02: Another Girl Appears!

Strange."Why won't I wake up?" I ask myself as I crossed my arms and sit in my usual position, looking at the mirror, the sight just starts to get less interesting to see."This is getting freaky the more I look at it. Ah. Is this one of those transgression tropes lately? Haha.. yeah right, as if that would actually happen to me! Haha.. haha.."I slammed the pillow against the floor as soon as I grabbed it out of sheer panic."F*CKING H*LL!" I heard a bleep sound as I cuss out out, which takes me by surprise."..." I process."... C*nt." I mutter, but in between that I heard the bleep sound again."Sh*t." I said again as I test it once again."... Okay, this is trippy as h*ll." I mutter as I rest my hands on my mouth as I start to let everything sink in.'Let's think back to everything. I was playing the game, and then I wished to understand how a girl feels, how to make a girl happy.'I sighed as I rest my hands on my chest, fondling it as I try to process the information and think of what to do.'These flat as board tits don't even make me happy.'Then, I paused for a moment, stopping on fondling and looking back to the mirror.'Happy..?'My eyes widen and I get up to stand with a newfound clarity."That's it! I just have to make this girl happy! Yeah! But.. how do I even do that.." I ask myself and look around the room.I check onto my desk and drawing, seeing make up kits and a bunch of notes.As I continue rummaging, nothing else seemed worthy to look into, or perhaps it's because of the guilty conscience I have deep within me for being in a girl's bedroom."Hmm? An ID. Oh, this is helpful, let's see here.. 19 years old. Third year student. 'Estelle.. Ze.. ller?' What a foreign name. Hold on.. Estelle Zeller..?"My brain wracked to try to familiarize the name I learned, but before I could figure it out, I heard something ringing on the corner of the room.'Ah, it's the phone I threw.'I walk up to go on ahead and pick up the phone."So pink.. umm, woah! It's already 7:40AM! Alright, uhh.. Raven..? " I look at the caller's name and ponder what to do.Thinking of a test scenario of what would happen if I tell this Raven person that I'm someone else.'Hello, I'm actually not Estelle, can you tell me what makes her happy so I get out of this body? I'm actually a guy named-.. named.. 'I froze again.'HOLD ON, MY NAME! I DON'T REMEMBER MY NAME!'I cower out of fear and ruffle the blonde hair in a mess as I panic and try to wrap my head around the missing memory of my own name.'This is getting more and more strange! I'm aware that I'm not me but.. I don't even remember my own name!? This is a mess-'The ringing on the phone continues and I contemplate before answering the call."H-hello.." I say softly as best as I can, but instead it just made me sound quite anxious."Hey, Estelle. It's almost 8AM. Did you sleep in again?" The girl's voice on the other side was gentle and deep, a hint of concern for this Estelle person that I am at this moment."O-oh boy.. i-is it? I guess so.. haha.." I nervously said in response."Hey, don't tell me you just woke up." She assumes."W-who knows? Haha .." I mentally cursed myself for not coming up with a better response, lying isn't my strong suit after all.'Crap, crap, crap, crap, crap. What do I do? I don't know how to talk to this person at all!'"Should I come and pick you up?" She asks gently."Eh?" I process her question and think over it in a split second.'Wow, that would be pretty helpful wouldn't it? How convenient, this person sure cares a lot about this girl.'"Will that be.. okay? I'm still about to get ready.." I reply to Raven as I continue to hold onto the phone, almost too tightly as I get anxious."It's fine, okay? I'll be with you in a bit. I just arrived at the train station anyway." She says in response."Huh? Uh, o-okay." I reply.'Wah, now I kinda feel bad. I hope it isn't too far of a walk.'She ends the call abruptly and I'm left to wonder to my own thoughts as I look back at the mirror, glancing at myself."Alright, pull yourself together. You don't have enough time, if this person finds out I'm a guy who occupied this girl's body she might call an exorcist and torture me. Yeah, we don't want that. Superstition stuffs involved is never good. " I say to myself and go up to the wardrobe and open it wide to see a hanged uniform prepared."Wow, this person is very well organized, that's a relief at least."I go on to pick the uniform and wear it.Time flew by and I look at the mirror.Impulsively I striked a bunch of poses that makes it cute, but as soon as I puff out my chest, I noticed how small chest are almost obvious for anyone to see."W-wah--"I covered them instinctively.Embarassed."Getting a female body is all wrong in many ways. Umm.. I have to.. wear a bra, right?" I look back to the wardrobe, seeing a drawer underneath, I see a bunch of undergarments, and out of guilt I closed it shut instantly."... I don't think I can last long here."I take a deep breath and open it again as I exhale, my mind is filled with everything telling me no but for the respect of this girl's body, I must avoid further exposure.I take the bra I see and take my time to try to put it on.Time flew by, perhaps too long."THIS IS UNCOMFORTABLE!" I yelled in frustration, despite being half naked I didn't care as I threw the bra to the ground."Women wear these on a daily basis?! This is hell! Ugh.. there has to be some other alternative." I say to myself as I glance back to the wardrobe.A bunch of more girly clothes, dresses, skirts, crop tops."Hm?" But out of all those, I see a pink hoodie and grabbed onto it."Oho.. this could work.""KNOCK! KNOCK!" I heard someone knocking the door which immediately made me jolt up and turn my attention towards it while holding onto the hoodie with both of my hands."Estelle, are you all set? It's me, Raven. " She says through the door."R-raven!? " I