January 2;I woke up today with a headache and mild cramps but they didn't lastlong.Went over to Tommy's, I mean Tom's (oops he hates when I call him t...at"he's not a baby anymore," got to remember that) house. He's been mybest friend for as long as I can remember.He was very excited and couldn't wait to get me into his room. He closedthe door and pulled a magazine out from under the bed. "I found this inthe garage," he said, "I think it's my Dads. See it's full of nakedladies and stuff."Sure. I need more time! I've not yet figured out the businessabout being a boy and a girl." And that's precisely my opinion. If puberty makes a thrust now, thenthat could lead to very undesirable consequences. I think we shouldpostpone your puberty." And how do you do that?" With hormones." But my physician says, that you shouldn't intervene in the case of ateenager?" And he is very right. But here it is just the beginning of your pubertythat's to be delayed by blocking a part of your natural. I scurried back to my bed and feigned sleep. Feeling slightly relieved but also excluded and alone by the finality of the metal click as the door’s locking mechanism latched home. Creating a barrier, with Sue and Francis on one side of the barrier and only me on the other side. The heightened sense of exclusion was beginning to hurt when from somewhere I suddenly recalled our two rooms shared a common balcony. With the aircon on full blast, the big sliding door was closed. I quietly pulled it. I took the route I always take to go almost anywhere and began slowing down to navigate the tight curve of the busy residential street I was on. The neighborhood had banded together a year or so ago and forced the city to put in two large speed bumps, before the turn and after it, in an attempt to slow down traffic through their neighborhood. After all, kids lived in some of these houses, kids with bikes, balls and restless feet. As I slowed down to cross over the first speed table I glanced to.
