My name is Bailey. I am seven years old and have two brothers, both older than me. My parents are, you know parents. My dad is so happy that we are all boys. My mommy wished she had a girl. I guess that’s why she named me Bailey. Which I heard was why dad threw a fit when they chose my name. I don't understand why. I like the name, Bailey.
What my dad didn't know was I felt like I really was a girl. My mommy was so happy when I told her. She said never to tell dad. I understand why she means not to. More likely I would have been castrated by him or something horrible like that. In secret, I would dress as girly as possible. Mom loved it when I did. I loved my mommy so much. Everything was wonderful in my life. Until last year, when mommy had died. I was devastated. I lost my role model. Mainly when she was the only one that I felt safe with.
With mommy out of my life, dad took over our lives. He wanted to get me into sports. I hate sports. He put me in Football, Hockey and Baseball. He wouldn't put me in Soccer, which is funny because that's actually called Football in other countries. He said he didn't want me to play Soccer, because even girls can play it. News Flash dad, girls can play any sport.
I believe my dad is sexist and thinks women should be the ones doing all the work in the house. He bought a maid to clean up after him. No, it isn't a human, this is a robot, or an Android or something like that. I still haven't figured that out yet. Having a robot maid in the house means we didn't have to touch a thing. He said that if I cleaned anything in the house, I would be stripped down to nothing and wear girl’s clothes and treated like a woman. I wouldn't mind that. I giggle.
Just last week I got hurt at Football practice and started crying. “Lee, stop crying,” Boys don't cry; only girls do, and you are not a girl.” I hated it when dad called me Lee. I know he hates Bailey as my name, but that is ridiculous. I didn't understand why boys shouldn't cry. When he yells at me, I start crying harder. That usually makes dad angrier.
This year was an election year. Dad had tried to make sure that a man reran the white house. He failed. President Sophie won her second term. My dad hates her and says she is the worst President in the History of Presidents. The one he likes of all of them was President Drumpf. Not sure why. I heard he wasn't a great president. I bet if Hitler were around, he would have voted for him.
For the past few years, women have been running the country. This made dad pissed. I always wonder why he gets so angry. I think President Sophie is doing a great job. I heard that England had a few Queens. It was sad when Elizabeth II died. Well, my mommy said it was. I wasn't even born yet. Not even sure if mommy was. But reading a little bit on her, I learned she was a great ruler. Why doesn't the United States have Kings or Queens? Why do we have to have presidents? That is one question I haven't got an answer to.
I turn on the TV. President Sophie was talking, which I really wasn't listening. I usually listen to her, but I have another thing on my mind. Besides I could just read online in a few hours anyways. Besides, I wanted to watch my favorite movie Star Wars Episode 14. This was when Princess Lillian finally becomes a full Jedi. She defeats Darth Nazar in a colossal battle. I may have memorized the whole story, but I never get sick of it. I flipped the station, so I didn't have to hear the President speak. The movie is on SF. I understand this station has changed its name a lot since it started. Wikipedia says it was initially Sci-Fi Channel, later dropping the word “Channel” making it Sci-Fi and then Syfy. I look at the name now as SF and think it's boring. It's like they are too lazy now.
There are a lot of people making fun of that station. “Let's watch the San Francisco Channel.” They would joke around and say. I changed it to SF and noticed the show wasn't on yet. This is an excellent time to go to the kitchen and grab a little food. Looking at the machine, I didn't know how to use it. Does everything now days come in pill form? I have seen classic TV shows from around the 2010s; where they ate larger meals. I always wondered what a hamburger tasted like. But as I was saying everything is in pill form. I press a button, hoping I get something edible and head back to the movie just in time before it starts.
I made it in time to see the Disney logo. They always make this logo really cool with Star Wars Animation in the logo. I heard that a company called Twentieth Century Fox made the first six movies. Well, I guess that was the original name to the company until Disney bought them out. It makes sense because the Twentieth Century was a long time ago.
