âso are you two going to k-ss or what?â Lucas said and Kaden glared at him, I glance at Tracey and she held that sad look, praying for me not too kss him.
âjust tell them itâs youâre not going to do itâ Kaden whispered to me and I sighed and turned.
âIâm not doing itâ I said out loud and saw James breathed out.
âthen take off your shirtâ Lucas grinned at me.
âno problemâ I said and touched the hem of my shirt ready to take off but Lucas stopped me, âyouâre really going to do it?â he asked looking surprised.
âyeah I am.â I said dryly.
âbut I really didnât mean.. I took my shirt off before he could complete his words knowing I was wearing a actually pretty good singlet in,side.
âohâ he said and sat down.
âokay Suzie why donât you go nextâ Esther said to her cousin like sheâs got something against her. Suzie rolled her eyes and spinned the arrow, it stopped at a card that had D at the back and she grabbed it and read it loudly.
âdare you to give the person at your left a wedgieâ Suzie with a smile and everyone laughed.
âwhat?! Thatâs not true!â Esther freaked out and snatched the card from her reading it to see for herself and she angrily threw the card.
âyouâre not actually going to give me a wedgie right?â Esther said almost crying and Suzie just smiled, reached for her bag on the couch and brought out fifty cents and placed it beside the table and Esther breathed out a sigh of relief.
âTracey youâre going nextâ Jerold said and Tracey glared at him. âand who gave you the authority to choose meâ Tracey barked.
âthereâs no rule book that say Esther has to choose the next playerâ Jerold said and Tracey angrily spinned the arrow making it delay a bit before stopping on a T card.. She sighed and picked it up. âtruthfully tell everyone the boy or girl you likeâ she read and covered her face with the card
âweâre waitingâ molly sang and Tracey playfully glared at her.
ââŚk.. Kadenâ Tracey rushed her words and Kaden and I glance at each other making him smile at me. No one did anything and Esther turned to Naomi.
âNaomi, youâre nextâ she said and Naomi flinched a bit before spinning the arrow and it stopped at a T card, Naomi smiled and picked it up. âtruthfully tell Eveline your first crushâ Naomi read happily.
âoh you guys wouldnât know himâ Naomi said.
âWell just say itâ Jerold persuaded.
âhis name is Brandonâ Naomi said and I gasped and turned to her.. âI thought it was Danielâ I said.
âwell it was actually Brandonâ she said and I rolled my eyes and looked away. âI guess I must be way prettier than that Branson guyâ Jerold said.
âway more prettier!â I say and he smiled while Naomi rolled her eyes at me.
âVictoria, youâre going nextâ Esther said and without hesitating Victoria pushed the arrow and it gave her a D card.
âdare you to go unclad in front of everyoneâ she said and gasped loudly making everyone giggle.
âwell that will be more fun to watchâ Lucas said and shared a laugh with Jerold, âpervertâ Victoria eyed him and dropped the card.
âI canât do it!â she said.
âwell fifty cents or take off your shirt.. Oops too bad youâre putting on a dress, just go with the dare sweetieâ Lucas said and Victoria sighed and from nowhere she brought out a dollar.
âtoo bad I came preparedâ she said to Lucas as she dropped the money on the table and said.âIâll be waiting for my change.â
âmolly youâre nextâ Esther said.
âwhy donât you go nextâ Molly said nervously.
âYeah Esther youâve been busy telling everyone to go next you should go nextâ Suzie said and Esther sighed. âfineâ
Esther spinned the arrow and it gave her a T card and she smiled.
âtruthfully tell everyone the person youâll like to do a lot of things withâ she read and dropped the card.
âthatâs easy, Iâll like to do everything with Suzie but it seems like she has a lot of things against meâ Esther said and Suzie roller her eyes.
âMolly youâre next and youâre nervous, I donât get why youâre nervous cause itâs just a gameâ Esther said immediately and Molly nod slowly, sheâs still nervous.
âIâll go nextâ Kaden said and Molly breathed a sigh of relief.
âgood for youâ Esther said looking at molly angrily.
Kaden spin the arrow and he Also got a T card and as he raised the card up to his face Esther replaced the board with new sets of card.
âread the card Kadenâ Jerold said and Kaden turned to me.
âwhat?â I asked.
I peeped at the card and I know I had a glimpse of âthe person you likeâ.
âwhy are you looking at Samanthaâ read the cardâ Suzie nudged at him.
âuhm Iâll go upstairs to restâ I said standing up.
âare you alright?â Esther asked.
âIâm feeling a little sleepy and itâs passed my bed timeâ I lied.
