Selene Chapter 2

Printer-friendly version

This triggers a giggle fit from Yuki and she and Kim start discussing various outfits that they can get me in while I grab my medical papers and passport and head out. While walking towards the reception I get filled with a sense of dread. This guy is way too similar to that one customs officer. Medical reasons didn’t work on him and I get the feeling they won’t work on this guy either. On top of that Kim and Yuki have a history of trying to get me into skirts. Granted that was before they found out I was actually a boy but I’m not certain how serious they are this time. With a gulp I head into the reception office, Mr. Johnson is already there and he has a dark look on his face.

Selene Chapter 2

“Ah Alex, good you are here. I am afraid I have some bad news for you.” Mr. Johnson started in a somber tone while I felt my heart fell deeper. “I’ve talked to the owner and while he actually believes you without seeing your medical history he still can’t have you share with the guys. It seems that the perception of a girl sharing with guys could have some serious repercussions on his business if other clients spotted this, even if “she” is really a he. I’m very sorry but different arrangements would have to be made.”

I stood there frozen taking this information in before asking “But what do I do now? I can’t stay with the girls and now you tell me I can’t stay with the boys either, you’re not going to send me home are you?”

“Who said that you can’t stay with the girls? Like I just told you it was all about appearance, you sharing the girls’ caravan is fine by the owner. It might raise issues with their parents if we let a boy share their caravan unsupervised, but that’s easily solved by letting Miss Karen stay there as well. That way nothing untoward can happen, not that I think you would anyway considering your condition. Anyway this is what we are going to do, each caravan has three two-person bedrooms, Yuki and Kim will take one, You will take the second and Miss Karen will take the third. I have already written it down for you to show Yuki and Kim and Miss Karen will be by shortly to explain in person. Do you have problems with this solution?”

“No sir, this is probably the best considering, and honestly I’m glad to be out of Jordy’s way. I just hope that Kim and Yuki aren’t going to be too mad, I had the feeling they were looking forward to having their own rooms. I guess then that I’ll be going now, thanks sir.”

Just when I reached for the door Mr. Johnson spoke up again. “Oh one last thing Alex, I know why you couldn’t tell any of the guys, but Kim and Yuki are good girls, this is just a suggestion but I think it might be better for you to tell them. I really think that if you do that it will make for a less stressful trip. Take my advice however you want to.”

I nodded to these last words and headed back contemplating them. I decided I would tell them, Mr. Johnson was right Kim and Yuki could be trusted and being under such close scrutiny by them would make it hard to hide it anyway, and that’s even ignoring the makeover Kim wants to give me. In fact telling them might even guilt Kim in not doing that makeover so that’s another plus to consider.

As I approached the caravan Kim ran towards me and asked almost gleefully “Well, did you get this situation sorted or are we going to have a girl’s night in?”

“Well, I’m going to be staying here and we’re sorta going to have a girl’s night in, but probably not the way you expect it”

With this Kim gets a confused look on her face. “What do you mean with “sorta” and I am giving you that makeover honey, girls do not dress like you.”

I was getting a little bit irritated by this but I just smiled and said “Well, you’ll see what I meant in a short while, but regarding my clothes, I would say that girls would dress like this considering I have bought all of my clothes from the woman’s section for the past three years, that includes what I’m wearing now.”

Kim responded kind of flabbergasted at this “Wait… what, those are girls’ clothes? Now that you mention it they do seem to have a more female cut, but who would sell this style, wouldn’t they go broke? Also why are you wearing girls’ clothes in the first place, no scratch that why are you wearing THOSE girls’ clothes. I would think a cross dresser would like something a bit more feminine….”

“Well apparently the tomboy look is in these days, face it Kim not every girl wants to dress as girly as you two do. As for why I’m wearing girls’ clothes, they fit better; guys’ sizes don’t work for me. I’m not a cross dresser so I picked the most boyish stuff they had. As for why I need to do that, I’ll tell you AND Yuki in a bit, not fair to leave her out of this.”

