“Well that is a long story, but to make it short and sweet, Miss Bell pulled for me to host Rhod, for some odd reason. She likes him very much and said something about an incident having to do with Dan. Dan got kicked off of the program because of it. Something about him losing it while in England. I was never told what the reason was. When you arrived I was surprised Rhod hadn't showed up, as was Miss Bell. I think it is working out better this way, for I was nervous about hosting a boy. Also I could not understand why she wanted me to host him actually, she had not told me anything about him. It seems strange she would let me, ummm …. a girl, …. host a boy.”

Hmmmm I wonder why Miss Bell was so adamant about Sandy hosting me? That is truly strange, what is so special about Sandy? Why not another family where a boy would be a host? I wonder if she thinks that a girl would not get upset, or as upset, if she would see me change into a girl? I wonder if Sandy is more tolerant of girls like me? Is that why Miss Bell wanted me to be with her? I need to talk to Miss Bell, and I better do it soon.

I turned out the light to the loo, turned the light on at the nightstand, then went over and turned the room light off. I went over and crawled into the bed. I lay there thinking. Why did Miss Bell push to get Sandy for my host? I wasn't sleepy anymore and just wanted to think. I looked at the time and saw it was 5:15 AM. I looked towards the window and saw it was still dark outside. I started to think what time it was at home and realized it is 10:15 AM there. That is why I am not sleepy. I just got lost in my thoughts and lay quiet for a while, and listening for any noise. I heard Sandy's light snoring from the room next to me. She must really be tired I thought.

After the shower I wrapped a towel around my head and I wrapped another towel around my body starting just above my breasts. I checked the hair on my body and noticed it was all very light, not enough to worry about. I took my morning regiment of pills, my HRT pills (hormone replacement pills), used my body lotion, bath powder, deodorant, and brushed my teeth.

Oh well, I better find something for myself. I chose to wear a cream colored blouse, a green sweater, and light tan slacks. I took the clothes and placed them on the bed while I went to the dresser and pulled out some white pants and my white training bra with some light padding in it. I took off the towel that was wrapped around my body, and put the pants and bra on. It felt so good to be properly dressed again, I miss wearing a bra, it feels so weird going braless. I went back to the dresser and found some white, knee high trouser socks and pulled them on. I went to the bed and put on the cream colored, blouse with the rounded collar with a bit of flower decoration on the collar. It's funny, why do womens blouses button on the left, while mens shirts button on the right? I then put on my light tan trousers that zip up the rear. Then I took my green jumper and pulled it over my head and adjusted the collar so it was over the top. I went to the closet and pulled my white trainers out of the closet and put them on.

I decided I needed to get something to eat and drink. I opened the door and found the light switch in the hall and switched it on. I quietly made my way towards the kitchen. I hope I do not wake up Sandy. When I got to the kitchen I looked around. I could not find any tea on the counter so I quietly opened the cupboards and found where Sandy had the cups. I looked under the counter and found a box of Tetley Tea. It wasn't my favorite but, sigh, I needed something. I will have to see about getting some good tea. I found a teakettle and filled it with water and set it to boil on the stove. While it was heating, I looked around and looked in the refrigerator and found some eggs, hmmm boiled eggs would be good. So I took two eggs and put them in a pan I found, added water and boiled them. I found some bread and I took two slices and put them in the toaster that was sitting on the counter. I found the plates and got one ready. I looked in the refrigerator and found some grape jam, and decided this would be good on the toast. I hope Sandy doesn't mind me using her stuff.

I started to eat and looked out of the kitchen window and I noticed the first light up on the mountains in the distance. It really looked great, clear, dark blue skies in the early morning light with a red hue over the mountain. What a beautiful looking morning. I noticed there was a layer of frost over everything and it made everything sparkle. I could see a stand of trees not to far away from the house, and no neighbors except for the main house.

Sandy just sort of looked at me, and thought for a while. She looked like she didn't know where to begin. “Em, I think, because I live sort of alone and being 18, a lot of people feel I am not responsible enough to handle an exchange student. There are other things but I can't talk about that now. But know this, if it was not for Miss Bell we probably wouldn't be having this conversation. I am still puzzled why she wanted me to host Rhod Morgan. By the way Mfanwy are you related to Rhod? I mean isn't your last name Morgan also?”

As I was fixing my make-up I was wondering why Miss Bell wanted to talk with me? Is she going to tell Sandy about me? I certainly hope not? Sandy is a nice person and I hate to have her upset with me, I like being here with her. I hope Miss Bell is not upset I am Mfanwy, but heck, she was going to put me up with Sandy even as a boy, so what is the problem? After all, this way is much better, isn't it? Or does she feel Sandy has a right to know, since it could shock her later? Hmmm she would have a point there, I mean if Sandy accidentally found out I am not a girl would she freak? I guess doing this can cause unexpected problems. Sigh what to do?

