that she’d already said something to her or dropped a few hints at least. I was scared since she always said I was the perfect son. I had never been in trouble and I’d been a model student at school and now because I’d gone along with Taylors crazy ideas I had ruined all my hard work because everything was sure to come out now Taylor had flipped.

I decided to lock my bedroom door and get dressed in my own clothes, then call mum and tell her everything. I was pretty sure that Jane would back me up although she had dropped hints that she needed to get back to work PDQ. I didn’t much fancy the idea of being alone with Taylor whilst she was in her current mood.
I looked in my underwear drawers for a clean pair of sleep shorts and a t-shirt but it was filled with Taylors things. I checked all my drawers and my wardrobe. All my things had disappeared and there was a limited array of outfits that Taylor had refused to wear most of which still had labels. I searched for anything of mine but she’d obviously cleared everything out. No way would it have been Jane and no wonder Taylor had a smirk on her face when she said she’d meet me in my bedroom.
I put on the dressing gown that was hanging at the back of my bedroom door and the matching slippers close by and unlocked the door. It was silk and didn’t fasten so I had no choice but to put on a pair of panties to cover myself properly. My new breasts were difficult to hide and neither were my my nipples. I cursed as I headed to her room and found her sprawled on her bed looking at her i-pad.
‘Hi sis, don’t you look cute. I wish mum could see how you look in that gown she bought. She’ll get off my back once and for all.’
‘Taylor what have you done with all my things. You’ve no right to go in my room uninvited and you’d better return everything immediately. I need to get dressed.’
‘There you go again. You blame me for everything. How do you know it wasn’t Jane since she seems have accepted that we have swopped places.’
‘No we haven’t. I’m going to call mum and tell her what you’ve done and the tricks you’ve been playing. I need my clothes back and then I can do a video link.’
‘I haven’t got your things and maybe they are in the charity bags that mum left. You’ll have to be quick though as I called them this morning to tell them we had a collection. It was mum’s idea that we had a clear out.’
‘Yes but not to give the clothes that we wear away.’
‘You haven’t been wearing them so I assumed they were surplus.’
‘What about your clothes. Let me see in your wardrobe.’
‘Take a look everything there is mine. Same with the clothes in my drawers. No point you wearing my sports gear and why not just wear what you had on today or borrow something from Jane or her boyfriend.’
‘Jane doesn’t wear boy clothes like you and he is much bigger than me even if I asked. I’m going to kill you for this. They better not have collected the bags. Where are they?’
‘They’ve been since I left them all at the end of the drive and there was no sign of them when I came in.’
‘You are going to pay for this just wait and see. I’d used my own money to buy most of the new things. Others were gifts.’
‘Well that’s a good thing isn’t it? Think of the money the charity will raise.’
‘I’ve had it with you from now on. Just don’t speak to me and don’t expect me to clear up after you and feed you after Jane leaves.’
‘Big deal. I can always bring my girlfriend around. She’ll be happy for the chance.’

I stormed out and went back to my room. I looked through everything and found some leggings still in a pack and a white blouse that was the closest thing to a shirt in the wardrobe. It barely reached the top of the leggings and it was tight around my body and had more material in my chest area. My breasts were too obvious through the material and my nipples showed so I decided to put on a white bra. I was looking for something else as an alternative when my phone rang. I froze momentarily and luckily it was Darren not mum.

‘Hi Ty. I just wanted to have a chat in case you are still intending calling your mum and telling her what’s been happening.’
‘Thanks but I haven’t had chance since Taylor has upset me and we’ve been arguing.’
‘Oh no. What about? Are you OK?’
‘I’m OK but she’s been in my room and she’s cleared all my things out and bagged them up for charity. I only have what she left for me and my school outfits. All female clothing and lots of things that were bought for her that she refused to wear.’
‘Oh that’s crazy. Has she gone mad?’
‘She’s flipped. She’s being really awful to me. I can’t seem to get through to her anymore.’
‘Well as it happens I was calling to ask you to think before you call your mum. I Like you as you are and if it means anything to you I don’t want you to change. I really like you as a girl.’

I just burst into tears I couldn’t stop myself. ‘ Darren please don’t make it worse than it already is. Please.’
‘Look Ty, you are so natural and it’s hard to believe you are a boy. Don’t cry. You’ve seemed so happy despite all the aggro with Taylor. I’m falling in love with you. I was so proud of you earlier when you met mum and sis. They like you a lot and mum couldn’t stop talking about you when I got home. She is so happy that I’ve found a girlfriend and she thinks you are beautiful and very polite. She really believes that you are Taylor.’
‘Oh Darren that doesn’t help at all. I’ve been so happy spending time with you and I liked both of them too. But what would they say if they knew who I really am. I just tried my best to behave like them and how I would expect Taylor to behave.’

