Part 6
Tommy started panicking the moment Kevin left the house.
"Mom, I can't see all those people that know me, looking like this!"
Tommy fidgeted. "What the hell will everyone think?"
"Tommy, if they are really your friends, they shouldn't care," said
Trisha, trying to calm him down. "I thought you were going for Kevin's
sake, and not theirs."
"Mom, I am, but it's so embarrassing," said Tommy, staring at himself in
the mirror "Look at me!"
Tommy looked at his hair pulled back into a simple high pony behind a
huge pink bow and it hung on his back in big loose waves. He was used
to himself in his cheerleader outfit and licked his pink glossy lips and
batted his thick lashes.
"Let's get moving," said Mandy. "We don't have time to worry about this
now. Today is the final practice before the competition, so we can't be
late."
"Wait one minute please. What is he talking about when he said everyone
saw my old photos?" Tommy stared at Mandy. "Mandy, what else got
posted? Please don't tell me that it's what I think it is?"
"It's no big deal Tommy?" said Mandy. "I doubt many people saw them
anyway. Come, let's just go to practice and don't worry about it."
"Mandy, show me!" Tommy switched on his computer. "I found out they saw
the newspaper article and now I have no idea what else. They posted
those pictures from the studio, didn't they? They just couldn't help
themselves from embarrassing me! Could they?"
"Well, yes if you must know." Mandy clicked open the browser. "But you
agreed to whatever they did that day, so just calm down, it's no big
deal. This will be over soon, so relax and just deal with it."
"I know. Thankfully in another day it will!" said Tommy, calming down as
he saw his profile picture of himself. "I look so ridiculous anyway in
all that makeup and curls."
"See, it's no big deal," said Mandy as she tried to get up now to avoid
further conflict.
"Wait, show me the other pics and my time line." Asked Tommy, taking the
mouse from her.
Tommy clicked on the other menu options and scrolled through a few
pictures.
"Wait, that looks like the first dress I was in, but that's not me,"
said tommy confused. "It's some little girl."
"See it's not you, so let's go." Mandy tried to drag him off .
"Wait a minute." Tommy scrolled through a lot of them now. "That is
Chuckie Cheese and my curly pigtails. And wait, that's you and my mom,
but that's not me. And that's the catholic school outfit and the charity
event. What is all this!"
"Tommy, it's no big deal but look closely at the face. It's you," said
Mandy. "They just used some software to make you look younger. Those are
all the pictures they took of you, but they modified them. They used
some age regression application."
"Holy crap!" Tommy was stunned. "I knew they use these as blackmail
pictures, but I never thought they would publish them, let alone make
them look so real."
"Well if it means anything, you would have been one pretty little girl
and I wouldn't take back these strange moments this week for all the
money in the world," said Trisha, hugging him with emotion as she
looked at all the photos. "Honey, after tomorrow all this stuff will be
over, so don't lose focus on what's important."
"What's important mom?" Whined Tommy. "You mean it's not important that
if anyone looks at this, I look like I've been in pigtails and dresses
forever."
"Stop, you know people that know you will know that that isn't true,"
said Trisha. "Now go and practice and just suck it up, because it's
almost over."
"I guess you are right mom," said Tommy feeling better. "See you later."
Tommy headed off to the final cheer practice with Mandy as he couldn't
stop thinking of the images of himself he saw on the website. As he got
to practice, he focused at the task at hand, acing his routine as they
worked on it over and over and over. Finally when it ended, he walked
with Mandy to their locker room and she brought him into a private
dressing stall.
"So this is just a something so you'll be comfortable in the dress shop
and at the hair dresser," said Mandy, unzipping the cheer outfit. "Just
go there like any other girl and no one will be the wiser. Trust me,
it'll be easier."
"Why can't I just go there in as a cheerleader?" Asked Tommy, surprised
as he stepped out of his outfit.
"You could Tommy, but understand women are caddy and judgmental," said
Mandy. "Do what I'm telling you and just go there like any other girl.
It's a busy Saturday and no girl would go for a fancy dress or to the
salon without putting herself together a bit. This will help you just
blend in."
"Ok?" said Tommy. So you are saying I have to get a little dressed up so
that I can get really dressed up fancy."
"Yes," said Mandy, giggling as she dropped a dress over his head. "Your
mom and I discussed it and we both were on the same page on this. You
two are going for a nice lunch before the boutique, so you've got to
look appropriate. I'm pretty sure you don't want to pass out on an empty
stomach tonight."
"I guess," Tommy agreed.
Mandy knelt and straightened the hem of the skirt as she inspected him
and then adjusted the delicate shoulder straps. She knelt, lifting his
right foot and sliding a little ankle sock over his foot and slipping it
into a shoe. She then repeated it on the left foot before setting it
down and standing up.
"Lean your head back for a minute and we'll be out of here," said Mandy,
walking behind him and pulling out his hair.
She took her brush to his hair stroking it over and over as he leaned
back. It was almost relaxing as she was wetting it and crunching it with
her fingers as she sprayed it over and over. She now dug in her comb on
top as he felt her create a distinct part on the left, and pulling it
back tight as he heard a snap at his crown. She then covered his eyes as
she soaked his head in a very wet sticky hairspray, and then began
teasing and scrunching his hair at the back of his head. She now came
around to the front and lifted his bangs with her fingers separating and
tugging at them with her pick as she saturated them with hairspray.
"Ok, a quick touch up and off you go," said Mandy, brushing some blush
on him and then a fresh coat of lip gloss. "Now you look ready to shop
and get your hair done. Have a nice lunch with your mom."
"Oh joy." Tommy felt the sticky back of his head before turning around.
"Look how pretty you turned out, even if you love being a pain in the
ass." Teased Mandy. "Now just enjoy a little time with your mom and I'll
see you later."
He looked at himself in a delicate flowing black and white polka dot tea
length dress with some very simple singular shoulder straps in pink silk
ribbon. At his waistline, the dress was highlighted by a matching pink
ribboned sash which was tied in a large bow in the back and on his feet
were some patent black flats beneath ruffled white ankle socks. His
makeup as quite simple, with creamy pink lips and cheeks and his lashes
were curled above his unlined lids. His very sticky hair had been
pinched by Mandy's fingers in behind his head, giving it a wavy
scrunched almost wet look in the back and in the front was parted on the
left side. At the right crown a matching pink bow-tie type bow held the
large section tightly away from the part, except for his bangs which
were still curled under but now heavily teased and separated, creating
some volume and puffyness off his forehead.
"I'll try, but it'll be weird having lunch with my mother like this,"
said Tommy as he stared at himself. "I look kind of youngish again
though, don't I?"
"Ah maybe just a touch, but your mom picked the dress so just go with
the flow," said Mandy encouraging him. "Honestly, and I know you hate
this, you're just naturally pretty."
"Ok, I think that's enough of that," said Tommy disgusted as they exited
the room. "Let me out of here before I get sick."
Ok, "I'll meet you later and we'll go together," said Mandy hugging him.
