So my little sister never had much friends at school. Some kids were always bullying her but this time they went too far.
"Let go of me!" Cj yelled as a few older kids were pushing her around.
She was six and I was ten... Those guys were definitely around my age and Cj was about to cry when they pushed her into the mud.
"Leave her alone!" I shouted as I ran up to them and they started laughing.
"Awww, the big sis is standing up for her little sister." Jay said and I ran to him, grabbing his shirt and punching him.
His friends (Mal, Evie and Carlos) were laughing, the teachers... not so much.

Cj and I were called to the principals office, they would call our father. I knew I was in trouble, especially when my dad actually showed up.
I sunk back in my seat and he looked at the principal.
"What did they do?"
"She beat up one of the guys from her class." The principal said as he pointed at me and my dad grabbed my arm, dragging me out of the room, Cj followed us quickly.

"So you beat up guys now huh? You've always been a tough one... How did I never thought of this before." he said as he pushed me forward, while we were walking home.
"Thought of what before...?" I mumbled and Cj looked at me with concern and confusion.
"From now on you're not longer my daughter, from now on you'll be my son." he said and my eyes widened.
"I- what...?"
He took me to the marketplace and we started shopping for boy clothes and shoes in my sizes.
Cj was very confused but she stayed around us, which was probably for the best.
"But dad I-" I tried but he wasn't going to change his mind.
I would be his son, whenever I wanted to or not.

Cj was confused when my dad threw my girl clothes into a box, putting it on her room.
"You can use them when you're older, you stay home, understood?" my dad said and he grabbed my arm.
"Now, let's make sure you get a haircut."
"Dad please-!" I said, I didn't want to.
"Oh hush Harriette. Or should I say, Harry." my dad said as he dragged me along to Tremaine's curl up and dye.

"Well Hook, I'm suprised to see you here with your oldest daughter... again." Tremaine said and I swallowed.
"It's my son. He just needs a haircut." my dad snapped and he told her to cut my hair off.
Tremaine grabbed a pair of scissors and my dad pushed me onto the chair.
I really didn't want to piss him off but to have Tremaine cut my hair off...
Tremaine's hand slid through my hair and I heared the scissor snip multiple times, freaking me out on the inside.
I bit my lip and my dad seemed satisfied with the results.
"Good." he said shortly as he paid Tremaine and we returned home.

For the first time in years, my dad seemed to care for me.
He even smiled at me. He was so happy that I was now his son.

Cj looked at me with visible confusion and my dad looked at her.
"Oh stop it Cj. He's your brother, so stop whining about it." my dad said.
He forced me to get changed into some guy clothes and he added my last set of girl clothes to the box on Cj's room.
I looked at the reflection of myself in the mirror. But it wasn't me.
Harriette Hook was dead... Harry Hook was now here.
My hand went up to my hair, feeling it to make sure this wasn't a nightmare.
Tears welled up in my eyes but I blinked them away.
Dad cared for me now, I was his son.
He was even acting nicer to my little sister...
I looked at my room, it was still girl-type decorated. But dad said he was going to let someone change it when I'd be at school tomorrow.
Yea, my dad would probably make mr. Smee change it.
I sighed.
Going to school as Harry? What would school get to know about Harriette then?
Would they think Harriette was dead? I mean thanks to my dad, she technically was...
