Mikaela sat in her dorm room with Fritz as they searched for transgender resources online. She had hope that they could go off campus and search for a youth center in the city. This seem to be the only way that Mikaela could get some help with finding herself and passing as a girl.
"Hey Mika. How do you feel about going downtown? I know it's going to take us an hour but if that means you get help then it's worth it." Fritz asked closing his phone.
Mikaela was currently looking at clothes. Most of the clothes she found showed quite a bit of skin. "That's acceptable. There's a lot of shops downtown. You think your sister could help me find clothes?"
"I don't know. I guess you could pretend to be my girlfriend. Though she'll tell everyone back at home." Fritz scratched the back of his head. "Outside of faking relationships, you would make a great girlfriend for me."
Mikaela's heart started beating faster. "Really now.. I thought you said you were gay?"
"I wasn't very specific. All I know is that I'm not straight."
Mikaela tried to not think too hard about what Fritz said but if that meant that she could get a girl to help her pass then they would just have to endure it.
"In that case, I would love to be your fake girlfriend." Mikaela said happily. "We don't have to kiss do we?"
"Not unless you want to." Fritz said with a grin.
There was a knock on the dorm room door. The two looked at each other. No one ever knocks on the door unless it's for complaints.
Fritz got up from his desk chair and opened the door. There was a girl around the size of Mikaela that stood in the doorway.
"Hi Fritz. Um is Mikael here?"
"Yeah. Uh come in. We need to talk to you about your uniform." Fritz opened the door more to reveal Amelia.
Mikaela looked over at Amelia. "Hey I'm sorry about the uniform. I'll pay you back when I have the money."
"I should be the one apologizing. People have been spreading nasty lies and rumors about you. I even started one of them. Please for give me." Amelia said not able to look at Mikaela.
Mikaela sat there speechless. She couldn't believe that Amelia was actually apologizing to her instead of the other way around. "I just can't believe that you're apologizing to me... I think you've been more than forgiven."
Fritz grinned happily. "Thank you for being understanding."
"But why? Why did you take it while it was drying in the laundry room?" Amelia asked.
"Because... I want to be a girl.. I wanted to feel comfortable in my own body. It may be hard for you to understand but that's why I took it. I haven't been comfortable at school until I wore that uniform."
"What do you want me to call you?" Amelia asked.
"What do you mean?"
"As in your name. You're a girl now, right?"
"Mikaela, that's what I want my name to be. You can also call me Mika."
"I'll try to remember that. Do you want to borrow anymore of my clothes?" Amelia asked. "I wanted to clean out my closet."
"Just give me whatever you're not going to wear anymore. We're pretty close in size. If something doesn't fit we can always give it to other people or donate them." Mikaela said already liking the idea of someone finally helping her out.
"Hey Fritz, you want any clothes too?"
"Got any thongs or lingerie pieces?" Fritz teased. "I wonder if I can get Mika to wear them so I can scam some sexually frustrated jocks with pictures of Mika looking hot as a girl. Or just to please me. Either way works."
Mikaela threw a pillow at Fritz's face. "Shut up. I may be your fake girlfriend but I won't go that far."
Mikaela wished to be Fritz's actual girlfriend but she knew that it wouldn't work out when people found out that it was 'Mikael'. She really only wanted him to see her that vulnerable in lingerie.
"Fake girlfriend?" Amelia was confused which was not surprising given that she wasn't there for that conversation.
"Mikaela and I are planning on going downtown with my sister. I just thought that by saying she's my girlfriend would show that I've made progress in trying to be social." Fritz replied looking over at Mikaela. He then blushed after realizing that she was looking at him and blushing as well.
Fritz wasn't always this friendly. Before he use to shy away from everyone but when he met Mikaela he started to open up a little more to others. How the two met was kinda confusing. At first Mikaela had a different roommate however said roommate was forced to transfer out after they couldn't pay tuition. She had quite a few roommates at had also moved out for reasons until Fritz had moved rooms. Fritz had thought that he's seen Mikaela before and insisted that they were friends. He was the first to know about Mikaela after he had read her journal. They have been close for two years. It's pretty clear that they like each other however this is just a blossoming attraction.
Amelia giggled. She could tell they liked each other but she won't say anything yet. "I wish I could join you two but I have plans already. I need to leave now. Good luck. I hope we can become friends." She smiled then left the two.
'Amelia seemed to be a nice girl. Maybe I can learn a few things from her. Well if I want to pass I should use her make up to help. My hair is kinda long so I don't think I need to worry about that. I'm pretty excited for this. I wonder how Fritz would treat me.'
Just as she got out of thought Fritz had pinned Mikaela on her bed. She was blushing under him. She wasn't prepared for this. "Surprise!"
Mikaela was looking straight at him. She laid submissively waiting for what Fritz was going to do next. "Can we kiss?" Fritz asked looking back at her.
"Yeah.."
He blushed and looked away from her. "I didn't think you would say yes."
"So you don't want kiss then?" Mikaela asked. She actually would have kissed him.
"Well... yes but.. I'm not very good at this type of thing."
Mikaela gave Fritz a soft quick kiss on his lips. She giggled blushing more than before.
"So dorky. It's so cute." She said with a smile.
Fritz had stopped pinning Mikaela and stood awkwardly in the middle of their room. He was probably still comprehending what just happened.
"I'm going to find a box for my old clothes. I want to donate them." Mikaela said getting up from the bed and going over to Fritz.
"Take care of the room." She kissed his cheek before leaving.
'I wonder what will happen now. Not just between Fritz and I but the rumors about me stealing Amelia's uniform. I hope things will die down soon so I can make my next move. My next move in becoming a better Mikaela.'