"Just go with the flow and I'll be there to support you tonight."
Tommy got in his mother's car and she took them to a restaurant down the
block from the dress shop. They parked and went in and sat down, as she
seemed to look him over and inspect every inch of him.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" said Tommy, wondering what she
was doing.
"Nothing really honey. Just soaking it in as I know it's almost over.,"
said Trisha. "Isn't that correct?"
"Yes, mom after the competition tomorrow, I'm done with this shit."
Exclaimed Tommy, raising his voice as some heads turned. "I am fucking
done with all this."
"Everything alright ladies?" Said a waiter, coming over and looking at
Tommy.
"I'm sorry sir," said Tommy embarrassed. "Everything is fine."
"Good then," said the waiter. "I would ask that you mind your manners
then, like the fine young lady I see before me."
"Of course sir," said Tommy apologizing. "I'm so sorry."
"I didn't raise you to swear like that, did I?" Said Trisha annoyed.
"Regardless of gender."
"Sorry mom. You're right, but it's been stressful and you know what
crazy things I've been through this week," said Tommy looking down.
"You know honey, I think I do, but I really can't be inside your head so
how about you tell me," said Trisha.
Tommy looked up at her as she smiled at him and began to empty his
innermost thoughts and feelings. He spoke about his triumphs and
challenges and worries. It got tremendously emotional as they spoke
about their financial situation, moving, and his mother's fears. He felt
her deep love and bond and he knew her caring was unconditional.
"Wow mom," said Tommy, wiping a tear from his eyes. "This talk. This
lunch. Well, it's amazing. I feel so close."
"Honey, regardless of the weird things you have been through, sometimes
in life things happen for a reason," said his mother also wiping some
tears now. "If it took a few curls and a week in dresses to get you in
touch with those emotions and spill them out to me, than everything
you've been through has been worth it."
"Wow, I guess that's so true," said Tommy shaking his head.
"Good, now that we've both dumped out our souls, how about you just let
this old lady enjoy whatever is left of her mother daughter time," said
Trisha sipping her drink.
"Of course mom," said Tommy, relaxed now.
Trisha now went on lecturing Tommy all about acting like a proper young
lady for the evening and lecturing him about etiquette. She tried to
help him relax when thinking about seeing a lot of his old friends who
would now see him in a dress.
They finally finished their simple lunch and walked to the dress shop,
going in together. Immediately Aimee greeted them, hugging him and took
him to the back and helped him off with his outfit. She returned with a
handful of undergarments and then returned twice with hangers full of
all different type of dresses. She dressed him in many different
outfits, as he tried on dress after dress. Each time walking out and
modeling for his mother and the other ladies in the boutique.
The dresses that came out seemed to be increasingly fancier than the
other as finally she let him redress in the polka dot dress. When he
exited the fitting room, he rejoined his mother as she was holding two
shopping bags in her right hand and a long black garment bag over her
shoulder.
"What did you pick?" Tommy was curious.
"It wasn't easy," said Trisha as they walked out together. "I could have
easily bought you five or six dresses, but in the end both Aimee and I
picked the same dress. I'm going to keep it as a surprise so you'll see
it after you get your hair done, but I'm pretty sure that Kevin will
feel like his money was well spent."
As they walked across and into the salon, they were immediately ready
for Tommy's appointment. His mother helped him change in the back as he
stripped down to his panties and slipped on a bathrobe. He was quickly
brought to a chair and wrapped in a black plastic cape as they leaned
him back, switching on the water. He couldn't hear the conversations but
watched his mother and his hairdresser having a deep discussion while he
relaxed as they massaged his scalp, washed his hair and cleansed the
makeup from his face. When they finished, they brought him to a chair
as he could see his mother being shown specific pages in some magazines
by two other hairdressers before seeing a lot of heads shaking.
"Welcome back Tammi," said Rebecca, standing behind his shoulders now
rubbing his hair with a towel. "Big night tonight honey, I hear."
"Well, just a sweet sixteen," said Tommy, downplaying it.
"Well not just any sweet sixteen, but I hear it's for your best friend
and he paid for your dress and this entire beauty regiment," said
Rebecca.
"Yes, he's a great guy."
"I'd say he's more than that honey. I'd say he's a keeper." Rebecca
grinned. "Any guy that spends that kind of money is ok in my book, and
maybe he is hoping for more than a best friend. Is he cute?"
"Rebecca, we're just very close friends. That's all," said Tommy, giving
her a look.
"Whatever girl," said Rebecca, shaking her head . "But you didn't answer
my other question. Is he cute?"
"Girls seem to like him, if that's your question," said Tommy avoiding
the question as she combed through his hair now.
"And you?" Rebecca prodded him.
"He's my best friend," said Tommy, looking at her in the mirror.
"Ok, honey," said Rebecca giggling as she waived over Trisha. "So your
mom and I discussed your dress and some ideas for your look tonight. She
wanted me to surprise you. You game for that."
Tommy looked at the reflection, seeing his mother and grinned. "Sure,
she knows what's best for me."
"Love you," said Trisha kissing his cheek. "See you in a few hours.
You're in good hands."
Trisha left the salon as Rebecca rolled over a cart and began mixing a
few bowls.
"So I heard my friend Mandy is a makeshift hairdresser," said Rebecca
as she took her rattail comb sectioning his hair and sticking in a few
clips.
"Yes, she's like my personal stylist," said Tommy making conversation.
"Well, I like what she's done, but what I'm going to do now is take it
to the next level Tammi," said Rebecca. "Hair, makeup. The whole look
honey. Trust me when I'm done with you, your boyfriend's jaw will drop
open. Now open for me okay."
"I told you, he's not my bo--". Said Tommy, as Rebecca jammed something
in his mouth mid-sentence.
"Sorry Tammi," said Rebecca. "We'll talk more later. The solution was
ready, so I had to get it in before the paste drips. This is just to
whiten your smile, so just breathe through your nose for a while."
Rebecca was now joined by another older woman who began handing Rebecca
foils as she tugged at his hair before saturating a small section with
her brush and folding it over. She repeated this time after time as
Tommy could now see his head filling with tin foil as she worked.
Finally she stepped behind him, working as a third woman joined them and
began covering his face in a green substance. When she finally stepped
aside, it was freaky to see his green face and silver foil covered head
as the ladies seemed to abandon him for a moment. Rebecca now took him
by the hand and brought him to another station as he sat down in a large
leather chair. She returned, rolling a stand with a series of heat lamps
over his head as one of the other women slightly reclined his chair and
placed some items over his eyes, blocking his vision. He felt his feet
being submerged in warm water and someone beginning to work on his left
hand.
"Tammi, now just relax and let us make you beautiful," said Rebecca.
"You're in good hands with my assistants."
Tommy sat as he could feel the pressure around his fingers as his nails
were being worked on. He wasn't sure exactly what was happening, but he
knew the massaging around his fingers and toes was extremely relaxing.
After quite some time, he could feel the warm air as his hands and toes
were being cooked, apparently under some dryers.
