You Miss Things
Copyright 2000 by Melissa Virus
I like girls. Boys have never really done anything for me.
They're just big, like bulky, they take up so much space, and
they're not graceful. There's just no magic to them, like there
is to girls. I mean, I guess this is just a rationalization of
some very undeniable information I get from my pussy whenever I
smell a cute girl's hair, or I see one walk by in a tight pair of
pants. Girls fucking turn me on, and boys don't. I swear to God
it's in my genes.
For a long time I couldn't admit this. It wasn't a conscious
thing, like thinking, "I must like boys, and I must not like
girls;" it was more an unconscious feeling that I didn't fit, and
must therefore make myself not fit, or must consciously be a
weirdo. Around sixth, seventh grade, I started running around
with scuzzy high school boys and taking acid and smoking weed and
stuff; I cut school all the time and basically was a pain in the
ass to everyone around me. I was cheesily enough nicknamed,
behind my back, "Jail-bait Jess." How lame, right? Anyway, to fix
me, my parents sent me to an all-girls Catholic school.
Every porn movie you've ever seen has been right: lesbianism runs
rampant in all-girl situations, or at least, it did in mine. I
had my first girlfriend the second week I got there, and the
first time she ate me out, something clicked. It didn't just make
me lose control of my body, she felt more, like, appropriate in
my pussy than any cock ever did. I knew who I was.
I actually kind of got my shit together after that. I gave up
drugs, though not drinking; I started doing homework. Remember, I
was like 13 at the time. I grew up fast. There was something
about not having to prove who I was or wasn't to everybody
around, as well as being removed from all these boys trying to
get in my pants, that helped clear my head and got my priorities
straight. Maybe I'm just easily distracted. I was 17 and had been
mostly clean, and dick-free, for four years when I met Nona's
brother Val.
My friend Nona was not a dyke. At all. She was cute, and I'd
tried to lure her to the dark side, but she wasn't having it. She
liked that guys were bigger than her, and cruder. She was
attracted to them, plain and simple, and she was an ace with
language, so in conversations that went on all night, she
convinced me that she was straight like I was gay, and I couldn't
argue. We became close friends though, making fun of each other's
sexual orientations and stuff. Neither of us really liked being
in Catholic school, but she was like me in that she'd been big
trouble before she came here, and cleaned up a lot. We didn't
have any chips on our shoulders about being in Catholic school,
but we were not blind follower-types. This set us apart. Well,
that and the fact that we were both total intellectual snobs. We
hated stupid people more than anything else, which I guess is
pretty normal for overly self-aware teenagers. We were both prone
to fits of depression. We were also both really big on getting
away with stuff. We would steal shit from other girls' rooms, or
like, stay up all night, outside, in each other's underwear, just
to do it. Neither of us was content to live within the boundaries
of "normal;" we would do anything, no matter how retarded, just
because it wasn't the usual.
I mean, there are a million reasons we clicked. We were great
friends.
Our school, St. Thomas Aquinas' School for Girls, was far from
both of our homes. You know, because the parents didn't want us
sneaking out to be with our old friends and stuff. One night, we
found out about a party some kid from the local high school was
having, a no parents thing, and we decided to go: I liked
bourbon, and, while she pretty much stayed out of trouble, Nona
still had an affinity for nose candy. She was hoping she could
score a little heroin; she called it Soma. She'd always been able
to handle her dope, and I was way beyond being preachy about
drugs, so I didn't have a problem with her bingeing every now and
again. So we'd go to this party and get fucked up.
The thing about this night was that she wanted me to meet her
brother, as I always tried to convince her to join me on the isle
of Lesbos; she was always trying to bring me over to the land of
the breeders. She actually figured it would be pretty futile, but
worth a shot; her brother was rad, she said, and I'd really like
him. And besides, he was nineteen, two years older than us, and
working as a freelance mechanic, saving money to go to college.
He had nowhere else to be tonight. Whatever, I thought; if he's
got a dick, I'm not interested.
We went to the party. I got some greasy guy to buy me a bottle of
Jim Beam, and was half in the bag by the time we even got to the
party. Her brother Val was going to meet us there; it was an hour
and a half drive from their hometown, so he'd be getting there
late.
Well. It was a big bottle of Jim Beam, and by the time Val got
there, I'd freaked out every single square in the house, and
turned on every cute girl with latent lesbian tendencies. It was
a blast. I was actually sitting on a couch stroking some poor
gorgeous fifteen-year old girl's leg when the front door opened
and Val walked in.
Everything stopped. Maybe it was the low angle I had from the
couch, but I swear to God it was like some kind of Manga or
something. The door opened up and there he was, chin length black
hair blowing in the wind, white scarf all billowing too, framed
by the door frame; in my head all the terrible pop-house music
stopped and no one moved. He was gorgeous. He was skinny, wearing
an oversized brown corduroy jacket, tight brown boot jeans, big
clunky black shoes, and a gray sweater with a red T-shirt poking
out from underneath.
I let go of the girl I was sitting with, walked up to him, and
introduced myself. He introduced himself back. At that point I
remember raising the bottom of my bourbon bottle up to the
ceiling and finishing the end of it. He laughed, honestly, but
not too loudly. He said that he couldn't believe he was at a
silly high school party. We went back and forth a couple times,
and while I tried to hold up my end of the conversation, I was
half drunk and amazed, and must have sounded like an idiot. I was
entranced. He had this slow, laconic way of talking, where I
didn't know if he was half-retarded, making fun of me, just
taking his time, or honestly thinking really hard about every
word he said. It wasn't like he was saying 'duh,' though; it was
more like he was waiting for somebody else to move, so he could
play off them, or like he was so in control of the situation that
he didn't even need to assert himself. It was clear that he got
self-assurance from inside himself, and had nothing to prove to
me, or anybody.
You know how they say a girl knows whether she'll sleep with a
guy within a couple minutes of meeting him? Yeah. I was good and
drunk, but I already wanted to suck his dick. Yup, I'm a fucking
slut; so shoot me. I went with him when he dropped off his coat,
and then we went out onto the back porch to talk. He produced his
own bottle of bourbon and we talked; he'd heard a lot about me
from his sister, and knew I liked most of the same bands as he
did, so it wasn't even awkward at first. Every single band he
brought up was one that had changed my life, and all his jokes
were really funny. He had this way of letting you know that he
was intelligent without dropping Kant quotes, he could drop words
like "simulacrum" and "pedagogy" into conversation about the
Dropkick Murphys without seeming contrived. As he got drunk, and
I maintained my level of drunkenness, we both got looser, until
he brought up my sexuality.
