It's not a secret... PT 1


Life is difficult for many of us at times, but it usually feels lime the end of the world in highschool... Take these four friends for example. They've been friends since elementary & that type of friendship is rare, valuable. Cameron & Adrian were getting ready to go outside with Tina & Amanda for the big game they didn't look like the band geek types, but that's what they enjoyed being apart of... As half time was about to begin, the band took their positions. Suddenly without warning as the sun was going down, power surge throughout the field shut off the lights. This sent everyone still as they looked around trying not to cause a panic when an enormous pulse shook the small stadium. The people screamed in horror as a moment later passed by the lights jolted back on... Suddenly large groups of people looked around screaming at the tops of their lungs trying to figure out what happened & what caused their bodies to become the opposite gender including Adrian... His friends & band mates looked at him in shock as his clothes no longer fit him & he was now a she. Not only that, but he was now a young petite Asian girl... Adrian quickly dropped what he could & ran away holding on to his pants & headed under the bleachers while everyone else ran away clearing the stadium going either home or to the hospitals near by. It was awful. Nobody could explain or prepare for such an act of spontaneous chaos. Cameron was able to follow Adrian under the bleachers, but as he hid in the shadows she told Cameron to stay back. He obliged her request... "Whatever is going on Adrian, we'll figure it out together. We're friends remember?" He was comforted by that fact, but as time went on... It was becoming less likely. Tina & Amanda didn't hang out with Adrian any longer. They kept to themselves & the other school peers. The only one who stuck with him was Cameron. Time after the incident changed them all. Cameron was either in detention or suspended from school for fights & accusations from his peers. Adrian would be forced to eat alone as some of the students stared at him & his new feminine features. Without his friends or even Cameron, Adrian was an easy target for bullying, even in rare cases from Amanda & Tina. In honesty that's what hurt him the most. Even his friends of so many years & to turn away from that bond was devastating. He clung to hope as Cameron stuck with him all the way to senior year. More fights occurred, Adrian would reign in Cameron when possible to keep him out of trouble & the bullies off his back. Adrian was moved by his actions, but when he felt that sudden tingle below his waist whenever he held his arm to pull him away from his next fight. The muscles that flexed through his arms stirred something in his new body that he was hoping never to feel. He hoped it was just another period, but it didn't feel the same... Was it...?
