"Christina didn't even know that what she was telling me this afternoon, would s..set me off. Damn! even I really didn't understand! Geez I'm sorry for the curse word, but, but......." I scrunched my face tight and grimaced, "no.........she was only trying to be real nice by getting some other boys to walk with me along with, with Melinda......tha...that way I w..wouldn't be mistaken f..for," my voiced dropped to barely audible..... "a..a girl. I didn't want to be seen walking with her - because - I thought the other kids would think that we were just two.....girls walking together."
I sat silent for a minute - I heard nothing and didn't try to read Christina.
Besides, I had told her I wouldn't upstairs.
"No, only Christina knew, how afraid I was of how, how, I feared being looked at; especially when we walked together. I mean, even in elementary school I got teased alot. The other guys would always sing when they saw me, "you dress like a boy - but, you look like a girl." I, I don't think there was a single day, even from first grade, that I didn't get trashed. Golly, even my teachers would tell me how they couldn't tell the difference between us and how cute I looked and how I should've been a girl!
"Anyhow, that's part of the reason I acted like I did, but, but.......there's alot more." My body began to shake. "Mom - Dad, I like girls, really. I mean, they way they look, and dress and, and, I, uh, guess, how...s...sexy th...they look or can be! Gosh, I love the way they walk and can move their butts ever so slightly to send you over the edge! That they can crook their finger at a guy and turn him to mush! The clothes, so many, so different and so - so incredibly a turn on.....at least for me.
"B...but how can I even begin to show I like one or another when, wh...when...I really am not all there, and you know what I mean! I don't have much to impress any of them with in the working parts department! And, ohhh sure, the endo-chrono-logist is a real big help. Yea, I, I know I d...didn't s...say it right, but all he does is t..tell m..me that it w..will take t..time! He's a vampire! All he does is stick me with a needle and take my blood!