Okay, firstly, straight boys do NOT know how to bring up a girl's
dykehood in conversation. I don't know why; I guess it's outside
their sphere of existence or whatever, but they just can't bring
it up. They're half turned on by it, half tryin' not to hurt my
feelings, and half... I don't know. Half freaked out by
homosexuality? The point is, Val was no different. He was better
than any other boy who'd asked me if I was queer and stuff, but
still, he didn't pull it off with that much grace.
"So... uh, Nona tells me you're gay?"
Maybe there is no good way to broach the subject. I mean, the
point of being gay is that there's no boys allowed, right? So how
are they gonna ask about it?
I told him I liked girls, and he told me that I was flirting like
mad. I almost died, in a good way, he was so candid. I told him
that he was right, that I thought he was a fox. I was using the
old sexuality inversion technique, wherein I, as the girl, am
open and honest about sex, thus giving me the conversational
upper hand, but it didn't work. He just told me he thought I was
cute too. I couldn't get the upper hand with him, and he seemed
to barely even be trying.
I'd worn my school uniform skirt with a tight black top, with
tiny sleeves, because I knew that it turned a lot of people on.
The problem, though, was that in my little skirt and top, out on
the back porch, I was freezing. He noticed that I was shivering,
and gave me his gray sweater. Didn't ask if I wanted it, just
took it off and put it around my shoulders. I put it on over my
shirt and smiled up at him. Then I kissed him. I was a little
surprised, but I was very drunk.
He kissed back. Then we both pulled back, he told me he was
really turned on by the fact that I was gay, and he totally
respected it. If I didn't want to kiss him, I didn't have to. And
of course, this made me even more attracted to him. Drunkenly, it
seemed like his acceptance of the fact that I was a lesbian made
him kind of not a real boy, and therefore fair game. I kissed him
again, and then stood up. I took his hand and was about to lead
him up the stairs, when I noticed his tight shirt. Not just the
fact that it covered an amazing skinny-but-muscular torso, but
that it said "the Chemical Brothers."
We'd talked about all the indie/punk bands we liked, I thought I
was the only indie rock dork who could appreciate the Chemical
Brothers; apparently not. They were an important musical and
lifestyle touchstone for me. I actually let loose a girly
"Ohmigod," put my hand over my mouth and pointed at his shirt, he
just grinned at me with big white teeth. I noticed that he was
taller than me. Then I led him upstairs, to find someplace to
suck his dick. The idea of cock had wedged itself into my brain,
and for the first time in over four years, I really wanted to see
one, to play with one, to suck one. I wanted to fucking gag on a
cock, play the role of the slut. I was ready to be debased.
I held his hand and led the way as I looked for a room. Of course
there were a bunch of couples in a bunch of different rooms, and
I kept laughing whenever we opened a door on one. He just looked
half embarrassed to be at this party at all. Eventually we found
a room, and when we entered, he locked the door. Smart boy.
I grabbed him before he could sit down on the bed, took his hand,
and put it on my ass, up under my skirt. He seemed to appreciate
this, and he rubbed and squeezed. His other hand went to the back
of my head, and he pulled me in to kiss him. His finger snuck its
way into the top of my panties, and crawled between my ass
cheeks. I knew from anal stimulation, and just the insinuation of
it was enough to get me nice and wet. I moaned. I felt his dick,
big and hard, pressing into my stomach where my belly button went
in. I wanted it. I bent my knees, forcing his hand out of my
panties, and knelt in front of him. Then I undid his fly and
pulled his pants to the floor.
His cock was gorgeous: not too fat, and almost, but not quite,
too long. I totally had another Manga moment, where this cock
just stood out, with like a million speed lines around it, zoom
zoom zoom, light from heaven shining all around it, and my knees
hurt from kneeling. I was soaking my panties. I put my little
hand around this monster and went up and down a little, getting
it ready, even though it was already hard and huge. I stroked,
one finger at a time, the underside, and fondled his nuts. His
male genitalia didn't even seem absurd, usually, the thought of
the awkwardness and, y'know, lack of aerodynamics, could make me
laugh out loud. This time, though, his straining dick seemed
noble, totally beautiful. I played with the skin around the base,
like the crotch area, running my long nails all around. Then I
couldn't take it anymore and had to put it into my mouth.
I opened up my red lips and ran my pink tongue up and down the
shaft. Unlike the guys I'd been with in the past, he kept his
shit clean, and it almost tasted good, at the very worst, it
tasted like nothing. Then I opened my mouth and took it in. I
hadn't done this in so long that in retrospect, I'm sure it
wasn't much of a blowjob. But he made faces and noises like it
was the best thing that had ever happened to him. He made me feel
confident, I pulled up the front of my skirt and put my hand in
my panties. I sucked and licked and bobbed my head in and out.
When feminists say that doing shit like this is degrading,
they're right, but what they tend to forget is how much fun it
can be to be degraded. I was sucking cock, I was a cocksucker.
It's such an easy insult. I felt insulted, and it made me wet. I
kept going over this magic word, cocksucker, in my head, and it
kept turning me on... Cock. Cock sucker. Sucking cock. Gimme that
cock! I'm a cock sucker. I'm sucking dick... Finger on my clit, I
came. I didn't stop sucking though, until he came too. I
swallowed three or four spurts before there was too much and I
started to choke, and his spum shot all over my face. I didn't
know there could be that much spum in one load, but here I was,
covered in it. It hung together in strands between my parted
lips, and I wiped some away from my eyes. He looked at me,
touched my hair, and then fell back on the bed. I licked his
spunk off my lips. I went to the bathroom and found some toilet
paper and cleaned my face up, couldn't be leaving his spum as
evidence that he was here. I'm so considerate.
I came back into the bedroom and he was lying on the bed. He was
totally about to go to sleep; I knew that's how guys worked. But
not girls. And I was gonna show him how we did it, and it was
going to blow his mind.
I stripped off all his clothes, and his dick was totally limp. I
didn't even want to play with that though, so instead I went for
his nipples. I straddled him right above his dick, so that the
only sensation it got was the tickle of my skirt resting on it,
and sat mostly upright, rubbing his nipples. My pussy sat on his
belly button. His chest was so skinny he might as well have been
an anorexic girl, although of course he had tiny nipples and no
tits. Still, I was turned on by his petiteness. His nipples
started getting hard, I was pleased, because I hadn't known
whether boy nipples worked at all.
"I'm gonna fuck you like a girl. I'll show you how we do it.
You're gonna like this, kid..."
