I'm releasing the first chapter of two different stories today, The Play and Twin Swap. I'd like to continue them both but not at the same time so let me know what you think of them and which one you'd rather I write first!

The bell rang and I grabbed my bag and bolted from the classroom. The sooner I got to the theater and found out what my part was, the sooner I'd be able to go home. Then I wouldn't have to deal with the play until play practice tomorrow.

Damn... play practice. Why was it that time of year again?

I go to an all boys school and the school has certain rules about extra carricular activities. Everyone has to play at least one sport (that was fine, I play two and am the captain of the soccer and baseball teams), everyone had to be in one club (also fine, I always did his club work in school) and everyone has to do at least one play. I don't love doing the plays but I usually do it with my friends and we make it fun, or at least tolerable. The school puts on 3 shows a year, one in each season, and me and my friends would always do the winter one, so it wouldn't conflict with soccer or baseball. Today we would be finding out our roles. Mrs. Cato, the drama teacher always had everyone in the play come to the theater and announced the roles rather than posting them on a list so that if we had any questions about our parts we could ask her after. There were maybe two kids who ever actually had questions, the two kids who did multiple plays a year, but Mrs Cato still preferred to do things this way.

I checked my phone. 3:20. My teacher had held me late in science. I flew down the stairs into the basement where the theater was navigating the hall ways at something between a walk and sprint. When I finally got there I grabbed the closest seat, right next to my friend, Cameron, and flung my bag at my feet.

The theater has a handful of kids, spread around the seats facing the stage, talking in small clusters facing the stage. About half to kids were here already but Mrs Cato didn't seem to be. Cameron looked up at me.

"Sup dude?" he said nodding.

"Not much, you?" I responded.

"Not much. Just waiting to be able to leave." he said with a smile.

Cameron a laid back, dark haired kid, who despite his baby face and frame even thinner than mine has already started started puberty. His voice had gotten lower and he was hairier than most of us. He's also on the baseball team with me and one of my closest friends.

"Cato, come in yet?" I asked him.

He shook his head and the door opened and we both turned around to see my friend Austin enter and grab the seat on my other side.

"Fuck dude, that time of year again." he said with a smile. "Time to get our acting on."

Austin was a friendly kid with floppy brown hair and an athletic body type. He wasn't as skinny as most of us but was the furthest thing from fat. He was always joking around, had a relaxed, laid back vibe and was very popular with the girls at the girls school down the street

"Tell me about it. Last one ever." I say grinning back. After middle school the plays are no longer mandatory. "Are you nervous?"

Austin gives me a look. "About my part?" I nod. "Not really, they don't like to make you play a girl twice and I played the chick in My Fair Lady in 6th grade. Remember?"

I smiled at the memory of Austin having to play the lead My Fair Lady.

"You were a babe" I said with a laugh and Cameron grinned. "Made it easy to serenade you." My part had involved falling in love with Austin's character. "Broke my heart when you chose that doctor guy or professor guy or whatever he was."

"Thanks dude. Hope it didn't take you too long to get over me." Austin said a smile. "You nervous?"

There was always a certain nervousness in the theater because a few unfortunate kids always had to play girl parts. This wasn't that big a deal, because a handful of guys had to do it every year and deal with the jokes and whoever had to would usually turn it into a joke themselves, but almost everyone would rather not have to. Some of the kids who were into acting actually enjoyed the challenge. I'd never had to do it but I wasn't that worried. I have kind of a guyish vibe and I figured that's why I'd never been cast in a girl part although that hadn't stopped Mrs Cato before. I knew they tried to spread out who had to play girls. I knew there was a a small handful of girl parts and only some 15 people had signed up for this play. I knew it was possible but I wasn't worried about it.

"Not really." I replied. "I don't think it'll be me, and even if it is its probably not that bad."

"Its not" Austin said. "It was funny. Kinda fun honestly."

I put on a high pitched voice. "Um Austin, is there something you want to tell me?" I say with a laugh.

We all laugh.

"You are a pretty good singer though Trevor" Cameron says, "thats why Cato always gives you a part. So you never know."

"Yeah" I say with a grin. "I'm a fucking star. I'm practically Aaron fucking Patterson" Aaron Patterson is one of the kids who actually likes acting and he's a legitimately good actor. "You ever had a girl part, Cam?" I ask.

He grins.

"Yeah remember. That year I played basketball and did the fall play. I played one of the girls in Annie orphanage" he said with a slightly embarrassed smile. "Wasn't too bad. Certainly didn't have it as bad as James Ordonowitz or Nick Galloway."

James and Nick had played Annie and the woman who came to pick any up from the orphanage. Ordonowitz is one of those kids who is into the whole theater thing. He's obsessed with Aaron Patterson and thinks he's an incredible actor like him but he isn't even so everyone always messes with him about it. He was actually excited to be Annie. Galloway on the other hand hated it so much he joined the year book club just to make sure no photos of him in the dress made it into the yearbook. Usually the move was to enjoy it less than James Ordownowitz but have more fun with it than Nick Galloway.

"That's right! Galloway was tight about that for months. I think he still might be." I said.

"Yo Trevor, where's Dylan?" Cameron asked me. "He better come soon." He said as Mrs. Cato had just entered the room holding her paper.

Dylan is my best friend and we spend enough time together that its reasonable to expect me to know where he is most of the time. In last year's year book our superlative was "cutest bromance."

"He's sick today, dude. I'm gonna text him what his part is."

"Oh right" Cameron said nodding. "I was wondering why I hadn't seen him."

"Ehhem." Mrs Cato cleared her throat from the stage and we slowly quieted down. She was a slightly older woman but still rather pretty, especially for her age. She had taught here for over 30 years and despite teaching drama, not the most popular subject at an all boys school, was generally well liked.

"Alright boys. Thanks for coming in. I'm going to read out the names of the characters and then who is going to play them. Remember, I'm not making you play this person for the rest of your life. You just have to do it in three performances." she smiled. "And also please be kind to each other. Some of you are going to have big parts, some of you are going to have small parts. Some of you will have to sing. Some of you will not have to sing. And of course, some of you will play females.." the theater filled with laughter, "and some of you will play males. That's just the the deal at an all boys school. Just because I cast you as a girl that doesn't make you any less of a man." she smiled. "Shall we get to it?"

There were mumbled yes's around the room.

"Alright!" she said with enthusiasm. "When I say your name say here. The play will be... Beauty and the Beast." There were more giggles and shared glances. This meant one of us would be playing the Beauty in Beauty And the Beast.

"So lets get started" Mrs. Cato continued. "So playing Belle... Trevor Layton."

I heard some giggles. Austin nudged me and gave me a grin.

FUCK! Why me!?!? As she called my name I instantly realized that all that stuff I was thinking about it not being that bad when I was talking to to Austin and Cameron was BS. This was terrible. This might be the worst thing to ever happen to me. Was I exagerrating? Was I being a baby? All I knew was I was much unhappier than I thought I would be.

"Trevor?" Mrs Cato repeated, "You here?"

"Oh, yeah. Here!" I said glumly.

"Ok! The Beast... Dylan Abbott"

Dylan was the beast? Was that good or bad? I guess having him play to prince I fall in love with is better than having some random kid I dont even...

"Dylan?" Mrs Cato's voice interrupted my thoughts.

"Oh he's sick! I'll tell him." I shouted up at the stage.

"Fantastic, thank you Trevor. So, Gaston... Aaron Patterson"

"Here"

I finally had to play a girl. I'd never really paid attention to what you have to do in playing a girl? Would I have to wear a dress in all the rehearsals?

"Lumiere... Drew Cotter"

"Here"

I wonder who else would be playing a girl. There was probably a little bonding and solidarity between the guys who had to play girls in each play. Kind of a we're in this together thing There had to be a few other girl parts in Beauty and the Beast. Was Lumiere a girl? Drew Cotter was a nice kid. That wouldn't be terrible.

"Cogsworth... James Ordonowitz"

"Here"

Maybe Austin or Cameron would play a girl. Most things are more fun when you do it with friends. Still, even if they do play girls I definitely have the worst most girly part, don't I?

"Mrs. Potts... Jason Spires"

"Here"

Well that was definitely a girl. Jason Spires was an ok kid. Not one of my close friends but a nice dude.

"Chip... Cameron Collins"

"Here"

I could tell from Cameron's expression that he knew that Chip was not a girl. Damn.

"LeFou... Bobby Nixon"

"Here"

What kind of a name is LeFou? Could that be a girl?

"Babette... Austin Reily"

"Here"

YES! That was a girl. Me and Austin would both have to do this. Although Austin's part was definitely not going to be as bad as mine right. Would I have to wear high heels?

"Maurice... Jonathan Sandt"

"Here"

Lucky bastard, playing someone who was clearly a boy. Would I have to wear dresses for all the rehearsals. Why couldn't I remember what usually happened in past plays?

"Madame de la Grande Bouch... Howard Pilkins"

"Here"

Oh shit! Would I have to kiss a boy? Dylan? Aaron Patterson? Did we do kissing in these plays? Why couldn't I remember that either? Am I really that upset about this?

"Monsieur D'Arque... Rick Thompkins"

"Here"

There was no chance I could convince her to change my part was there? What if I just quit? That would fix it. Could I do that? Then I'd look like an idiot who can't take a joke. Most of my friends had done it, why couldn't I. And then I'd have to do the spring play and couldn't play baseball.

"and finally, playing the silly girls..." she smiled "Sam, Liam and Charlie Josephs."

"Here" a few deep voices said over laughter.

The Josephs triplets are these who are at least 5 inches taller than everyone else and 50 pounds heavier. They're already shaving, play offensive line for the football team and the thought of them playing "the silly girls" would usually be enough to make me laugh but I was focused on my own problems right now.

"As always feel free to stay back if you have some questions about your character. Otherwise I will see you tomorrow for practice." Mrs Cato finished.

The sound of 15 13 year old boys suddenly being told they can leave school slowly took over the theater as everyone rose to their feet and grabbed their bags talking and laughing about the casting.

"Trevor has to be a princess!"

"The Josephs are the "silly girls!""

"Who's Monsieur D'Arque?"

"Ready to head home, m'lady?" Cameron asked with a grin.

Me, Cameron, Dylan and Austin all lived in the same general area and usually all walked home together.

"Uh yeah" I said spacily looking at Mrs Cato who was talking to Aaron Patterson. "You know what, why don't you too go ahead."

"I didn't mean anything by it" Cameron said the smile fading. "Just a joke dude. C'mon you should get used to it. You're gonna hear a lot of them."

I forced a smile. "No its not that. I just wanna talk to Mrs Cato."

"Oh, ok." Cameron said giving me a look. "You sure your good, Trev?"

"Yeah! Of course! Why wouldn't I be?"

"Playing a chick isn't that bad." Austin said. "I have to do it for a second time. It'll be fine."

"I'm not upset" I said. "I'll catch you guys tomorrow."

I walk up to where Mrs Cato is now talking to James Ordonowitz who is deep in conversation.

"And is Cogsworths past life," he says dramatically "did he have any family? Or was he mostly confined to the castle then too, mostly socializing with his fellow servants?"

I could tell Mrs Cato found these questions slightly stupid but appreciated James enthusiasm.

"That's really up to you James. Fill in the character however you want. Make it your own."

Maybe I should have gone with Cameron and Austin. James looked like he might take a while.

"Ok. And his relationship with the beast..." James continued as I tuned him out. What did I even want to say to Mrs Cato? What could I say?

"James, why don't you meet with me during a free period because I can tell you have a lot of thoughts and questions and I think Trevor is waiting" Mrs Cato said sweetly.

"Sure." James replied. "I might write some backstory for him."

"Go for it" Mrs Cato said, although I thought she sounded slightly sarcastic, as James left the theater.

I was the last one here.

"So what's up Trevor?" she asked.

I cleared my throat.

"So my part, um, I'm not trying to complain but, uh... why me?"

She smiled kindly.

"Are you ok with your part? I didn't think you'd mind. You always have seemed very confident and secure in yourself. I never want to force someone to play a girl if they have a real problem with it."

"No its fine, I'm just not super hyped, I guess."

She smiled again. "Thats ok. Look it comes down to this, Trevor. You've been in three plays for me since 5th grade and you've never played a girl. Most boys have played girls at this point but you haven't so its not fair to make people do it twice when you haven't done it once."

That made sense I guess.

"Besides," she continued "I need someone with a decent singing voice to be a lead. You have a good voice. And as you boys get older, certain factors dictate for me who can play a girl and who can't."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Nothing bad." she said quickly. "Just I can't cast the biggest, tallest, boys as girls because they wouldn't fit in the costumes and I can't cast the boys with the lowest voices as girls because that would sound strange and I can't cast the hairiest most developed boys as girls either. Like your friend Cameron."

I nod.

"So its nothing about you personally." she continued. "It's just the fact that you are the right size for the costumes and have a normal voice for a boy your age."

Then like she was reading my mind said "I cast the Joseph's as girls because it will be funny for the audience. Like a joke. Seeing them play women."

When I didn't say anything she smiled. "Honestly, it didn't hurt that you have very nice features. You have a very pretty face. I don't mean that as a bad thing. Girls will flock to you for that in a few years."

I smile slightly.

"Did you know that in Shakespeare's time all the female parts were played by males? Tons of boys have done this." she paused and smiled at me again. "Believe me, it wont be that bad, Trevor." Mrs Cato says. "In a year you won't even care."

Feeling slightly better I thanked Mrs. Cato and left the theater.

I whipped out my phone and texted Dylan.

Play is Beauty and the beast. U r the beast

He texted back quickly.

Damn big part what r u?

I sighed and texted back

Beauty

I got about 10 laughing emojis back.

that's actually great tho, i'd rather have to fall in love with u than any other boy in the world <3

I snorted.

thanks bro that means to world to me

I didn't want to tell my parents about my part and I especially didn't want to tell my brother or sister. I was the youngest of three and my 15 year old brother, Julian, and 17 year old sister, Abby, would definitely find the whole thing hilarious.

Julian had played a girl once too but it wasn't bad for him at all seeing as he had played the mother gorilla in Tarzan and wore the same costume all the other guys wore.

I went straight to my room and finished my homework and laid down for a second only to wake up 4 hours later by my mom.

"Trevor! You fell asleep sweety! It's dinner time."

"Can I just go to sleep" I mumbled.

"Ok fine but eat a big breakfast tomorrow" she said as she slipped out of my room and turned off the lights.

