Bunny - Kenjorine - Transition

Chapter 21

Kenny smiles at me. A cute, lovestruck smile.

"So cute..."

"What?" He tilts his head.

"Nothing, just thinking out loud."

-

Karen takes us to the kitchen. A bunch of ingredients are set out.

"What's all this?"

"I bought the stuff for that meal you cooked for us last week. You said you had fun so I wanted to let you cook tonight... thought it might make you feel better... I didn't know any other recipes but I remembered this one..."

I hug her tightly, "Thank you..."

She hugs me back. It's like she's my real little sister.

"So... Will you cook it? Are you up for it?"

"Yes. I would love to."

-

I cook the meal and set it out on the table. Just three plates, apparently their older brother is at some college party tonight.

Kenny holds my hand again, "I hope someday you'll cook like this for me in our own house. Like a family."

Karen raises an eyebrow. "Hey. She IS family."

I turn to her, "Really?"

"Of course!"

I smile at her. Family... That's nice...

I go back to school on Monday. I decided to take a short break from school after what happened. I ended up telling my parents about my identity and they were pretty calm about it. My dad didn't say much, but he didn't get mad like I thought he would.

I was able to talk to the school counselor and request a name change. He agreed and my name got put in the system as Marjorine.

Kenny picks me up from my house so that we can walk into the school together. I'm scared, but I know if he is next to me I will be fine.

I get in his car and he smiles at me. "Hey, lover."

"Hey."

"Are you doing okay?"

"I'm nervous. But you're here so everything should be okay..."

"You got this. I'll be right next to you the whole time." He leans over and kisses my forehead.

"Right."

We get to the school and park. Kenny takes my hand, leading me into the school.

He squeezes my hand, "Ready?"

I squeeze back, "Ready."

We walk into the school. I can feel people staring at me.

We get to class and the first person I see is the teacher. He gives me a look of distain. Kenny takes me to my seat and I sit down.

"See? You got in just fine. The hard part is over, you made it in."

He goes to his seat and class starts shortly after.

-

Everything is going smoothly. People stopped caring about my presence after an hour or two.

At lunch I sit at the table I usually sit at. Cartman isn't here so it wasn't too stressful.

Kenny looks at his friends after he sits down, "Are you guys going on that feild trip this weekend?"

Kyle nods, "Yeah man, my mom was part of the planning committee so I kinda have to go."

I'm confused. "What feild trip?"

"You didn't know? This weekend there's a senior field trip to the water park in Denver. Any senior can go, you just need permission from your parents."

I turn to Kenny. "Are you going?"

"Yeah. A free trip? I can't refuse that."

"Then... I guess I should go too..."

"Will you be comfortable with that? Showing your body?"