His dick was getting hard. I could feel it against my ass.
"Maybe I'll let you use that dick. You're turned on by lesbians?
I'll show you how we fucking do things."
I was whispering into his ear. By this point I was pinching his
nipples, licking and then biting them. His face was flushed, boy
nipples were way more sensitive than the media would have led me
to believe. Soon I stopped being rough on them, took my hands off
altogether and just licked at his right one. Soft and cold, it
was a new sensation, and his breathing shortened up. He was
totally into it.
Phase two was bondage. Everybody loves bondage. So I took the
terrycloth belt from a bathrobe hanging on the back of the door
to the room and blindfolded him, then took off my soaked white
nylon panties and stuffed them into his mouth. Next I started
licking. I licked up in his inner thighs, but stayed away from
his glorious cock, which was once again, already, huge. I stroked
his stomach. I picked up his arms and put them above his head,
then slowly traced my nails down the sides of his body. He
started to get goosebumps, he liked the nails. I stroked him all
over with them, on the neck, on the stomach, even heading down
toward his taint thing. I figured that must be pretty sensitive,
he started to moan. It was. I stroked that piece and soon I was
rolling his balls between my fingers and licking his taint. He
really liked that. It was clean down there, even by girl
standards, so next I did the only logical thing I could, I put my
tongue up his ass. I mean, not right away, the secret to good sex
is teasing. So I licked around his asshole, hard and soft, fast
and slow, still holding and playing with his nuts with my hand.
You can't penetrate an asshole too far with your tongue, try it.
So once I had it nice and wet, I put a finger up into it. Just
one. I went in and out, and I wiggled the last digit. I didn't
even need to touch his dick, I knew that this could make him come
without it, so I didn't want to do it very long. Soon I stopped.
His dick was harder than a diamond.
I didn't touch him for a solid minute. I just let him wait. Then
I took my panties out of his mouth and sat on his face, sixty-
nine style, so that I could stroke his cock lightly with my nail.
He was a pussy-eatin'-ace, it turned out, and soon his face ran
with me juice. I played with his balls the whole time, and he
stayed hard. Soon I was about to come, so I got off his face and
straddled his huge cock. He thrust it into me, hard, and I was
really, really ready for it. I bucked like a fucking bronco for
about five minutes until he shot me full of come. I came again.
Then, as his cock shrunk inside me, I left him blindfolded and
stroked his nipples in circles. Goosebumps broke out like crop
circles. He was spent, and since I didn't want him to fall
asleep, I took off his blindfold.
"Yo, I need more lesbian sex," he told me.
"You make a terrible lesbian, with that gorgeous cock of yours,"
I told him, "although I think you could pass for your pussy-
eating. You're amazing."
We were both quiet for a minute when I realized something: He
looked a lot like Nona. A lot. His hair was the same, he was only
a little less skinny, his face was only a little more manly, not
too much; he looked kind of girly, for a boy. He didn't walk like
a girl or anything, but he didn't really walk or act in a manly
manner, either. But I think not drinking for the last hour or so
had sobered me up enough to realize: fucking him was totally a
substitute for fucking Nona. I suddenly believed in the
unconscious.
Sobering up further, I realized that I still felt the same about
his cock, and about the conversation we'd had. He was everything
I'd wanted in a girl, except for the boobs and the vagina, but I
loved his cock. I wondered whether I could love him, I thought I
probably could. How about that.
"Yo, you're a slut! I only met you like twenty minutes ago," he
told me.
This cracked me up. It's tough to explain why, it's like, when
two people have such similar world-views, when the same things
are important to them, they have magic. And one of the things we
both believed in was being blunt, because it was funny. What he
meant by the slut comment was that it was fucked up that we'd
just met and we'd already had sex, he didn't really think I was a
slut. We both knew how deeply we'd connected, and he was making
fun of it. That was why I liked him.
"Yo, you're the slut, kid. I was all playing with your nipples
and fingering you and shit, you just laid there," I told him
back. "In fact, I think you should wear my panties, and I'll wear
your boxers."
"Sure thing. That anal thing felt amazing. You're, y'know,
talented. I'll be your girlfriend."
I pulled my soaked panties up his legs, and then I pulled his
pants up. I put on his boxers. They weren't even that big on me,
sure they were tight on my ass, but I could get away with wearing
them under my skirt for the rest of the night. He reproduced what
little bourbon was left, and we finished it. It was cool. I was
turned on to think that he was so like Nona, and I'd fucked him,
and he was wearing my panties. Suddenly I felt sadistic.
"You look a lot like your sister, dawg. I bet with makeup, and
her uniform on, you could pass for her."
"Pssssssssh," he said, making an exaggerated "oh, I see" face,
"you totally just fucked me because you want to fuck my sister!
Holy shit, you fucking bitch!" he asserted.
"I'd love to fuck your sister, true. But know what? I'm totally
in love with, uh, your cock. I'm as surprised as anyone else.
Maybe it's just the fact that it doesn't smell funny, or that
it's like the perfect size, but I totally loved sucking it... Not
to mention the fact that Nona likes the motherfucking Red Hot
Chili Peppers."
"Ha ha true, fucking Nona. I bet she just wants to get it on with
Flea. Or fucking Kiedis. Anyway, I was kidding. I probably could
pass for her. My point is, this is what I'm getting at here, we
should go outside and smoke a cigarette."
I agreed. His boxers felt weird under my skirt, but he didn't say
anything at all about wearing my panties. It made me grin to see
panty lines through his tight jeans. We went out back and smoked.
"So uh, are you going back home tonight? Because if you feel like
doing some sneaking, you could crash in my bed," I told him,
hoping.
"Baby," he said, putting his arm around me, "I was born to sneak,
and I was fucking born to crash in your bed."
I felt like the cheerleader in the football player/cheerleader
scenario we were acting out. I hadn't been this happy in forever.
"We should get back to school. I have classes in the morning, and
God knows where your sister is," I said.
"Probably sucking somebody's dick for heroin," he said, taking my
hand and heading back into the house.
He was leading this time. I totally didn't mind.
Nona wasn't actually sucking anybody's dick, but she was blitzy-
blitzed in some tubby long hair guy's bedroom, face down on the
floor. (This long hair guy made me remember why I was a lesbian.)
Val and I both knew that she was fine, no vomit equals no
problem, but still, we were both worn out now, and Nona was in no
condition to get back to school like this. It'd be two hours,
like four A.M., by the time she was ready to sneak back into
school. I couldn't wait that long. We told the kid that she was
with to tell her we'd gone back, and Val wrote a note telling her
what was up, and slipped it into the pocket of her jeans. Then we
headed to his Mustang and drove back to school.