The next morning I woke up feeling a little better about the whole thing. Almost every guy at St. David's has played a girl at some point so why was I freaking out about it.

I met Dylan on the corner in front of his house like I do every morning to walk to school with him. He was already waiting for me.

"There he is!" he said smiling. "Or should I say... there she is" he said with a laugh.

"Oh dude your so funny" I said dryly as we bro hugged.

"I'm proud of you Trev! Star of the play! You ready for practice today?" he said with a goofy smile.

"Ready as I'll ever be I guess." I responded trying to smile.

When we got to school, it was clear everyone had heard about it and everyone had their own little joke. While I was eating lunch with Cameron, Austin and Dylan, tons of guys come to me and make a little joke but it wasn't any worse than the greif anyone took when people found out they were playing a main girl role in the play. Some of the jokes were more clever than others but I laughed them all off.

'Nice shirt Trevor, its BEUATIful"

"So, I heard your going to be the Belle, of the ball."

"Don't eat too much. Wanna fit into your dress, Princess."

Austin laughed after the 10th kid came up to us.

"Hey Trevor, did you know your playing Belle?" he said sarcastically.

"For real dude?" I said acting surprised.

We laughed.

"Seriously though, I don't think we've ever had someone play a princess. I think this is the more feminine part we've ever had someone play" Cameron said.

"Its a good thing we've got my most feminine friend to play her" Austin said with a grin at me. "Seriously though" he continued turning to Cameron. "I'm just glad Trevor and Dylan are finally taking their relationship to the next level. From bromance to on stage romance, just a step away from taking each other to prom."

Dylan slowly put his arm around me and I laughed.

"Oh Trev that reminds me." He put his other hand on mine. "Will you to to prom with me?"

I put on a fake girly voice.

"Oh my god... Dylannnnnn.... oh my god... of course!"

We all laughed.

"And that is why your playing the princess" Cameron said.

When play practice finally came it wasn't as bad as I thought. Mrs Cato spent most of the time going through the script and characters. We read through the beginning of the script and I started thinking this might not be so bad.

I'd never seen or read Beauty And The Beast so the whole story was new to me. It turns out that half the characters in Beauty And The Beast are servants who were turned into living objects that live in the castle. It also turns out that the characters of "silly girls" are just these girls who drool over every thing Gaston does. Mrs Cato casting the Josephs in these parts was a pretty funny move. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought. I was even starting to enjoy myself. I was in such a good mood that when Mrs Cato asked if the people playing girls would stay back for a little after we finished, I didn't even mind.

Me, Austin, Jason Spires, Howard Pilkens, and the Josephs triplets all stayed back.

"Alright boys." she said smiling at us. "First I just want to say it takes a lot of bravery to play a girl as a teenage boy and I'm proud of all of you. Second, I don't want to torment you but I do want to make sure you guys do a decent job and as you guys probably know girls wear different clothes than guys do and some of those are harder to move in." We all kind of looked around sharing goofy, slightly awkward looks.

"Who among you have played girls before?" she asked.

Austin, Howard and Sam Josephs raised their hands.

"So basically we need to get you guys used to wearing and walking in things like high heels and dresses." she paused as we all squirmed and shared looks again. "This doesn't have to be awkward or embarrassing. It can be funny or even fun. We just have to make it so that you guys can move comfortably in the costumes so you can play the characters."

She looked over us again.

"Actually Howard, you are essentially playing a cabinet so you only have to wear this giant cabinet costume and your suppose to move around in a clunky way, so you can go."

"Oh, great!" Howard said and he got his bag and left.

"Hey Mrs. C, we were thinking" Liam said "that maybe the joke could be that the silly girls all look like guys, and kind of have guyish features and traits, because we all do anyway. So maybe it makes it funnier that Gaston is trying to impress them and their so into him because they're all kind of man-like?"

Mrs Cato smiled. "Yeah that does sound funny. That was kind of what I was thinking anyway when I cast you guys in those parts."

"Right" Liam said. "So we don't have to practice wearing all the stuff either then do we?"

"Oh, I guess you're right about that. You guys can go too." Mrs Cato agreed.

This left just me, Austin and Jason.

"All right" Mrs Cato said. "So unfortunately you boys don't have an out. So what we're going to do is I'm going to show you the costumes and you guys are going to try them on make sure they generally fit, its dresses and shoes boys no getting around it, and just move around in them. Get used to them. If you could just do that for a 10-20 minutes after each practice you'd be set for when we do the show. I'm not going to make you wear them before we start doing dress rehearsals or anything but just get used to moving in them. Alright?"

"Alright," "Sure," "Yeah" we grunted at her.

"And boys, like I said, try to have fun with this. You three are in this together and its going to be what you make of it. I've had boys who make it a miserable for themselves and boys who have genuinely had fun with it. So be boys. Make jokes about each other. Goof around. Have fun. But support each other. It really is what you make of it." She smiled and she seemed pleased with her speech. It was clear that she'd given it many times before and felt this was the best way to get teenage boys to feel ok about dressing up like girls for a play in front of all their friends.

"So," she said her voice picking up, "how bout I show you the costumes?"

We followed her backstage to a room full of costumes she pulled out a few and moved them around and led us to a hook where she placed a very oddly shaped pale pink dress with bright pink trip on the hook. The dress was very puffy and stuck out like a circle around the waist. Under the book was a pair of small white heels.

"This is you Jason" she said giving a smile. "I warn you, this is a difficult dress to walk in, it might take you a little while."

"I'm so excited" Jason said flatly but flashed a smile at Mrs Cato to let her know he was joking.

"And its also very difficult to put on, so you may need assistance." she added.

She moved on the the next hook which held a very fancy looking, shiny, long black and white french maids dress. A pair of black heels sat under the hook.

"This one is you Austin." she said smiling. "Do you think you remember any of this from from My Fair Lady?"

Austin smiled back. "Doubt it Mrs C. That was two years ago and I haven't really made a habit of wearing a dress and heels."

Mrs Cato laughed. "Of course not. Well you remember what the process was like from then though. Its not that bad. You guys get a lot of down time and its fairly relaxed. You just have to get used to moving in them."

"I can't wait" Austin said sarcastically bring out another smile from Mrs Cato.

"And lastly," Mrs Cato said leading me to the last hook, I saw Jason and Austin watching as she did, "we have your dresses Trevor, yes, dresses plural."

She held up the dress in her hand. "This dress is for the beginning when your at home," it was a rather plain, blue and white dress, "and then this dress" she gestured towards the long, floor length, plain, pink dress "is for when you travels to the castle and the beginning of your time in the castle, and this dress" she opens the door the a small changing room to reveal a huge, puffy, frilly, floor length yellow dress, "is for the end. The final dance and all that good stuff."

She smiled and I heard Jason and Austin chuckling in the background. I gave a slight smile.

"Alright boys" she said with a smile. "Get changed and just walk around for 15 or 20 minutes and then your good to go. And remember, Jason and Trevor will probably need help getting into theirs. Call me when your dressed."

We all shared a look with each other.

Mrs Cato left and we all burst out laughing.

"All right" Austin said. "I guess we better get going."

Jason stripped down to his underwear and stepped into his bizarre, hour glass shaped, dress as me and Austin pulled it up and zipped up the back for him. It was a strange feeling, helping him fit into the dress.

Jason struggled to walk normally immediately after being zipped into his dress fully but tottered over to me to help me into mine as Austin stripped down to his underwear and put on his dress.

"Haha!" I laughed as Austin gave me fake girly, sexy looks. "Your so sexy dude."

"Am I?" he asked. He dropped the hanger he was holding and slowly bent down to pick it up, jokingly wiggling his but for me and Jason as we laughed. I suddenly realized I was the only one still in boy clothes.

I took of my clothes and stepped into the long pink dress dress. I took a deep breath as I stepped into the dress and Jason zipped up the back, laughing pleasantly. I turned to the mirror and laughed startled to see myself in a dress but also seeing Austin in the background, struggling to get into his and Jason teetering over to another mirror behind me. I took another deep breath and tried to smile.

"Pretty Trev!" Austin said with a smile.

We fucked around for a few minutes, goofing off and getting used to wearing the dresses before I remembered I had to try on two other dresses. I slipped on the blue and white dress easily and a few minutes later went back for the frilly yellow one.

"Uh guys, I think I might need some help with this one!"

Austin helped me into the dress and zipped up the back and gave me a pat on the back.

"There you go princess" he said with a laugh.

"Shut up" I said laughing back as I looked at myself in the mirror.

"So fancy!" Jason called from across the room. "Do a twirl!"

I laughed and jokingly twirled around as Jason and Austin laughed.

As I was twirling the door opened as Mrs. Cato came back in. "Glad to see you guys are enjoying yourselves!" she said with a kindly smile. "You never came and got me. It's not a problem though!" she said cutting off Austin's beginning of an apology. She looked around. "You all look fantastic!"

"Thanks, I think" I said as we laughed.

"Anyway I'm sure you guys are eager to change back into your clothes and get home."

"Yeah."

"For sure."

"Uh huh."

"So why don't you change back and just leave the dresses on that empty rack." she indicated a rack in the corner of the room. "We'll pick up again tomorrow but it seems like you guys got off to a good start."

"It wasn't too bad" I admitted.

"Yeah" Jason agreed, "I thought it would be way worse."

We put our normal clothes back on, and hung the dresses up. Turns out hanging dresses up is a lot harder than it seems. Jason's especially didn't seem to want to get on the hanger. Jason lives right across the street from school, so we said goodbye to him and me and Austin walked home together.

"See, told you it wouldn't kill you?" he said.

"Yeah. Like I said it wasn't that bad. Don't love the idea of doing it a bunch more times but I'll live."

"Certainly looked like you were enjoying yourself." Austin grinned and jokingly twirled around.

"Shut up, maid!" I said laughing. I realized how glad I was that I wasn't doing this alone, that Austin, and Jason too, was in this with me. Trying on a dress alone would have sucked but messing around with Austin and Jason and laughing about it after was almost fun.

"Seriously, I can't wait to see you on costume day." Austin said grinning.

"Whats costume day?" I asked.

"Its like what we just did but the Monday before the play Cato makes the main actors wear their costumes to school to work up excitement about the play. I wonder if she'll make you wear the fancy one."

"What? Since when... how could..." I started but then I saw Austin's face break out into a smile.

"Your such an idiot Trevor!" he howled with laughter. "Costume day! You actually thought that was real for a solid like 10 seconds!"

I laughed, relieved as much as I was amused. "You're actually such a dick, dude!"

"Costume day! You thought that shit was real! I love you Trev but sometimes..." he laughed more.

When we got to Austin's house we bro hugged and said goodbye.

"Later dude."

"Later man."

I headed home, in a much better mood than I ever thought I would be after trying on three dresses.

Again let me know if you'd rather see this story or my other new story "Twin Swap" get chapter two first.

At last, here's chapter 2 of "The Play!" I know a lot of you wanted this a few months ago so I hope you enjoy!. Let me know what you think with a comment!

I didn't tell my family about my role that night. I probably should have. I know putting something your worried about off doesn't help but I don't really care and I do it a lot anyway. My family also made it easy by not asking about it, instead asking Abby about a presentation she gave in her history class which somehow transitioned into a conversation on Trump.

The next morning I wasn't nearly as concerned about going to school and I didn't mind when Dylan asked me what Mrs Cato wanted last night.

"She wanted us to get start getting used to wearing dresses and heels." I said with a slightly embarrassed smile.

"Awwww Trevvvv!" he said putting an arm around me playfully. "Did you feel prettyyyyy?"

"So pretty!" I said laughing.

When I got to school I noticed a lot of people looking at me.

"Sup Trev" Cameron said, walking up to us and giving a little twirl.

I laughed. "What was that dude?"

Cameron smiled. "Just a little twirl. I saw you twirling last night."

"What?" I said confused. "How?"

"Jason Spires' story." He said. "Its not a big deal." he added quickly. "Its a funny video. You rocked that dress, dude." Seeing my face he added, "I bet no one cares. It was just a joke."

"I'm not upset." I said semi truthfully. "I just didn't know Jason posted that."

"I bet no one saw it." he said.

He was wrong. Throughout the day a bunch of people came up to me. Some people gave a little twirl like Cameron. Some said something like "looking pretty last night Trevor." Some would do something as small as holding open a door and saying "ladies first." When I finally saw Jason, before play practice, I asked him why he posted it.

"It was funny. Its not a big deal." he said smiling at me. "Don't get your panties in a bunch Trevor." he smiled. "Ok that was a cheap one. But seriously. I wasn't making fun of you. You me and Austin were all wearing dresses. It was just funny. We were messing around. That's what you have to do. You have to have fun with it. Did you watch it?"

I shook my head and whipped out his phone and showed it to me.

He was right. It just looked like a bunch of guys fucking around.I was being stupid I thought and I relaxed.

Play practice was kind of fun. We started going over some of the songs and they're actually pretty good.

Even though I'm not really a performer I like singing. I sing in the car, I sing in the shower, when I'm bored I sing in my room. I sing while playing Xbox. I sing while doing chores around the house. Sometimes I sing when I do homework. So if play practice is mostly learning songs, it could be a lot worse.

We even had fun with the dresses after. I didn't mind Jason snapchatting.

"The paparazzi's always following me." I said joking to Austin.

"That's the life of a princess, dude." he said laughing.

"Yo!" Jason said as we changed out of the dresses 15 minutes later as he picked up his phone. "I've got mad snap chats."

I smiled, slightly nervously. "Who from?"

"Dude. Girls!"

Me and Austin moved toward him quickly, still in our underwear.

"Vanessa Wallace says 'you guys are cuties!'" he read. Vanessa was one of the hottest girls at McCauley High, the nearby girls school. He pointed his phone up at me. "Trev, look at me." I held up to fingers and made a face. "Look at that dude." he said showing me the snap. "So cool. Barely dressed. Kinda skinny tho." I grinned at him as he sent it to Vanessa. I kind of liked the idea of girls getting casual snaps of me in my underwear but would never be ballsy enough to send them myself. I have a pretty decent body even if I am kinda skinny but girls don't mind I dont think. Better than being fat.

"Erica Stephens says we all look pretty. And, Trev! Ally Haines says you look hot in a dress."

"Don't fuck with me dude."

"Straight up." he said showing me his phone where I saw "Tell Trevor he looks hot in a dress" over a snap of Ally smiling.

