Friday
7th of May, 2003 - How it begins
I was just minding my own business at school today and the most bizarre thing happened. You'll never believe me, but I swear, for about five minutes, I was... male.
Honest!
I needed to go to the toliet (and thank goodness the bathroom was empty). So I go in, and go about my business, when it occurs to me that I am standing up.
I am standing up and pissing in the toliet.
I swear, if I weren't already involved in that particular bodily function, I would have wet my pants.
I totally freaked out! Well, surely you can understand why? I mean, hello, if you were going to the bathroom, minding your own business and you suddenly discover you're a guy, after fifteen years of most certainly being a girl, you'd flip out too!
Fortuntately it didn't last long. I turned back into a girl. But I was realyl shaken up by the time I left. I ended up pretending I was sick and I got home.
Then again, maybe I really am sick. I mean, who turns into the opposite sex just like that?
I don't know what to do. Everyone will think I'm insane if I tell them, but I can't keep something like this to myself.
I hope it's all just a bad dream.
Friday reread what she wrote. She titled it, then she wrote a comment under the link she put to it on her website: "A story I'm writing". After all, no one on the net would believe her any more than people in real life. But she did have to tell someone, and this seemed to be the only way that wouldn't label her as someone with mental problems.
Friday Black, was, without a doubt, an internet junkie. A fistful of webpages, easily more online friends than offline friends, way too many e-mail addresses, this that and another. And now she could add 'online journal' to that list.
She lived with her mother. Just her mother. She dated a lot though. Friday usually hated the guys she would date. Her parents had divorced when Friday was very little, and Friday had never heard from her father. Not that she even remembered him any more beyond a few photos.
Friday chewed her lip. She hoped that the sex changing thing wouldn't happen again. Then she could just continue her little story as the thing as was pretending it was - fiction.
