Being a teenaged girl was a very tiring thing; I went to sleep early that day.At school Gill was still angry with me, and she didn't say a word to me ...all day. I missed her a lot, I even told her to skip class and escape with me to the mall, but she was really mad.When I came home I saw in a magazine a hairstyle that I liked, it was shorter than my middle back hair and with more highlights, also a permanent was applied to the model. So I showed it to my Mom and she gave me her approval for it,. I left the conference room and headed back tothe turbo lift. Once inside the lift I commanded "Deck 12". Again,the lift responded to my command and, again, I wondered why.I'll admit that I was more than a bit curious about my new form. Iwas anxious to explore it and perhaps experiment with it. I neededsome time alone to ponder how I'd come to change forms and why. Ialso needed to find a way back to the universe where I exist as amale. But the luxury of free time was something I was not. * *Do you think youll get back together?* He cant see me but I shake my head anyway. *He cheated on me. At least twice.* *Oh.* *I went round his flat and he was shagging some stupid teenager.* *Fuck. You saw them together?* *Uh-huh. Im glad in a way. Now I know I cant go back. Its finally over.* He speaks softly: *But it still hurts?* *I dont like being alone Byron. It makes me think too much.* *Just give it some time. You know youll get over it.* *Did I make you feel as bad as this?* He. ‘Well, uh, thanks again. Um, guess I’ll see you tomorrow?’ ‘Do you need a ride home?’ Ben asked, rising from the couch and putting on his glasses. ‘No no, I’m sure I can manage.’ She smiled weakly. ‘Well, bye!’ She practically ran out the door and down the stairs to the street. Once she was there she got her bearings and started making the long journey back to her apartment. Her head was still spinning from the hangover, but also with the events of the morning. Not only had a man she thought.