In my life, whenever I've been involved in drunk driving, the
song "Drinking and Driving is So Much Fun," or whatever it's
called, by the Business, I think (I'm a girl, I don't have to
know band names), has always been on. Tonight was no different.
Fucking drunk punks.
We parked in a grocery store lot about a mile and a half down the
road from school and walked the rest of the way. Sneaking in and
out was stupid-easy: Nona and I shared a ground-floor room, and
we left the window open. I mean, the nuns weren't even fucking
trying to keep us in. We didn't complain though.
We climbed in and stripped. I wore his boxers and a little
strappy tank top that said, "dyke;" he wore my panties. It was an
unspoken game of "I can hang:" if he had taken them off, I would
have made fun of him for not being able to wear a little pair of
panties, but if I said anything about his leaving them on, then
I'd have been a kind of prude, and I could fucking hang. So he
wore my white nylon panties to bed. I set the alarm for 6:30,
which was only four hours in the future, and fell asleep in his
arms. It was nice to be the held one, for once
When the alarm went off, he didn't have to get up, so I let him
sleep while I took a shower. We shared a bathroom with two girls
in another room, so I had the shower to myself; I just locked
their door. Halfway through my shower I realized that I couldn't
remember whether Nona had been in the room when I'd gotten up, it
hadn't occurred to me to look. I hurried through my shower,
shaved my legs and washed my hair, then ran into my room. She
wasn't there.
"Val! Wake the fuck up yo, your sister totally didn't come home
last night."
I shook him. He woke up a little, until he understood what I was
saying, and then he woke all the way up. Oh shit.
See, here's the problem, Nona's notorious for absenteeism. She
probably had maybe one absent day left in this semester, before
she had to retake every class. Val and I both knew this. The
problem was that we both also knew that this was her best
semester so far, and if it didn't count, she was gonna get
depressive. Like, real bad, depressive. Nobody wanted that. We
discussed briefly. And as soon as I thought that he should try to
pass for her, he thought it too, and he looked scared.
Scared! I was surprised for a minute. Last night it had seemed
like nothing could scare him. He was imperturbable. He was a
rock. He hadn't even squeaked when I'd massaged his prostate. And
here he was with wide eyes.
"You'll do it, right? I'll print up a note that you can show the
sisters that says your throat's fucked so you don't have to talk.
Eh? I know I can make you look like her. I'm a makeup ace. Come
on, please? I'll bet it turns you on."
I knew he'd do it. So did he. It was 7:05.
"Yo, it kinda does. Okay, lemme shave my legs."
He walked off to the shower.
His fucking lazy-ass manner made me unsure whether he was
kidding. I didn't really care though; I booted up the ol' Tandy
and got to work making a suitably smart-ass note for Val to show
the Nuns.
When he came back from the shower, his hair was clean and shiny,
and he was smooth as hell. I thanked God that he hadn't cut
himself shaving his face. I showed him the note I made for him to
show everybody, "I'm sick. I can't talk. I'm probably dying. But
I don't have any absences left, so I will quietly take notes in
the back row. Thank you. Winona Grea." Everybody was used to us
being wiseasses.
"Ok, get dressed, because doing your makeup is going to be a
bitch," I told him.
I picked out a pair of satin rose patterned Victoria's Secret
panties for him to wear, thought for a second, then tossed him a
pair of tight white cotton ones too.
"To keep your monster restrained," I told him, poking his groin.
I gave him a white bra to wear, which I stuffed with more
panties. Then he put on a white satin camisole over it, because
it was opaque and hid the fact that his breasts were panties, and
finally the white button down shirt. Then came the red, black and
green skirt, which I tucked the shirt into. Then I rolled the
waistband twice to make it shorter.
"Sorry, that's kind of the way we wear 'em," I told him, and gave
him the sheer white knee socks.
He pulled them up to his knees. I was doing my makeup in my
mirror and I looked over at him. He had the socks on and was
struggling to hide a hard-on. He saw me looking. He started
rambling.
"Fuck man, I wasn't kidding. It's hard to keep your a secret when
you're forced to do it. Look, I like you a whole lot, Jess, so...
I get off on dressing up like this. Ok? I've never actually done
it. I'm a closet fucking crossdresser. I've suppressed the hell
out of it, and I'm trying to repress it right now, but my dick
won't fucking listen. You can't know how much it turns me on that
I'm going to be my sister today. It's like, sex fantasy number
one for me. It's the most amazing thing that's ever happened to
me. And fuck you, mother fuck you, if you so much as look at me
funny for it. I mean God-damn, what am I supposed to do? At least
I'm being honest, right? Fucking... Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck."
He was halfway toward crying. He was not invincible. I didn't
dislike him at all, I think I loved him, and I really felt closer
to him knowing this. Listen: it's like, last night he'd seemed
perfect, and he was almost inhuman. His slow speech made it seem
like he had a comeback for everything, like he was total master
of everything. Now suddenly he was as human as me, flawed,
perturbable, and that made him even more attractive. As for the
fact that his flaw was some kind of wanting-to-be-a-girl, well, I
was a fucking dyke. So what? Nobody's sexuality is perfect. I
still liked him.
I sat down on the bed next to him.
"Val, look at me." He did. "I tried not to be a dyke for a long
time. I know what you're going through, well, kind of, and let me
tell you, I sure don't like you any less. I think I like you more
because now you're imperfect. It's okay that you like to wear
skirts, kid, it's just clothes. It's not like you, I don't know,
appreciate the work of Creed, or something."
He smiled. Then he let out a dumb-little-joke-post-emotional-
outpouring giggle. He was shaking like Parkinson's, but I knew
he'd be OK. Remember, he still was almost perfect.
"All right then, motherfucker. I'm gonna pretend I've got a
pussy!"
He hugged me really hard, then sat down by the mirror for me to
do his makeup.
Nona was big on makeup, so his lipstick was dark brown with a
black outline, his eye shadow was dark, and I gave him a lot of
foundation. I also gave him probably more eyeliner than he
needed, but by that point, I was getting into it. I was thinking,
this is fun. I could get used to having a transvestite boyfriend.
I put some barrettes in his hair, and he was done.
He looked a whole lot like Nona, just... prettier. His hair was
thicker, his eyes were darker, and his body was better toned. It
wasn't something anyone else would notice, but having lusted
after her for so long, and having stared at her so much, I did.
He was fucking gorgeous. The new problem was, of course, how to
pass him off as sick, looking like that, but it didn't even occur
to me. I wanted him so badly, and we only had twenty minutes to
get to class.
