She took hold of the sca...ed boys hand, gripping it tightly."Jamie, you must be brave, this is your only chance. The Don is really angry, one wrong word and he could order you killed"."Oh god, mum, what's going to happen to me"?"The Don demands you live the rest of your life as a girl. This is the only way he feels his honor will be restored"."Oh God", covering his face. What's your name?" I'm Bethany Stevens. My parents are dead. Mother died of the virus and I was very sick. After she died, Dad moped around and wasn't being careful. He stepped on a downed power line and was electrocuted. I've been alone ever since. No one's alive."

My eyes wandered up to her chest where the robe was loose here as well, hinting at a nipple. Regaining control, my eyes snapped back up to Barbara's, which were looking straight at me.

I only had a week left of school and then our mommy was sendingus off to summer camp so I didn't have much time to meet the new kids onthe block.I can't wait for summer camp, no more being surrounded by girl's all day.Camp is really cool because the boy's we stay on one side of the lake andthe stupid girl's stay all the way on the other side of the lake awayfrom us.I throw on my sneakers.
