Everybody (the girls, their parents, mom and me) went to a children clothes shop in the most exclusive zone of the town. With our minivan (where I went along the girls) and the other cars, all of us looked like a caravan. On the road, I told mom about make-up.
"I suppose you want I use some kind of wig and makeup to look more feminine on the communion day, don't you?"
"Well, Cameron... Your hair is too short to look feminine, so... yes, you'll use a wig. But in makeup I'm still not sure about. I wanted something blingee..."
"Like the girls on "My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding"?"
"Yes" She said with emotion "But your skin is not accustomed"
"I think Cameron will look so bad with a makeup like that. Why not something natural? It's in fashion recently" Megan said "So, your skin won't suffer with too much makeup and you will look absolutely stunning"
"I like Megan's idea!" I replied, but this was the less worse idea for me.
The girls were talking about my dress. The girls and me had a agreement: no one girl would wear the same dress than other. However, it appears that everything agreed in how pretty will I am in my communion dress.
Finally, we arrived to the shop. The saleswoman had scared with all the little girls and her mothers. Mom said her
"I'm looking for a first communion dress"
"To which of the girls?" Saleswoman answered
"No, the dress is for my son" Mom said, appointing to me
She fell silent with that words for a moment, but she took a deep breath and answered to mom:
"There will be a trouble with your son's height. None of my dresses reach until his feet"
"There's no problem with that, miss. My son will use his dress with tights. My only question is... do you have puffy petticoats?"
"Yes and we have on your son's size"
"Perfect. Cameron, come with the miss to try on dresses and you choose the model you like more" Mom tell me while she gave me a pair of white tights.
Then, she went to the wardrobes and take off several dresses. I was in the fitting room, about to try on a lot of dresses... Where I put on the tights, I felt an incredible sensation, something electric, maybe because I'm hairless on the legs. They were soft and when I felt them, I wanted with anxiety to try and see myself on a dress
Almost 3 hours later, where Leslie, Kim, Brianna and Allison' parents approach to buy some accesories for their daughters, I came out the fitting room, wear a dress that he likes. It was a classic communion dress, long to the knees, fantastic... All the girls were amazed when they looked at me on the dress. Mom couldn't restrain her emotions. Her eyes was delighted while her lips drew a smile. Now, his antisocial son was in front of here eyes as a innocent and sweet little communion girl. The best moment came when the saleswoman put a white-pink headdress in my hair, together with a delicate and little veil. I blushed, again, when the girls told to their mothers "He looks so pretty" or "SHE looks like a little princess"
I was happy with the dress, and mom, provided that her new little girl was beautiful in the big day, paid the dress and accesories. After, everybody were looking for beauty halls to the makeup when I saw Brittany with Brook in a table at fast food court. They were kissing while he was taking Britt's hand and both were smiling each other, like that day at school. I felt my heart breaking on pieces when I saw that because I've never said my feelings to her. I wanted Britt were my girlfriend, but I came too late. After thinking on that, I turned back my head and I saw my new friends. After all, I was comfortable with all of them, but the sadness of that scene was hard for me.
Finally, everybody ate a delicious ice cream. I liked the chocolate ice-cream, and Alisson, Kim, Hanna, Jenny and Megan too. Anne Marie, Kelly and Celine enjoyed their strawberry ice cream. Only Brianna and Sophie prefer vainilla. I knew I have in debt with the girls so, I paid the ice creams of all.
In the car. I connected my smartphone. I already wanted to enjoy my music, but I didn't play any The horrors album, or the complete Back in Black by AC-DC. He had selected "Race for the prize", a beautiful The Flaming Lips song. While the song sounded, I reminded my past life, a sad existence between my room, the school or the nights away from his house, without any contact with almost another teens. I was always in my world... and I started to think in his new life, where everybody loved him, had real friends, helped to all and I was happy with all that, but I felt everybody started to see me like a girl...
A few days later, Mom bought me a pair of white tights (because the ones I used on the boutique were hers) and ruffled panties, but we had a last trouble: The shoes. She didn't know about if I would use high heels or Mary Jane shoes. Finally we found a pair of white Mary Janes with discrete heels that I liked.
The saturday, in the communion session on the church yard, the priest went to his office and there, Eddie, alog with a group of boys, said in an offensive tone:
"Look the girly-boy... hahaha... Where is your dolly? C'mon, or do you have fear to ruin your pink dress, sweet cupcake?..."
Then, Anne Marie said to the boys, with a sweet but loud voice
"You know that YOU MUSN'T MOCK HIM. He never got on with you but all the girls here are his friends..."
I interrupted Anne Marie "You are so sweet and brave, Anne, but I'm going to tell all of you something. The priest will know this and, the next saturday, I'm completely sure he will punish you for this, and your parents will do the same at your houses. I won't fight with you, but I think it's better for you to stop with this annoying things, don't you?. If you do that, I promise I won't go with the priest, OK?"
Eddie go out with the boys, and never, no one other boy on the groups made laugh of me...