His skirt stuck out ten inches in front of him, even with two
pairs of panties. His cock was perfect and obvious. I was gonna
have to suck that off, so I pushed him back onto the bed, pulled
both pairs of panties down and yummy down on this. He came real
quick, and he was moaning all squeaky like a girl. That was fine
with me, he was such a fox, and I was in love with his dick. I
thought, transvestites are weird.
Since he'd come so quickly, I had time for myself too. He
couldn't get down into my cunt, because he'd fuck up his makeup,
but I had a backup plan that ran on double A batteries. I told
him to pose for me, feel himself up, just be a sexy girl while I
watched, and rubbed my piece over my clit. He was terrible at it,
really amateurish, and largely unaware of how a girl would move,
but that in itself was a turn on. Soon I was coming. Ten minutes
left, I told him to keep posing. I beat off again, and then we
were off to class.
His awkwardness paid off, because he was all introverted and shy
and drawn in, and that's similar to how you are when you're sick.
As soon as we were out the door, he reached for my hand, and I
gave it to him. We held hands to our first class, English. He was
still not comfortable, but comfort, I thought, was for people who
could be sedated by television. This was a fucking experience,
this was irregular, and this was awesome. There was a lot more to
it than just sex. Even after my vibrator session, I was still
turned on for him. I felt exhilarated, but I knew that after
spending nineteen years in the closet, he must be way more so. I
reached up his skirt and pinched his ass. He slapped my hand
away, then looked over and grinned sheepishly. Now he remembered:
this was going to be fun. He pinched my ass back.
There were girls everywhere, dressed just like us. He squeezed my
hand tightly. His heart was going three hundred beats per minute,
but anxiety can only last so long before it burns itself out, and
he couldn't stay that worried. We headed into our first class.
He showed Sister Orton, the English teacher, his note, and she
groaned. She was used to this shit from us, and wasn't surprised
that Nona was all dolled up and pretending to be dying. But
before she could even say anything, though, Val was in the back
of the room, sitting next to me, legs crossed, pretty. I'd
definitely put way too much on his eyes, but I thought it was
cute.
We sat through the lecture on the Great Gatsby without incident,
passing notes. He actually had a lot to say about it in his
notes. He hadn't loved the book, but he made points a hundred
times better than the ones made by the girls in class. I was
falling in love. I started thinking, my life fucking rules. I'm a
dyke in love with a transvestite. I bet our kids are into
bestiality. Or plushies.
We left class without saying anything, and he showed the note to
our Spanish teacher, Sister Gomez. He handed in Nona's homework,
which she'd thankfully done before the party last night, and took
a seat next to me in the back of the room again. We passed more
notes. He got comfortable enough to give me a note, halfway
through class, that was a diagram of the room and all the desks
in it, with X's over the desks of the girls he'd like to fuck. I
laughed out loud. We almost got in trouble, but I managed to
defuse the situation with some quick "No, no esta muy divertida,
no esta nada." I was a Spanish class superstar, I learned from
Black Francis.
We went on like this all day, making fun of people and passing
notes. We sat at the back of every class. I kept looking at his
legs, crossed under his desks. They were really well shaped, he'd
been a fencer in high school, and that had given him really well
defined leg muscles, but after a year or so of not doing it, the
muscles were less cut: softer, but still strong. I kept finding
new things about him that turned me on. As for him, well, at one
point in our Calculus class, he got a hard-on. It looked like the
situation might be grim, but the terror of getting caught killed
it quick, he informed me afterwards.
Calculus was right before lunch, though, so I had a little time
to take care of the problem. We went to the girls' room; he told
me that the silhouette of the girl on the door, the triangle
skirt, was a turn on for him, just because of the basic
symbolism. I laughed and pushed him onto a toilet in one of the
stalls, joined him, then closed the door. This was going to be
fun.
We had to be quick. I pulled his skirt up and his panties way
down, then downed my panties a bit and sat down on his lap,
impaling myself on his dick, facing him. My legs wrapped around
his back and rested on top of the toilet. He held my waist and
bobbed me up and down on his dick. The cotton of his shirt and
skirt scratching against my naked thighs got me rolling, but
apparently, being dressed like a girl and fucking a girl dressed
the same way, in the girls' room, was turning him on too, because
he came as quickly as I'd hoped. There, that should put that dick
to sleep for a couple hours. We went to lunch.
Nona and I usually ate alone, because we hated everybody. So
other girls weren't a problem. If anybody spoke to Val, he just
showed his note, and they went away. Lunch was hot dogs. While we
were waiting on the line to get our food, I made a mental note to
deep throat mine to make Val laugh, but as soon as we got back to
the table, he beat me to it. He slid the hot dog in and out of
his red lips like he was blowing it; it was so unexpected I
almost died laughing. Under the table he put his hand on my
thigh, but I took it off, and whispered in his ear that if he got
a hard on in here, I couldn't do anything. He was like, "Oh
yeah," and ate his peas.
The rest of classes were uneventful. We didn't have gym that
semester, we had health, and so he didn't have to change. He told
me he wished he could have changed in the locker room, with all
these girls around, and I told him, trust me, it was awesome. All
those strappy bras and little panties and hard nipples...
After classes were over we went back to our room. All day, we had
both pointedly avoided talking about poor Nona, wondering where
she could be, because with dope, it's always a possibility that
something really, really bad had happened. He was sitting on her
bed with his legs together, leaning back, when he brought her up.
"I'm kind of worried about Nona. Where is she? I mean, she was
finally getting her shit together. Now it looks like she's on a
fucking dope binge that's going to last how long? Days? Fuck
man... She'd better not be killing herself." Then his eyes opened
up huge: "What if she ODs! Oh fuck..."
I sat down next to him and hugged him sideways.
"She hasn't OD'd. She wouldn't do that. She's probably just with
that scuzzy guy, fucked up out of her gourd. She'll be back soon,
yo, I bet she e-mailed me. Let's go to the library, I can check.
But uh, you're gonna be suspicious if you don't change out of
your uniform, kid."
He didn't want to change. He loved being dressed like this. But I
told him he didn't have to wear pants or anything, just that
wearing the uniform all day was mad suspicious. He could wear...
I had an idea. I went to Nona's closet.
"Dig this, little girl," I told him, taking out an almost floor-
length black satin column dress.