I grinned. Ally was one of the hottest girls at McCauley and we kind of liked each other but hadn't gotten together even though she apparently liked me. I first met her when when she moved here this year because she knew my buddy Craig. Craig was trying to introduce her to some of his friends so he invited me and some other people over. She was really nice and really hot and that night she texted him after she left and asked him "who was that skinny kid with the hot jawline and the spikey brown hair?" and he said "trevor?" and she texted back "i think so" and he texted back "why" and she texted back "hes cute." Craig had screen shotted the conversation and sent it to me. So I knew she liked me. It just hadn't happened yet.

"Ohhh Trev. I think she wants to get into your panties." Austin said laughing as he grabbed me from behind, shaking me a little.

"Yo Austin, lean in." Jason said as he lifted his phone up so me and him were in the frame and Austin did. We each made a cool face and Jason sent it to Ally.

I continued changing and a few seconds later Jason laughed.

"Trevor, dude, Ally is totally into you. She just said straight up "send more pics of Trevor in his underwear" She wants you man. You wanna give her another one?"

I smiled and stopped putting on my jeans. Should I pose for a pic in my underwear for Jason to snap to Ally. Snapchats delete after a few seconds anyway. And it sounds like she was into me. I took my pants off and ran my hand through my hair to make look like I gelled it.

"Yo Jace, knock yourself out." I said, tossing my pants behind me and striking a goofy pose in only my American Eagle underwear, giving an equally giving expression.

"Fuck, stop being so hot." Jason laughed as he took it.

"You better not save that." I joked. "I don't want you jerking off to me."

He smiled. "No promises."

When I got to school the next morning Jason found me almost immediately.

"Dude!" he said excitedly. "Ally, Erica and Vanessa wanna come to play practice. Or the thing we do after play practice when we try on the dresses."

"What?" I couldn't believe it. Was wearing dresses low key a chick magnet? "Thats awesome. Wait, can they come? Would they be allowed?"

"We'd have to ask Cato, or try to sneak them in." he answered. He'd clearly had the same thought. "But I don't see why she wouldn't. We could say they're helping us. You know, like research. Being with real girls helps us play girls. I dont know. She might buy it."

"I don't know." I said. "She might think we're trying to mess around with them. Which, I mean, we are."

He smiled. "We could try to sneak them in. Let them in the back door."

"I dont know."

He put on a girly voice. "Ohhh Trevor, you look so cute in underwearrrrr. I wonder whats under it. Lemme take that off for you..."

I grinned. "Ok, ok. I guess its worth a shot."

It turned out sneaking them into school was really easy. Jason set it all up. After practice when we usually went to the room to change we snuck to the back door and let them in. We each got a hug from each of them and then led them to the backstage room at the theater. It was cool walking them to the backstage room. I felt kinda badass even though every time we saw an adult I thought they were gonna ask us why we were with girls. I talked to Ally as we walked. She was really nice and so fucking hot. Her skin was perfect and he straight brown hair was somehow shiny. She laughed a lot and her laugh was so bright and cheerful. I almost forgot what we were doing until we got to the theater. When we finally got there, there was an awkward moment where I realized that at this point we basically had to strip and put on dresses but when I looked at Austin, who was casually undressing while talking to Erica, who was laughing as Austin goofily threw his clothes behind him, I decided to just go for it.

"Get ready." I told Ally, fake dramatically taking off my t-shirt and joggers and tossing them to the side. She giggled. I gave her a fake model look and she laughed more. Jason was in the corner now, allowing Vanessa to undress him as she giggled at his costume. When he leaned in and kissed her, I started looking for Austin and Erica, who were gone suddenly. I wondered where they went for a second.

"Your so funny, Trevor." Fuck where they went. Ally thinks I'm funny.

"So you wanna see me put on the dress? Or you wanna see me like this a while longer?" I ask, trying to succeeding in getting her to laugh again.

"Lets see your dress, Princess" she said smiling.

I kind of was hoping she wouldn't want to see me in the dress. There was something cool and confident about her looking at me in my underwear. A princess dress didn't feel cool or confident. I went to the rack and noticed Austins outfit still on the rack. Who knows what they were doing? I grabbed the big yellow dress and returned to Ally.

"Ooooohhh. Pretty." she said smiling as I stepped into the dress. She helped me with the back and then stepped back and smiled. "Awwwww. Look at you."

I did a little twirl and she laughed. I liked making her laugh. I liked hearing her tease me.

"Wow. Your actually so pretty in person. I'm not just saying that to joke around. You look so pretty in that dress. But your move like such a boy."

I laughed again. "That's means so much to me." I joked as I walked toward her.

"Are those heels yours?" she asked pointing to the heels still under the rack. I hadn't put them on.

"Well their not mine but yeah, I'm going to have to wear them in the show." I smiled slightly embarrassed.

"Well I wanna see the full look." She walked over to them, picked them up and brought them over. "I wanna see the full Princess Trevor." she said laughing as she bent down to help me put on the shoes and I lifted my dress. "

"You have such dainty feet for a boy!" she said as she slipped the heels on me. "Not that its a bad thing" she added as she saw me redden. "I was just surprised you fit in those shoes. You look really pretty Trevor. I mean, you look like a boy but you look great. You're a good sport." she finished nervously smiling as she stood back up.

I smiled and put on the fake girly voice I use when messing around with Jason and Austin. "Oh my god your soooo sweet." I said and she laughed a little and moved closer. She lowered her voice.

"Its really cool when a guy feels comfortable enough with his own masculinity enough to do something like this." She started leaning toward me. Were we about to kiss? Should I be leaning too. I'd kissed girls before but never one as hot as Ally.

Suddenly the a door opened and Ally turned around as Austin and Erica emerged from the bathroom. Erica was dressed but her hair was everywhere and her lipstick was messy while Austin was only wearing underwear.

"He guys." Austin said, flashing a slightly embarrassed smile, unaware that he'd just kept me from making out with Ally. "Lookin' good Trev."

Me and Ally shared a look. "Thanks." I said forcing a grin at Austin, trying to look proud of him for getting so far so quickly.

"I better get changed." Austin said, then turning to Erica added, "you came for the maid dress didn't you."

"Nothing I want more than to see you in it." she said laughing and grabbed the hanger off the rack. "Although I doubt you can pull off your dress as well as Trevor does his."

Austin smiled. "Well not many people can pull off a dress as well as Trevor." I laughed.

"Fuck you!" I shot at him.

Austin grinned as he stepped into his dress. "Like Trevor probably looks better in most of your dresses then you do." he said smiling at Erica who laughed.

I threw a tissue box at him which he ducked.

He walked over to us, his dress now on, jokingly jutting his hips out like a model.

"So pretty." Ally laughed.

"Wow!" Erica agreed.

Austin put an arm around me and I put mine around his. "How does it feel," he asked the girls, "to know that you'll never be as pretty as either of us."

The girls laughed.

"Will anyone?" Erica asked laughing. "Wow, Austin it even looks like your wearing lipstick, from when we..." her voice trailed off.

"Oh Trevor!" Ally said averting the awkwardness. "You should put on lipstick. You'd look so cute. I'll let you use mine." She grabbed her lipstick and approached me before I could say anything. "Pucker up." she told me. I did, trying not to seem disappointed that in a few minutes I'd gone from almost locking lips with Ally, to having her applying my lipstick.

I'd never worn lipstick before but always wondered how girls got in on their lips without getting it in their mouths. It turns out they don't really. When she proudly told me she was done, I got a good taste of lipstick as I relaxed my lips. It somehow tasted good and bad. I grinned as I saw Austin laughing.

"Wow Trev. Wow." he laughed.

"Your just jealous." I grinned back.

"I'm starting to think you guys are at the wrong school." Erica said with a friendly smirk. "Maybe you guys should be with us at McCaully. You could both pull of the school skirts."

Me and Austin both started messing around with the skirts on the dresses we were wearing.

"Hold still, I'm trying to take a snap." Ally said.

I smiled and flexed my fairly thin biceps and looked at the camera while Austin made his "cool snapchat face," put an arm around me, and help up a few fingers for a pose.

"Wow." she laughed. "You're such boys."

I grinned.

"Yeah nothing says boy like flexing in a princess dress." a voice said behind me. I turned around and saw Jason grinning at me. Apparently Jason and Vanessa had finally stopped their make out session in the corner.

I laughed.

"Honestly this is like..." Ally was cut off by a knocking at the door. We hadn't told Mrs. Cato that the girls were here!

"One sec!" Austin said shouted, as the girls shuffled into the bathroom. Once they were all in he called "come in!" and Mrs. Cato entered, smiling kindly at us.

"I swear I heard a girl in here." she said, in an airy but not accusatory way.

Me and Jason looked at each other nervously but Austin responded quickly. "That's weird. It's just us. No girls in here, unless you count Trevor." He grinned at me.

She smiled."Well you guys look great!" she said happily. "Are you getting comfortable in the costumes?"

We all nodded.

"Well you guys can head home. And by the way, you don't have to do this every day. If you could just swing by once of twice a week so you stay comfortable in the costumes till we start dress rehearsals that'd be fine."

"It's fine." Austin said smiling. "I think we kind of enjoy it."

"Not the dresses." Jason jumped in as Mrs Cato smiled, "but just like the hanging out like this. Its kinda fun."

"Yeah." I agreed without having anything to add.

"Well alright then. I'll see you boys tomorrow." she said.

The girls piled out of the bathroom and we changed back into our normal clothes (Jason helped me out of my dress and I helped him out of his) and once outside Jason crossed the street and went home, the girls went one way, and me and Austin went the other.

"That was pretty sweet." I said once the girls were out of earshot.

"Yeah. It was crazy" Austin agreed. "We all hooked up in dresses. That's pretty nuts."

I was going to let him think I hooked up but there was no point in lying to Austin. "Me and Ally didn't hook up." I said. "It just kinda never happened. I think she likes me though. We probably will soon." I assured him, choosing not to tell him his interruption kept me from getting with her.

Austin looked surprised but smiled at me. "Yeah, for sure." he said confidently clapping me on the shoulder. "She's into you. She was all over you. Dude, she called you cute or hot or something like a hundred times."

I smiled. "Its not her fault I'm really cute and super hot."

He laughed. "True. You're a total hottie." he said as we approached his house. "See ya dude."

"Bye sexy" I said, winking and sticking out my tongue as he walked up the path to his house. He laughed.

Mom was in the kitchen when I got home.

"Hi sweety" she said, not looking up from her cooking. "How was school?"

"Good."

"How was play practice?"

"Good." I still hadn't told my family I was playing a princess.

"Well don't go upstairs because dinner is going to be ready in a second."

"Ok."

"CARL!" she shouted to my dad in his office across the house. "COULD YOU TELL ABBY AND JULIAN TO COME DOWN FOR DINNER!"

"Sure!" I heard my Dad shout back as I heard his footsteps go upstairs.

"Trevor, honey, could you grab the silver wear and put it out, everything else is set up." My mom asked me, still focused on her pots.

"Sure, Mom." I said grabbing five forks, knives and spoons and setting them up next to the plates. My mom followed me, setting a plate of chicken parm in the middle of the table before going back to the kitchen to get pasta and garlic bread. A few minutes later my Dad and siblings came in and we all sat down at the table.

My brother Julian grabbed started serving himself immediately. Julian is 15, so he's 2 years older than me and in high school. He's a normal guy and we get a long generally but we give each other a lot of shit. Julian is built like a fucking tank and he always fucks with me about how I'm skinny but even thought Julian is strong as hell he's slow as shit and I'm way more athletic than he is and it really kinda burns him that his baby brother is better than him at every sport he cares about so he makes up for it in skinny jokes, short jokes (although those don't work as well since I've started growing a bit), gay jokes (cuz he doesn't have as many close friends as I do so he likes saying I'm gay with mine) and jokes about my lack of body hair, even though I'd rather be not so hairy like me than be harrier than a fucking bear like he is (seriously dudes got fucking shoulder hair.)

"This looks tremendous honey!" my dad said, smiling at my mom. She smiled back.

"Why so many carbs?" My sister Abby asked. Abby and I get along ok too but she can can be kind of a drag. When we were younger she used to always do fun stuff together but now we don't have much in common and she's always calling me and my friends annoying. She's also always concerned about stupid stuff like eating carbs and what she's wearing every second of every day.

"There's no such thing as too many carbs." My dad said. "And your mother worked hard on this meal."

"Well I'm sorry that I don't want... Trevor?" she stopped and looked at me strangely. "Are you wearing lipstick?" she had a weird smile on her face. Julian dropped his fork and looked sideways at me.

Fuck! I'd totally forgotten I was still wearing the lipstick. I could feel my whole family staring at me.

"Um, am I?" I said, not sure what to say.

Julian was laughing. "Uhhhh yeah, you are. Aren't you?"

My mom squinted at me. "It does look like it honey."

Fuck! Should I tell them about the play? They were gonna find out at some point but both my siblings were gonna have a field day with this.

Julian laughed again "He obviously is. Otherwise he would have just said he wasn't."

Abby laughed too. "You know Trevor, if you wanna wear lipstick you could just ask. I've got a few shades that'll look really pretty on you. I'd be happy to lend you some."

"Why are you wearing lipstick sweety?" my mom asked delicately.

Well I guess I had to tell them now. What else could I say?

"Yeah it was just from play practice." I said trying to sound casual. "I'm just..."

"Your playing a chick, aren't you?!" Julian shouted over me, smiling from ear to ear.

"Yeah." I said. No point in lying.

He and Abby burst into laughter. My parents shared a kind of strained smile.

"That's amazing!" Julian gasped through laughter. "Is it really bad? Like is the costume really really bad?"

I hesitated for a second. "Well, you know Beauty and the Beast?" I asked.

"NO WAY!" Julian said, his face lighting up. "Are you..."

"Belle. Yeah, I am." I said as he howled in laughter again.

"Wow!" Abby said, beaming at me. "Trevor, in a play, in a dress. I'm going to get so many great pictures!"

"I might just video the whole thing!" Julian laughed. "So you've been doing that thing where you stay after school to get used to wearing the costume?" He asked, turning to me, through fit of laughter.

"Yeah." I admitted. "It hasn't really been that bad."

"Awwwwwww, you like wearing dresses Trev?"

"Fuck off."

"Don't talk that way honey." my mom pleaded.

"Wait so you have to wear like a huge princess dress?" Abby asked me, still beaming.

"I have like three dresses and..." I started but Julian interrupted me.

