Before I could leave the School Mrs Jackson, the school counselor, stopped me “Jennifer, we need to have a chat” she said sternly taking my arm and leading me to her office.
“Please sit down, and don’t worry” she said pointing at a chair, I sat confused, who was Jennifer, why was I suddenly in trouble.
“Some of the boys heard you in the men’s toilet and have complained, I know you dress like a boy and like to call yourself Jon, but you know it is against school policy.” Makes Jackson explained in a stern but soft voice.
“But... I am a man” I stuttered, suddenly unsure, noticing my voice didn’t sound right. I started picking at my top, something not feeling right. I felt embarrassed and suddenly panicking at what Karyn’s wish might have changed.
“That is fine, you can call yourself a man all you like, but you cannot use the men’s toilet, use the disabled toilets if you don’t like the ladies, that’s why we gave you a key” she continued in a softer voice, obviously noticing the tears that had started to run down my cheek.
“Ok” I nodded, “can I please go now”, I asked.
“Yea of course, please don’t get upset, think about the other students, they don’t want to be put in an awkward situation either. The boys are not comfortable with you using their restroom, that is all, it’s for everyone’s good.” She continued.
I rose quickly “ok thanks” I replied awkwardly and skunk out of the room, rushing quickly to the disabled toilets.
I found a key in my pocket and quickly let myself in.
I stared at the mirror, was I shorter? Yes it was obvious now, the clothes had shrunk to fit my smaller frame.
My face was rounder too, smoother, with fuller lips and larger cheeks.
The itch in my chest drew my attention back to my shirt, quickly I unbuttoned it. Underneath I was shocked to find a smooth hairless chest and belly, with bandages wrapped around my chest. I swallowed hard, my mouth suddenly dry.
I pulled out my phone, Karyn would have to come to me and fix this.