"Keep your fingers extended and touch nothing, honey," said a woman,
slipping some flip flops on his feet and he felt something rubbery
keeping his fingers separated.
He was lead back to the sink and sat back as they removed the foils and
began thoroughly rinsing and washing his hair, before they finally
wrapped it in a towel. He could see some light now as they removed the
peels from his eyes and looked up, seeing the green mask being stripped
from his face. A warm towel was now placed over his face an eyes as a
hot sticky substance seemed to touch his forehead. They now placed his
hands on a table on each side of him as he felt pressure on each of his
arms.
"This is just so you won't jerk honey," said the voice. "It'll only be
for a moment, but these look pretty neglected for a girl your age."
Tommy jumped as they held his arms as he felt the ripping pain on his
forehead as the girls held him and then repeated it. He then felt little
pinches as they seemed to work slowly now as he bit down hard on the
mouthpiece, breathing through his nose. Finally the released his arms as
they took the towel from his eyes and inspected their work. He watched
as the tweezers again dipped down toward his brows, obviously making
some final adjustment as they told him to sit up and led him back to
Rebecca's chair. He was a bit stunned seeing his reflection as his
former simple and neat brows were now nothing but a thin arched line. He
looked down at his hands as the girls removed the separators, seeing the
thick square white tip of the extremely shiny French manicured nails
which now protruded 1 ? inches past the base of his fingers.
Rebecca returned, spinning his chair away from the mirror as she removed
the towel and began brushing his hair away from his face. She seemed to
insert clip after clip as she began trimming as he could see some small
snipping of wet hair on his cape. Finally she brushed them off and
dipped her fingers into some styling product before rubbing it into his
hair in sections, and began inserting some 1 inch rollers. Slowly but
surely she created six rows of curlers across the back and sides of his
head, before turning her attention to the crown. He could see her now
take some very larger green rollers and felt her pull his hair upward,
winding it down tightly and securing it against his scalp. She seemed to
do this about a dozen or so times before turning her attention to his
bangs, where she simply curled them under with two large pink plastic
rollers.
"You're nails turned out so pretty, right?". Said Rebecca as he looked
down at them as she wound a hairnet tightly over his rollers. "Come on
sweetie."
She brought him against the wall now and dropped a bonnet over his head,
setting the timer.
"See you in a bit," said Rebecca, handing him a few magazines.
Tommy fingered through them fairly bored, as he felt the air change
temperatures a few times as he tried to be patient. He reached up,
feeling his bare skin around the thinness of his eyebrow and stared as
his long nails.
"You've never had them that long before, have you?" said Rebecca,
lifting the dryer and checking his hair after about forty minutes. "Once
you get used to them and how pretty they look, you'll never want them
short again. Trust me. Ok, let's get you back and get your makeup done."
Tommy walked back over and sat down in Rebecca's chair as she opened a
large makeup case and began dotting at his face. She used a series of
large and small sponges as she blended and dotted over and over. When
she finished, she began brushing powder all over his face before she
turned her attention to his eyes. He watched as she opened different
false lashes and measured them on his lids before doing some small
snipping. He opened and closed, batted and squinted following her
commands as she lined and glued and coated his lashes and lids
repeatedly. She seemed to be an artist at work as she dipped her small
brushes into the various colors on her palette, blending his eye shadows
and then across his cheeks.
When she finally closed the large case, she again powdered his face
before stepping back and lifting his chin admiring her work.
"OK, open as wide as you can and we can take out this mouthpiece now,"
said Rebecca as he was relieved to be able to speak.
"Are we almost done?" said Tommy licking his teeth.
"Smile big honey. Beauty takes time my dear," said Rebecca lining his
lips. "Ok, good. Now this will just sting a little."
Rebecca rubbed a gel over Tommy's lips as he sat there feeling the
tingling.
"It's just a plumper," said Rebecca. "Ok, now let's get back to your
hair and we'll finish your makeup later."
Rebecca now began removing curler after curler on the back of his head
and then taking her fingers separating them. He watched as she opened a
drawer filled with hair pieces and grabbed a large handful, placing them
on the counter out of his sight. He could feel her scratching just above
the nape of his neck and then heard a few distinct snaps as she again
appeared in front of him, grabbing a curling iron.
"Didn't you curl my hair already?" Whined Tommy, growing tired of being
there now.
"Your hair holds curls well Tammi, but that doesn't mean they are
perfect like they will be when I'm done," said Rebecca, hard at work.
"Plus, I'm adding some wefts for dimension and volume and they have to
be curled and blended."
"Oh ok I guess," said Tommy, hoping it was near the end.
"Don't mind her Rebecca," said Trisha, returning now. "She gets anxious
when she knows it's almost time to go out."
"Me too, girlfriend," said Rebecca. "But always remember, never skimp on
the hair or makeup when you have a big event like this one. Plus I'd
never let you out of my salon in that amazing dress you picked without
looking absolutely perfect."
"Your nails turned out so beautiful," said Trisha, holding out one of
Tommy's hands as Rebecca continued working.
Trisha seemed to be studying Rebecca's work carefully and making small
talk to keep Tommy's mind occupied as Rebecca was finally turning her
attention to the sides of his head. Between the constant tugging and the
almost gagging every thirty seconds of continual fumes, Tommy sat there
quietly listening to his mother and Rebecca babble. She stood in front
of him now with a mouthful of pins between her teeth as she teased
little sections of his hair at the crown, before dipping in a large flat
iron and pulling at some sections. On top of his head ,he could feel the
constant tugging and then snapping as she stood in front of his face
every so often, pulling a pin from her teeth and lifting his hair with
distinct tugs. She would step back and then carefully insert her large
barrel and quickly hit a spot with some spray, followed by some hot air
from the dryer as the worked never seem to end. Finally she seemed to
stretch his bangs with the flat iron before circling him thoroughly in
spray again as he looked at his mother's seemingly permanent smile.
"Almost there princess," said Rebecca, lifting his chin as she now
opened a smaller pink case and took a dark red pencil. "Smile big again
please.
She lined the outside of his lips before squeezing a small tube onto
his lips. She took a tiny brush spreading the gel as she stepped back
judging her work. She then dipped her finger into a clear gel and just
dotted it onto the middle of his bottom lip, before finally taking a
paint brush smoothing it across his entire lips.
"You can dress her now Trisha, and I'll make any final adjustment when
you come out." Rebecca said, satisfied.
Tommy got up as his mother whisked him off to the back room before he
could see himself.
"Mom, I didn't even see myself'. Whined Tommy as she helped him off with
his robe.
"I know dear," said Trisha. "I want to see the entire effect myself as
well. Sorry, you'll see it in 5 minutes."
"Hey, sorry I'm late," said Mandy, rushing in.
"Wow!" said Tommy, stunned at seeing her. "Holy molly!"
"You look amazing, Mandy." Squealed Trisha..
"Thanks," said Mandy, giving a little curtsy. "But let's get our friend
here ready or we'll be late."