"Wow! I can't wait to see widdle Twevor be a Pwincess in front of everyone!" Julian
leered at me. He always called me "Twevor" when he wanted to make fun of me. It wasn't nearly a bad a diss as he thought it was. "I'm sure you'll make the prettiest little..."

"Enough Julian." My dad said giving him a look. "Most of you play a girl at some point. It happens at boys schools. I did once. In 6th grade."

"Yeah, but Trevor's in 8th grade and he's the leading lady! And a princess!" Julian laughed. "Its perfect casting honestly."

I rolled my eyes.

"I'm sure you'll do great Trevor. And like your dad says, its not a big deal." My mom said sweetly.

"Wait, Beauty and the Beast? Does that mean..." I was hoping he wouldn't bring this up "...that you have to kiss somebody?"

I glared at him and he cackled and continued. "Who do you have to kiss? Who's the beast?"

"Dylan."

"Dylan!?!" he said looking amused. "So you only have to kiss Dylan?" he seemed a bit disappointed. "So it won't be bad for you at all. It'll be like every sleepover you've ever had." He grinned.

"Well it probably is preferable to be acting opposite Dylan then someone else right." My mom said sincerely.

"I guess." I said. "But..."

Julian cut me off again. "Oh don't pretend your not hyped that you get to kiss your boyfriend in front of everyone. You even get to be the girl! This is like a dream come true for you!"

"Enough Julian!" My dad said, raising his voice now.

Julian had been making gay jokes about me, and specifically me and Dylan, since I was little so I was used to it but he didn't usually do this stuff in front of Mom and Dad.

Julian looked like he had a few more jokes he wanted to fire off but he didn't dare after my Dad raised his voice and I was glad when my Dad, in an effort to move on, slightly awkwardly asked if there were any movies out that we wanted to see.

After that I had to deal with all Abby and Julian's stupid jokes from Abby holding up one of her bras and asking "is this mine or Trevors?" when doing laundry, to Julian making kissing noises when I asked Mom and Dad if I could sleep over at Dylan's. But besides that it really wasn't that bad. Play practice was kinda fun honestly and in a way so was wearing the dresses with Austin and Jason after. The first few weeks of practice was super laid back. It was mostly just learning songs and lines and where to stand and when to move where and really basic stuff like that. There was a ton of down time. During practice people made jokes but not mean jokes, more funny, good natured jokes, and me and Dylan would mess around. That's the way the guys who play girls usually deal with it and it really wasn't bad at all. If you joke about yourself no one is gonna be weird about it so he'd jokingly say I was pretty and I'd say he was hot, or in between scenes he'd put an arm around me or I'd put my head on his shoulder we'd hold hands and everyone would think its hilarious. I was actually enjoying it. It was certainly way better than the other plays I'd had to do. And then after play practice, me, Austin and Jason would go back stage, put on the dresses and goof around even more. Sometimes we'd FaceTime the girls from McCaully, sometimes we'd bring a football and toss it around while wearing the dresses so we could get used to moving in it and sometimes we'd just chill and talk about the NFL playoffs, or girls, or people at school or teachers or just did weird shit. It was pretty chill. Me and Austin had always been close, but we got a lot closer with Jason, who I'd never really known that well, but was a really nice kid. Honestly the time kind of flew by. I was almost disappointed when Mrs Cato said that next Tuesday we'd be starting dress rehearsals so we wouldn't need to keep staying after practice.

"If you want you can stay after again on Monday." she said, "but do you guys feel ok with your costumes generally?" she asked.

We all nodded.

"Great!" she said happily. "You've all been such team players and such good sports about this whole thing. I'm really quite impressed. Just show up to rehearsal a few minutes early on Tuesday so you can get changed. Ok?"

We all nodded again and started getting changed.

"You guys wanna do it again on Monday" Jason asked with a slight smile as he climbed out of his absurdly shaped dress. "Its become kinda fun. Not wearing the dresses but ya know..." his voice trailed off. "Chilling with you guys."

"Awwwwwwwww" Austin said jokingly.

Jason laughed. "I kinda wanna do one last ride. We don't need to wear the dresses."

"You wanna hang out without wearing dresses?" Austin asked.

Jason laughed. "Or in dresses if you'd rather, dude."

I laughed. "I'm down."

"Wow. You guys are such women." He laughed. "But I'll see you women Monday I guess."

We left school and said goodbye to Jason as he headed to his place.

"I can't believe the plays almost here. " I told Austin as we walked home. "It really flew by."

He nodded. "Its been kinda fun." He said grinning. "But I'm ready to stop wearing a dress every day after school."

I laughed. "I'm not super hyped to wear it in front of everyone in practice, honestly. Like its one thing with you and Jason around but its gonna be weird in front of everyone."

He shook his head. "Don't be. Its not that bad." he looked at me and grinned suddenly. "Its nothing compared to the actual show, when everyone is staring at you." He shot him a look and he smiled. "Seriously its not a big deal. Just don't take it too seriously Trev."

"I know. I'm not." I said. "Its just awkward."

"Yeah. But all of it is awkward." He responded. "Wearing a dress for 20 minutes every day after school is awkward. You and Dylan pretending to be in love is awkward. All this shit is awkward. But if you laugh about it and make it fun and its ok."

I nodded.

Austin looked at me. "Relax bro. You always get stressed about small shit like this when you think about it but it always goes fine. Don't worry about it." He put an arm around me and clapped me on the shoulder, grinning goofily. "Worst case Trevor, people think you look dumb in a dress. Best case, they think you look good in a dress. Or maybe its the other way around" He laughed. "Either way, this whole thing isn't going to be a big deal." I laughed. "And besides" he grinned again, "you have nothing to worry about because I'm sure you'll be the prettiest princess in the history of our school."

I laughed. "Thanks, I think."

He laughed too. "Are you going to Dylan's on Sunday?" He asked as we approached his house.

I nodded.

"Nice, then I'll see you then dude." He said, clapping me on the shoulder again and then heading up the path to his house.

I walked home and found my mom and brother in the kitchen.

"How was school Trevor?" My mom asked turning to look at me.

"Good." I said.

"How was dress up?" Julian asked, a stupid look on his face.

"Fine" I said, flipping him off when my mom turned her back.

I went upstairs, threw my bag on the floor and laid down on my bed. I didn't know why I was so tired all of a sudden. I closed my eyes. I'd just rest for a second, I thought, as I drifted off.

I felt a I woke up suddenly. What time was it? My phone was vibrating softly. Was someone calling me? I lunged for it and froze when I saw who was calling.

It was Ally Haines.

Don't forget to leave a comment!

I stared at the phone for a second, letting it vibrate in my hand and then answered giving a casual "hey" as I held the phone up to my head.

"Hi Trevor, hows it going?"

"Good, good, whats up?" I said, still trying to project casualness.

"Well I was just wondering what your doing this Saturday, because if your not doing anything I thought maybe it might be fun if you came over and..."

"This Saturday? You mean tomorrow? I'm not doing anything tomorrow." I said smiling into the phone.

"Great!" She said happily. "If you could ask Austin and Jason if they want to come that'd be great. Feel free to bring another friend too if you want. See you then."

I put his phone down. She had called me. She had wanted to hang out with me on the weekend. It wasn't a date exactly but it was something.

He immediately texted Austin and Jason who both instantly texted me back.

"dude we're in!" Austin texted and I could basically see his excited grin in my head.

"fuck I cant tomorrow" Jason said going on to explain his grandparents were in town.

I texted Ally back letting her know that Austin would be there but Jason couldn't.

"thats fine" she texted back. "meet us at the food court"

Hanging out with girls after school was one thing but I was pretty stoked about the prospect of just me and Austin hanging out with the girls on the weekend.

I woke up the next morning excited. I got showered, got dressed and even gelled my hair a little. I grabbed some cereal and headed out.I met up with Austin and we headed to the mall.

"Dude, you're gonna seal the deal with Ally today, I can feel it." Austin said as we walked.

I grinned.

"You're not saying anything cuz you know I'm right."

I grinned wider.

"I'm feeling pretty good about today."

He laughed and shook me by the shoulders. "My dudes gonna get some today." he said excitedly.

When we got to the mall they weren't there yet so we got some Subway and sat down. Shortly after I'd finished my sandwich, Austin smiled and waved at someone behind me. I turned around and saw Ally, Vanessa, Erica and a girl I didn't know. I nodded at them and gave a wave. They all waved back and Ally beamed.

"Hi Trevor!" Ally said as she approached us. "Hey Austin. Hows it going guys?"

"Its good." I said, the casual lilt back in my voice. "Things are solid."

"This is Nora" she said as the girl I didn't know waved at me. "She's my friend from my old school and she's staying with me this weekend." Nora was a good looking pale girl with long straight red hair and a constant smile.

Nora smiled. "So your Trevor? I've heard so much about you." So Ally had been talking about me. "Nice to finally meet you."

"Nice to meet you too!"

"So should we get going?" Vanessa asked.

"Sure. Where?" Austin asked.

"I thought we'd just walk around the mall." Vanessa said. "Its what we do." She said smiling.

"Fine by me." he said and we headed off.

We talked as we walked around. Ally was so easy to talk to. She had such a good sense of humor and was always laughing. Every now and then we'd stop at a storefront and the girls would look in the windows but we didn't really go into any stores. Ally was wearing a pretty short skirt, especially for winter and if she bent down it inched up but not enough so I saw her panties. When we passed Forever 21 the girls magnetically moved toward it.

"We have to go in!" Erica insisted.

"Sure, I don't mind." Austin said pleasantly, so we followed the girls into Forever 21 where they looked at various dresses, skirts and tops.

"I love this red one!" Ally said spotting a short red dress on a manaquin.

I stuck with Austin in the store until Erica appeared asking his opinion on tops and dragged him off. I found Nora and Ally and hung out by a sock display as they looked at tops but when I turned around and suddenly they were gone. Everyone was gone. Where was everyone? I wandered around for a few minutes without finding anyone before Ally found me.

"What do you think of this?" Ally asked me, appearing suddenly and holding up a black dress with tiny red flowers.

"It nice." I said smiling at her.

"Is it nicer than that red one?"

"Um, they're both nice."

"Which one do you think would look better on me though?"

"Uh they'd both look great on you."

She smiled. "You're so sweet but stop being such a boy. Give me an opinion." she said with a laugh.

"Uh, I guess, the red one?" I tried. "Sorry I really think they both looked great."

She smiled as she grabbed the red one of the nearby rack. "Think of it this way, Trevor." she said her smiling broadening. "Which would you rather see me wear? Or" her smile broadened even further, "if you had to" she smiled as she extended her arms, "which would you rather wear." She held the red dress up to me.

I wasn't sure how to respond. Was she serious?

"Oh, um, I dont know, I dont really... yeah... I dont know" I said caught off guard.

"Which dress do you like more? You can try on the one I don't try on."

"Oh I'm not sure I..."

"Oh come one Trevor!" she said smiling even more somehow. "I know you know your away around a dress and pair of heels. Choose a dress for me, red or black?" She held them both up to me.

"Black." I said definitively.

"Great!" she said smiling and handing me the red dress. "So I'll try on black, you try on the red one?"

"What?"

"Oh just do it! It'll be fun. It's no worse than your princess dress. Besides, Austin is trying on skirts for Erica. It's not a big deal." She put a hand on my shoulder and smiled at me.

I thought about this for a second.

"I love it when boys are confident in themselves." she said smiling at me. "Confident enough to do something like wear a dress. Austin sure is confident enough to..."

"Ok I get it." I interrupted her, matching her smile. "I'll do it."

I followed her to the changing room where I found Nora, Vanessa and Erica all laughing at a skirt wearing Austin, who was shaking his butt and model walking around the changing area.

"Hey dude!" he said, grinning when he saw me and opening his mouth and licking his lips, faux seductively as the girls laughed.

"Damn your sexy." I told him.

"I know, right!" he said. He played with his skirt a little and then pressed his butt up against me basically twerking against me. I laughed and the girls laughed even harder.

"Love that ass!" I told him giving his butt a little slap as he shook it in my direction. He made a little noise when I did and then followed me as I headed into the changing room.

Once we were in he took off the skirt.

"Why'd you try that on anyway?" I asked him casually.

"No big deal." He said dismissively. "They asked me to. Why?"

I paused for a second. Austin didn't mean to inspire Ally to ask me to put on a dress. He was just goofing off for Erica and the others. Was there any point in telling him I was pissed? Was there any point in being pissed? It was just trying on a dress. I did this basically every day after school.

"Trevor? Whats up? Dude?" he smiled a goofy smile. "Did seeing me in the dress make you feel things? Sexual things?" he put a hand on my shoulder. "I accept you no matter what." He said, a bright smile on his face.

I laughed. "Now?" I said smiling and putting my hand on his. "I've had a crush on you for a lot longer then that." He grinned. "But actually" I continued trying to get serious, "I was just hoping I wouldn't have to put on a dress again cuz I kinda trying to at least get to first base with Ally. And wearing a dress isn't helping I think."

Austin gave me a sympathetic look. "Its not a big deal. Just be confident and make a joke of it. They love that." He pulled his pants back on and clapped me on the shoulder. "Or just don't do it. You don't have to. It's not a big deal."

"You guys gonna come out or what?" Erica called to us.

"Yeah one sec!" Austin called back.

"If Trevor's trying to put a baby in you we can wait!" Erica called back. Austin grinned.

"Yeah, hes almost finished!" he responded.

I looked at Austin. "See, isn't it kinda weird that she's making that kinda joke?" I asked him.

"It's just a joke dude." he said lightly. "We say shit like that all the time. But you don't have to do anything you don't wanna do. Fuck the dress, just say you don't want to."

I sighed. "No, I don't wanna be weird about it. I dont know." I took off my shirt. "Its different for you cuz you've already hooked up with Erica. I haven't really done anything with Ally yet."

"I don't think you putting on a dress is gonna swing it for you either way, dude."

I laughed.

"Trev, straight up, you always do this with girls. Just trust yourself. She likes you. Seeing you act like an idiot in a dress wont change that. You're cool and funny and nice and hot as fuck. If I was a girl I'd be begging for your cock."

I laughed again.

"So don't worry about the small shit. You already are the guy they think you are. You just have to be yourself." Austin said smiling as I took off my pants and stepped into the dress. "So, you ready?"

He was right. It wasn't a big deal. I smiled. "Uh could you zip me up?"

He grinned. "Of course my man." He zipped me up and then opened the door and we walked out to "Ohs" and "Ahs" from the girls.