‘She wouldn’t have a clue. She will never get a boyfriend in my opinion.’
‘I don’t think that will bother her at all. She really thinks she was born a boy but I stole her body.’
‘Seriously?’
‘Well that’s just about what she said. She’s always been a bit of a tomboy. Swopping made her worse.’

‘Look Ty just wait and I’m coming round. Don’t call your mum until after we’ve had chance t0 talk. It’s really important so please promise me.’
‘OK I promise. I want to have a chat with Jane about what Taylor has done and especially since she has to leave to go back to work.’
‘Well if it helps I’m happy to come a stay with you until your mum gets home. I don’t like to see you and Taylor alone together if you are arguing.’
‘It would be nice but I’m not sure that your mum will be too happy about us staying together .’
‘Don’t worry I’ll tell her your mum and sister are here and I’m sharing Ty’s room. That’s not a lie is it?’

‘I guess that’s true. But I’m not sure that’s a solution. It just gives Taylor even more ammunition. She’s revelling in it and I just feel like slapping her face.’
We ended the chat and I unlocked my door and went downstairs to find Jane. She could see that I’d been crying so she jumped to her feet and gave me a hug. I wished she still lived at home. After a few minutes in her arms she lifted my chin and kissed me on the nose and smiled.
‘Come on Ty lets sit and have a chat and see what’s upsetting you. Is it Taylor again?’
‘Yes she is mad. She’s emptied my drawers and wardrobe and replaced everything with her things. Clothes and underwear that she’s had bought as gifts that she refused to wear. She said she bagged it all up and that she arranged for it to go to the charity shop. All my best things and she’s stolen my school outfits and I have nothing left. I could kill her. I hate her. She just laughed in my face.’

‘Look Ty whatever she’s done there will be consequences. Are you sure she hasn’t just hidden them since I never saw anybody call to collect or any bags. She’s hardly been in the house.’
‘I don’t know either but she says she did it and if she’s just hidden everything I don’t know where it might be. I suppose it could be in the garage or up in the loft. But why would she do it and why make it up? She has a mental problem.’
‘Well it does seem that way. I should find her and find out the truth. Is she still upstairs?’
‘Yes she’s in her room. I heard her laughing and joking on her phone. Well my phone actually.’
‘OK why don’t you have a drink and I’ll go up and talk to her.’
‘Jane before you do can I ask you something?’
‘Of course what is it? Anything anytime.’
‘Do you think of me as a brother or a sister?’
‘Mmm. I don’t know what you expect me to say. I think you are Ty and I am your big sister here to look after you as I’ve always done. You are so sweet and kind and I’ve always been so proud of you.’
‘And what about Taylor. Do you feel the same about her?’
‘She is different. As she’s grown up she became more distant and she has changed since puberty. I think she had a tough time. Lucky you never went through that experience. Periods are not nice.’
‘Is that why she gets aggressive?’
‘It was at first and mum and I tried to help. You were obviously oblivious to what was happening. Men usually are. I’ve noticed a change though since she started taking tablets. She doesn’t seem to be the same person. Definitely more boy than girl.’
‘What about me then? Do you think the tablets have changed me?’
‘Not really. I think your body might be changing a bit but your personality is the same.’
‘Effeminate?’
‘Well I think a lot of men are sensitive and kind. It’s not effeminate it’s not easy for me to define. I think you have always had a softness and I suppose that’s why you were able to convince people that you were a teenage girl and not a boy. I guess you have female mannerisms and maybe that was because of mum and me fussing you so much.’
‘Well Darren has treated me like a girl from the day he first spoke to me on the school bus and he still does. I think that has made me so convincing.’
‘Is he gay or does he think of you as a girl?’
‘I don’t think he is gay. Soes that make me gay if I like him?’
‘Not especially. Not if you think you are really a girl in a boys body. Is that your feeling?’
‘It wasn’t to start with but now I am not sure. I’m scared. Especially if you leave to go back home for work.’
‘I don’t want to leave you but I don’t have much choice.’
‘Have you said anything to mum about what Taylor and I have been doing behind her back?’
‘No since it is not fair to you.’
‘Do you think she’ll be upset and angry?’
‘A bit at first but in my opinion she’ll understand and she’ll be more accepting than you might think. Her problem is more likely to be with Taylor.’
‘What about dad? He always wanted a son who he could spend time with. I’ve been a disappointment.’
‘Don’t be too quick to judge. He might surprise you. Take it slowly and let mum deal with him on your behalf. If that’s what you’ve decided. Have you?’
‘No decision. Darren is coming round soon. He wants to influence my decision I think. He told me his mum and his sister liked me when I went to meet them and they are happy that he’s met a girl. We chatted about you a bit and they think I’m Taylor.’
‘Have you done anything with Darren to make him so besotted?’
‘No I haven’t. He’s too shy and I am too scared of letting it go too far.’
‘But you’ve kissed surely?’
‘Yes and he was getting quite excited. He was pushing against me and trying to get me to touch him.’
‘Did you?’
‘No I stopped myself and pulled away.’
‘So what about you? How do you feel when he kisses you?’
‘I don’t want him to stop.’
‘All the way?’
‘That’s not possible is it?’

