In no time, I was asleep.I was more tired than I thought; I slept nearly 14 hours. I had read that teenagers needed a lot of sleep, but rarely got it....I decided then and there that I would never again suffer from lack of adequate rest and sleep. I jumped me and my bed back to my room only seconds after I had left. Mother and Dad were surprised to see me when I walked into the kitchen where they were sitting, drinking coffee.Mother said, "We thought you were going to sleep." I did. I just had 14. I don't know what's real about me anymore......don't look,trisha, don't look.Honestly, it was painful, and my gender confusion came back with a bang,reinforced by the way I was addressed, standing there staring at someghost of a man who seemed to be fading away before me."Sir, may we call you a taxi? Sir?"Oh fuck, he's talking to me."Yes, thanks. I'll wait at the front."Sir. If only he knew the real me. What I had been doing - and loveddoing up there in the big suite.I closed my eyes for.

She promised to call him back after she had had a talk with her mother. She knew full well. He'd just call her and see what happened after."Hello?" May I speak with Jessica please?" This is Jessica, who is this?" Hi Jessica, this is Mike Sweeney, from school?"He heard her giggle. It was a nice sound, he thought."I know who you are Mike. What's up?" Well, not so much, actually. I'm here in my bedroom bored, and I thought I'd give you a call and see if you can get me unbored." That's not very flattering Mike. Only calling me because you're bored." I didn't mean it like that Jessica. I.