"Trevor, you look so pretty."

"Awww look at you."

"Wow you really wear a dress well."

"Maybe Austin was putting a baby in Trevor, not the other way around." Erica said with a grin.

I laughed.

"Trevor you actually look amazing." Ally told me smiling.

I did a little twirl. "Thanks. I try."

The girls howled with laughter.

"Try this one on next!" Nora suggested holding up a lacy black dress.

I gave Austin a look. "What can I try on next?" he asked.

"Why don't you do this black and white one?" Erica said holding up a black and white checkered dress which Austin took before we headed back into the changing room.

"Thanks man." I said once we were back in the changing room and each putting on dresses. "You didn't have to do that."

"No problem." he said casually and flashing me a smile. "Better to rock a dress with your bro then on your own. See what happens when you relax and just be yourself. You make being a dude in a dress look cool." He paused. "But you know that if you don't want to you don't have to do this. Just tell her no when she asks you to try on another cuz you know she will."

I pulled the dress up. "I'm not great at saying no." I told him.

That dress led to a pale pink dress, which led to a long coral blue gown, which led to a shiny black sequined dress which led to another and another and another. The girls seemed to really like seeing me and Austin fuck around in dresses. Each dress I played off as a joke, striking joking girly poses as they took pictures and videos and accepting compliments and each time Austin joined me, cracking jokes as the girls laughed and told us how cute we were. Austin's looseness made the whole thing a lot easier and way more fun. It was this weird thing where we were acting totally gay, jokingly holding hands and hanging all over each other, but the girls were loving it. After a while I was kind of enjoying messing around and making the girls laugh.

"I can only act like this for so long." He said in the changing room after dress 7. "I honestly think its a turn on or something for them but I'm not getting any action so I'm gonna call it. This is my last dress, I gotta get home soon anyway." He smiled at me. "But you should feel free to stay and try on dresses with the girls all night."

"Fuck you." I said returning his smile and throwing the strapless black dress I had just taken off at him.

"Ok, I'm done." he told the girls when we emerged this time in matching tight, violet, strapless dresses. "As much as I love getting in touch with my inner girl I gotta bounce soon."

"We have been here a while" Erica said looking at her phone.

"You wanna come to my place for dinner Trevor?" Ally asked, looking at me and the part of me that was annoyed with her about having me parade around in a dress melted.

"Uh sure." I said smiling.

"Your so fucking in dude." Austin told me giving me an excited shake as we went back into the changing room. "Dinner! Let me know how it goes."

Me and Austin got back into our normal clothes and we headed out. There is something about wearing a dress that makes you feel really manly when you get back into guy clothes and walking through the mall I felt a surge of confidence. I put an arm around Ally and she looked back at me and smiled. Fuck yeah.

Austin headed home and we chilled in the food court as Ally called her Mom so she could come pick us up. She was frowning slightly as she walked back over to us.

"So my Mom can't pick us up for another hour. She's at my brothers hockey game. We could walk back but its really far. Could any of your parents come get us?"

"My parents are out to dinner." Erica said.

"Mine are out of town remember. Thats why I'm staying with you tonight." Vanessa said.

"I don't even live here." Nora said to laughs.

"My parents are busy with my brother and sister." I said. I had no idea if they were busy but I didn't want either of my parents to be in a car with me and four girls.

"Ok, so we could call a cab I guess. Or we could just chill here for an hour. What should we do?"

"Why don't we just stay here?" Vanessa suggested. "There are tons of places we still haven't hit up."

"Yeah, I kinda wanna stay too. I need to get some new leggings and a few bras honestly." Erica agreed.

"I'm fine either way." Nora said. "I'd love to stay."

I didn't want to stay but I didn't wanna be the only person who said we should call a cab so I shrugged. "Whatever you guys wanna do is fine." I said.

"Alright!" Ally said happily.

"We haven't gone to Vicki's." Vanessa said as we headed back into the mall.

"Where?" I asked.

"Victoria's Secret!" Ally said.

I didn't want to go to Victoria's Secret because I did not want to be coaxed into trying on panties or bra's or something along those lines but I also didn't want to be seen as humorless so I didn't say anything as we walked through the mall to Victoria's Secret.

I wouldn't say that I was comfortable in Forever 21 but that was nothing compared to how uncomfortable I was in Victoria's Secret. I was surrounded by women of various ages and women's underwear. I'd never been into a Victoria's Secret before and I honestly had no idea it came in so many types.

This time, every time Ally asked me about something I told her it would look great on her, so she wouldn't try to say "I think this would look great on you." I really didn't want to have her ask me to try on anything else but I was fine to watch her try on bra's and slinky lingerie. My heart sank though when she turned around and asked "Trevor? Have you ever worn a bra?"

"No." I said in a deep voice, trying to laugh slightly, like the idea was too absurd to ever really happen.

She held up a lacy pink bra against my chest and gave me a look.

"You wanna? I think you'd look really cute in one."

"I dont know." I said looking at her.

"C'mon." she lowered her voice and said. "I think your really cute. And I do kind of have a thing for guys in girls clothes. I don't know why. Its just so confident and hot and vulnerable and different. I don't know. Its kind of weird." She looked a little ashamed.

"We've got time to kill so just man up and put on a bra Trevor." Vanessa said from behind me, less sensitively. Vanessa had seemed kind of bored all time and was clearly disappointed that Jason couldn't make it. She seemed to think he wasn't interested in her anymore for some reason and was kind of in a bad mood. "Its not a big deal. Its funny to look at your boyish body in girlish clothes. Even you admit that. We know your a guy. So don't be a little girl about it and just do it. "

I sighed.

"Do you need any help?" A young, hot, blonde, big boobed, sales lady with pretty green eyes and a kind smile asked. Vanessa and Ally both looked at me.

"Yeah our friend Trevor here wants to buy a bra." Vanessa told her.

"He does?" she said looking surprised but smiling quickly.

"Yeah, he's a little embarrassed but he's always wanted his own bra." She said grinning.

The sales girl smiled and looked at me. "Oh that's sweet! I never would have guessed that from looking at you. You look like such a guyish guy. But we'll get you fitted and feeling pretty."

She took my hand and brought me to a room in the back as Vanessa and Ally followed.

"Take your shirt off." She said and when I did I noticed Vanessa and Ally looking at me. I heard Vanessa whisper "look at that body!" and Ally whisper, "he's so cute." I smiled a little. I wasn't jacked but I knew I looked pretty good. Soccer season gets you looking pretty cut.

My confidence vanished though, when the salesgirl ran a tape measure around my chest and started talking about training bras.

"I'm sure you want a real bra like your friends but because you're pretty skinny and don't really have much there a training bra is a more natural fit. That said, I'm sure you'd do fine in an A cup. Do yo have any colors you had in mind?" she asked.

"Trevor loves pink!" Vanessa butted in giving an evil grin.

The saleswoman smiled. "Of course he does. I have just the thing." And she left, leaving me standing shirtless in front of two of the hottest girls my age, waiting to try on a bra.

"Are you excited Trevor?" Vanessa asked me.

I thought of Austin and how he made trying on dress after dress tolerable by making a joke. I thought of how I had actually managed to enjoy wearing a dress every day after school by making it a joke.

"Soooo excited." I said sarcastically.

The salesgirl came back, holding three pink bras, two were very lacy and one had heavily padded.

"Here you go!" she said smiling broadly. "I'm sure your excited. I'll give you a second to change and show your friends. I'll come back later if you need anything."

"Do you need a hand putting it on?" Ally asked me.

"No I'll do it." I said. I had no idea if I'd be able to put on a bra myself but I sure didn't want Ally putting a bra on me.

"Well what are you waiting for?" Vanessa asked. "If you don't want help putting it on be a big girl and put it on yourself."

"Um shouldn't I go into a changing room?" I asked.

"Trevor, your already not wearing a shirt. You want privacy to put on clothes?" She said.

As she said it I realized how dumb that sounded. I shrugged.

She rolled her eyes."Well why don't you go put it on and come out and show us how it looks." Vanessa said, opening the door to a changing room. I went in, holding my shirt in one hand and the bras in the other and closed the door.

Once I was in I looked at myself in the mirror before grabbing one of the bras, the light pink, lacy one, and put it over my shoulders. I was having trouble fastening it in the back but I didn't want them to know. I writhed around about trying to fasten it and I caught myself in the mirror. What was I doing? Why was I lunging around a Victoria's Secret changing room in a bra What was keeping me from just leaving? I could just walk home. I didn't have to wear anything I didn't want to.

"Need any help?" Vanessa called.

"No!" I shouted back and I finally fastened it. I took a deep breath and opened the door.

"OH MY GOD YOU LOOK SO CUTE!!!" Vanessa almost shouted as I left the dressing room.

"You look so pretty Trevor!" Ally agreed as she adjusted the bra straps on my shoulders. "How does it feel?"

"Fine I guess." I said, not sure how to answer. "Kinda weird."

"Well you make it work!" Vanessa said giggling.

She tapped the cup of my bra jokingly a little like she was trying to make sure it wasn't a hologram.

"Hey! What are you doing?!" I asked, caught off guard.

"Oooo. She doesn't like that!" Vanessa said with a laugh to Ally. "I was just playing around. Don't be so sensitive."

I adjusted my bra and looked in the mirror. I couldn't help but laugh. The combination of my black, striped Adidas pants with the pink lacy bra was pretty funny looking and having my head on all that was even funnier.

"Can I take a pic Trevor?" Ally asked sweetly.

I turned around and remembering what Austin said about how playing it off as a joke made it less of a big deal, struck a girly pose and the girls laughed. Ally took a few pictures.

"There's the girl we know!" Vanessa said laughing as I did a little girly walk. "Seriously though its a shame you don't have boobs."

"Yeah, shame" I said sarcastically and Ally laughed. "You'll just have to deal with me like this!" I said, sliding my hands around my bra jokingly seductively.

The girls both laughed.

"I swear you should have been born a girl." Vanessa said.

I was gonna respond but then I burped really loud, and, feeling boyish again, I smiled and we all just burst out laughing.

"C'mon." Vanessa said after a we finally stopped laughing. "I wanna see you in those other bras."

"You wanna do something else instead?" I asked, trying to find a way out. Messing around and stuff was fun but I didn't want to try on bra after bra.

"Nope!" Vanessa said, patting me on the butt, opening the changing room door and motioning for me to go in with a smile.

"If we're going to go to any other stores we gotta go soon." I heard Ally tell Vanessa as she closed the door behind me.

"Where else would we go?" Vanessa asked.

"I don't know, I'm just saying."

"Don't you wanna see him in the other bras." Vanessa she whispered.

"No, I do, but if he really doesn't want to, I don't really care that much about it." Ally whispered back.

"Oh come on." Vanessa said, not whispering suddenly. "You've got a boy who's totally in to you, totally cute, and totally willing to play dress up. This is your dream boy. He's dumb, fit, pretty and wiling to dance around in a bra for you. He's literally perfect."

"No I know" Ally whispered. "And its awesome. But he's really sweet and if he really doesn't want to keep doing this maybe we should move on..."

I pressed my hear against the door.

"Oh come on, he clearly doesn't mind it." Vanessa said laughing a little. "The boys were basically doing this with each other for that play anyway. I bet he kinda enjoys it. Strutting around, getting teased by you. He just feels like he needs to protest a little so you still see him as a guy."

"I guess your probably right. I just don't want to be the reason he does stuff he doesn't want to do." Ally responded.

"Well don't kill my fun just cuz you have a guilty conscious." Vanessa said sharply.

There was an awkward pause before Vanessa laughed. "I'm kidding. Oh my god. Your face! That was priceless. Seriously though. We're having fun. He clearly gets a kick out of it otherwise he wouldn't keep doing it. Who's losing?"

"You're right." Ally said back to her.

"What's taking him so long?" Vanessa wondered and I remembered I was supposed to be changing into the other bra right as she knocked on the door.

"Trevor? You need any help?"

"No!" I called back but I was lying. Taking a bra off my own back was harder than putting one on.

"I bet he can't take the bra off." I heard Vanessa say. I froze when I heard her next sentence.

"Has he taken yours off yet?" she asked Ally.

Ally laughed and shushed her.

"I told you, we didn't do anything. We just talked and he goofed around in that dress. There wasn't really a good time." she said in an embarrassed whisper.

"Are you serious? I keep thinking you just don't wanna tell me!"

I finally manage to unhook the bra in the back and have to keep myself from shouting "YES!"

"Honestly," I hear Vanessa say "I don't know if I could hook up with him at this point." I pressed my ear against the door again. What did she mean? "Like he's really hot, like gorgeous, and really sweet and funny but like in my mind now he's dress boy now, you know? Not that you shouldn't hook up with him! You're the one who thinks that's kind of hot. And like I said, hes really sweet and a total hottie but like, I just see him a little differently now."

Shit! I should have known this was going to happen. Did Ally even see me as a guy now or as some cute little gay best friend who she could play dress up with and ask my opinion on boys she actually was interested in.

"Well Jason wore a dress too! And he did all the same stupid boy stuff when he was wearing that dress that Trevors doing now!" Ally shot back, sounding a little defensive. "How is he any less of a guy just cause he's got a sense of humor about himself? Would you rather he be all..."

I smiled and stepped away from the door. Maybe Austin was right. I started putting the next bra on. She still saw me as a guy and was still into me. That's all I needed. Once I'd got it on I paused before I opened the door again.

"No I know." Vanessa said. "I just... forget I said anything. Lets just have fun fucking around with him. You're the one who said seeing him in girls clothes was a turn on."

Before I could process this, she rapped the door again.

"C'mon Trevor! You're taking longer than I do to change and you're only putting on a bra."

I opened the door. The girls giggled, complimented and teased me, took selfies with me and instructed me on how to pose. I played along mindlessly. It was like I wasn't even there. I was thinking about what she had said. This was a turn on for her. Was this more than just messing around? Was she gonna like jerk off later to the pictures she was taking of me. Girls can't jerk off. What was I thinking? Girls can masturbate though. I wonder if girls call it jerking off too? Wait, why was everyone looking at me like that?

"Trevor?"

Vanessa, Ally, Nora, Erica and the sales girl were all looking at me strangely.

"What?" I said, trying to make it seem as if I had been listening to whatever they were just saying and wasn't just thinking about girls masturbating.

"Does that sound good to you?" Vanessa asked.

"Does what sound good to me?"

"Uch. Weren't you listening? The panty set that Natalie was talking about? The bikinis? The lacy teddy? The baby dolls? All the stuff she just mentioned?"

