3. GEORGE TURNS 18 (3rd and final ''George'' story)

Chapter 5 - FOOTBALL AND MECHANICS

It was the weekend and time for George to play football. Jake, Julian, Chloe, and Julie all came to watch him play. He really was the best player on the team. He scored 3 goals! The other boys loved George 

''Well done George!''

''You're great boy, I wish I played as well as you do!'' 

At the end of the game, George tore his football shirt off as the boys were making their way back in from the pitch. His body now had no resemblance to a girl's body whatsoever. There were no boobs, after breast reduction surgery, just boy nipples. He had a six-pack and was athletic and fit. He had muscular arms from lifting weights.    

The five of them went to lunch in the pub

''I feel so bad leaving Timmy home alone for so long'' George said 

''George is Timmy ok recently?'' Jake asked with a worried tone in his voice ''he has not been himself recently, very quiet''

''I noticed that too'' George said with fear clearly noticeable in his voice ''I think it's because of his age, he is 16 now and ....well you know....he's not going to live forever..and....''

George stopped and gulped back half a pint of beer in one go

''I'll keep an eye on him and if he starts getting worse I'll take him to the vet and see what they say...''

Everyone sat in silence for a second

''Well, George what a stunning football player you are!'' Julie said at last ''There was me thinking I am a talented cabaret singer but you are even more talented than I am as a football player! You are way better at football than I am at cabaret George! And all your teammates love you, oh you are more successful in life than I could ever be, and only at 18 already, I am over double your age and you are already beating me hands down''

''It's not a competition Ju!'' George suddenly snapped unexpectedly

''Oh sorry I know, it's just...well...you really are such a successful person that's all. I'm sorry''

''I'm sorry to Ju, I didn't mean to snap at you''

''George you said you had some good news for us?'' Julian said

''Yes that's right, I just passed my final exams, now I am a fully trained mechanic'' beamed George

''Oh bro congrats'' Julian replied delightedly

''And the good news doesn't stop there'' George continued ''brother we're going into partnership together with our own mechanic business. I am going to purchase us a garage. Mum and dad are putting up some of the money and Jakey and I are also putting up some of the money to buy the garage, we have almost all of the money. Unfortunately, I am still £2000 short, I think I will take out a loan to cover the rest''

''No you won't'' Julie said firmly ''I'll pay the rest'' 

George gasped with shock ''Ju I can't ask you to do that'' he said ''You already bought a load of furniture for us. It's £2000, Ju, it's too much to take from you''

''Nonsense, it's fine. I want to pay and help you and Julian get your garage!''

''Well then let's say its a loan and I will pay it back as soon as I can'' George insisted

Julie shook her head ''It's not a loan it's a gift I will not accept the money back if you try to pay it back later''

The others all looked at Julie in surprise 

''Ju you're the most generous and kind-hearted person I know'' George said and hugged Julie 

''All I am doing is helping four very nice young people start out in life'' Julie said modestly ''And you are my best friends George and Jake, I adore the pair of you...and Julian you are a very nice young man too and Chloe you are such a nice young lady too. I want to help you all''   

''Thank you Julie'' Julian and Chloe said 

Within weeks George and Julian were proudly standing in their new garage

''Business partners, this feels surreal but also so exciting'' Julian said