It was late at night, and I must have fallen asleep on the couch. My dad rushed in and woke me up. “Hurry son; we have to leave. Pack up a suitcase.”
“What's wrong dad?” I started panicking with him. He pointed out the window. A bunch of machine-like things were busting down doors. “What the hell are those?”
“They are Androids.”
“They sure don't look like our maid. What do they want?” I cried packing up a suitcase as fast as I could go.
“President Sophie told the nation last night, that the whole world has joined in on this new law.”
“What law is that?” I was still panicking.
“According to Sophie, all males have to report to a facility to be feminized.”
“What's that?” Now I was confused.
“It's where we would have to turn into a girl. It’s a law that makes males illegal.”
'Wow,' I thought. 'My wish is coming true. I will be a girl in no time.'
“Hurry up your brothers were already in the car. Dad went to the kitchen and grabbed bags of pill formed food with him.
“Why do we need all this stuff?”
“We won't be able to go to stores without being caught. Once all this is gone, we will have to search for food in the wilderness. I helped him take a few bags to the car, and we were on our way. But to where?
We were so lucky to get away because as soon as we left, the Androids had knocked down our front door. While we were in the car, I had a few questions to ask. “Why is the world making it illegal to be a boy?”
“How the hell do I know? Women are taking over. I have been knowing this for many years since the first woman president.”
“You mean President...”
“Don't say her name,” dad interrupted. I sat there for a while thinking.
“Dad, why can't we just give in and become girls?”
“Lee,” dad yelled. “Men have always ruled the world. Women are just jokes. Men have more power. They are stronger, and girls are weaker.”
“What if I want to be a girl?” I said without thinking.
“Why the hell would you want to become a girl?” I started to cry. “And don't start the crying bologna.”
As we flew, I looked out the window. Looking at the ground below, I could see Androids everywhere — lots of men being dragged out of their homes and taken away. I wonder how many other men were hiding away.
“Where are we going?” I asked dad.
“My boss knows this place we can hide out. He's already there. A bunch of men are there as well. We are going to hide there as long as we can.”
“What if they find out where we are?”
“Then we will have to find another hiding place.”
The ride didn't take long. With these flying cars, we can reach speeds of about 300 plus miles in just a few seconds. We made it to an abandoned place located in the desert. According to the GPS it says we are... nowhere?? “Dad where are we?” I look down and see old buildings everywhere. It definitely didn't look like a modern city. It looked like some old western movie set.
“We are located in an old abandoned town called Bodie. It has not been touched for so many years. It used to be a site for tourist to check out. I heard it was an old Gold Mining Town way back in the 1870s.”
“Wow. That's a very long time ago. Are you sure it's safe to live here?”
“My boss has already checked it out and told me it is safe.”
I look at the buildings. I am so going to miss the beach where we use to live in Santa Monica, all my friends, the boys, and the girls. I start to giggle. Now all girls, unless they got away like my family. I so wish I was still there. Where I would finally make my dream by turning into a girl. I thought of my friend Jake. He is transgender like me. He was born a girl but said he wanted to be a boy. I feel sorry for him. His wish will never happen now, I frown.
I walked around the town. Noticing there were a lot of people already there. Kids boys, girls, men, and women. I'm surprised that the men allowed the girls here. Well, I guess it makes sense. If we didn't have girls, we would just be a town of men. I walked up to this girl about my age.
“Hi,” I said. She was shy. “What's your name?”
“Tiffany,” she said softly.
“My name is Bailey,” I said very proudly.
“Isn't that a girl’s name?”
“Yes, but it can be a boy’s name as well.”
“Not common for a boy.”
“Wanna play cops and robbers?” I tried to change the subject.
“Sure,” she perked up.
We ran to a building which looked like some Saloon. Since guns were illegal in the United States, even toy guns, we had to pretend we had one. “BANG, BANG” Tiffany yelled.
“Hey!” a boy named John about three years older than us yelled. He was standing with a few more boys. “Girls can't play those games!”
“Why not?” Tiffany complained.