"Sorry, I spaced out, who's Natalie?" I asked.

The sales girl laughed and put her hand up.

"Sorry, he's a bit of a ditz." Vanessa said to the sales girl.

Natalie laughed again. "I'll go get the stuff" she said smiling. "You fill him in on the last few minutes, I guess."

"Natalie is gonna get the matching panties for those bras you tried on and she also has some great other stuff for you. Some bikinis, some sexy nightwear. It's gonna be fun."

"Uh, you realize I can't buy any of this shit. I don't have the money and I'm literally never gonna wear it again." I said, trying to stop this before it became a shopping spree.

"Oh its fine I'll pay for it." She said. "I'll just use my card. My parents let me buy basically anything I want."

"Yeah but.."

"No, its no problem. Really!"

"I know but I'm saying..." I was interrupted by Natalie who came back armed with a few pairs of panties, each pink and shaped differently, several bikinis, a few very skimpy looking nightgown like things, and several lacy things that I don't really know how to describe. They weren't even a shape I recognized.

"Wait, what is that?" I said pointing at them as the girls admired the items.

"Those are teddies but don't worry about those, yet." Vanessa said smiling at me. Just focus on the panties and the baby dolls. You're gonna look so pretty!"

"Baby dolls?" I asked.

"These sexy little slips!" she said holding the nightgown like dresses. "We'll work our way up to the teddies. You can start with anything you want but you can't try panties or bikinis on against your skin. You have to wear your underwear."

"Trust me, that won't be a problem." I said, following Natalie into the changing room.

"Let me know if you need a hand." She said kindly. "I'll be right outside with your friends." She lowered her voice. "And if there's an issues that comes up while your getting dressed that you don't want them to know about but you need a hand with that just tap on the door and I'll help you out." She lowered her voice even more and added, "I think you're really brave."

She hung the items on the door and closed it before I could fully react to whatever she was talking about.

I looked at the array of items on the door. Did they really expect me to wear panties in front of them. I decided that wearing the "baby dolls" would be better than the panties, even if they were very short and sexy. None of them would fall past my upper thigh. In fact, my boxers would be visible if I wore any of these not only because they were so short but because they were basically see through.

I decided to go with a short, light blue one. I took the bra off, with less effort this time, reluctantly took my Adidas pants off and slid the silky, sexy blue slip over my boxers. It felt odd.

I looked at myself in the mirror. I was wearing almost nothing. Apart from the very thin straps, it literally covered only the area from my nipples to like an inch below my hips. It felt like the kind of thing girls wore when they wanted to give their boyfriend or husbands a treat. My blue plaid boxers stuck out the bottom which gave me some feeling of boyishness but I felt ten times more exposed and on display then I did in any of the dresses I tried on with Austin. I wished Austin was still here now. Then the attention wouldn't be all focused on me. I ran my hand through my hair, sighed, and turned toward the door.

Slowly I opened the door and the reactions of the girls washed over me.

"Oh my GOD!"

"Look at you!"

"Trevor!"

"So sexy!"

"This is the Chantilly Lace Baby Doll." Natalie said smiling. "Its new!"

I continued out, stopping in front of the mirror in the changing area but outside the changing room and Ally came up behind me and put her arms around me from behind.

"You really look amazing. You're such a good sport about all this." She said sweetly.

"You are!" Vanessa agreed who had come up from behind without me noticing. "I just wish you didn't have to wear those boxers."

"I think he looks cute with the boxers." Ally said, putting her head on my almost bare shoulder.

"He does but he'd look better if he didn't have to wear them. Especially with his boyish legs. Cuz his legs aren't so hairy its gross but they're hairy enough so that he looks like a boy. So that combined with the boxers sticking out... its just a bit manish."

"If you buy a pair of panties he could wear those." Natalie suggested and before I could protest Vanessa had grabbed a pair of panties from the changing room and left the changing area to purchase them for me.

I was going to say something about it but I liked how Ally had her head on my shoulder, even if I was dressed like a girl trying to seduce her boyfriend, so I didn't ruin the moment my complaining.

A few minutes later Vanessa returned with a pair of lacy pink panties and proudly presented them to me.

"Trevor, these are now your panties!" She said happily as the girls giggled and jokingly congratulated me.

"Congrats Trevor!"

"I'm sure this is a big day for you!"

"You're a big girl now!"

I laughed but this was starting to get out of hand. I headed back into my changing room, panties in hand to try on the next baby doll, this time, in panties.

I felt stupid in the panties. They were pink and lacy and while they fit they also showed off a lot of my butt. I turned around and looked back at my ass in the mirror. They literally made me look like a girl from behind.

I put on the next baby doll, a sexy, sheer, pink one that was so short it left my panties semi visible. I hated this but I decided the other one, a white one that was basically see through entirely besides the nipples, would be even worse.

I stepped out of the changing room to the same reactions.

"So pretty!"

"Look at that sexy girl!"

"Do a twirl!"

I did a twirl reluctantly laughing as the girls jokingly catcalled at me.

"The panties look amazing!" Vanessa said looking at my ass. I felt like I was basically naked. "You actually look like a girl from behind. A cheeky panty is perfect for you! Like your butt is totally hairless and pretty. You don't really have any body hair besides your legs and armpits. I love it."

"I might just buy you all of them!" Vanessa said when I came out wearing the next one, the nearly see through white one that made me look like a slutty bride. "Look at those long legs! So sexy! They may be a bit hairy but they're working it! Can't wait to see how they look in a bikini or teddy."

After the usual selfies and photos and videos and poses and jokes I found myself back in the changing room looking at the "teddies" which were very exposing and I'd never seen before but I knew now after looking it up on my phone were, according to wikipedia "garments which covers the torso and crotch in the one garment," or the bikinis which I had seen before and covered literally almost nothing.

I thought of the beach, where over the summer me and my friends would sometimes go to hang out and how we looked at girls in bikinis, their boobs bursting from the tops, their butts bouncing and I looked at the teddies weird shape which while very sheer kind of looked like the leotards my sister used to wear when she still did gymnastics. I sighed and grabbed the teddy. Who cares if its lingerie, its better then the bikini.

All of the teddies were a light shade of pink but the one I grabbed was particularly skimpy and so I decided to go with one that at least had real shoulder straps and not, as my sister called them "spaghetti straps." It was fairly easy to put on. I stepped into it and pulled on the shoulders. It fit very tightly and once I had it on I immediately knew why the store made people keep their underwear on when trying it on. It really rode up on you. Tight.

I looked in the mirror. I looked basically naked. I mean I was naked a part from this tiny lacy, pale pink thing. And the panties of course. The panties were completely visible. The majority of my ass was visible. And even worse, the outline of my dick was extremely visible.

I played around with it for a bit, adjusting it. At one point I even thought about tucking it between my legs before thinking the only thing worse than going out there and having them see the outline of my dick would be going out there and having them see that me with what appears to be no dick.

I sighed and adjusted it one last time, so my balls and dick weren't too uncomfortable but also weren't just hanging out there and forced a laugh. Its just a joke I reminded myself but I heard Austin's voice in my head.

"Just don't do it. You don't have to. It's not a big deal." I felt like I had to do this. I felt like it was a big deal. Was I being stupid? Did it just feel worse cuz I was doing it alone now and some hot girl who works at Victoria's Secret thinks I'm brave?

I pushed those thoughts out of my head and opened the door.

I another round of exclamations.

"Oh my god!"

"Ahhhhhhh!"

"So sexy."

"More than sexy! Slutty!"

"So thats the Floral Lace & Dot Mesh Teddy." Natalie told us. "Its a new design."

Vanessa was beaming. Ally grabbed me and started taking selfies and posing with me. Erica was laughing so hard she had tears in her eyes. Nora was crouching down with laughter. If everyone's having fun why not have fun with it.

As I had over and over again that day, I posed jokingly, strutted around, stuck my butt out, touched my boobs, put on a girly voice, did everything. The girls ate it up. They were laughing and I was laughing and I just kinda went with it like I would Austin and Jason, even if it felt a little more awkward.

There was a teen boy waiting for his girlfriend in the changing area who wasn't there earlier, and when he started staring at me.

"What are you looking at bro?" I called and the girls laughed.

"I bet he wants to fuck you." Vanessa said to me and Ally nudged her and told her to shut up. "Now c'mon. You've got like 3 more teddies to try on. And bikinis!"

I groaned. It was getting to be a lot. And repetitive. Austin had told them he had to go and that had just ended it. What was keeping me from doing the same thing. I could just tell them I was done.

Before I needed to Ally thankfully got a text from her Mom saying she'd be at the mall to pick us up in five minutes.

"Oh but there was so much stuff Trevor still hadn't tried on!" Vanessa said sounding disappointed.

"Bummer." I said dryly, and the girls all laughed, besides Vanessa.

"Wait! Why don't I just buy them all for you and you can return what you don't want?"

"You really don't have to do that. Like I don't want you to do that." I said.

"I think its fine Vanessa." Erica said.

"No its no problem. And if Trevor's coming over for dinner then he could try them on at your place!"

"No I don't..." I started

"I don't think Trevor wants to..." Ally said at the same time.

"Its fine! I'm doing it. It'll be fun!" Vanessa said, and she grabbed all the stuff from the changing room and left the changing area.

"Is she serious?" I asked Ally.

Ally shared a weird look with Erica."Yeah, she's in kind of a bad mood, I don't know why. It'll be fine though. You don't have to do anything you don't have to do." Ally said. "Why don't you get changed." she said grinning as she looked down at my bare legs.

"Yeah" I said grinning. "Don't wanna that dude over there any ideas."

She laughed. "Hey, you two would make a cute couple."

I loved hearing her laugh. It made me feel confident.

She looked at me. "You look cute and all but I like boxers Trevor more than panties Trevor." she said smiling.

I grinned. "Good. Boxers Trevor appreciates it." I said, smiling as headed back to the changing room.

Don't forget to leave a comment!

Leaving the Victoria's Secret in my boy clothes made me feel even more confident. Somehow I felt more manly now. Hearing that Ally liked me more in boxers than in panties had me feeling better about the whole weird day. Austin was right. We were just messing around. Why'd did I take it so seriously?

Ally waited for me in the changing area and we met the other girls outside the store where Erica and Nora were each holding a pink Victoria's Secret shopping bags while Vanessa was holding four. She handed me two.

"Its your stuff." she said kind of coldly for someone who had just bought someone else multiple items of clothing they didn't want.

Walking through the mall I realized that some people probably thought I was holding the stuff for the girls and that I had spent the afternoon hanging with four hot girls and had just seen them try on all kinds of sexy Victoria's Secret products. I smiled at the thought.

Or maybe they thought I was their gay best friend. Maybe that was closer to what I actually did.

I pushed that thought out of my mind. Ally had basically told me she liked me. Did she want to hook up tonight? Maybe we'd hook up at her house.

Ally's mom had her minivan parked in front of the mall.

"Ohhhh you girls are growing up" She said when she saw the bags. "Victoria's Secret! Looks like you had fun though!" she said to her daughter.

"Yeah we did. By the way, Mom, this is Trevor, the boy I told you about." Ally said introducing us.

Her mom smiled and greeted me. "Of course, hi Trevor, nice to meet you. Wasn't there another boy too?"

"Trevor's friend had to go." Ally told her.

"Oh that's a shame. Probably for the best honestly as I've already got your brother in the car so its going to be a full car but we can fit everyone! Three in the very back, two in the middle back. By the way honey" she said looking at me "its so sweet of you to hold their stuff. Here, you can put it in the back." she said opening the trunk.

"That's not our stuff Mrs Haines. It's Trevor's." Vanessa said smiling. "Trevor got way more at Victoria Secret than any of us did."

I heard laughter from inside the car but Ally's mom didn't hear her as she closed the trunk.

I followed Ally in. The girls had sat in the very back so I sat behind the drivers seat while Ally sat behind the passenger.

"This is my brother, Jackson." she said gesturing at the teenage boy a few years older then me in the passenger seat. He was broad shouldered and good looking and was wearing a Lacrosse sweat shirt. "Jackson, this is my friend Trevor."

"Hey man." He said looking back at me and nodding. Then after a pause he said, "So...I hear you shop at Victoria's Secret." He gave a dumb grin.

I forced a laugh, unsure of what to say, and Ally kicked his seat.

"Alright girls, and Jackson, buckle up!" she said as she reentered the car. "And Trevor." she added as the girls giggled. "Girls, Jackson and Trevor."

"So Trevor, you go to Corrigan?" Ally's Mom asked me.

"Yeah." I said.

Jackson looked back at me.

"All boys school, huh?" he asked.

"Yeah." I said.

"You like that?" He gave me a grin.

"It's fine."

"Oh stop it, Jackson!" Ally said suddenly.

"I'm asking him if he likes his school!" Jackson said defensively. "

"Your actually the worst." She shot back.

I was used to jokes about going to an all boys school and obviously it'd be nice to have some girls around but I'd gone to Corrigan since I was little so I was used to it and I didn't mind it or care about the jokes.

"Stop it you two." Ally's mom said sharply. "So Trevor," she said in a much softer voice. "Do you play any sports?"

"Yeah." I said, deciding it was better to ignore the shit Jackson was giving me then give him shit back. "Soccer and baseball."

"I hate soccer." Jackson said looking back at me. "All the soccer kids at my school are douches. The whole sport just kind of rubs me the wrong way."

"Trevor's actually really good. He's captain of the Soccer team." Ally said to her mom, ignoring him and smiling at me.

"And the baseball team too." I added.

"Wow! A real jock! Jackson plays baseball too!" His mom said.

"Hockey's my main sport though." He told me. "You skate?"

"No."

"Figures."

His mom laughed. "Don't be rude, Jackson." she chided before moving on the ask Erica how her parents were. We arrived at Ally's house about 15 minutes later.

"Don't forget your stuff in the back girls. Don't make poor Trevor carry it all for you." she said to the back of the car.

"Most of it isn't ours, Mrs. Haines. Its Trevor's." Vanessa said in a bratty way that made me want to punch her.

"Trevors?" She, hearing it this time, gave a puzzled look. "The Victoria's Secret stuff?"

"Yeah. Its Trevor's." Vanessa repeated.

Ally's Mom turned around and looked at me.

"He looks so pretty in it." Vanessa added unnessarily.

There was a pause while Ally's mom processed this. I didn't know what to say. Vanessa was acting so strangely. Jackson was almost shaking with silent laughter. Ally looked like she wanted to murder Vanessa.