Mandy's hair was precisely slicked back into a perfectly coifed French
roll ,with a few delicate old fashioned finger rolls in front, and a
thin straight strand on each side. Her makeup looked expertly done, with
thick simple lashes and a deep red lip color on top of her flawless
complexion and rosy cheeks. Her dress was an emerald green strapless
gown leaving nothing to the imagination as her full large breasts were
on display above the tight mermaid style dress that flared out as it
dragged across the floor. Her right leg peeked out of the dresses side
slit, showing off her open toed emerald stilettos as she knelt to help
Tommy on with his undergarments.
She first rolled a black sheer thigh high stocking up his right leg and
then followed with the left. As she pulled them up firmly removing any
wrinkles, Trisha stuck some small adhesive strips on the outside of the
bottom of each of Tommy's breasts. He looked down wondering what she was
doing as Mandy quickly cupped his small flat chest, pushing his breasts
towards each other as Trisha added a clear thick strip holding them
oddly.
"Ok, suck it in missy." Teased Mandy as she fastened a black strapless
bustier around his waist and began snapping the clasps behind his back.
His mother now adjusted the inserts as she positioned his breasts as he
could oddly feel the bustier pushing at them. He felt the cool breeze
down below as Mandy dropped his panties to the floor before he stepped
into a matching black silk thong as he felt the odd sensation snap
between his cheeks. He felt the tugging at the bottom of the bustier now
as Mandy fastened the little garters to his stocking as his mother
brought over the garment bag. She unzipped the bag as he saw the immense
burgundy dress being removed from the hanger and lowered for him to step
into.
"I didn't expect you to pick this one mom," said Tommy, surprised as it
rose up his hips.
"It was unanimous honey," said Trisha. ""Unless you were hoping for
something skimpy."
"It's beautiful, Trisha," said Mandy, admiring it as she zipped it up.
"Wow and I love the shoes. I'm jealous."
Mandy now lifted Tommy's left foot, sliding on his shoes and immediately
he wobbled as she buckled the strap around his ankle.
"Don't lean back dear," said Trisha, grabbing his arm.
"Hold my shoulder," said Mandy, now buckling the other as she finally
let him balance.
"I can't walk in these." Whined Tommy. "These are too high, mom."
"Oh please," said Trisha, snapping a bracelet on his wrist. "They're
just a touch higher than you've worn before. You'll get used to them in
no time."
"He's so elegant," said Mandy, stepping back as Trisha fastened a
necklace on him now.
"Isn't he?" Smiled Trisha. "Come on dear."
Tommy slowly followed his mother, stunned by the size of the dress he
was in as he walked outside into the salon. As he entered, he was
greeted by a round of gasps then a series of huge hugs before he could
even see his reflection. When the hugs broke, he could see himself
across the room as he slowly walked to the full length mirror near back
of the salon.
"Oh boy." He whispered to himself as he approached, seeing the dress
sway with his movements, followed closely by his mother and Mandy.
He took small cautious steps in the spikey stilettoes as he approached
the mirror. His dress was a maroon red long ballroom princess style
which swung like the liberty bell as walked across the room. It had
seemingly layer after layer of delicate see through black lace above the
thick rich looking maroon satin skirt before it pinched dramatically in
at the waistline below the strapless embroidered bustier in sparkling
black and clear rhinestones. It was the bustiest he ever looked as his
chest was pushed and taped in place above the silicone inserts, making
him appear to have small yet perky breasts.
"Smile, you look beautiful Tammi," said Mandy, putting her arm around
him for support as he stared at himself.
"I just feel so...," said Tommy starting to speak as he caught himself
mid-sentence opening his mouth. noticing his teeth.
He stopped as he was stunned at how white his smile looked as he studied
his now pearly whites surrounded by his plumped thick ruby red shiny
lips. which had never before stood out like this. He knew he was wearing
more makeup than ever before. but it didn't seem over done and his eyes
seemed so much bigger with his long thick lashes framing his dark smokey
eyes. He reached around his back, tugging at his long thick mane which
he knew was not all his. He could feel the pressure against his scalp as
he gave a gentle tug on one of the long thick spiral curls which flowed
down his back in various tones and highlights. He reached up his left
hand, softly feeling his right eye brow with his long nail tip, and then
nervously twirled one of his thin loose ringlets that hung in front of
his left ear.
"They look better Tommy," said Mandy, comforting him. "I would have
tweezed them earlier in the week for you if I knew we'd be getting this
dressed up, but you're better off with a professional."
"I was hoping they were kind of hidden under there." Whined Tommy. "This
is nuts. The dress. The makeup and look at my hair. It's like double the
size and has all this color in it."
"Honey, it's just some clip in wefts underneath your real hair," said
Mandy. "I use extensions like this all the time. They just clip in and
out and it allows for some length and body. Rebecca mixed in some darker
brunette ones to really make your highlights stand out."
"Yeah and I think she accomplished that," said Tommy touching it and
feeling sick as Rebecca came over.
"Don't you just love the dimension it gives you Tammi," said Rebecca,
pulling his hand away and carefully placing the curl back in place as
she fussed with his hair. "You have such gorgeous features, so working
on you was a pleasure sweetie. I think when you take the extensions out,
you'll see how pretty the platinum and honey highlights will look by
themselves. You make a beautiful blonde, but I think you should consider
growing out your bangs if you want a more mature teen look, or I could
take you shorter and we could do something edgy with them. I have them
basically plastered to the side for a sweep type look and be careful not
to pull on the top curls, because I've got a ton of pins hidden under
there. Now be still so I can put this in and stack curls on top and you
can be out of here."
Rebecca pulled Tommy face downward as she picked at his hair again. She
took a comb tightly against his scalp just at the top of his head,
digging it in a few times and then he could feel some weight and a
number of pins. She lifted his chin now, moving it right and left as she
inserted more pins.
"It's not too much right?" said Trisha, looking at her son.
"No, it's a boy's party so it's fine," said Rebecca now covering his
eyes as hairspray filled the air. "I do a lot of smaller ones like this
all the time. If it was Tammi's party, we'd go big but I think this will
be perfect for a male friend's party. If it was another girl's party,
I'd say it would be a little tacky."
Tommy finally opened his eyes as the spray in his face dissipated into
the air seeing Rebecca behind him lifting and spraying the back of his
head. He sucked in some fresh air seeing the small glittering simple
tiara now on top of his head as he watch Rebecca increase the volume of
his curls behind it above the tiara.
"Have fun tonight girl," said Rebecca finishing now as Mandy grabbed
Tommy's hand.
"Time to go," said Mandy. "Your chariot has arrived, princess."
Trisha quickly hugged her son and handed him his little purse.
"Remember, it's Kevin's night," said Trisha, dabbing a little perfume on
his neck. "Don't be nervous, just blend in, and Mandy will be there for
you."
Mandy dragged him outside now as he saw a small white limo. They hopped
inside as he sat there amazed, not expecting this at all. After about a
twenty minute ride and a non-stop confidence talk from Mandy, they
finally arrived at a large catering hall. As the driver opened the door,
Tommy stepped out ,surprised to see Kevin holding out his hand greeting
them.