Once we got in the caravan Yuki asked if I was OK and what the deal with my situation was. I told her that I would be staying here and that Miss Karen would chaperone us. I also told them I was sorry that I forced them to share a room after the euphoria that they would have the entire caravan to themselves. They told me not to worry about that and it would be fine, but soon Kim got back on my case about what was going on with me, she was really curious now and wanted to know.

“OK I’ll tell you, both for Kim’s sake as my mental health; I don’t think I can handle Kim like this for an entire week. However my issue is better shown than told, just give me a few minutes to change and get some stuff.”

I got my suitcase and went to my room to take out one of my bras. I figured that undoing my binding and showing that I had breasts would be the best way to start. However when I opened my suitcase it wasn’t what I was expecting, yes there were bras in there but also a variety of skirts and dresses and, more importantly, none of my pants. The very unladylike curse words I yelled at seeing this drew the attention of Kim and Yuki, them quickly knocking on my door.

Yuki: “Are you OK in there, it sounded like you got hurt?”

“Yeah I’m fine, physically at least. I wanted to show you in a different way but this might get the message across even better, you can come in now.”

Author's notes: Sorry for calling this chapter short, I originally wanted to clear the entire "coming out" so to speak in this chapter, but the building up to it took too much time to write so you'll have to do with a cliffhanger for now. I might get the next chapter out sooner, but no promises. Also comments are very much appreciated, as is constructive critisism. Also if someone can tell me how to properly order the chapters, that would be very much appreciated.

Hey, I'm old, cliffhangers

Hey, I'm old, cliffhangers are not good for my heart. :-)

well!

The reveal is happening and I feel it will go over well. And Amy has a lot to learn about girls. Girls dont always do dresses and show their bodies. Some are butch, some are tomboyish, a lot of different styles how they dress. What makes Amy an authority on girl's dress styles? :) But I feel she will learn more after seeing Alex uncloth.

But again, this is a snack for me, and leaves me very hungry for more.

Amy

Firstly I made a big oops and accidently renamed Kim Amy in this chapter, no idea why but I changed it back to Kim now.

As for how Kim's character came to life, I've read a lot of stories on this site where an old childhood girl friend transformed the poor intersexed lad / actual transgender into a very girly girl. Now while I can see that the transgenders would actually really really like that (I would, just not everyday), it always irked me when it happened to the "forced" situations. Of course part of this is a huge cultural difference, I'm not American or British and the concept of cheerleader was a silly American thing and girls in my highschool rarely wore skirts, dresses and make-up with some exceptions (Kim).

Likewise on the other side of the gender divide, boys could shave their legs and noone would bat an eye, and I always considered the protests of the protagonists in these stories to be a bit weird and exagerated since I found this no big deal. Until I went on Skype with some American friends and the topic came up, apparantly it really is a big deal in at least some states and I was pretty (culture) shocked when they told me that a guy shaving his legs really is "not done". Long story short where I'm from guys can be, and are somewhat expected, to be in touch with their feminine side while girls are generally much more boyish than American media would have you beleive.

Kim is my way to lash out a bit at the super girly norm most stories here portray, but that will become clearer along the way ;)

Appetizers

I Love me some Appetizers, and that's exactly what this is..... But I do as much like to dig into a course as well! Hopefully we get some courses soon, since this fine cuisine has made me hungry!

Perceptions

Some people still see perceptions as very important, especially businesses and some churches. And this is especially true in many "old countries." These kids may not fully understand these people's attitude, but when in Rome...

Is Alex in a spot, you bet, now that he's opened his supposed suitcase. As he was getting by how he was dressed, that came to a crashing halt when he saw what's in the suitcase. Since Yuki and Kim have been wanting to dress him, they should be okay with him dressing in the clothes found in the suitcase. But what about the others? And when did his suitcase get switched? And by whom?

Others have feelings too.

Look out below

Another CLIFFHANGER !

Karen

So either one thing or something else...

So, did he pick up the wrong suitcase, which amazing coincidence, looks exactly like his and has the same name owner, or his parents switched suitcases somehow when dropping him off for the flight, or a miracle has occurred.