"Well that's neat." Ally's mom said finally. "I think thats great actually. I would never have thought you would be the type of..." her voice trailed off "I support gay rights and trans rights and all of it."

I blushed. "I'm... I'm not gay or trans. I just..."

"No I really do." She insisted. "I think anyone should be able to..."

I interrupted, "I'm really not gay or trans though its just..."

"A joke!" Ally finished for me. "We were joking around. Its not a big deal."

"Yeah." I agreed.

"Ok" Her mom said. "But I do support gay righ..."

"Ok we get it Mom." Ally said as she got out of the car. I followed her before remembering I had to get the bags from the back of the car. I walked around the the back of the car and found Jackson opening the trunk. The lights of the car turned on and I saw his hockey bag surrounded by the six Victoria's Secret bags. The contrast was almost funny.

He picked up one of the Victoria's Secret bags. "Yours?" He asked me.

I took it from him. He looked at the other bags.

"What'd ya get?" He put his hand in one of the bags and pulled out the pair of lacy pink panties I had worn when trying on the baby dolls earlier. He smirked as he held them up.

"Pretty." He said with a sneer.

"Look man, I don't know what your problem with me is, but if you..." I started but he cut me off.

"I don't have a problem with you." He interrupted smiling a little. "I just think its funny. Here I thought you were some Corrigan soccer douche who wanted to get in my sisters pants when really your just a little fairy who wants to try on panties with her."

This caught me off guard so much I laughed a little. I didn't notice him continue to go through the Victoria's Secret bag until he pulled out the teddy.

"Wow." He said holding the pink teddy up. "Some dudes at Corrigan actually wanna see you in this?"

I mastered the instinct to take a swing at him and shot him a glare and shook my head. Getting into a fistfight with Ally's brother in her driveway would not be a great look and it would almost certainly get me uninvited from dinner at her house and kill my chances of hooking up with her tonight.

"I bet you're a hit in the gay ass Corrigan locker room, aren't you. Cute little faggy ass, Corrigan, soccer douche. Dancing around in panties for the boys."

I couldn't keep myself from laughing at his weird attempt to intimidate me so I put my hand over my mouth. He didn't seem to notice.

"What else did you buy?" he looked down at the bag.

"Dude, its cold out. We really don't need to go through all the shit Vanessa bought." I said impatiently.

"Ok. Ok. Keep your tampon in." He said handing me the bag.

He looked back at the trunk and picked up his hockey bag. "This is mine." he said throwing it over his shoulder, "and this, and this, and this, and this, and this" he said handing me all the Victoria's Secret bags, "are yours."

He smiled at the sight of me, with three bags in each hand, because Erica and Nora hadn't gotten their stuff out of the trunk. "Damn. How much lingerie does one boy need?" he said with a laugh.

I bit back the impulse to tell him to fuck off and followed him up up the path and through their front door. I got into the house set the bags down on a table near the door. It was a nice house, a little larger and fancier than mine, and a little more old fashioned.

I followed Jackson into the dining room which was a large, warmly lit, room with a giant wooden table, where his mom was setting up plates and silverware.

"The girls went upstairs, Trevor." She told me. "Jackson can you show him Ally's room. Although dinner will be ready in a second. Your father made those meatballs you like. Why don't you guys just stay down here."

"You need any help?" I asked.

She smiled. "Oh your so sweet but no I just finished." She raised her voice and turned shouted "GIRLS! DINNER!" and the shortly after the sound of footsteps came down the the stairs and Ally, Vanessa, Erica, and Nora entered the room.

"You're stuff is by the door." I told Erica and Nora.

"Oh, my bad. Thanks for bringing it in." Erica said.

"Watch out, its hot!" a man shouted, as he walked in carrying a steaming bowl and set it on the table. He was tall, grey haired, and handsome and looked a lot like a kinder, older, Jackson. He smiled brightly. "Shall we eat?"

"Tim, have you met Trevor?" Ally's Mom asked.

"Trevor?" He said, squinting in confusion.

"This is Trevor." She said gesturing at me. "Ally's friend. That's a boy. Remember."

"Of course, of course." He said stepping toward me and shaking my hand warmly. "Nice to meet you Trevor. I've heard very little about you but its been all good things." I laughed and he looked at Ally who blushed a little.

"Did you know Trevor likes wearing women's clothing?" Jackson asked and I saw Ally give him a horrified look and Erica's mouth drop open.

Ally's dad looked surprised but he regained his composure quickly. "Well a boys got to have a hobby, right?" He laughed. "I'm more into the guitar myself."

I laughed and saw Ally relax a little.

"I'm don't actually like, you know, crossdressing. I just have to for a play for school." I said lightly.

"All boys school?" he asked knowingly.

I nodded and he smiled.

"I went to all boys school myself until sixth grade. You know I..."

"Can't we talk over dinner" Ally's mom interrupted, patting her husband on the arm.

"Of course!" he said happily and we all sat down. I sat in the corner next to Ally and across from Jackson, with Mr. Haines at the head of the table. "Lets eat." he said happily.

The spaghetti and meatballs were quite good and Ally's dad seemed intent on making conversation with me.

"So you go to all boys school. Do you go to Corrigan or Turner?"

"Corrigan."

"My nephew goes to there. Do you know Blake Edwards?"

"Oh yeah. Blakes on the baseball team with me. He plays center field." I said. Blake was a 7th grader. He was small but really fast. "He's a nice kid."

"You're on the baseball team?"

"Trevor's the captain of the baseball team." Ally said, smiling at me.

"I went to one of Blake's games last year. Against Marymont." Her dad said. "So I guess I saw you."

I laughed. "I pitched that game!"

"Oh that's so funny!" Ally's mom said from the other end of the table.

"I used to play baseball my self." He said happily. "Catcher. Won the league championship 3 years in a row. Went on to win states twice."

"Wow, that's cool."

"Yeah, I've always wanted Jackson to get into baseball."

"I play baseball." Jackson said, sounding annoyed.

His father smiled at him. "No, I know but you love hockey. That's your main sport. And that's ok. By the way how was your game?"

"We lost."

"Ah, I'm sorry. Score?"

"No."

He redirected the conversation to his HS baseball career again and we talked about that for a while. I could tell from how he spoke that he was really into it in high school. He asked me what pitches I threw and where I played besides pitcher and I actually started to really enjoy it. Sure, I was talking more to Ally's dad than Ally but Ally seemed happy to talk to Nora who was on her other side.

When dinner was over we helped Ally's parents clean up and after we were done, Ally's dad patted me on the back.

"Well Trevor" he said brightly, "it was truly nice to meet you. I need to get to sleep, I have to catch a flight to Chicago tomorrow morning. And I'm sure you'd rather spend your night with Ally then me."

I smiled back. "Nice to meet you too, Sir."

He laughed. "Call me Tim. It's not the 1970s!"

I laughed.

"Wanna go upstairs, Trevor?" Ally asked from behind. I turned around.

"Good meeting you Tim!" I said waving at him as I followed Ally to the stairs.

Jackson and the other girls had already left the dining room-kitchen area.

"Wow." Ally said as we headed upstairs. "My dad LOVED you."

I laughed. "I'm very cool that way." I said grinning.

She led me into her room which was very large, painted pink, and perfectly neat and organized in a way that my room could never be. The bedspread matched the walls which matched the bed frame which matched the carpet. Nora, Erica, and Vanessa were each stretched out on the floor with sleeping bags and still everything seemed to be in its perfect place.

"So is he sleeping over?" Erica said when we entered.

"Oh! I forget to ask!" Ally said rolling her eyes with frustration. "I'll be right back." She left but poked her head back in a second later. "You can sleepover right?" She asked me.

I paused. Obviously I'd be insane not to want to sleepover with this incredibly hot girl who was into me just because she had me wear a couple bras, right?

"Yeah." I said smiling at her. "Of course."

She returned a few minutes later. "My parents want to talk to you. I think they're going to let you though!"

I followed her out and back downstairs to the living room.

"Just give me a minute with Trevor alone." Ally's dad told her.

Ally left and I heard her go back upstairs.

"So Ally wants you to sleepover and that's fine with me. I know what its like to be young. You're a good looking kid. She's a good looking girl. I'm not a dictator. I'm not trying to rule her or you with an iron fist. I like you Trevor. You seem like a nice kid. You've got a good head on your shoulders. You seem to like Ally. So I'm just going to tell you this." I held my breath, hoping whatever he said didn't make it harder for me to get with Ally.

"Don't give me a reason not to like you. You understand?"

I nodded and he continued.

"So don't try to do things that 13 year olds should;nt be doing, ok?"

I nodded again. "Yeah, of course."

"You're young. She's young. I know how it is. But you're both too young for," he looked at me and gave me a look that said sex without saying the word "you know... Ok?" He looked up at me.

"Yeah, yeah of course. No I wasn't... yeah... thats cool with me." I said, surprised he thought that was even a possablity.

"Great then!" He said, his energy back up. "Have a good night then kid. I don't know how you managed your way into a girls sleepover but well done I guess?"

I laughed. "I honestly don't know either. Its kinda crazy."

"Alright, have a good night kid. If I know my daughter and her friends and they're sleepovers you'll have pink nails by the morning but I'm sure you'll have a good time. That's how girls are. Tell Ally to come down to say good night to me. I doubt I'll have time to see her tomorrow morning before I leave."

I heard them talking about me as I left.

"I like him, he seems like a good kid." Her Dad said.

"He's really sweet. She could be hanging out with a lot worse." Her Mom said.

I smiled and I went back upstairs feeling pretty good. I didn't know what I was expecting but I was excited. I certainly wasn't expecting what I saw when I got to Ally's room.

The girls were all still on the floor, lounging or sitting cross legged, but now they were each wearing fairly sexy nightgowns.

"Whoah!" I said, stunned and they all laughed.

"C'mon," Vanessa said with a jokey lilt, giving me a look "get yours on. Girls only."

I rolled my eyes and the girls laughed. I shook my head and sat down next to Ally. "Your dad wants you to say good night or something." I told her.

She popped up and left and Vanessa turned to me at me.

"Seriously, though all jokes aside, this is a girls night. So I'd feel a lot more comfortable, as a girl, if you changed into something more appropriate for a girls sleepover." She said, sounding less jokey. "It takes the edge off all your toxic manliness."

"What..why...what do you even mean by that?" I asked, confused.

"I mean right now you're a normal dumb gross boy. Toss on a bra and panties and you're sweet, girly and less dumb." She smiled as if she was complimenting me. Erica laughed a little.

I looked at Erica. "No comment." she said and went back to going through Ally's jewelry box.

"It's a girls sleepover," Vanessa insisted. "C'mon, just do it! You're barely a guy anyway. Don't be such a vagina."

"Why are you always trying to make me dress as a girl?" I asked her.

"Look, its not my fault you look pretty in pink. Besides isn't it kind of awkward, you in your boy clothes and us like this?" She asked.

"Wouldn't it be kind of awkward to have me dressed like you girl?" I asked.

"No honestly, I think it suits you." She said.

Ally came back in and Vanessa looked at her.

"Trevor doesn't want to get changed." she said like she was tattling.

Ally rolled her eyes at her and looked at me. "Don't harass him about it."

Vanessa looked betrayed. "Come on. Don't you want him to do it?" She said.

I looked at Ally and she smiled. "You don't have to do anything you don't want to." She told me, smiling at the ground. "But..it would be kinda fun if you did though. Try on the stuff. I mean you do have all that stuff. And we are all also wearing revealing slips. And I do think you look cute like that. And its just clothing."

I sighed. "Maybe I should just give you all some girl time tonight."

"C'mon, stay. Its not a big deal. We can still have fun. Besides, you have to wear a bunch of girly stuff for the play anyway. It'll be good practice. Help you bring out your inner girl." Ally smiled. "You didn't bring a sleeping bag or anything right?"

"No."

"Well, I'm not sure how my mom would feel about a having a jockish baseball star like "boxers Trevor" sleep in my bed. But I bet she wouldn't mind if I let sweet little "panties Trevor" crawl in bed with me."

I grinned.

"Fine." I said rolling my eyes. "It's not that big a deal I guess."

"So what's it gonna be?" Vanessa asked kind of nastily.

"I'll do it." I mumbled. "I'll go get the stuff."

"No need." Nora said brightly pulling out the four Victoria Secret bags from behind the bed. "You brought our bra's in from the car. We brought yours upstairs."

I laughed at how odd it was to hear her refer to my bras.

"I'll... uh... change in the bathroom." I said grabbing the sheer pink baby doll that I remembered Natalie calling the "Dream Angles Lace Babydoll"and heading toward the bathroom.

"Don't forget these!" Vanessa said, holding up the pair of panties that Jackson had dangled in front of me a few hours ago. I shut the door and stripped off my clothes. Why did I let myself get roped into this. For sleeping next to Ally? Would that be worth it?

I looked at myself in the bathroom mirror. I looked kind of pretty, certainly dainty. My torso looked feminine in the baby doll but my legs, while not grossly hairy like Julians, were hairy enough to look a little out of place and reassuringly boyish.

I walked out of the bathroom and realized that my baby doll slip was way skimpier than anything the girls were wearing. My slip didn't even hang past the bottom of my panties, which were fully visible through the slip, and so was my entire stomach. The girls reacted as they had all day.

"Awwww, you look so sweet."

"Little miss sexy over here."

"Should I call Jackson?"

I blushed at the thought of Jackson seeing me like this. "I'd actually kill you." I said to Erica jokingly.

"See you look great." Vanessa said. "Much better, much more appropriate than before."

I sat down next to Ally, crossed my legs and then, realizing that doing so made me somehow more exposed, crossed my arms so that most of my body was blocked by my arms.

"Awww, feeling shy Trevor?" Vanessa asked.

"You'd feel a bit shy too if you were basically naked." I shot at her.

"I think you look hot." she looked me up and down. "Although your legs could use some work."

Ally put her head on my shoulder. "I think your hairy legs are cute."

I smiled. "So what do we do now?"

Vanessa smiled too. "Well, usually just talk mostly. Makeovers, truth or dare maybe. Just have fun. Have some girl time. Talk about about boys." She looked at me and smiled. "Real boys."

"Here, I'll do your nails!" Ally said smiling. "Pink? Purple? Red?"

"I don't care." I told her and I was reminded of what her Dad had said when she told me to put out my hand and started painting my nails hot pink.

