It had only taken the girls a few minutes to pick up everything that Tom had dropped and put them back in the bag that Tom was carrying. Well, almost everything.
“What do you have next?” Jen asked Tom “I have a free period. I was going to spend it in the library.” Tom informed his new friend. “What luck me to but let’s fix that face of yours first. You really must start carrying some makeup girl.” Jen said to Tom as she began to dig into her bag and brought out some makeup and started to apply it to Tom’s face, just as she had done on the bus that morning.
Tom was too shocked or was that frightened to say anything as Jen spent the next few minutes applying a fresh coat of makeup to the cross-dressed boy’s face. “There you go.” She said “You look human again. You are lucky I had some makeup in my bag. I mean yours was looking not the best.” She said trying not to upset the new girl in school who was upset about something. “Before we freshened up your face you were almost looking like a boy.” She told him with a big smile on her face. A smile that was that infectious that Tom could not help but smile back at her. Jen then handed Tom back the bag that he had been carrying and the now four girls walked out of the bathroom together.
A few minutes later a small group of girls walked into the bathroom to use the facilities before their next class. “Hey look at this. It’s a boy’s ID card wonder what it's doing in here.” One of the girls said picking up the small piece of laminated card and showed it to her friends. “Probably someone brought their boyfriend in here earlier and he dropped it.” One of her friends said before taking the card from the first girl's hand. “Well, that is one boy who is never getting it back. She continued turning towards one of the cubicles and flushed the card away.
Then the bell went for the start of the next class and the girls forgot all about the card and started to run towards their next lesson hoping that they wouldn’t be late again.
Susan had used the last part of her lunch to check in with her Mom who had also not heard from Tom. This was not unusual; he had vanished from school before and it turned out that he had spent the afternoon in the house watching the TV. He had tried to lie about it when his Mom asked him about it but was easily found out and was grounded for the next two weeks.
Susan was told by her Mom that was about to go into a meeting which could not be rearranged to find out what Tom was watching but she assured her that his punishment would be epic this time. Epic was not the word her mother had used but what Susan had taken what she had said to mean.
