Bunny - Kenjorine - Transition

Book 2 Chapter 5

I get to school just on time. My first class is sociology. I don't really know anyone in this class other than someone who used to go to my high school, his name is Craig Tucker and he is pretty cool I guess. I think he has a boyfriend now, I always suspected he was gay.

The day goes by pretty slowly. I'm excited to see Kenny again so of course the time would move slower.

When the day finally ends I get home and crash on the couch. Two hours until Kenny gets home. I miss him.

I'll just close my eyes for a few minutes...

-

I wake up under a blanket. Did Karen put this here?

I sit up and rub my eyes.

"Marjorine? Are you up?" Karen asks from the kitchen.

"I am. Thanks for the blanket."

"No problem. I didn't want you to get cold."

"You're too kind..."

"Marjorine... I uhm..."

The front door opens. I quickly stand up to greet Kenny.

"Welcome home! How was your day, honey?"

He smiles, "Hey, Mar. It was good. How was yours?"

"Perfect now that you're here... Come with me."

I drag him into our room and shut the door.

He looks at me and smirks. "Oh?"

"Oh, stop it, you. I didn't bring you here for that."

"Aw..."

"I wanna tell you something! It's a secret though."

We sit on the bed. Kenny lays on his back. "What's up?"

"Okay... I think I met a girl at the high school that Karen might like... She mentioned a straight girl that she had a thing for... I think I found her!"

He looks away. "Oh yeah?"

"Yeah! Her name is Tricia. Karen says the girl she likes is probably straight but the way Tricia was talking to her... I think there might be a spark!"

"Tricia? Tricia Tucker? That's Craig's sister."

"Perfect! He is in my sociology class, I could ask about her! Karen might start feeling better if I set her up with her crush, right?"

"Mar, I don't think that's a good idea."

"What? Why not! She's been so down lately... I want to help her."

"Mar... How far are you willing to go for her happiness..."

"To the ends of the earth. I really care about her. I know you do too."

"Would you really do anything? Even if... even if it was something you didn't want to do? Something that would change how you live?"

"What do you mean?"

Kenny sighs and rubs his eyes. "Nothing... Just thinking."

"Don't overthink, my love. It's bad for your health."

"I know..."

I lay down next to him and rest my head on his chest.

"Kenny... I'm really happy."

"Are you?"

"I am... It's so nice to have this family... It feels like a dream sometimes. Everything is so perfect." 

"Right..."
