"It's not funny" I pouted, crossing my arms over my chest instinctively. Least until the slight pressure on my breasts made me realize the feminine motion I was doing. My eyes widened; now I was starting to act like a girl. How long would it be until I started to like guys? I shuddered.
"Are you okay, Anna?" Zoe asked, concerned.
"No" I said, tearing up slightly. "I'm starting to act like a girl. I'm going to be stuck like this..."
"So you crossed your arms. Big deal. I still think you're better off at St Marys."
"What? "I demanded. I seriously felt like rushing back inside. Even the mall sounded more appealing, and I wasn't a shopper.. Zoe must had seen my expression and had grabbed my hand again. She seemed slightly nervous doing so. "What?"
"Ï don't want to be acting like your mother, but if that what it takes to prevent you from freaking out, rushing back inside, making some foolish wish that WOULD likely trap you as Anna, then that is what I have to do. There are worse things than your fear of pink dresses" Zoe said. in a mature way that I was certainly not used to.
"I'll behave" I said, unsteady, as I walked towards what I felt was my doom. I wasn't helped that we passed some boys from Lake Point, and they were staring and Zoe and I, like how I used to, "Zoe..."
"Relax, sis. They're staring at me, not you. You're too young for them. I'm not" Zoe said sourly. "Lets go. I'm not wearing the stupid uniform to be stared at by some moronic boys."
I nodded, While there was no chance of them recognizing me, it still felt like it. Plus, I didn't want to put my fear to the test, since deep down, I knew I would fail. I felt small, nervous as we arrived, since I felt like I was the new girl. "Do you think.." I started to say, but I saw Zoe was gone. Instead, I was rushed by two girls my new age. They were both very girly looking, their dirty blonde hair done similar to mine. Even the minimal jewelry was similar One of them grabbed me, and gave me a hug. It felt weird.
"Morning Anna" the girl said, much to much shock.
"Morning" I stammered, stunned that this girl knew me. What was going on? How did they know me? Was it some affect of this strange new reality? I barely heard the other's greeting, lost in my thoughts
"Annie? You okay?" the second one asked, snapping me back to reality.
"You seem out of it. Did a cute boy check you out?" the first one asked somewhat boldly.
"What? No!" I said, shocked that they thought I was thinking of boys. The second giggled, but before I could be interrogated by these two seemingly girly girls, the bell rang, signifying the start of class. I was initially relived, until a few seconds later, both of them seemed to had wanted me to follow.