âwhat?!! Itâs just 8:15pmâ Lucas said.. âIâm sorryâ I said and Esther sighed. âwell you can go to my room, thatâs where all the girls are sleeping tonight and the boys are staying in the guest roomâ Esther said and I nod and hurried to step. âokay read the cardâ I heard as Esther persuaded Kaden and he sighed and he started to read the card âtruthfully tell everyone the person you admire and wish to be withâ.. I sighed not wanting to hear the rest.
I got upstairs to Estherâs room and sat at the edge of the bed, even though the game calmed me down a bit I still feel a little heavy at the heart.
I stayed like that for some time before the door opened and James walked in, we both made eye contact and she walked passed me and went to sit at the other edge of the bed.
What is she doing in here, this is a room for girâoh sheâs a girl.
âSamanthaâ she called.. âwhat?â I said without looking at her.
âIâm not going to disturb you again please I just want your forgiveneâ
âitâs okay, youâre forgivenâ I said and breathed out a sigh of relief remembering what I told my mom about forgiveness, we forgive because we have to live too so itâs useless if I have a malice with him. âreally?â she said happily and I nod.
âthanksâ she smiled. We both remained quiet and the door opened, and Esther, Tracey, molly Victoria, Naomi and Suzie walked in.
âKaden ruined the game for usâ Esther gro-ned and they nod in agreement.
âhey I thought you said you were going to the bathroom, why are you here?â Esther asked James and she shrugged âafter the bathroom I came here, I kind of found the game boringâ James said and Esther gasped.
âwell good thing itâs over letâs all sleepâ molly said getting on the bed.
âno way, we canât just sleep this sleepover isnât over yet and since Sam isnât asleep we can all play dress upâ Esther said happily.
âreally I love dress upâ Naomi said happily, Naomi loves playing dress up with me at home cause she said wearing my clothes makes her feel like a princess. But that was when we were a little bit younger.
âgreat, my mom and I just had some girls load up my closet with tons of clothes so you girls can pick anyoneâ Esther said and they all ran to the closet almost falling the door and then dresses start to fly in the air. I got in the bed and covered myself with a blanket, molly who said she wanted to sleep had joined them in their fun game of dress up. I closed my eyes but opened them when I heard.
âyou! You canât just sit there and watch you have to try one these dresses tooâ Esther said to James.
âno wayâ James said and looked away
âCâmon James, youâre a girl stop the stupid boy stuff and try one of theseâ Esther pleaded and I suddenly wondered why she isnât called Janice instead of James from her friends.
âCâmon James, itâll be fun and besides weâve never seen in you in girls clothes beforeâ Tracey chÂĄpped in and brought a dress in front of James, âI picked this, itâll look good on youâ Tracey smiled but James shook her head negatively. âyouâre lucky the principal didnât complain when you wore boys uniform and now youâre going to get unlucky cause youâre putting on this dressâ Tracey smiled and so did Esther.
âCâmonâ Esther dragged her close to the closet. I covered the blanket over my head and sighed heavily, I dated a girl.. This is not only heart breaking but awkward too.
I stayed like that until I felt a touch on my head.
I removed the blanket to see Naomi looking gorgeous in front of me, wearing a pink mini dress a black five inches heel and with a little doll makeup on her face
âhow do I look?â she asked.
âgorgeousâ I said my mind.
âwow thanksâ she said and sat in front of me. âuh.. I didnât know Iâll have so much fun here and I doubted rich kids theyâre totally nice, and also having dress up with rich kids are the best, I wish I could take all these home, like how I wished I could take yours home too when we were youngerâ Naomi said and laughed.
Oh Naomi.
âyou know what! You can take half of my closet when we get homeâ I said and she looked at me weirdly.
âwhat?â I said.
âyouâre not kidding?â she asked.
âno, Iâm serious you can take anything you likeâ I said.
âoh my god, thank you so muchâ she said pulling me in a hug.. If thatâs enough to thank her for being a good friend then Iâm ready to give her ten times better.
âNaomi, get over here, weâre all ready, weâre going to take a pictureâ Naomi and I heard Estherâs voice and Naomi ran to meet them. They all looked lovely Tracey was wearing a funny wig but she looked pretty anyway, Esther looked more prettier as her blue eyes rhymed with the grey dress she wore, molly looked the same, still pretty, victoria breath taking, Suzie looked a little like Selena Gomez with the black hair and black lip stick she wore, and then my eyes caught her.. JAMES.
wearing a yellow dress and a brown long wig, she looked so pretty that I suddenly compared us to her but she looked prettier than all of us, her body may look weird and ski-ny in a boyâs clothing but it looked perfect in a girlâs clothing. Her l-ips were painted full red and her lashes looked longer, her body looked a little curvy and you can notice her long legs, sheâs so pretty that I became jealous. She looked kind of shy and when Esther brought out her camera she looked away.
âSam youâre not doing anything, why donât you take a picture or us please?!!â Tracey said and I sighed, got up from the bed and took the camera from them .
