Metamorphosis: A Transgender Story

Chapter 5

*****I've decided to make Eric older he is now 12. I'll also now write from his pov***********

I awoke to the sound of my alarm clock. I sat up and looked around at my room, hating everything I saw. I quickly got in the shower, then changed.

"Ready, champ" my dad said.
"Yeah" I said very nonchalant.

We got in the car and headed toward the mall to go school shopping. I dreaded having to shop in the boy's section. Luckily my dad dropped me off with money and went to do his own thing so I could shop in whatever section I wanted.

I felt awkward in the girl's section like people were staring. I turned and noticed that someone was. An asian girl with a pixie cut approached me.

"I'm looking for my girlfriend" I blurted out.

"Ok..... well if you need any help looking for clothes for your girlfriend, I'd be willing to help"

"I'm not looking for my girlfriend" I admitted. "I'm looking for myself"

" I didn't think so..."

"How about this" she said pointing at a blue blouse.

"I'm not sure..." I said nervously.

"Why don't you go try it on with..... these jeans".

With the clothes in my arms I headed towards the dressing room. I had to admit I looked good.

I ran out and hugged the girl.

"So, are you transgender" she asked.

I had heard of the word but didn't know what it meant.

"What does that mean?"

"It means you don't feel like the gender you were born as"

I nodded and started to cry.

"I'm trans too"

"You feel like a boy?"

"Sometimes...I'm genderfluid sometimes I'm a boy and sometimes I'm a girl. Sometimes I'm both or neither"

"What are you now"

"A girl"

"What should I call you" I said wiping tears off my face.

"Sam"

We picked out more feminine clothes and my father came to pick me up. I was so scared to see how my mother would react to my clothes.