It was pretty formal, but Nona had worn it around before, so it
wouldn't be too weird. His eyes got bigger than the moon. Hell
yeah he wanted to wear that. He took it from me and rubbed it
against his face. His dick became prominent again. He took off
his skirt and his shirt. Now wearing just his panties, bra and
camisole, he looked so cute that I wanted to deep throat his dick
again. I had him sit on the bed and I did just that, pulling his
panties down just enough to get his dick out. This time though, I
stuck a finger up his ass and wiggled it while I sucked his dick.
When he came, it was with such forced that I choked, let go of
his dick, and caught his load with my face. When I reopened my
eyes, he was on his back on Nona's bed, nipples hard, black dress
in one hand.
I wiped off my face.
"You gotta watch that, kid, you're gonna make me break out" and
helped him into the dress.
It had a square neckline that didn't show any actual cleavage,
though it hinted at it, and had a ribbon all the way around,
right under his breasts. Then it fell straight, most of the way
to the floor, not tight, but still constraining. I cupped his ass
through it. He sat down and crossed his legs inside the dress. He
was in heaven. I liked seeing him with his defenses down like
this. He put on a clunky pair of strappy black platform shoes and
we went to the library.
Nona had e-mailed me. She didn't care about school, she'd woken
up this morning, seen how fucked up she'd been last night and
freaked out. She realized now that she honestly had a heroin
problem. She was coming down as she wrote the e-mail, but soon
she was going to be doing more lines to get back high. She'd
apparently been taking a lot of dope, in school, without me
finding out, for months. That explained a lot of thus far
unexplained absences... So, the mail said, as soon as she fixed,
she was checking herself into rehab. She asked me to tell her
parents some kind of story, anything except drugs. She wasn't
going to be giving the rehab people her real name, because she
didn't want this on her "permanent record." So, while I was
pissed at her for being a junkie and not telling me, like really
fucking pissed, I was reluctantly glad she was getting help. I
was also really glad that I had Val here to cover for her, and I
knew Val would be really, really happy to know that Nona was
okay, and that he'd be dressing like her for at least a couple
weeks.
I mailed Nona back and told her our plan, so she wouldn't come
busting back into school without making sure Val got out first. I
knew she'd check her mail before she came back, we were both
procrastinators.
He was excited. He kept trying to surreptitiously rub the dress
against his body, but I kept catching him. I'd pinch his tit, and
even though he couldn't feel it, he'd try to defend it. He told
me that his dick already hurt from all the fucking, and that
after two weeks of this, it'd probably never work again. I
laughed and we thanked God for the birth control pill.
So... This went on for the rest of the week. In the evenings I
taught him how to do Nona's makeup without looking like a drag
queen; we always fucked after makeup lessons, because they got
him really hot. School classes were uneventful, the same note
every day, saying Nona's throat hurt. He took to wearing
nightgowns. It's funny, his enthusiasm for girly clothes set off
a femme kick in me, too. I mean, I'm always pretty femme, but I
got really girly too. I wore nightgowns to bed too, or panties
with tank tops. It was fun.
That weekend could have been great, but it was pretty much shot
because I got my period, and when I've got my period, I become
pretty much immobilized. I lay in bed, read, and bitch, because
that's about all I can do. So Val practiced makeup and played
dress-up all weekend. He seemed to enjoy it. He also went and got
me tea, and food, and stuff. He was pretty selfless about the
whole thing, actually. It was nice.
The next week we needed a new note, because Nona's throat
couldn't have been fucked for so long. I decided to play along
too, and wrote a note that said, "Both Nona Grea and Jess Perrine
are holding a silence-vigil in both honor and protest of the
Chinese imprisonment of Tibet. Our consciousness has been raised
by both rap-rock band 'Rage Against the Machine' and rap group
'The Beastie Boys.' Thank you, Nona and Jess."
Neither of us spoke in class, all week. Not only was this tactic
efficient, but also funny.
Val had mastered makeup, or at least, he could do it on his own.
So this week we tried to figure out how to make him sound like
his sister when he talked. It was tough, but he was actually not
a bad mimic, and, like the makeup, once he got past doing a
garish caricature of femininity, he actually managed to sound
passable. So when the Sisters finally got sick of our silence
shenanigan, he wouldn't be all fucked.
One cool side effect of his learning to sound like his sister
came in our sex lives: when we fucked, now he could really moan,
and he sounded just like a girl. It was particularly sexy to me
because I'm so much more impressed with girl-voices than with boy
voices. (Uh, remember, I'm supposed to be a dyke.) He would pant
and squeal and everything, he was now, effectively, a hot chick
with no tits and a dick. I was still into it, but actually, the
novelty was wearing off. It was a good thing he was so funny and
intelligent... And that his dick was so fucking gorgeous. And now
he could moan.
He was as smart as he'd seemed on the night I met him. We had
talked mainly before sleep and at lunch, I mean like, really
talked, not just made sexual innuendoes and evil jokes and stuff,
and not only was he better read than I, but he had all types of
crazy insights, and this way of seeing problems from a bunch of
different angles. This became even more apparent over the
weekend, when there wasn't much to do but talk and read. He
played fashion show a lot of the time, but grouchy me wasn't in
the mood for it, and so just kinda tolerated it.
I was feeling better by Sunday night, and we watched the Simpsons
and stuff, lying in my bed. He continued to take care of me, and
I appreciated it. I almost wanted my period to last longer, so
that he could keep waiting on me. I made fun of him, I told him I
was gonna FemDom him into a maid's uniform and thigh-highs. He
said he welcomed it, "Maaahstaah," and curtsied in his sister's
yellow satin dress. After TV we did our Spanish and Math
homework. He'd already read the next book for English, Jane Eyre,
but I hadn't, so he played more dress-up while I read.
Truth be told, I was getting sick of his playing dress-up. I
mean, his enthusiasm was great, and infectious, but how much fun
can it be to wear a dress? Yes, it's emasculating, and yes, I
enjoy this magic power I get over people when I wear one, but
still... I don't sit around trying on my clothes. I just didn't
get it. Maybe I was even a little jealous that he could get so
much pleasure from something as simple as clothes. I don't know.
But before I was done reading, I asked him to get dressed for bed
and stop playing.
As far as we knew, there was one more week of Nona in rehab. Val
was determined to enjoy it, and said he wanted to sneak out a
bunch of times and go dancing and all. I had to remind him that
we were still in school, and the point was kind of to do our work
and get decent grades and most importantly, not be too tired to
go to class. Still, he made me promise that we'd go out at least
once during the week.
