CHAPTER 2: Am I a Girl Now?
'Ding dong!' The bell rang. I hopped out of my bed and ran downstairs to answer the door. The 'amazon' van is right in front of my house and a guy was holding a packaging was at my door. I took the packaging and signed the papers. So the guy went back to his van and I ran to my bedroom and locked the door. I ripped the packaging, since I was very excited, and luckily, I got the right book. I have to admit that I bought some books about girls and some other girly things.
Again. The bell rang. I ran towards the stairs and my cat, Pepper, also ran to the door. Oh. I just realised its probably Aunt Lily because my cat, okay this might sound weird but, Pepper, can smell Aunt Lily. And Pepper hates me. So I ran downstairs and it is Aunt Lily, she was wearing a baby blue silk dress with a very nice white hat. She kissed Pepper for several times and I can see Pepper's happy face following Aunt Lily stepping into our house. Aunt Lily hugged me and kissed me. My mom came from behind and hugged Aunt Lily. Its been 2 months since Aunt Lily's last visit. She came all the way from London to California.
So I served some tea and cakes for my mom and Aunt Lily. Also myself. We talked and talked about Aunt Lily's new clothing line. She is a fashion designer and she always give me dresses and sweaters. She always give me advice about girls and she is very concerned about me being a tomboy and I guess it's gonna be a shock if I tell her that I'm changing. She will probably get too excited and dress me up and stuff. Wow. I better get mentally ready.
I helped her unpack some stuff in the guest room. And I am very nervous to tell her that I'm changing. But oh well, I did. Her face was priceless. She was so shocked, she cried, but then she started unpacking some dresses while giving me some advice on being a girl. Oh, Aunt Lily. We had a long talk about it and I also tell her about the stupid dramatic fight.
I am so excited to go to school tomorrow and see so many shocked faces at the school hall because I am turning to a 'real' girl and not a tomboy. I was so excited, I prepared an outfit for tomorrow which is a turquoise sweater and a pair of white jean shorts. I am pairing it up with a pair of pink converse shoes.
Today is the day. It was drizzling and very cold. Luckily, I prepared a sweater to go to school. I waited for the bus outside eventhough it was raining but I was so excited so why not. The bus arrived after 5 minutes of waiting and I sat beside Lea and she was shocked to see me wearing a girlish outfit. She screamed and the whole bus looked at us, which some of them saw me and screamed too. What a chaos Tuesday morning.
I walked at the school hall and people is literally staring at me with their jaw dropped. It was so awkward so we went to the cafeteria and joined Kate who is drinking the free morning hot chocolate, alone. Kate almost choked on her hot chocolate when she saw me. She asked me so many questions and I answered it with only three words. I don't know. But oh, how I hope the stupid drama will end today.
After a few seconds, Clara walked into the cafeteria and she decided to turn around when she saw me but she stopped and ran to me. She was screaming and hugging me. She said she was sorry and she was so proud of me for changing. I told you she will love it. And then we talked and talked at the cafeteria and the school bell rang, which means we have to go to our classes.