âokay everyone take your positionâ Esther announced and they did and I took a picture of all of them but when I looked at them in the camera James face was else were.
âJames you didnât look at the cameraâ I said to her and Esther glared at her.
âoh really.â she said and I nod and look away.
This time they all had to pose again and I know James wasnât looking at the camera but me and she looked away when I turned to her.
âand one last oneâ Esther said and took the camera from me âyouâre going to be in it cause weâll all remember this one dayâ she said, placed the camera on the bed and dragged me to stand beside her. The camera was on timer and took a photo of us after three seconds and in it James was beautifully staring at me. Yes I know I added beautifully cause it was worth it.
Few minutes later everyone was back to their normal clothes, or should I say pajamas. And Esther switched off the lights leaving only a blue dim light in the room saying its time to tell scary stories. Each of them formed a circle on the floor and Suzie start to tell a story , James came back to the bed saying heâs cold on the floor and he sat in front of me listening to the story. I wasnât listening to the story but lost in thoughts I donât understand, James was in front of me but a bit later she was beside me. I donât know how she got closer to me but who cares.
âyou listening to the story?. Itâs kind of scaryâ she said lowly, sheâs trying to start a conversation.
âwhy did you take off your dress, it looked pretty on youâ I said and turned to her and she looked away.
âoh.. thanksâ she said nervously, we didnât say anything until Suzie ended the story and Esther said sheâs scared and we all need to sleep, since itâs her sleepover we all obeyed her.
âyou all got your sleeping bags right?â Esther asked and we all nod as we roll out our sleeping bags
âSuzie You and I are staying on the bedâ Esther said and Suzie Sighed and got on the bed, I placed my sleeping bag on the bed and James was about placing hers beside mine but Naomi quickly placed hers there.
âsorry sheâs my bestie, so I have to sleep beside herâ Naomi said squeaked and James nodded and put her sleeping bag else where,
âIâm turning off the lightsâ Esther announced and turned it off, everywhere became quiet and only our breaths could be heard.
*.
Few minutes later everyone was asleep except me, my eyes were still lurking the darkness worrying of something that I canât really tell what Iâm worrying about, I forgave James but still I donât know whatâs wrong with me. I got up from my sleeping bag and went to the small but fancy balcony in Estherâs room and I sat on the floor of the balcony and stare at the stars, some says looking at the stars helps a lot, but after seconds of me staring at them I know itâs a crystal lie.
âheyâ I heard Naomiâs sleepy voice behind me. And I turned.
âwhat are you doing here?â I asked and she sits beside me.
âshouldnât I be asking you that?â she said and I sighed, âfor some reason I couldnât sleepâ .
âme too looks like Iâm worrying about you too muchâ Naomi laughed and and I sighed again and placed my head on her shoulder.
âI donât know whatâs wrong with me seriously, James explained everything to me and asked for my forgiveness, I forgave her but still I am not okayâ I explained..
âdo you still love him.. Iâm sorry herâ Naomi said and I sat properly.
âI donât⌠know.. ..â I lied I know I still do. âSam you still do I can tell youâre lyingâ Naomi said and I rolled my eyes âisnât that why youâre my best friend.â
âokay well even though youâre going to get mad or even though this sounds cr@zy, Iâm going to say it anywayâ Naomi said and I looked at her attentively waiting for her to say it.
âso. ⌠What If youâre really in love with James both as a boy and a girl, but sheâs still a girl, what if you donât like boys but girlsâ she said and I scoffed.
âare you crazy, thatâs stupidâ I said.
âshhhh.. Youâll wake the others, I mean if you really liked boys you would have really dated one in your previous school, and everyday youâd come home telling me how different kind of girls looked prettier than you I mean isnât that a signâ Naomi suggested and I gasped.
âthat is no stupid signâ I snarled.
âsorry, Iâm just saying, but what if youâre homos*xual, I saw the way you were looking at James while taking a picture of us during the dress upâ she said and I huffed and looked away.
âI canât believe youâre saying that about me!â.
âIâm sorry, Iâm just suggestingâ she said and I sighed for the eleventh times and turned to her
âyouâre suggesting or insulting? Which one? Just because sheâs a l-sbian and deceived me doesnât mean I am tooâ I stated and Naomi sighed âwell Iâm sorryâ she said calmly and I huffed.
âwell gets rid of those feelings and letâs go back to sleep and enjoy the Sunday tomorrowâ she said, helped me up and we both went back into the room and into our sleeping bags,
âif youâre still having trouble sleeping you can hold my handâ Naomi said and I did hold her hands.
âthanksâ I said and I saw her small smile from the moon light that lit the room.
I started to think about Naomiâs words, what If I am a l-sbian. I mean that would be creepy that would freak everyone out, âhey close your eyes I can see them shiningâ Naomi said and Laughed I laughed forcefully and closed my eyes.