"Wow. And I mean wow," said Kevin, looking Tommy up and down. "You girls
look incredible!"
"Thanks, I guess," said Tommy shyly, as Kevin proceeded to put a corsage
of mini red roses on his wrist.
"Well, this is a lovely surprise," said Mandy as he put hers on her.
"You look very handsome Kevin and congratulations."
"Thanks," said Kevin, holding out his forearms. "Shall we ladies."
Tommy was shaking as he took Kevin's right arm and Mandy took the left.
He held on tightly as he trotted proudly into his party as everyone
began clapping. Kevin took them over to his table as they sat down and
he socialized with many of his guests. Tommy sat there quietly for ten
minutes with Mandy, until Kevin's mother came over to see him, greeting
him with her arms wide open.
"Hello dear'. Said Kevin's mother Rita, as he stood up, hugging her.
"Hi Rita," said Tommy, as she almost smothered him hugging him. "It's
nice to see you. This is my friend Mandy."
"Wonderful to meet you Mandy. Should I call you Tammi now honey?"
Whispered Rita in his ear.
"I guess for tonight," said Tommy shyly.
"Well, you girls look amazing!" said Rita, shaking her head in
disbelief. "Tommy. I'm sorry dear. I mean Tammi you look incredible. Who
would have thought! Your hair is gorgeous and those shoes! And what a
dress honey!"
"Mom, what are you doing?" said Kevin, coming over.
"Nothing dear, just saying hello to your dear old friend," said Rita,
giving her son a look. "A dear old friend that has grown into a teenager
more beautiful than I could have ever imagined."
"Thank you," said Tommy softly as Mandy nudged him.
"Have fun tonight girls," said Rita walking away.
"You ok," said Kevin, worried about his friend as he touched his hand.
"I'm fine, go enjoy your party," said Tommy.
"Ok, see you in a bit," said Kevin.
A number of his former teammates now came over and said hello. They did
nothing more than make quick small talk and then headed to the other
side of the room, trying to avoid eye contact as the moments were
extremely awkward on both sides..
"Come on," said Mandy, getting up. "Let's go get a drink."
Mandy and Tommy went to the bar, walking past more of his former
teammates as he looked away. Mandy smiled at them as she shook her head,
knowing how uncomfortable both the fellas and Tommy were as she could
see them look him over. They ordered two alcohol free strawberry
daiquiris and stood there sipping them as a group of girls approached
them.
"So you look beautiful Tommy'. Said a tall brunette with two other
girls. "Or would you rather be addressed as Tammi?"
"Hello Margret, Claire. And thank you Bonnie," said Tommy. "It doesn't
matter. At this point I answer to both. This is my friend Mandy."
"So, I must say this is quite a surprise," said Margret. "But looks like
you made a wise choice from the looks of you. That's some dress!"
"And I love what you've done with your hair, Tommy," said Bonnie
touching it. "Very pretty."
"Thanks, but that was Mandy and my mom's doing. Especially my mom when
it comes to picking the dress," said Tommy. "Plus the hairdresser they
found for me. I don't know much about this stuff."
"Me either ,but I do know a good hairdresser when I see one, and looks
like you found one," said Bonnie fluffing her hair. "Would you mind if I
tried her. I do remember your hair was quite a bit darker wasn't it?"
"It's changed a little yes," said Tommy, defending himself. "But it was
always long."
"Yeah I remember it flowing from your helmet. I always thought that was
a sexy look," said Margret, putting her finger to her chin. "And now
look at it flowing from that pretty little tiara. I would have never
have guessed."
"Oh Margret, please! He makes a lovely little blonde, but to me he was
such a little cutie in pigtails. Your pictures were beyond adorable
honey," said Claire flicking her wrist. "Who knew you've been into being
like this for so long. If I would have known, you could have come to one
of my tea parties or shopped together when we were younger."
"I think we should go sit down now Tammi," said Mandy stepping in.
"I'm sorry we didn't want him to be uncomfortable," said Bonnie. "But
all this is quite a shock, so how about you tell us how all this
happened?"
"Well, it's a long story but not something I can talk about right now
girls," said Tommy.
"You can't talk about it!" Bitched Bonnie. "You show up here strutting
around in those fuck me pumps and the big lips wiggling in front of our
boyfriends in that dress and all that hair and you can't talk about it!
That's bullshit."
"Strutting around?" Whined Tommy. "What the hell are you talking about?"
"Hey, calm down over here," said Kevin stepping in. "What's happening!"
"What's happening! Ask your little fake blonde bimbo friend," said
Claire, storming off. "Maybe if I dressed like the prom queen and
strutted around the room, you'd pay me some attention."
"Claire stop," said Kevin. "What the hell are you are talking about? You
are being ridiculous! You are making a scene!"
"You're right, Kev! I'm sorry," said Claire, as she stormed away. "But
we can't all cut off our dicks to get your attention like little Miss
Tammi."
Everyone stood silently as Kevin turned and walked away. Some of his ex-
teamamtes now came over to Tommy, awkwardly saying hello but just making
small talk as the night became really uncomfortable. After a few
minutes, Mandy and Tommy went outside, sipping drinks for a while
killing time until Kevin came out.
"Please just come sing happy birthday," said Kevin. "I'm sorry about
Claire and the nastiness."
They came in and all celebrated with Kevin as everyone was fairly calm
now. Everyone sang happy birthday and then went back to partying. Tommy
again hung out with Mandy quietly until Kevin barged in and took his
hand.
"Come on," said Kevin, pulling him from his chair. "Just one dance.
Let's go."
"No way." Tommy resistied. "I can't dance."
"Good, neither can I!" said Kevin, pulling him off to the dance floor as
a slow song began.
With his best friends hand around him, Tommy watched all the eyes
looking over at them as he slowly spun as they danced. It was the
longest three minutes of his life, feeling numb to his friend's touch on
his back with his head positioned on Kevin's shoulder. As it ended,
Kevin gave a quick smile looking his friend in the eyes and released his
fingers from between Tommy's as he gave a little bow, holding hands.
"See, it was nothing to be nervous about," said Kevin as he kissed his
cheek. "Everyone here with a few small exceptions, supports you."
Tommy looked up now as he was receiving some applause from the crowd as
Kevin escorted him to his table. He sat there with Mandy as finally the
party ended and everyone headed out the doors.
"Wait, can you guys come with me for a minute'. Said Kevin ,waving Mandy
and Tommy his way.
They followed him through a series of corridors and then finally outside
to a dark private garden.
"So, I just wanted to thank both of you privately for coming", said
Kevin, taking a hand from each of them and looking at them. "I know this
was super hard for you, but it meant the world to me. Plus I'm thankful
for Mandy in getting you here and honestly it was good for everyone to
see how beautiful you've become."
"Kevin, look everything is not as it seems," said Tommy, starting to
confess as he looked at Mandy. "It's just that with school and a
potential scholarship and our monetary status.. well I -".