"Well let's start with you Trevor." Venessa said smiling. "Since your so curious about what we do, why don't I ask you first Trevor. Are there any cute boys at Corrigan that you're into?"

I smirked. "No."

"Don't you have to kiss Dylan for the play?" Erica asked curiously.

I nodded.

"That's gotta be awkward." She said sympathetically.

"Yeah. I haven't really thought about it that much though. It's not like we need to make out or anything. I think its just like a small kiss or something like that." I said. I hadn't thought about kissing Dylan much. Every time we got to that part of rehearsals Mrs Cato would just say "And then the kiss" and we'd move on.

"I can't wait to see it." Vanessa said. She looked at me. "Your going to be an amazing princess. Honestly, you already are, basically. I can see why they cast you as Belle." She laughed and turned to the girls. "Truth or dare?" she asked.

We played truth or dare a while. Vanessa basically dictated all the truths and dares and the girls only ever chose truth which meant most of the questions were about boys. After about 30 minutes I was an expert on each of their romantic histories.

My questions were mostly about the various girly outfits I'd worn and generally just seemed like Vanessa trying to get me to say I liked dressing like a girl while Ally and the others giggled.

Eventually the girls seemed to get as bored with this as I was and Ally suggested they do makeovers.

"Yeah! Who should go first?" Erica asked.

All four girls instantly looked at me.

I rolled my eyes and shrugged.

Next thing I knew all four girls were working on me, applying foundation, concealer, blush, eye shadow, mascara and a thousand other types of make up I'd never heard of. Nora painted my toe nails to match my pink finger nails.

"Trevor is gonna actually look so pretty when we're done with her." Vanessa said excitedly.

"More like Trevorina!" Erica said with a laugh as she finished combing the knots out of an old wig they found in Ally's closet and carefully placed it on my head.

"Oh my god you look amazing! You totally look like a girl!" Ally squeeled. Now, Trevorina, pucker up!" Ally instructed, holding a tube of lipstick.

I did and she started applying it to my lips as the other girls giggled and admired her work. Suddenly the door opened and we all spun our heads to see Ally's mom poke her head in.

"Hey!" She started. "I just thought I'd... oh my... um... wow..." she said once her eyes saw me, fully made up and wearing a baby doll and a wig. "Trevor... you look... very pretty. You... you make a lovely young lady. Um... I was just wondering if you uh girls wanted some snacks." She emphasized the world girls oddly as if you was trying to make a point.

Ally shook her head. "No thanks mom."

"You really do make a lovely young lady, Trevor." Her Mom said again, kindly but somewhat awkwardly.

"Uh thanks." I said trying to sound masculine but appreciative.

Ally's Mom told us she was going off to bed and left, and Ally got back to my lipstick. When she finished she led me to the bathroom to show me the results of all the make up and effort.

I couldn't believe what I saw. I actually looked like a girl.

"Don't you look pretty?"

"Yeah." I laughed a little. "This is fucking crazy."

"Have your nails dried yet?" Vanessa asked.

"Yeah."

"Great. Then try on the rest of your stuff." She said bossily handing me the Victoria Secret bag.

I looked at Ally who smiled at me. "C'mon, its no big deal. Its just us." She patted me on my exposed shoulder. "Besides, you look amazing. Here I'll give you some privacy."

She left the bathroom, closing the door behind her.

I looked at the two remaining teddies I hadn't yet tried on the the four bikinis, I hadn't tried on at all. Which should I go for?

"Lets see Trevorina in a bikini this time!" Vanessa shouted through the door as if she heard my thought. I sighed. I grabbed a light pink fairly standard looking bikini. The others weren't pink but they were all more elaborately designed which felt more feminine somehow.

I stepped into the bikini bottom and after a little effort managed to get the top on too. I looked at myself in the mirror again. My bulge and lack of boobs made me not look exactly like a girl, the way i did in the teddy, but i still looked basically like a girl. There was something about a bikini top that felt even girlier than a bra. I caught a glimpse of my ass in the mirror as I turned around and couldn't help but think it looked kinda good. If I saw myself as a girl on the beach in a bikini would I hit on myself?

I chased this wildly weird thought out of my head, adjusted the top and walked out.

"Oh my god!"

I jokingly strutted around as the girls laughed.

"Damn girl!"

"Look at that ass!"

"He's, I mean she's ready for the beach."

"The boys would love her."

"We gotta take you to the beach like this some time."

I laughed "Fuck no."

Ally, Nora, and Erica laughed too.

"Um, Trevor. Would you mind picking up that bottle of nail polish?" Ally asked, pointing at a bottle of nail polish right in front of her, grinning oddly.

"That one there?" I said, a little confused.

Her grin widened. "Yeah just bend over, and pick it up."

I laughed, realizing what she was doing. "So you want me to bend over right in front of you and pick up that bottle of nail polish?"

She giggled and nodded.

I playfully strutted over, gave the girls a faux sexy look, bent over slowly as they all laughed, and picked up the bottle, my bikini clad ass right in front of them.

"How was that?" I laughed, handing Ally the bottle.

"Sexy." She said smiling and grabbing my butt.

"Alright lesbos. Save it for when your alone" Vanessa said. She turned to me. "C'mon I wanna see Trevor rock that floral one."

I spent the rest of the night trying on various Victoria's Secret products, jokingly strutting around as the girls made each other up and commented and laughed at my various wardrobe changes, then changing into the next outfit and doing it over and over and over again.

"Can I stop now?" I asked finally.

I was wearing a red, lacy bra and panty set.

"No" and "of course" Vanessa and Ally answered respectively at the same time. "Of course, you can" Ally said firmly while Vanessa rolled her eyes. Erica was already lying down on her air mattress and Nora was already asleep.

"I wanna see him in the rest of the stuff." Vanessa said stubbornly.

"Don't be such a bitch." Ally said, sounding a little annoyed for the first time. "I'm tired anyway. It's like 2am."

"It's 2am?" I said surprised. "I've been trying this girly shit on for 4 hours?"

The girls all smiled. "Yeah." Ally said. "Time flies when your having fun."

I rolled my eyes.

"Why don't you change into the slip you liked best." She suggested.

"Sure." I said sleepily. I was kind of excited to go to sleep. I'd never slept in bed with a girl before like this. I didn't really think anything was gonna happen but there was still something kind of exciting about it. I went back into the bathroom, scrubbed off the make up, and, after going through all the new products, reluctantly settled on the pink chantilly lace baby doll I had tried on earlier, which was by far the softest and most comfortable. I wasn't sure if girls usually went to sleep in their bras but so I slipped the baby doll on over the bra and gave myself one last look in the bathroom mirror.

Clearly I had taken longer to get dressed for bed then I thought I did because when I got out of the bathroom Erica and Vanessa were already asleep. Ally in bed, sitting up, looking at a magazine. She smiled when she saw me and patted the open spot on the bed next to her. I smiled back and headed toward her.

"You do look really pretty, Trevor." She said, beaming as I climbed into bed next to her.

I blushed a little. "Thanks." I paused and then decided to ask her about the bra. "Um should I sleep in the bra or what?"

She smiled sweetly. "You don't sleep in your bra Trevor. Here lemme help you take it off."

I turned around and she unfastened my bra, pulled it out and tossed it on her floor, giggling softly. I couldn't help but laugh too.

She adjusted the blanket so it covered us both evenly and turned toward me, putting her arms around me, spooning me. "I can't believe you thought we slept in bras, Trevor." she whispered.

It felt weird, being the little spoon as Ally rested her head behind mind, her arms still around me, but it felt really nice. It was almost like being held and it made me feel good. Who cared how it looked?

I closed my eyes and fell asleep, her arms still around me.

I had a really weird dream that night.

I was getting married but I was the bride. Ally, Erica, Nora Austin, and Jason were my bridesmaids and Dylan was walking me down the aisle in my giant white dress. I looked to the front of the church. Vanessa was officiating the wedding and Blake Edwards, Ally's cousin who I play baseball with, was my groom. Dylan lead me past Mrs Cato, who smiled and reminded me to grab the front of my dress like a lady, Cameron, who winked, Natalie from Victoria's Secret, who was only wearing a bra and panties, Ally's parents, her dad smiled patted me on the back and said "all boys school thing? I get it, I'm sure my nephew will treat you very well" Abby, who made a heart with her hands, Julian who smirked, and my parents who were both crying, to the front where Ally, Erica, Nora, Austin and Jason, all wearing matching pink strapless bridesmaid dresses, beamed at me.

I took my place opposite blake and Vanessa said "Do you, Blake Caleb Edwards, take this woman, Trevor Ashley Layton, to be your lawfully wedded wife?" That's weird, I thought. That's not my middle name.

"I do."

"And do you, Trevor Ashley Layton, take this man, Blake Caleb Edwards, to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

"I do."

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride!"

Blake leaned in, his lips puckered and kissed me. "Trevor?" He said. "Trevor?" His voice was getting higher. "Trevor?" he said in a kind of girly voice. "Trevor?"

I blinked.

"Trevor?"

Ally was nudging me gently. I was still in her bed wearing the babydoll but Erica, Nora, and Vanessa were gone.

"Trevor?"

"Yeah, I'm awake." I said groggily, still weirded out from the dream.

"You've been sleeping for a while. You must've be really tired."

"What time is it?" I asked.

"11:00. You want any breakfast?" She asked. My mom made pancakes."

"Oh sure. I just gotta change."

"You don't have to. She saw you last night. And my dad left. And Jackson's at hockey practice."

"Ok whatever."

I followed her downstairs, feeling weird about still being in the slip and found Erica, Vanessa, and Ally's Mom sitting at the kitchen table.

"Morning Sleeping Beauty!" Vanessa said brightly.

Erica laughed.

I smiled but, suddenly conscious of how much of my legs were visible, sat down quickly next to Ally.

"Pancakes Trevor?" Ally's Mom asked.

"Sure, thanks."

"You look lovely."

I blushed. "Thanks."

She smiled "Honestly, you do make a lovely young woman. If you ever want any of Ally's hand me downs you could..."

"Trevor has a big sister." Vanessa said, cutting her off.

"And I don't really wear girls clothes." I said a little embarrassed at how far this had gotten. Somehow the next morning it was less goofy fun and more just tedious. "Its just I have to play a girl in this play so they were helping me."

"Of course, of course" she said, as she tied a trash bag but I could tell she didn't believe me. "I'm sure you'll do great. Very very convincing as a girl. Very pretty." She left with the trash bag over her shoulder and as if on cue Jackson came in, drenched in sweat from practice, smelling like hockey pads.

He looked at me and laughed. "Yes, very pretty." He smirked. "This is so cute. Corrigan soccer douche makes a perfect little girly girl. So what, you've got a crush on some dude and this is the only way he'll be with you. I know some Corrigan boys have a thing for trannys. Or is this kind of crossdressing just normal for guys at Corrigan?"

"Shut the fu.." I started but he cut me off.

"Honestly, you look kinda hot. Clearly you've had practice wearing a dress. I'm sure you're very popular with the boys, aren't you. All the guys want a piece of your girly ass?" He leaned down. "Are your nails painted? How adorable. Just one of the girls." He looked at my hand and then suddenly grabbed it and kissed it. I was stunned. I couldn't move. "Did you like that?" He asked.

"What are you doing Jackson?" His mom had walked back in.

"Nothing, nothing. Just having a little fun with Trevor here." He kissed my hand again and as if on impulse I slapped him. He looked at me surprised.

"Whoah there." he said sneering. "I know your a bitch. No need to bitch slap me."

"That's enough Jackson" his mom said loudly.

"Wow," Jackson said, ignoring his Mom. "Slapping someone is by far the girliest way to defend yourself. It suits you. Like this little nightgown thing."

He flicked the hem of the slip as he passed me and then grabbed my butt.

"Fuck you!" I spat. I turned around and swung at him. There was a lot of yelling and confusion My punch connected right in his cheek and he grunted in pain and grabbed his jaw. I got a few more shots in before he grabbed me and wrestled me to the ground, my wig flying off in the process. We tussled on the ground for a few seconds before the girls and Ally's Mom finally broke us up.

"Go upstairs!" his Mom yelled at him. He shot me a look as he skulked away. Ally's Mom turned to me. "Are you ok?"

"Fine." I said still staring at Jackson as he defiantly marched up the stairs. The slip had been stretched so the the hem line was torn, one of the straps had snapped so the whole thing was barely staying on my shoulders and my lip was bleeding even though he hadn't really landed any punches.

"Ally can you go help Trevor clean up?" she asked her daughter.

"Yeah of course!"

Ally lead me to the downstairs bathroom and helped me wash my face with a washcloth. I looked absurd. There was a little blood on my face and the slip was badly stretched. My hair was flat down on my forehead.

"I'm sorry about that." I said quietly as she dabbed my face. "He was just..."

"Its fine." She said cutting me off. "Honestly I thought it was kind of hot." She flashed me a mischievous smile.

I smiled back, caught off guard. "You did?"

"Yeah." Ally smiled. "I'm weird, I know, but this is like the hottest you've ever been to me."

I smiled broadly.

After I finished washing up, Erica brought down my real clothes and I changed back into them. It felt good to be back in my normal clothes. It felt good to be me again.

I ate quickly and said goodbye to Erica and Nora, who both hugged me and told me how amazing and cute I was and how excited they were to see me in the play, Ally's Mom, who apologized again for Jackson and Vanessa who just kind of nodded at me weirdly and Ally walked me to the door.

"Thanks for coming, Trevor." she said smiling cutely at me. "I hope it wasn't too bad."

"No problem, it was kind of fun." I said, half lying, but meaning it as I said it.

"I had fun. You're really cool." She paused. "I'm sorry about my brother. I...I really do like you."

I grinned. "I like you too. And I dont care about..."

Suddenly she leaned and kissed me. Not a full make out. Just a soft kiss on the lips. "See you soon."

"Yeah." I said faintly. "See ya."

I walked outside still floating from what had just happened. She had kissed me. I wasn't even thinking about kissing her. But it wasn't a long kiss. I wouldn't even say we made out. It was just a kiss. So it wasn't everything but it was something. Was it something? It was definitely something. I wasn't sure if I had walked 10 blocks or 10 steps, when my phone rang. It was Dylan.

"Yo dude, what time are you coming over."

"Oh right." I said having forgotten that it was Sunday. "I'll be over in like an hour."

"Ok, Austin's already here but take your time."

"I'm on my way over now. Dude, I need to tell you guys about something, I just had the weirdest night."
