Fortunately, it took a few weeks before he would return to school. Documents etc. were needed. Perhaps the mother would come to her senses.
They were at the table.
Mike: This afternoon Daniele is coming over, we're playing together.
They had been in class since elementary school, the friend was aware of the current problem.
Agnes: Nicole has a boyfriend! Nicole has a boyfriend!
Mike: What? No! He is a friend!
Elisa: I was saying that at your age too young lady!
He turned red.
Agnes: Oh my God! Now we can play princesses!
Mike: I mean...
He didn't know what to say to her. He used to answer her that he was playing girl games.
Elisa: You should act like a good big sister!
He opted to point to the goodness of the younger sister, he could not contradict his mother.
Mike: Little sister, do you really want this today? Are you sure?
He saw her smiling sympathetically and then immediately sticking out her tongue.
Agnes: Let's be princesses!
He saw with horror the pink princess costume. Feeling out of breath, she slipped it on along with a pair of pink heels.
Elisa: Look what mom got you!
He saw a makeup bag and a brush. He held back tears.
Mike: Thank you mommy...
He already had long hair of her own. He let her mother do his makeup. Foundation, eye shadow, lipstick, pencil and even mascara.
Agnes had an identical little dress but was much less made up.
He had to pose with his little sister and they took lots of pictures. Then unfortunately for him came the friend. He embarrassedly opened to him.
Mike: Don't say anything...
His hair had been done, he had long, shiny brown hair that fell to his shoulders.
Daniel: I didn't recognize you... But you can count yourself lucky, really feminine!
The mother went to work. They arrived in the room but the play had disappeared.
Agnes: Are you looking for something?
Daniele: You are dressed alike, how cute!
Mike turned red.
Agnes: My sister is blushing!
Mike: Where is the play? - he asked Mike.
Agnes: You have to do something if you want it!
Mike: Come on!
He saw Daniel walking away. After five minutes he heard them...
Agnes: Nicole! Come here princess!
The friend was dressed as Prince Charming and the situation seemed to amuse him.
Mike: Why did you accept?
Daniele: I just have to dress up as a prince, it's different for you....
Mike: A little more awkward!
The mother entered the house, she had forgotten some papers.
Elisa: What's going on?
Agnes: They are doing prince and princess! They have agreed to dance!
Elisa: How cute Nicole! Thank you for making your younger sister happy!
He felt himself dying. Daniel laughed, he had to be a boy after all....
Mike: Absolutely! I am so excited! - he forced himself to smile.
Agnes started the music. It was a long slow waltz, it was led throughout by the boy. She forced herself to smile but was dying of shame. Then he ended with a beautiful turn and him hugging his hips.