"It's cool. No matter what it, its cool," said Kevin putting his finger
on Tommy's lips.
"I'll give you two a minute," said Mandy, taking a stroll across the
garden.
"Ok, so Claire thought I cut off my penis, but that's not true at all."
Tommy babbled. "After tomorrow's competition things will change again
and be normal for me. Hopefully we can just be best friends again when
I'm out of this big dress and these curls and all this crazy stuff."
"Sssh and relax," said Kevin, putting his hands around Tommy's face. "It
is fine! Curls or pigtails, dresses or cheer costumes, heels or
sneakers. It doesn't matter to me is all I'm saying, as long you are
happy."
"No Kevin," said Tommy laughing. "You are not understanding. I shouldn't
be saying this, but what I'm saying is that I'm still a guy under all
this hair and makeup."
"I know that silly, but what I do know is that your mother was right
when I heard her tell you that you were special and that moments like
these are special," said Kevin as Tommy gave him a confused look.
"Moments like these are not made to be wasted."
"Moments?" said Tommy confused.
"Yeah, like the moment of your first kiss," said Kevin, quickly dipping
his friend and placing his lips on his.
Tommy was in shock as he felt his best friends lips on his and then even
more surprisingly his tongue rush into his mouth. He glanced over,
seeing Mandy looking shocked as she was witnessing the deep wet kiss as
Tommy now began to struggle for breath as Kevin lifted him upward.
"Well not as romantic as I had hoped for, but wow that was sensational,"
said Kevin, looking right into Tommy's eyes as he finally released him.
"I can't believe we did that," said Tommy, feeling his lips. "Holy shit
Kevin."
"Me either ,but it was amazing! Your lips are so soft and full and your
smile is so bright and white. You're just so beautiful." Said Kevin,
nervously licking his lips. 'I knew you wanted your first kiss to be
special and romantic. I was hoping it was. Was I wrong?"
"What? Wait a minute! Who told you that?" said Tommy, almost crying.
"How did you know that was my first kiss?"
"Well, I kind of overheard your mom talk about it!" said Kevin. "Plus I
was pretty sure you never kissed a girl."
"We gotta go," said Tommy, motioning to Mandy as he headed for the door.
"It's no big deal," said Mandy, quickly kissing Kevin's cheek as she ran
after Tommy. "It's just been an emotional and difficult night. I'll call
you in the morning."
Mandy caught up with Tommy as they hurried out and jumped into the
waiting limo.
"You ok?" said Mandy with her arm around Tommy.
"Ok, are you kidding?" said Tommy, still stunned. "My best friend just
kissed me. Not only did he kiss me, but he stuck his tongue in my mouth
and made out with me and I couldn't do a damn thing to stop him."
"It was no big deal Tommy."
"I'm not gay. I'm not into guys Mandy," said Tommy. "It was still a
guy."
"I know honey," said Mandy, lifting his chin as she looked at him.
"Problem is you just happen to look drop dead gorgeous tonight."
"It's crazy," said Tommy, throwing up his hands. "Fucking nuts. I just
never dreamed I'd be the one kissed instead of the other way around."
"Close your eyes," said Mandy, kissing his neck now.
Mandy now swung her leg over his dress and started gently kissing his
mouth. It was soft and sensuous as it got hot and heavy before he found
Mandy's tongue in his mouth and then his in hers. It lasted a few
minutes before she finally broke it off and then sat back down next to
him now, smiling as he looked at her.
"Feel better now," said Mandy, opening her purse.
She opened her compact, dabbing her mouth with a tissue and then
repaired her lipstick and then handed it to him. He looked into the
little mirror before wiping her lipstick off his teeth and then she
fixed his gloss.
"Yes, but you didn't have to do that," said Tommy, rubbing his lips
together.
"I know but I wanted to," said Mandy smiling as she squeezed his hand.
"Just don't tell my boyfriend or he'll want a threesome."
They both cracked up as the car finally pulled up at Tommy's house and
they got out. They went in and changed into their nightgowns as Mandy
helped Tommy off with his dress and undergarments. She sat down next to
him them removing pin after pin and his tiara before unsnapping his
extensions and taking a series of makeup remover sheets to his face.
When she finished, they were asleep in no time.
"Wake up and take a shower dear," said Trisha, shaking Tommy awake. "Big
last day for my Tammi."
Tommy took a nice long shower and blotted himself dry before slipping
into the red silk panties lying on the vanity and then his simple white
bathrobe. He walked downstairs, seeing Faith and Mandy with their heads
full of curlers sipping coffee with his mother and sat down smiling as
he saw them.
"Morning," said Tommy, sipping his juice as Mandy wasted no time getting
up to brush his hair. "You guys been up long?"
"Ah, like two hours now," said Faith, pointing to her head full of
curlers. "We figured we'd let you have your beauty rest after last
night."
Mandy now sprayed in some de-tangler as she quietly sectioned and combed
out any knots. When she finished she wrapped it turban style as Faith
stepped in doing his foundation while she went through her usual routine
plugging in devices.
"Why is everyone so quiet today?" said Tommy.
"Just a little sad this is our last session making Tammi beautiful,"
said Faith chiming in. "We've gotten accustomed to the little wench."
"It's been tiring, but fun," said Mandy, smiling before pulling off the
towel now.
"You've been lucky to make such good friends honey," said Trisha. "And
I'll miss my daughter as well. It was a strange but nice week."
"I'm still here mom," said Tommy, as the blow dryer was switched on now.
"It's still me you know."
"I know honey," said Trisha, getting teary eyed as she kissed his
forehead and left the room now. "I've got to go get dressed ladies."
Mandy brushed through his hair as she fully blow dried it now. She used
her large clips ,sectioning as she began inserting hot rollers at the
base of his neck. He sat there patiently as she carefully filled the
entire back of his head as Faith began lining the inner his lids. They
worked in tandem as they always did as Faith worked her artistry on his
face before he knew the familiar sound of hairspray on the back of his
neck.
They took a brief break, inspecting their work as Mandy tapped his
shoulder to get up and removed his bathrobe. He knew the drill too well
now, seeing the formal red cheer costume being unzipped from its garment
bag and removed from the hanger. Like a good patient, he stood
motionless as the cold gel bra was placed over his arms and snapped on
his back and before he knew it the familiar feel of the zipper moving up
his back sealed him into his cheerleader costume like any other teenage
girl. He sat back down now as the plastic cape covered the outfit to
keep it clean and fresh as Faith again did his makeup, blending his eye
shadows. Mandy now took the fun job of slipping on his little ankle
socks and double knotting his sneakers as his false lashes were glued
and triple coated with mascara. He sat there patiently as Mandy and
Faith took turns leaving the room and each returned now dressed in their
red uniforms with their makeup expertly done.
Mandy returned her attention to his hair, combing through his bangs and
then twisting over and over at the scalp directly behind them. When she
finished she reached into her bag, ripping open a package and slipping a
thick red sequin cover headband over his head as he felt her snuggly dig
in its combs, scraping his scalp. She turned her attention to Faith now,
removing her rollers and picking at her hair.
