The distressing pain in my abdomen had subsided to an intermittent dull ache as I tried to fall asleep. I was sharing Regina’s queen size bed now. In my universe, mom had switched out my origi...

“Well, you sure sold out easy. What Mom did to you was unforgivable.”
Mom had just dropped us off at school for our first cheer practice. And I fully admit that I’m scared to death. I’ve never done anything like this before. I hated having to give presentations at BioSynthIndust...

“You never did try on any of the dresses I put out for you,” Joanna accused as she worked on covering up my shiner, indicating the pile of clothes still spread across the bed behind us.
I sighed. “I duwanna.” I could see them in the mirror,...

I looked curiously at Cathy. What an odd question. Mom hasn’t done anything to me. “What are you talking about?” I asked. “It’s your turn. Are you going to play?”
Cathy shrugged “You seem different somehow. Your natural snark is missing.” She looked down at the cards she...

"Give me a dollar," said the blonde woman to the frightened girl.
"What for? And I don't have a dollar!"
The big silver coin spun in a sunbeam from the window of the dusty hotel room. The girl caught it, bewildered.
"I'll lend you the dollar. A gunfighter never works for free, but you need a bodyguard," said...

Lonnie stared at the policeman on his bicycle. “Excuse me?”
The cop smiled pleasantly, still standing astride his bike, blocking the crosswalk. “I said I’m going to have to give you a ticket.”
“For what?” Lonnie tried hard not to squeak.
“For being too pretty,” the cop explained, whipping o...

Feeling miserable, I sat in the waiting room of the Hereford Sherriff’s office. I wasn’t alone. There were two other girls with me, sniffling and crying. They’d been picked up like me in a stupid sweep by the sheriff’s department. A county judge had ruled that it really wasn’t illeg...

I glared at the outfits Joanna had left on the bed for me to try on. Some of them, like the jeans I was wearing, were actually boy’s clothes — but somehow, they fit in a way that emphasized my shape.
How could I go back to being Pete when I looked so much like Gayle?
Joanna came in the door with another armful...

I was trying to enjoy watching some music clips from The Sound of Music (yes, I still enjoy show tunes) when I felt someone lightly slap my arm. I turned around, and it was Cathy, of course. I paused the video and removed my headphones.
Before I could ask her what she wanted, Ca...

I insisted that I had not been flirting, and Dad pretended to believe me, so we could drop it as a point of discussion.
Except between Donna and I. The treats we had bought didn’t last that long and when they were gone, she said something that set me off.

I woke up alone in the big bed, still naked under the covers. The air had some of that mid-October nip; there must have been a window open somewhere. I called out, “Megan?” but no one answered.
My voice sounded thin and high. I got out of bed and pulled on just the PJ bottoms I found on the floor. A door led to a ba...

I considered whether you wanted someone sure of their skill or someone who was kind of iffy to do your sex change?
I hadn’t really had much choice, though. But having had Jane Alexander — pardon me — Dr. Jane Alexander do the surgery pretty much answered a question I hadn’t asked. It had been a sex change operat...

The original name of the town was Nowhere-in-Particular, but that was too long, and now the Post Office recognizes mail addressed to Particular, Arizona, as perhaps belonging to Someone-in-Particular.
It’s a desert, of course the jokes are dry.

I took a deep breath and stepped out of my room. I looked up and smiled slightly at Chad. My eyes went from the floor up to Chad’s face. Not sure when my tastes changed, but he really is a gorgeous boy.

Joanna started chasing everyone out, telling them, “I want to lock all the doors and bar the windows against Bev coming back with her little friends.” The cops put in an appearance, but Mr. Linklater, being a mover and shaker in the community, they were willing to take Joanna’s recommendation that she come down on Monda...