I donât want to be a le$bian..
â˘â˘â˘~â˘â˘â˘~â˘â˘â˘~â˘â˘â˘~ ~â˘â˘â˘~â˘â˘â˘~â˘â˘â˘~â˘â˘â˘~â˘â˘â˘~
The next morning we all rolled up our sleeping bags had a cup of coffee and I called Evans and he came to pick Naomi and I.
*
Naomi went home and so did I, my Sunday was spent with Just my thoughts, is l-sbianism my fate??
Mrs Joyce came to visit, this time with Peter and Erika and without her husband, my mom made me had dinner with Peter and I didnât object cause I wanted to try something, I wanted to love him, I wanted to have feelings for him maybe that would prove Naomiâs theories wrong. We both had a fun conversation and I founded it nice and I was glad. Peter seemed happy as he left with his mom and baby sister and I went back to my room.
That night I slept without worrying but my heart felt heavy a bit.
The next day after my morning jog, I got ready for school and Evans drove me to school.. I got to class and sat down and immediately James walked in, I didnât know it was her at first cause she was putting on a shirt and a skirt and she pinned her boyish hair back and wore black earrings to look more girlish, and she looked beautiful.
âarenât you James??â a girl in the front suddenly said and she nods.
âwait? Youâre a girl?!!â the girl yelled and James nod again with a shy smile, I guess not everyone knew.
âIâm sorry for the misunderstanding and itâs actually Janice not Jamesâ James said, glanced at me before walking away.
âwhoa, Iâve been looking for a girlfriend but I never knew one was in front of me the wh0le timeâ Lucas said when he saw James.
âcut it outâ James rolled her eyes. Kaden just smiled as he saw her but he didnât say anything. Everyone was surprised but somehow I wasnât.
A teacher walked in the class and we all payed less attention to James but the teacher.
After taking three more subjects after the first one, it was time for lunch break and as usual Victoria came to meet me. And she Tracey and I ended up going to the cafeteria together . While going to the cafeteria they both talked about James and then I asked.
âTracy! You knew from the beginning that James is a girl and you also knew that I liked her, you had a gazillion chances to tell me sheâs a girl and I noticed anyone who wanted to tell me you shut them up, can I ask why?â I asked and she paused.
âwell at first, you were rude to everyone but then you started to like James and around James you do nice things, so I thought maybe if you didnât learn the truth and like James even more maybe youâll learn to be nicerâ Tracey said and I gave her a look before breathing in and out and saying. âokayâ I didnât need to waste my time and get angry at her for something like that.. We both ate lunch at the cafeteria with Molly and Esther joining us and it was real nice.
While going back to class I bumped into James and apologized.
âitâs okayâ she smiled
âyou look⌠goodâ I tell her.
âoh thanksâ she replied.
âso? What made you change? I mean to be girly again?â I asked and she smiled even more.
âwell yesterday during the dress up, I looked at myself in the mirror and loved what I saw, I saw a beautiful lady, I saw a woman in me and I know I could never be a man and then you told me I looked pretty and that meant a lotâ she said and I couldnât help but smile.
âI donât know if you know but we girls we earn a lot of respect, cause we title the worldâ I said and she smiled
âmy brothers were surprised but happy seeing me this way and thatâs what theyâve been trying to accomplish by making me a girl again but they failed and seeing me this way Just changed their moods immediatelyâ James said and laughed.
âwell are you happy being this way?â I asked her.
âyeah, but Iâm still uncomfortable under a skirt, itâs revealing too much of my thighsâ she beamed
âDonât worry youâll get used to itâ I tell her. And she let out a pretty smile.
âso, Sam!â she called and I turned to her. âcan we put the past aside and be friends nowâ she said and I shrugged âwhy notâ I smiled.
âthanksâ she said and we both walked to class, now I see why, they use the quote âeverything happens for a reasonâ cause if James and I didnât date, then she wouldnât have changed. We all went back to class and after a subject of three school was over and we all went to drama class, somehow the drama teacher knew James was a girl so he didnât freak out seeing her, neither did he take her role. We acted our scene perfectly and we were all dismissed and Evans came to pick me up, James happily said bye to me and so did I.
I got home that day , I took a shower, ate dinner and went back to my room. I was watching a movie when I heard a knock on the door.
âitâs open!â I announced and Peter walked In. Theyâre here again.
âso Sam I was going out to the toy store for Erika, and I was wondering if youâd like to comeâ
He paused when I close my laptop and smiled at him âsure why notâ I smiled before walking out with him. Heâs really nice so I donât see anything to make me hate him. The burden in my heart has died a bit and I know itâs either James being a girl now or because of Peter. But mostly I am really proud of myself for changing James to Janice.
.
THE
END.