“Because it's the rule,” John said.
“Why can't she play?” I complained as well.
“Because she's a girl. She wears dresses. She plays with dolls. She has a...”
“I will be the girl if she can be the boy!” I yelled.
“What are you a sissy?”
“No. I think it’s wrong to be sexist.” The boys all laughed. “Yeah, we have a sissy here. Joe, go get your sisters dress and panties and bring them here. We are going to force him to be a girl, just like the world wants him to be.” Joe runs to get the items and brings them back. “Now put them on.”
“No!”
“Put the clothes on now, or your girlfriend will get cut.” He says grabbing Tiffany and putting a knife to her neck. “Don't hurt her!” I cried. I turned around and took off my clothes. Putting on the panties the boys all laugh. It was louder laughs when I put on the dress. I was embarrassed. John grabs my boy clothes.
“Hey, give them back!” I cried.
“No way!” He laughs.
“Bailey?” I looked around and saw my brothers staring me, with wide eyes. “Why are you wearing a dress?”
“Is Bailey your name?” John laughed. “That's a girl’s name.”
“It can be a boy’s name as well.” All the boys laughed — even my brothers.
“What's with all the laughing going on in...? Lee?” I looked up to see my dad. “Why are you in girls clothes?”
“They forced me to put it on.” I pointed to the boys, or what I thought was the boys. They ran away before my dad saw them.
“Stop lying to me and get back into your boy clothes.”
“I swear dad; some boys forced me to put them on.” I look around and can't find my clothes anywhere “I can't find my clothes.”
“How can you not find them? You took them off; you should know where you put them down at.
“I'm telling you, the truth. Those boys took it.”
“I'm tired of your lying. We will have to get some from your suitcase if you refuse to tell the truth.” I was a little scared because I didn't pack any clothes in there — just video games and toys. I know I will be in trouble any minute. We walked outside. I was blushing. All the people outside saw me and were laughing. We reached my suitcase. Dad opened it up. I could tell he was pissed off. “Why the hell didn't you pack any clothes?” I started to cry. “Stop that crying, or you can hit the road.” He yelled pointing to the outskirts of town. I didn't stop crying. I just started walking away. I knew I was an outcast. “Get back here Lee!” I didn't bother. I knew I didn't belong with these people. My life was meant to be with the rest of the world. The world of only girls. I was scared. But I just kept on walking. But how far was the nearest city?
I looked back at the town? I was only there for about fifteen minutes, and I was already being forced away. I continued crying. A girl ran up to me. “Give me back my clothes.” She yelled. I took off her dress and panties. She grabbed them and ran back to town. Now I was naked. This was so not my day.
For being seven years old, I have a lot of energy. I walked for a long time. I know it was far because I don't see the town anymore. About an hour went by, and I heard a car fly by. I so wish they could see me. It was getting dark. I am glad that no wheeled cars drive on the road anymore. I saw one in a museum once, which was weird. They called it a gas guzzler. Not sure what gas is. I look up and see that car fly by again. I think someone is looking for me. I am so pooped. I fall to the road and am instantly asleep.
I wake up in a weird building. I was fully clothed. I look around and see my new friend Tiffany sitting down next to me. She looks up. “Bailey! You’re alright.” she cries. She goes over and hugs me.
“Where am I?” I asked.
“You're at my house, here in Huntington Beach.”
“Why did you bring me here?”
“Mommy left the group of men because the guy she was with was a jerk. She was mad at the homophobic words he was saying about you.”
“Tiffany, can I talk to your mommy?” She nodded and ran out of the room to get her. Her mother, Mrs. White, came in the room and sat next to me.
“Hi,” I said very quietly.”
“Hello, Bailey.”
“I looked at her and sighed. “I have a feeling I will have to be brought in to be feminized. I am a little scared.”
“It's alright to be scared. “
“Will I be forced to go there just like the other men?” I cried. “I don't want to be dragged out into the streets like the Androids did to the others.”