panicked, checking the time on my phone.It's already passed 8AM."A-ah! I'm almost set, let me just.. ugh.. find my p-phone! " I said as I look at the phone on my other hand and hurry on to put the top of the uniform back and then the pink hoodie.I didn't have time to check onto the mirror as I rush to the door."Sorry!" I said instantly as soon as I opened the door and glance up to the person in front of me.'Eh?'My eyes widen at the beauty I see before me.Jet black hair, pale skin that makes her seem like she's glowing and her eyes.'She looks so pretty.'I couldn't help but stare in awe as she blinks in slow motion to my point of view."You didn't tie your ribbon." She says as she tucks her hair strand behind her ear."You can tie me up.." I mutter without thinking."Excuse me?" She tilts her head, slightly leaning her head to the side as she gazes at me in confusion.I freeze as I realized what I just said outloud, to try to make up for it I quickly make up an excuse."I-i mean! C-can you tie it for me? I'm still half asleep.. haha.." I said nervously as I try to sound cute and girly."..." Raven turned quiet as if she's processing what I just said and did.'Was this too out of character for this Estelle person..?'"I-i.. uh.. " I wanted to say something, but I'm at my wit's end.Silence continues before she replies with a soft sigh and put her hands to my ribbon that she is now starting to tie for me."You're really hopeless, aren't you?" She says, almost in a doting way, which made me look at her with a slight sense of reassurance that she is humoring it.To my head, all I could think of was that perhaps Estelle and Raven are just very close friends to even have this sort of dynamic.Once she's done tying my ribbon, I took a glance on it by looking down and Raven turns away."Anything else you're forgetting? The security key card to your place? Your wallet?"I look at the school bag I checked and rummage and think back to most of the essential items needed and then the security card on the table nearby.I walk back to grab it and put it in my bag, then I look back to Raven with a smile. "I got it.""Good, come on. We'll be late if we don't catch out train in time." Raven says in response as walks on ahead, without dilly-dallying further I follow her and let the door close automatically behind me.As we walk together on our way to the station, I couldn't help but feel alienated to everything, but thanks to this. I was able to ingrain the area in my head.The fact of the matter is I'm now Estelle Zeller, a third year highschooler that's 19 and likes pink things. A girl.A girl.I ruffle my hair in frustration.'That's what I don't get! Don't people that usually transgressed go to the same gender?! It's not rewarding to be a girl! Not at all!'"Hey, are you sure you're okay? You look like you're deep in thought." Raven says as she looks at me with concern.'She seemed elegant and kind with just her presence alone.'Realizing I'm getting distracted again, I clear my throat and respond as normal as I can."I'm just thinking if we have any exams coming up, y-you know?""Exams? We just started our third year in highschool last week." Raven replies as if she's just stating an obvious fact, which makes me more dumb and anxious."O-oh, did we?" I stuttered, nervousness taking over my mind."Hm?" She looks at me again with a slight confusion."N-no, I mean.. y'know.. could be a surprise quiz here and there, haha.. y-you never know with the teachers these days! They like to give surprises, haha.. " I said, trying to save my own words I spouted."Surprise quiz.. huh? I guess that makes sense. " Raven mumbled to herself as she stops at the spot where the train doors could open.I stop as well and stand next to her, exhaling in relief.'I can't keep pretending to be Estelle any longer! This is hard to do! There's too little information! Too little!'"... Hey, Estelle.""Y-yes?""You're in the Art Club, right?"I blinked and look up as I start to think back on the drawer I runmage this morning, which then explains the art materials underneath the notes piled up."Y-yes..""... That must be nice. I can't seem to find anything yet that would suit me. It feels hopeless being a transferee and not knowing anyone else."'Hold on, transferee? Then, she's only new since last week?' I mentally ask as I listen further to what she has to say."I'm really grateful that you're the first friend I got to meet.."She says with a smile so radiant that I thought I would go blind as my heart raced."Hold on." I mutter softly.'First friend?! SO WE ONLY GOT TO MEET TOGETHER SINCE LAST WEEK?! Wow.. but wait.. she knows where Estelle lives though. Ah, maybe Estelle dragged her to her place. Ah, I see. Estelle must be that one extrovert that just picks a random introvert to befriend.'Just as I continue to think up of many scenarios in my head, Raven looks back to me, her expression showing vulnerability."So.. do you think.. that maybe I should join your club?" She asks me, her amethyst-like eyes looking at me as it sparkles."Uhh.. uhm.. well.." I look to the side, trying to think of what to say back in response."Estelle?" Raven calls out to me once again as she tilts her head, curios to my hesitation."Y-yeah? I mean, it would.. seem cool I think. I mean, only if you want to! But.. but, you know? This is up to you after all. You're free to choose however you want. Either way, I'll support you! Yeah!" I said, trying to sound confident as best as I can as I think of an optimistic way to put it for Estelle's image.But somehow, Raven's expression seemed much more surprised than I imagined."..." Her eyes completely focused on me in that moment.But slowly, as the train arrives and my attention diverts to the sound.Raven speaks again. "I see."The moment I look back at her, she was smiling gently as if I gave the most satisfying answer ever."You're right, thank you Estelle."TO BE CONTINUED