"I can't believe I'm letting you do this, Mandy," said Faith as Mandy
brushed her hair in front of Faith's eyes.
"Stop Faith or they'll be crooked," said Mandy, snipping now as Faith
cringed. "It's called teamwork. Cooperation! Unity and support!"
"It's called insanity and I haven't had bangs since 4th grade," said
Faith, giving Tommy a look as Mandy twisted at her hair now with her
back to him.
Within a few minutes, Mandy took another red sequin headband and slipped
it onto Faith before turning and winking at Tommy. Faith now looked,
shaking her head at Mandy and proceeded to pick through Mandy's hair,
removing all the rollers. She combed the super long strand in front of
Mandy's eyes and with a few snips was holding the long piece in her
hand.
"Ok Unity it is then," said Faith, twisting at Mandy's hair before
sliding on the red sequin headband. "Unity and a few years to grow them
out."
The girls spun around now looking at Tommy as he saw their new bangs
perched on their foreheads. He smiled as Mandy took her brush and then
curling iron to his bangs as Faith brushed at his lips.
"Ok my sisters," said Mandy, pulling off his cape. "Let's go win this
thing and then we'll grow them out together."
Tommy was stunned as the three were in identical costumes, makeup, and
hairdos as he stood up running to the mirror. Their new bangs were
perfectly curled under like his, and behind them each of them had a
series of four small tight braids which faded into their large red
sequin headbands which fronted a mass of thick wild curls down their
backs. They were all overly made up with thick lashes and huge red
glossy lips matching their red cheer outfits as Trisha appeared smiling
as she saw them.
"You girls look adorable together." Said Trisha surprised.
"Yup, we are sisters today," said Mandy, hugging them as Trisha snapped
some photos.
"NOW LET'S GO WIN IT." Yelled Faith as they headed for the car.
Tommy had never been so excited in his life for something to actually
take place, as he could not stop thinking about getting his normal life
back. As they got there, it was all business as their coach warmed them
up and drilled in her final instructions. Tommy listened to everything
that she asked and began the competition with his team. They performed
flawlessly as the girls and football fill-ins all knew their routine's
inside and out. They waited as the other teams performed their routines
and then waited for the judges. The team sat on pins and needles as
finally the decision was rendered. Unfortunately, their team finished a
close second as everyone hugged and shared some tears.
"Tommy, you were amazing," said Mrs. Klein. "I want you to know that the
door is always open if you ever want to return to the cheer team. You
are a special person."
"Thank you Mrs. Klein, but my plan is to go back to football now," said
Tommy.
Mandy and Faith hugged him again, crying as they were sad it was over.
"I'm going to miss Tammi," said Mandy, looking into his eyes as Faith
walked away now.
"Well, maybe you can still get to know Tommy though," said Tommy,
smiling at her. "The ride home was pretty special for me."
'It was but I'm not sure," said Mandy. "You know I have a boyfriend and
right now I need some time to sort all this out. It was wonderful, but
for now let's just enjoy today ok. Plus I think right now you've got
another relationship thing to deal with."
Tommy looked up, seeing Kevin approaching with a large bouquet of
flowers.
"Not just beautiful, but talented," said Kevin, kissing his cheek.
"Thanks," said Tommy, feeling odd accepting the flowers. "So I didn't
know you were coming, but thanks for everything. Look tomorrow all this
is over I'm going to call you and we can catch up and I'm going to tell
you everything ok?"
"It doesn't matter Tommy," said Kevin. "You're my best friend no matter
what."
"But what happened last night." Stammered Tommy. "I know I just took off
and I owe you an explanation. It was my first kiss and I was just
stunned and it was you. I didn't expect it and well."
"It's cool," said Kevin, kissing his cheek. "We'll talk tomorrow but
everything between us is perfect. We're best friends and that kiss is
our little secret. Good night now."
Tommy didn't know what to feel now as he strangely felt jilted by his
first male and female kissers. He turned around, seeing his mother
speaking to a small group as his eyes widened, seeing her waving him
over. They headed for the car as she put her arm around him until they
got in.
"You did fantastic honey," said Trisha. 'It's been a crazy week, but I
have to say I've truly enjoyed it."
"I know you have mom," said Tommy. "But thankfully it's over."
They headed into the house as Tommy was absolutely exhausted. His mother
helped him out of his cheer outfit and wiped off his makeup. She helped
unpin his hair and then happily he put on a pair of simple white briefs
and ratty t-shirt before bed.
"Get some rest and I'll get you up early. We'll wash out these curls and
soak off those nails'. Said Trisha.
"Sounds good," said Tommy, falling sound asleep.
In the morning, his mother stormed into his room, ripping the sheets
from his bed.
"Hurry, get up," said Trisha. "Brush your teeth and get right back out
here."
"Ok," said Tommy rolling out of bed. "Did I oversleep?"
"No, just hurry," said Trisha.
Tommy went to the bathroom and brushed his teeth. He returned quickly as
his mother wasted no time pulling his t-shirt over his head. Quickly,
she slipped a simple white shirt over his head and had him step into a
pair of jeans. She dropped some basic flip flops on the floor and
quickly pulled his hair into a pony as she tugged him from the room by
the hand.
"Did I have to get dressed for breakfast." Whined Tommy.
"Yes, we have unexpected company'. Said Trisha, dragging him down the
stairs. "You're not dressed, you're just barely presentable but there's
no time."
Surprised, Tommy entered his kitchen seeing Mr. Steuben with two other
people sitting at his kitchen table.
"Good morning," said Mr. Steuben."
"Good morning sir," said Tommy nervously. "Hello everyone."
"So Tommy, you and I have talked a lot so I feel comfortable enough to
say I'll cut right through all the bs," said Mr. Steuben. "We watched
your competition and came away very impressed. I've seen you in football
and cheerleading now and our university believes you are a great fit for
us. We give out 5 specialty full scholarships each year, and I am here
to offer you one of them."
"Are you kidding!" said Tommy, almost jumping from his chair. "That
would be like a dream come true for me sir."
"Well that's not all Tommy," said Mr. Steuben. 'You see we pride
ourselves in helping underprivileged yet talented unique young people
like yourself, and part of our program is designed to help with your
transition. A transition that would start immediately, as we would allow
you to take some basic credits, as well we would help you with
everything so that the minute you move to your dormitory, then you would
be better equipment to cope and really be more comfortable."
"Sounds amazing! Where do I sign. It's everything I ever wanted," said
Tommy, grabbing the documents.
"Honey, I think you better read and understand everything," said Trisha.
"I'm not sure you understand dear."
"Tommy, we are talking about a full scholarship and assistance in your
transition. We don't know how far you want to take it, and it doesn't
matter to us. Your therapist will help you decide that," said Mr.
Stueben.
"Why do I need a therapist?" said Tommy, as he stopped rummaging through
the documents.
"All young people like yourself do. Whether you think you do or not, we
believe you need one," said Mr. Stueben. "College is a big enough
transition, let alone one where you transition your gender."
