We hang out at Nathan’s grandpa’s place for awhile, laughing and catching up. This is actually the happiest I felt in a long time, but there’s stilling something missing… “So, Nana, are you dating anyone yet?” There it is… the dreaded question.
“No, not yet,” I reply. “What about you?”
“Nah. I just got out of a relationship, myself.”
“Oh, really?” I look at him, wanting to know more, but he just smiles at me. “So I guess you’re not ready to hook up with anyone else right now, huh?”
“No…” He sits up a little more. “She really hurt me.”
“Aw, well that sucks.”
“Haha, tell me about it.” He lightly smiles at me, and I suddenly feel… lonely. Maybe almost… empty. Nathan catches on pretty quick though. “What’s wrong, Nana?”
“I… don’t know.” I start to see images of the guys back home, waiting for me, but most importantly I remember… him. “I want to go home,” I say quietly.
“Okay, that’s fine. We’ll drive you over to your dad’s.”
I give him a small smile. “Thank you.”
***
My mother and father are so relieved when I come home, and they won’t stop hugging me. I ignore their constant stream of apologies for fighting so much; it’s all talk anyway. All I want… is to go home. “Mom?”
“Yes, dear?” She smiles at me, still so glad to have me back safe and sound.
“When do we go home?”
“We’ll try to get plane tickets tomorrow.”
“Oh… okay.” I wander off to my room, collapsing onto the bed. If only he knew I was a girl, I start thinking sadly, my thoughts returning to that one special guy. I probably never would have even met him if it weren’t for Crissy and her stupid bet. But… I can’t let him know that I’m a girl. It has nothing to do with the bet anymore. I’m just so afraid. If he finds out, will he hate me for lying? But I want to be with him so much… Living there together, all of us, will have to keep me satisfied.
Maybe I’ll never tell him. Maybe I can just keep it a secret until we all go our separate ways. But then I might not ever see him again… What can I do?!
***
We don’t actually make it back to town until a couple nights later. Cherry had given me a nice supply of girls’ clothes and dresses and skirts, but I can’t keep them with me, so my mom promises to keep them for now. They’re all really cute too. I’m a little disappointed that I can’t wear them yet…
I return to my home the next afternoon, feeling exhausted still. Nick opens the door for me and that’s all I remember before passing out. It’s not like I meant to… I just felt so tired, and knowing that I’m home now made me relax so much that I just… fell asleep I guess.
I wake up again later that night… finding myself in my pajamas… Wait a second…
… Who changed my clothes?!!!
I go into panic mode as I try in vain to figure out who could have done it. Well I guess it doesn’t really matter who, they’d both know I was a girl by now!!! This is bad… very, very bad… I don’t know what to do! I tiptoe out of my room, finding both of their bedroom doors shut. I put my ear against Nick’s door first, and hear his light snoring. Then I sneak over to Takeru’s door… and hear nothing. He’s either a very quiet sleeper or he’s gone. That could be good or bad. Gaaaaah…
Well, this definitely complicates things! I have no idea what to do now. Go back to bed and then run off before they wake up? That sounds good. That sounds real good. I’ll have to disappear.
I’m practically shaking as I go back to my room though. I don’t want to face either of them now. I gotta think of something…
Hearing the front door open and shut makes me jump about a foot in the air though. I try listening through my bedroom door, hearing Takeru… talk to himself? No, he must be on the phone with someone. I can’t hear well enough to know what he’s saying though… but maybe that’s a good thing. Maybe I don’t want to hear what he’s saying.
Argh, I wanted to stay here longer, and now it looks like I might be leaving sooner than I had hoped. Mom and Crissy can’t help me out of this one… and if they do try, it’d only make things even more complicated! Maybe I can go back to California and stay with Dad and Cherry for awhile… and maybe Nathan can help me forget about all of this.
… But I know I’ll never forget…
