"It hard to believe you're really a guy" Megan giggled in the car, seeing the results of Mel-devised makeover; you in a skirt, tights and a v neck top. Your hair is hanging loose, in a slightly wavy curl. You shudder slightly, wondering if it was such a good idea bringing her along. She seemed happy to see you so feminine looking and you imagine her dreaming of mall trips.

"Relex Jess. There is no chance of anyone thinking you're John" Hayley said, smiling. "Since you're so reluctant, we decided to come here. We know you love this place. I hope your taste buds haven't changed." You look and see mom has taken you and the girls to your favorite pizzeria.

"Mrs H. Jess has to watch her figure" Megan teases as you enter, knowing its your favorite and nothing would deter you from coming here. You turn to her, shaking your head. I'm a witch when like this. Forget all that weight crap. Mom orders and found you, and the girls taking. "So what happened while yolu was away?" Megan asked Hayley.

"At witchbloom? As I told you, Lucy was my teacher. She's really my age, but she is concidered a 'rising star' in the community. She done a year teaching, did a tour on that island, and now is here" Hayley said.

"Should we talking about this stuff?" Megan said nervously. She spotted a few kids from school, including a few guys. Good that Jess hasn't noticed them looking at her. She'd freak

"Its okay" mom reassured her.

"Okay. Lucy actually decided to take us on a girls' night out of her own. Only we were all 23."

"Which you will not be repeating" mom warned.

"Why?" Mel asked

"As you can imagine, some guys are desparately asking for their beer turned into vinegar, or their lame pick up lines directed at them. We had to learn to deal with it.."

Lame pick up lines... you think as you look around and see a few guys watching you. You shudder slightly, remembering the wedding gown at the airport, before you suddenly feel angry. Megan sees you and cringes. Before you can do anything, you here the door open and a familiar voice call out. "What are you doing here, you pathetic bitch...' Its Kristy Hart, cheerleader bitch. She hates the younger kids at school and Megan most of all for some reason. You figure because she is easily the youngest member of of the cheer squad. You're somewhat grateful, yet shamed, that attention is drawn away from you, and onto megan.

"Sorry Kristy. This is a pizzeria. They don't sell mirrors..." Megan said, turning towards her. A few giggles come from the crowd. She turns to you. "Who are you and why are you hanging out with her? She's barely out of the pee wee squad. If you want, I can get you on our squad and get rid of the baby... "

God. I almost prefer the jerks. And she must be mistaking me for someone Hayley's age you think. Its a reasonable assumption, since your figure is more like Hayley's than Mel's, much to Mel's annoyance. "Actually, I'm younger than Megan. So are you saying you want to recuit more 13 year olds?"

Kristy looked at you, before storming off to a booth. Once you're finished your pizza, and back in the car, Megan turns to you. "thanks jess" she said, giving you a hug. "Mrs H. Can jess come over for a sleepover tonight? Mel and hayley too."

Say no

"Sure"