"Tommy, they offer 5 scholarships a year to transgender students," said
his mother. "That is what they are offering you. You would be living
with others who are transgendered."
"Wait, what are you saying I am?" said Tommy, confused.
"It's nothing to be embarrassed about, we have many like you Tommy, and
our school does not label people," said Mr. Steuben. "Just not as many
who are talented athletically and academically like you?"
"Wait, and that is the only type of scholarship you are offering?" said
Tommy. "Am I hearing this correctly? You are offering me this because of
what you think I am?"
"Yes, that's what we have been evaluating you on," said Mr. Steuben. "If
you are not interested in entering that type of program it's ok, but
that's why we are here. We think you are beautiful, and talented, and
intelligent. We'll give you five minutes and then we'll need an answer,
because if you're not interested, I'll have to offer this to another
student this afternoon. I brought Britney in case you had any student
type questions. She's a junior and she can answer every day stuff."
"Maybe later," said Tommy, confused. "Right now this is a lot to
absorb."
"Well, I'll be out here with Mr. Steuben if you need to ask me anything,
but it's an amazing school," said Britney. "I know a lot of this might
be hard on you but if you come to our school, I'm sure you'd love it.
Just so you know, I live in the dorm with kids that have issues like you
do, and it's no big deal. In our school , it's normal. You transition as
slow as you want or some just stay as tyou are. No one judges you. It's
very cool."
He looked at his mother, wiping a tear from her eye as the group left
the room for a minute.
"Well that didn't sound so bad, then," said Tommy. "Maybe I could just
say I'm doing it and then just say I changed my mind."
"Maybe, but I really don't know honey," said Trisha, putting her arm
around him. "All I do know Tommy is that this is a once in a lifetime
opportunity. I support you with any decision you make on this one, but
just realize I don't think another scholarship like this is coming."
"I know that mom," said Tommy. "I realize that this might be my only
chance to go to college."
"No honey. You would definitely get other chances," said his mother,
rubbing his back. "This most likely will be your only chance for a few
ride though. Understand, you'll be paying back student loans for many
many years. I'm still paying mine now."
Tommy's eyes teared up heavily as Mr. Steuben re-entered with the
ladies. Tommy gave one last glance at his mother and took the pen,
signing the documents.
"I'm happy for you," said Mr. Steuben. "So let me confirm you are
comfortable with everything then."
"Yes sir," said Tommy, wiping more tears from his face.
"Ok well, congratulations again and I'll be off now," said Mr. Steuben,
colleting all the documents. "Nurse Jane will take a some blood and do
your physical, and then Britney can answer any other questions you may
have."
"Sure, I guess," said Tommy as the nurse handed him a hospital type
gown and turned her back.
Tommy dropped his jeans to the floor and pulled off his shirt as
everyone spun away. He changed quickly as she waited no time, then
taking a vein and removing some blood.
"Calm down sweetie. College will be the time of your life." She said as
checked his pulse and heart.
"Oohh." Whined Tommy as she gave him a quick injection in his left
cheek.
"Your tougher than that, aren't you. Now say Ahh," said the nurse ,as he
stuck out his tongue and she dropped some pills in the back of his
throat. "Relax and swallow honey."
"Gross," said Tommy, whining as he sipped some water. "I hate pills."
"It's no big deal. You'll get used to it," said the nurse, packing up
her stuff. "You can change now. I'm finished."
"Ok now don't be shy, because I've seen it all honey," said Britney,
unraveling the little ties on his gown. "This is just a little present
from our school and I'm dying to see how it looks on you. Now close your
eyes."
Tommy nervously closed his eyes as he felt the garment being pulled over
his head and arms. Within seconds he felt the cold zipper on his back as
Britney spun him around and hugged him.
"You are going to be perfect for our school," said Britney smiling as
she stepped back looking at him. "You're so adorable."
"Thanks I guess," said Tommy, looking down at himself in the college
cheerleader outfit.
"It fits pretty well," said Trisha, smirking as she looked at him.
"Well, we had all the measurements, so I think it'll be ok for now. Oh
wait, I forget this," said Britney, snapping a big bow in his hair. "I
figured it would be a nice welcome present and also he'll be working out
with the team during the summer breaks and recess. How cute is that."
"Wait, I'm on the cheerleader squad already?" said Tommy, as Britney
admired his image.
"No silly, but you will be," said Britney. "You signed up for it and the
camp today. I guess you didn't read that but it doesn't matter, because
they recruited you heavily for the team. Don't worry about it, you're a
natural. It's better to take your time anyway, because your body needs
to adjust and you get sore sometimes."
"I don't get sore working out," said Tommy. "Cheer is easy for me. I've
always kept myself in shape'.
"You know, as some of the hormonal changes occur ,it takes a bit out of
you, but you'll adjust," said the nurse.
"What changes?" Whined Tommy.
"Honey, the dose we start with is very high to get you rolling, so
expect some cramps and discomfort," said the nurse. "Genetically, I
think you resemble your mother a lot, so I think in time you can expect
to have what she has."
"Trust me, I could not have imagined how I'd turn out but look at me
know," said Britney smiling and posing.
"Wait, you are transitioning?" said Trisha.
"Yes, of course." Britney giggled. "Sorry, I thought you knew. Yes I was
Brad three years ago, and look at me now. It takes a few months before
you'll get your change of name documents in the mail, but Mr. Steuben is
pretty good with all this paperwork."
"Wait, you're a guy." Tommy couldn't believe his eyes, seeing her
perky boobs and round body and whatever she said stunned him.
"Technically, yes," said Britney, smiling. "But I don't label myself and
neither does our school. You'll be able to be whatever and whomever you
want Tammi."
"Well, you look fantastic Britney," said Trisha amazed. "I think it will
be a huge asset to have a friend like you."
"Thanks, here's my cell number honey, and I'll be chatting with you
soon," said Britney, hugging him as he felt her firm boobs against his
chest. "Congratulations again."
"Thank you again," said Trisha as they headed out the door.
"Oh, one last thing," said Britney as she rolled down the window. "Buy
some good bras because for me that was the worst part if I didn't get
good support, and your mom's are quite a big bigger than mine. It'll be
uncomfortable for a while but obviously they're worth it. See you soon
Tammi."
"Crap," said Tommy, grabbing his chest in horror.
"Oh, and I almost forgot," said Britney looking at her phone. "We have a
planned dinner in two weeks. You can bring your boyfriend if you want.
He's really cute that Kevin, or if you're more comfortable just come
alone. You could also come with that guy you know Jimmy, because he
accepted our scholarship offer as well. It never hurts to come with
someone you already know. In a few minutes I'll text him and tell him
you accepted as well. I'm sure he'll be pumped, and it seemed like you
two had some chemistry. Anyway, my last bit of advice is not to get too
tied up with any boys, because I'm pretty sure you'll have no issues in
that area. See ya soon."
"Looks like we won't be soaking off those nails then will we."? Said
Trisha, staring at him. "You're going to need some clothes!"