Tyler, Taylor Swop Days - Chapter 21
by
Julie D Cole

‘Are you being serious? Would you let him if you were equipped? Oung girls would never let things go so far. That is what we are taught from an early age.’

‘I guess it just came into my head and the words came out without thinking. Now I’m wondering what it would be like to become serious and how people deal with it when they are both the same sex. I guess you went through that phase with boys since you were very popular.’

‘It was difficult because some boyfriends wanted me to have sex even on a first date but I resisted temptation. I don’t know that there is an answer for you with Darren but people in love find a way. I suppose it is easier for two women in love to be intimate. I hope you never think about taking drastic action since it is irreversible. You would have to be sure and there will be lots of information out there if you want to do some research. Whatever you do please take your time thinking about the consequences and not just for you.’

‘I’m not even thinking about it at all. I got caught up in this mess but I have not had any other approaches or relationships. I haven’t had chance really since I never seem to sit still. I rarely get any me time anymore.’

‘Well try your best to find time and don’t bottle things up. I think you need to seek help and advice and we can start the ball rolling by talking to mum. You know you have my support and in the meantime I recommend that you keep a distance from Taylor, so she doesn’t bully you into anything. She has her own problems to deal with and she worries me far more than you do. You are much more level-headed and you are sweet and kind. You make a beautiful sister so no wonder that Darren is so smitten.’

We hugged and some tears came to my eyes and ran down my cheeks. I started sobbing and so Jane guided me to the sofa to sit down and gave me a tissue to dry the tears.

‘I’m so glad that I’ve been home for you whilst this has been happening. I’m not sure that Taylor is totally to blame you know. Have you ever felt that you should have been a girl?’

‘Yes I have but I always stopped myself since I knew it would cause upset and I thought the feelings would pass. I used to look at you getting ready for school and to go out and I wished it was me.’

We were interrupted by a call to my i-phone to bring us both back to earth. It was Darren and he said he was close by and he wanted to meet me before I went to bed so we could talk. Jane commented on the time but said it was probably best if we talked so she nodded her agreement. She suggested I invite him in and she’d make herself scarce.
I was waiting at the front door when Darren arrived and opened it before he had chance to press the doorbell in case Taylor was still around. She’d been quiet if she was still in her room that was unusual. I stepped outside and closed the door as quietly as I could and we stood outside in the porch. Neither of us spoke and then Darren stepped forward and wrapped his arms around me. I looked into his eyes and there was enough light for me to see that he’d been crying too.

‘Darren what’s wrong? Have you come to tell me that you want to break up?’

‘Not exactly I’ve been arguing with mum and I stormed out of the house. She knows about us.’

‘Of course she does I’ve just visited for tea and you told her I am your girlfriend.’

‘Yes but she knows who you really are and that you are not Taylor.’

‘How? Is it so obvious that I’m Ty? I thought you said I look totally feminine.’

‘You do. It was sis who called her to say she’d met a friend on the way home and she’d told her that you were dating Taylor. It seems our secret is out at school and most people know that Taylor and I have been swopping clothes and attending school as each other. Her friend told her to check if I knew and if you’d been fooling me. Ty it’s going to be all around school tomorrow so the headmaster is sure to find out.’

‘ Shit!! Why can’t people mind their own business? It wasn’t like it was any more than a lark. We can easily stop and go back to normal.’

‘Really? I don’t think so Ty since we haven’t hidden our relationship so I’m sure to be interrogated as well as you and Taylor. The football team are sure to be angry even if nobody else were to complain as Taylor has changed alongside them all. Is that what you want?’

‘It’s just that I can’t afford to be expelled and I need to focus on my school grades. I’ve lost a lot of ground and if I fail then mum and dad will be angry.’

‘So you aren’t understanding my point. This is hot news for gossip mongers at school and it will be leaked by first break believe me.’

‘But I have no choice. If I stop now then maybe it will just blow over. I might get punished but not expelled. I can take whatever they dish out.’

‘ So that’s it then. It’s over. I’ve lost you.’

‘Darren you haven’t lost me. We can still be friends.’

‘So just mates and no more dating or hugging?’

‘I guess not. But we can still go places together and visit each others homes.’

