.. I had been 18 for about a month. I was so excited, this was my year to rule the school. I wore a sexy skirt and tight top on my first day. I left m... long dark hair down, falling almost to my waist. The day went great untill my last period class. Calculus!! Sooo boring. I was passing notes, and generally cutting up, when my teacher Mr. Denton said, "Delilah, bring that note up here right now!"My face blushed fiery red. The note was about him. I refused to bring it up.When he kept demanding. Justice was not necessarily so easy to come by.

We chatted a for while. I wasn’t sure if they all new or just some of them. But it didn’t seem to matter to them I was amongst women and presenting as one of them. The rest of the week went on pretty much like this and the group of ten girls, including me, all got on well and we would all have a giggle.