Monday morning came and we decided to stick with the
Beasties/Rage note. I took the first shower, and was dressed and
ready to go to class by the time he was out of the shower,
shaven, pale and pretty. I sat on my bed, pulled my knees into my
chest and watched him get dressed. He didn't realize I was
watching him, and dressed oblivious. It was sexy; it was really
obvious that he still relished every feel of nylon or cotton on
his body. He pulled up the panties slowly, writhing his body a
little, like the models in the Victoria's Secret commercials do,
looking down toward his ass. Then did it again with a second pair
of panties. He pulled on his bra and looked down at the cups,
sticking out his chest; he filled them with a few pairs of
panties. Then he sat at the makeup mirror and did himself up
pretty, sliding his ass back and forth on the chair. Once he was
sufficiently beautiful, he pursed his lips and made faces in the
mirror; then he realized we had class, put barrettes in, and
scurried to the closet to grab a white blouse. Then he put on his
skirt, slowly, and looked at himself in the mirror. He dropped
his chin in toward his chest and made a rock star face in the
mirror, then pulled up the front of his skirt to show his panties
to the mirror. He was hard, but he'd set up a system so his dick
went straight up into the skirt's waistband so I didn't have to
suck him off every couple hours. He let his skirt fall, put his
purse over his shoulder and picked up his books.
He still turned me on. He was still beautiful in Nona's makeup,
and his body was still amazing. I wanted to grab his tits, but
they only frustrated me, since there was no tit in them, just
panties. So I grabbed his ass under his skirt again, and said,
"One more week. Can you handle it?"
He looked at me and nodded. Then he smiled, his teeth looked
particularly white in comparison to his brown lips, and said
simply,
"Fuck yeah."
He made a pouty kiss face and headed off to class, me trailing
behind.
Classes were uneventful again, and we continued not to talk. The
nights were a boring blur of homework and studying; we'd already
cut down on the sex because his dick hurt, and because, honestly,
there was a lot of schoolwork to be done. We were only fucking
like once a night, twice tops.
Wednesday night we went out. He made me take him to this lame
straight club, the Golden Cup or some dumb shit, so he could
dance with boys and stuff. We dressed all up in our finest; he
wore a short light purplish dress with a tight top part, no
straps, a wide belt, and a swingy, chiffony skirt. He looked half
ready to be a bridesmaid, but I figured it was his night to be
himself, so I wouldn't criticize. I figured maybe I'd get to eat
some pussy tonight. I put on a tight black shirt and a long black
nylon skirt, way too much eyeliner, and pale gray lipstick, and
figured I'd eat some Goth pussy. We headed out the window at 10
o'clock.
We got into the club because we were foxy, and bouncers never pay
attention to foxy girls' IDs. The club was kind of dark, not too
full, and playing lame dance music. We both knew it, but Val let
the fact that he was a girl overcame his hatred for wack music,
and danced like a pro out on the floor. He was actually really
good at dancing like a girl, and I caught myself wishing he was
one, because he was turning me on. While I was thinking this,
though, a cute Goth girl approached me, the type for whom I was
on the prowl. We were making out on a couch in ten minutes. I'd
forgotten how good I was at talking girls into making out and
stuff, and had only been out of the game for a week and a half.
It felt great to feel up an actual girl. I lost track of Val.
When the place closed at two, I couldn't find him, and didn't get
much opportunity to look, because everybody was basically herded
out of the place like cattle. I stood around out front waiting
for him to come out, but he didn't; once I was sure nobody else
was left inside, I decided that he must be sucking a dick in an
alley next to the club or something, and went looking.
Well. He was in the alley next to the club, but he wasn't sucking
a dick. He was lying down kind of curled up. I figured he'd drunk
too much, and I'd get him up and drag him back home, but when I
got up close, it became pretty apparent: he'd taken a punch. At
least one. One eye was blackened and cut, and his lip was split.
I knelt next to him and cradled him. He came to a little and half
smiled at me, then hugged back.
"What the fuck happened?" I asked him, almost yelling.
I was bugging out. I just knew someone had read him as a boy and
taken hate out on him. I couldn't believe we were dumb enough to
think he could pull this off. What the fuck was wrong with us?
Why did we think he wouldn't be beaten? Why couldn't we have gone
to a proper gay club? I was going to hunt down and
ritualistically murder whoever the fuck had done this. I reached
into my purse and felt my Mace...
He looked up at me, one eye swelling.
"Jess. Never suck the dick of a guy with a big girlfriend."
Oh. On closer inspection, he really wasn't too beat up; somebody
must have hit him and left him, or maybe just gotten in a good
punch. This wasn't a hate crime. He hadn't been read. He'd sucked
off some guy, and been beaten by his girlfriend. He tried to get
up, but fell down; turns out he was also blind drunk. That was
more why he was in the alley than his eye. I thanked God I hadn't
been involved in the fight, or we'd both be in jail right now; I
fight like a caged rat. So he got up, leaned on me after all, and
we headed back to our room.
We slept like the dead. I got the story out of him the next day:
he'd gotten really drunk right away, and then this Hispanic guy
with a goatee kept buying him Long Island Iced Teas. His thought
process had basically been that people never bought him drinks,
and he never went out in public dressed like a girl, so tonight
was his night, and as such, he could lose control a little. So he
kept having his Long Island Iced Teas, and dancing with the guy.
He'd been clean and all, and actually dressed like one of the
guys from Swingers; Val said he kept expecting the guy to tell
him he was money, or a beautiful baby, or something
Val had used his silence to his advantage to try and be all
exotic; it had worked, and the guy, whose name he never got, was
entranced. Val had followed him to a little broom closet, sat him
down on a bucket, pulled down his pants, and sucked him off. Val
said the guy had a big dick, and that sucking it had been
everything he'd hoped, and he'd even let the guy come on his
face... I guess that's a common fantasy for everyone involved.
Whenever Sancho, as I'd decided the guy's name was, had asked Val
anything, Val would just hold one red fingernail up to his lips
and "shhh." But when Val had straightened his skirt, looked in
his compact mirror and made sure he was a presentable girl, and
they'd opened the door, there had been a big fat Hispanic woman
waiting outside. She punched him, hard, in the eye, grabbed
Sancho by the ear, and stormed off; Val had fallen backwards,
giving anyone who might have been in the narrow hallway a show of
his pink panties and white stockings, and landed on his back in
the closet. Then he'd gotten up, confused from being punched,
looking for the girl to beat her up, but been unable to find her.
Defeated, he asked some guy at the bar to buy him one last Long
Island Iced Tea, slugged it, and gone outside to find the
senorita. She'd been outside, punched him, hard, in the stomach,
and he'd collapsed in the alley. Sancho was nowhere to be seen.