‘Look Ty be realistic. Who is going to trust us to be alone together? Mum went ballistic and maybe your mum will be even more annoyed because of Taylor. She’ll blame you I bet.’
‘Ty I’m not giving up on you. I’ve fallen in love with you and I can only think of you as a girl however you dress or behave. You were meant to be a girl not a boy. It was a freak mistake.’

‘Please don’t say that. I’m not a freak.’

‘No I didn’t mean it like it sounded. I just meant that you and Taylor might have mixed hormones and maybe the medication you’ve been taking has triggered a reaction so female hormones took charge.’

‘And the moon is made of cheese.’

‘Let’s stop arguing and maybe we worry about the future tomorrow. I aren’t going home until mum apologizes. She was too rude.’

‘But she’ll worry herself sick so you have to go home.’

‘No I won’t I’ll sleep in the park on a bench if I have to. She thinks I’m in my room with my door locked but I climbed out of the window and onto the garage roof then down to the driveway. I’ll go back the same way tomorrow after she’s gone to work.’

‘But you can’t sleep in the park. Something might happen to you and then how will I feel?’

‘Well how about I stay here tonight then?’

‘You mean here in my room? In my bed?’

‘Why not? Nobody will find out? I’ll hide here until Taylor has gone to school. You will help me won’t you?’

‘Well I prefer you sleep here rather than in the park. I can make up a bed on the floor using my duvet.’

‘I am not infectious so we can both fit in your bed. It’s big enough.’

I thought about it and even though this was not what I expected to happen I agreed. I found him some shorts and a tee shirt and we changed. I went to the bathroom to clean my teeth on tiptoes and brought a spare brush and a glass of water for James.’

‘I expected you to wear a nightdress Ty. Why the tee-shirt and shorts? Wouldn’t you feel more comfortable with a nightdress since your breasts and nipples stick out a bit.’

‘I didn’t want to get you too excited. I thought sleeping in my normal gear would be more responsible.’

‘Whatever. I still think you look cute. I will try to behave I promise.’

I turned off the bedside light and lay back trying to get to sleep but my head was buzzing. Darren seemed restless too and he sighed a few times.
After a while I whispered to ask if he was still awake and he said yes.

‘Ty do you mind if I hold you since it will help me to get to sleep. I promise I’ll behave.’

‘Yes that’s OK because I was trying to think of a way to ask you to cuddle me. I feel so confused.’

It felt so good. It had been years since I’d slept in mums bed with her arms around me. I felt safe and warm but not for long.

‘Darren, what’s that?’

‘What’s what?’

‘That thing sticking in my back. Are you about to explode.’

‘Maybe it’s just the effect that you have on me. I can’t help it. You smell so nice and you fit into my arms perfectly.’

‘But Darren you have to be careful. Can’t you go to the bathroom and sort it out. It’s enormous.’

‘I don’t want to take the risk of bumping into Jane or Taylor. You could help me to release the pressure if you don’t mind of course.’

‘Darren do you mean you want me to hold you and move my hand up and down.’

‘You are funny Ty. Just holding me will help a lot. But don’t squeeze please. Just be gentle.’

‘OK but just a minute until I get a pair of my shorts to ensure you don’t make a mess of my bed.’

I don’t think Darren let out a scream but he certainly writhed around a lot before he exploded. He could have easily filled the glass I gave him to clean his teeth. When he finished he lay back and groaned. ‘Ty that was great. I’m sorry but that’s the effect that you have on me. I’ve always dreamed that one day a beautiful girl would bring me to climax. I’m so glad it was you.’

I rested my head on his chest and discarded the shorts that retained his fluid. I’d have to throw them out rather than put them to the wash. Darren cuddled me and I closed my eyes.

About two hours later Darren was nudging me and seemed to be having difficulty getting back to sleep.

‘What’s wrong Darren. Can’t you sleep?’

‘No I want to do it again. Don’t you feel excited too?’

‘A bit but I don’t get erections much now since Ty fed me the tablets. I still have feelings but no response. Yours is like a flagpole again. Is it something you ate that’s causing that.’

‘Something I’d like to eat but don’t take that the wrong way Ty. I mean you are sweet enough to eat.’

‘Ha, ha.’

‘Do want me to help again?’

‘Would you mind? I’m sure it will settle down after that. I love you so much Ty. Please don’t be hasty and I promise to support you. I really want to kiss you this time as well. Would you mind? ‘

‘I’d like that too. Let me find something else to cover you and take the load.’

‘Ty will you change into a nightdress whilst you are out of bed. Do you have one to hand.’

‘I have a few in my drawer. I have a black silk one that I wear with matching panties.’

‘Ooh Ty don’t please. Hurry up I need your help.’