I wonder how the rest of the gang is making out? I miss Ally not being here, I wonder where she is? How Darla is and how far away do they live? I mean it is nice to be out in the country, but it makes it tough to get together as a group. I wonder how Bernie and Amy are doing? I wonder how Darla and Amy are going to take me as Mfanwy? After all they never met her and I do not think they know about her. Oh jeez I hope they do not freak, I don't need another Dan session here with them? Sigh, I guess you are going to have a can of worms for a while Rhod. I hope you can handle all of this, for if you don't this is going to be a very long six weeks. Mom did have a point, she feared I was going to get hurt if someone found out. I guess I really did not think this all through to well. Heck, how would they react when Mfanwy just showed up for the cheer competition? That could be worse.

So I told her my family history (see scene 1) omitting the obvious things concerning me as not exactly female of course. …. Well the rest was history, and I found out how old fashion Chreys was. She would seldom allow me to wear slacks or shorts unless they where ultra feminine, otherwise it was always skirts and dresses with nylons and heels for me all of the time. UGGGH!”

As she left I had a chance to look around the dining room, saw how high the ceilings were and was amazed at the size of the room and the furniture in it. It was quite opulent. I saw another room off to the side and saw it was some type of sitting room with plush furniture in it, and some large paintings on the walls. I heard some faint yelling going on from somewhere in the house, something about ‘she is a girl', and wondered what was going on. When Mrs. Jones arrived from the kitchen and got my attention. “Would you like sugar or cream with your tea?”

Mr. and Mrs. J took me to a restaurant that was just off of the skyline Drive that had a beautiful vista to look at while you were eating. It was so neat. As we were waiting for a table, Mrs. J asked if I needed to use the restrooms and I told her, “Yes I could use the loo.”

I was a bit shocked at the idea I could cost her, her job. I didn't really think about this being a problem. Oh my God what have I done. I certainly didn't want to hurt anyone. I really didn't think about this at all it seems. I hope I have not hurt anyone by my rash decision? “Ummm … well … I, ahhh well I … ahh … guess, umm I better tell you what is going on.” Sighing. “After I was found out by the gang last year, you remember when Dan blew his top?”

He stated I was a true Trans-gendered individual, a person where the brain and the body do not match. I am a transsexual.

“She convinced my Stepmom and my mum that I should try out for cheerleading, since the school decided to start a cheerleading group at our school as a sporting event, thanks to Britney, Sabrina and you, Miss Bell. My Mom thought it would be a good idea, giving me the true girl experience, Ally thought so also. I feared doing it, until I realized Drew is in it already, because he was conned into doing it while Sabrina and Britney were still here and they wanted Drew to do it. I am still unsure how that happened, but I figured what the heck if he could do it, so could I and I wouldn't be alone, besides I figured I wouldn't make it anyway, since the original group knew about me and knew I was not a real girl. Imagine my surprise when I found out I made it, the gang knew it was me all along. Miss Cowlishaw was the one that made the choices as to who would be on the team. She had no clue about me at the time. The gang was really surprised I tried out. They didn't give me away to Miss Cowlishaw, but somehow she found out about me that I wasn't a real girl and didn't push it. She still wanted me on the team. It really surprised me.”

“We hugged and cried ourselves to sleep that night and we discussed this long and hard. We finally decided that me becoming a woman was the right thing for me to do. So the therapist referred me to an endocrinologist, and she prescribed hormone replacement drugs to make my body become more feminine, and when I turn eighteen I would be allowed to have the corrective surgery to complete what I should always have been. So now I am on female hormones and my body is slowly changing. Mr. Wood our principle, knows all about me, and he suggested that I finish this school year out as Rhod, and next year I would start school as Mfanwy, A GIRL!! I can't wait.”

“Then Miss Cowlishaw came with the announcement that we would be in a cheer competition here in the States. We all voted on it that we would do it, this was when she realized that Drew and I weren't exactly females, and if we wanted to compete we would have to be girls for the competition. She all of a sudden realized what she had done, she had talked to Mr. Pilling and Mr. Wood to see what could be done. Well they asked Drew and I, if we would be willing to be Gaby and Mfanwy for the competition? We both agreed, reluctantly at the time, giving no thoughts to the mechanics of what we just agreed to. When it finally dawned on us how we were going to compete, it would mean that both of us would be outed to our school group, and possibly everyone in this school here in the States. This could potentially be bad for Drew and I, whether here or back in Warsop. Then we realized there were only four of the ten exchange students who do not know about Drew and me. If we would come as girls, and if we could convince the four in the exchange group that Drew and Rhod never came, but their cousins Gaby and Mfanwy did, convincing them we were girls would make life a lot less complicated, at least for me, and I jump at the chance to be Mfanwy full time and save the embarrassment.”

WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? I am totally confused. Mr. J gets angry about me being a girl, Sandy looks like she is getting chewed out, I find Sandy in the apartment by herself crying, her mother is not saying anything, and keeps referring to Mr. J, Miss Bell is being evasive and is upset I came here as a girl. Why is everyone so upset? God did I blow this big time? Am I going to be in serious trouble? I seemed to already have hurt Sandy, well her dad did that and it was about me. Why does everyone stutter when they say Sandy's name? Why is there such a big issue with me being a girl? I mean, after all, Look at Sandy she a big girl and me being a girl, I would of thought that was more desirable. What gives anyway?