That had been his big night. Sigh. At least he'd gotten to go out
in public.
Thursday school was uneventful, nobody even asked us about Val's
eye. It was overcast and gloomy, Val said he was glad it hadn't
been rainy last night. That afternoon I got an e-mail from Nona
at the computer in the library; she was clean and as rehabbed as
she was gonna get from the local church. She'd gotten my mail
about our plan to sub Val for her, hoped it had worked, and would
be sneaking into our room at some point tonight.
Val was crushed. He said he was glad his sister was okay and all,
but it was really fucking obvious to me that all he cared about
was the fact that he was going to have to stop wearing her
panties. He was all moping around like a little kid after opening
all his presents on Christmas. He wanted more. Christ, he'd
become so one-dimensional, once he'd started dressing up as his
sister. I started to get pissed. We went back to our room.
I told him how sick I was of his being so boring in his sister's
clothes, and being all-selfish, playing dress-up and being a
fucking lout.
I ranted: "Your sister's off dope, she's fucking clean for the
first time in God knows how long, and all you fucking care about
is yourself, and that you can't wear her skirts any more! You're
the most selfish bastard I've ever known! I thought your smug
little attitude had something to do with you actually being
better than other people, but know what? It's only because you
don't care about anyone but yourself! I am so sick of putting up
with your fluttering around, and your self-obsession, and your
affected girly mannerisms, and your attempts to be cute, and all
this fucking bullshit. Can you be real? I don't think you even
can. I just, I'm so sick of dealing with someone who isn't even
himself. Or herself. Or whatever the fuck you are."
As soon as I looked up from my rant, into those bruised eyes, I
knew I'd fucked up. As soon as I saw his eyes I realized the
other side of the argument: if I couldn't look at girls, ever,
just wasn't allowed to at all, and then suddenly had two weeks to
do it, I'd be in worse shape than he was, by the end. And he
hadn't been inconsiderate; he'd waited on me all that weekend,
while I'd been in bed. I have no idea why I reacted so violently
all of a sudden, but the fact is, the tears in his eyes, the ones
he wouldn't let out, biting his brown lips in and just staring,
fatally wounded... I was the worst person ever.
"You're right," he told me, turning around and climbing out the
window.
I didn't know whether to follow him or let him go, but the ache
in my stomach felt a lot like crying, and I knew it wouldn't go
away if I didn't follow him. So I disappeared out the window too,
in my pajama pants.
He looked silly on the side of the road, trying to thumb a ride,
with no cars going by; the school was basically in the woods, and
it was starting to drizzle. Of course he was wearing the dress
he'd been born to wear, the long thin black one he'd worn the
other night, in the library. His first real dress. His makeup was
running down his face, and instead of making him look like a boy
in makeup, it made him look like the saddest girl in the world. I
went to hug him, say I'm sorry, but he wouldn't have it, and
pushed me away.
"You're right. I'm fucked. I'm sick, I define myself as a sexual
deviance, I shouldn't care that I'm weird, but I do; how am I
supposed to get by in a world where this is me, and when people
see this, they want to fucking beat me? That fat Mexican bitch
was more right than she knew to try and punch me out. I deserved
it. Where do I get off sucking cock? There's nothing real for me
in this world; everything's fucked. I'm so fucked it's
ridiculous. Look at me!"
He plucked at his dress, hard. He was shaking really hard. He sat
down on the shoulder of the two-lane road. He looked at me for a
second, then curled into a ball. The rain started for real. The
sky was bright night blue.
I distinctly remember thinking that if this was a movie, the
camera would pan away, the whole thing would be over, and the
ending would be ambiguous. Then I remember thinking, in life,
there really aren't endings. Then I felt self-consciously
melodramatic and walked ten feet over to him. I put my hand on
his waist and he didn't even look at me, just cried, all quiet.
"Come on, kid, you're going to catch pneumonia," I told him.
I helped him up and all but carried him back to the dorm, and
helped him up into the window. He lay down, wet, in Nona's
smartly made bed. We'd slept in my bed the whole time he'd been
here. I talked to him.
"Look, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have yelled at you like that, I'm
an asshole. It's just fucked, that I was with you for almost two
weeks, and I don't even like guys. Me liking you fucked up my
whole way of thinking; I figured I didn't know much about the
world, except that I liked girls. Now I don't even know that. I'm
sorry, I really can't handle being with a boy, even a boy like...
like you."
I already regretted saying "a boy like you." I was just...
talking, trying to make sense as I spoke. It wasn't working.
He said, really quietly, "I'm so sick of being this."
He looked up at me. He wasn't crying anymore. He was wet though.
Soaked. His hair was plastered to his head, and he still looked
beautiful; for some reason, he reminded me of one of those
'Precious Moments' figurines.
"Now you're talking about your self. All anybody fucking cares
about is themselves. Even me, especially me. Me! This is me! I'm
a boy in a dress, this concept that's totally fucking trivial and
stupid, and yet loaded with hatred to most everybody, and yet
it's all I am. That's it. Everything else about me is predicated
on this idea of a boy in a dress. And I'm sick of it. And nobody
will ever understand except other boys in dresses, who are as
self-obsessed as I am. I'm so sick of being human. So fucking
sick of it."
If I'd been writing the movie that this was playing itself out in
my head as, I'd have let him stop being human. He'd've probably
become a cocoon and then a butterfly, because I'm cliched like
that. But at this point I couldn't even retort.
I hesitated, then: "Your sister's gonna be here soon. Do you want
to borrow a dress from me to wear... wherever? Where are you
going?"
"Fuck if I know. Fuck if I care. I've got a car. Maybe I'll live
in it until I starve to death. Yes, I'd love to borrow a dress.
Even though I feel like such a fucking faggot and weirdo in
them."
He was regaining his composure, except now he was all grim. I
didn't know what to do. Fuck it. I did everything I could, I gave
him a Sunday dress my parents had given me to wear to church,
which I hated, because it was so girly. Everybody's selfish. I
could give him that dress, because I didn't want it, and he could
fucking have it. I felt lost.
"I don't even want to see Nona. I can't handle that, I've been
wearing her clothes these two weeks, which I've been fantasizing
about since I was little. It'd be too weird for me. Thanks. I'ma
just wear this dress out, and hope I'll be OK. Tell her I say
hi."
He took off the black dress, patted himself sort of dry with a
towel, put on my dress, and climbed out the window. He didn't
even give me a goodbye kiss.
I lay on my bed and fell asleep, like you do when you're suddenly
depressed. I don't even remember Nona coming in.