“I can arrange it that they don't force you. They are on their way at this moment.” I looked to the floor. This is the last time I will be a boy. Will I be happy as a girl? My dream is coming true, but it seems a little scary. I looked up at Mrs. White and then hugged her.
“Thank you,” I said very softly. I cried a little.
Tiffany came into the room.
“Mommy someone is at the door.” Mrs. White walked out of the room to answer the door. Tiffany sat down next to me. So you're going to be a girl like me now, aren't you? I nodded. Tiffany hugs me. “Don't worry, being a girl isn't that bad.”
“Can you keep a secret?” I look at Tiffany, and she nods. “I have ever since I was two felt like I was supposed to be a girl. So this is a dream I have wanted for some time now.”
Tiffany looks at me for a little bit. I can see a happy smile form on her face.
Mrs. White walks back into the room with a lady.
“Hello Bailey,” The lady said. “Mrs. White told me you want to volunteer to go down to the facility. I have told the Androids to leave. I am very proud of you. You must be brave.” I cried and looked up at the lady.
“I am, but I am also scared.”
“You don't have to be scared. You’re not going to be dragged in like those non-volunteering men were.”
“Will it hurt to change?”
“Not at all. Just a small poke from a needle and you will be fine.”
I smiled as she took my hand and helped me out of bed. “Come on Bailey.”
Time was moving slowly, walking out the house I was put into a small vehicle. I looked at the world around me. I am seeing girls staring at me. Soon, I will be like them.
Soon.
The ride to the facility was a peaceful one. The lady, which I found out her name is Dr. Jostad, made it comfortable. I was told that I was one of the only cooperating children. Most didn't want to change. Well actually mostly all Transgenders agreed, but I was one that was being treated with a lot of respect. I wonder why.
I hear that crossdressers were not as happy. They lost their jobs as drag queens. Well, maybe they can dress as drag kings now. I giggle. I doubt it.
When we get to the destination, I am escorted into a strange building. I could hear lots of yelling. Most of them are men screaming to let them stay as men. I saw some men being escorted to the building like me, but they were trying to get away. There was lots of swearing as well. I noticed that when it got out of hand, they were tranquilized and thrown in a room with a bunch of other men waiting to be changed.
I was brought into a special room. Children were usually the first to change which means the older men have to suffer and panic. I walk into a room with a machine and a window where I can be watched by the women on the other side.
“Please sit down,” a robot said. I followed directions and sit. Metal bars went around my legs and arms. I see Dr. Jostad observing me from the large window. I wonder why I need to be restrained. I am a good girl. I won't get away.
The seat I sat on started getting warm. It was very pleasant. I felt a strange feeling. I hear Dr. Jostad talking. “Bailey. This won't make much sense with you. It normally would work for mature males. But because you're just seven, it will just feel warm and strange.”
“What's it supposed to do?”
“It normally would remove all of your boy juice also known as semen, but since you don't produce any at your age... well... I will explain it later.” I was confused. Just then I felt a poke in my arm.
“Ow,” I cried. “What was that?”
“You remember when I told you, you were going to get a shot?” I nodded “Well that was it. Sorry, it hurt.” If I weren't restrained, I know I would have rubbed the owwy.
The seat was still warm. It was glowing orange. I felt my hair start growing. It went past my shoulders. It was weird. Typically hair grows very slow on me. I wish I could take my hands and hold them. Because of the restraints, I couldn't even move. Still not sure why I also need to be restrained. I am voluntary allowing my change. I can feel my skin getting softer. Again I wish I could feel how soft it really was getting. Not sure what was happening, but my bones felt like they were shrinking. I notice my hands are a slight bit smaller than before. My feet stayed the same though, which was weird. I guess they are the same as girls my age. I can see through a mirror that my face was changing as well. Instead of the square-shaped chin that I was starting to get, it was now more heart-shaped. I could tell I wasn't as tall as I use to be. Last time I was checked, I was sixty inches which would have made me, I believe five feet tall and the tallest in my class, especially for a seven-year-old. But I shrunk a lot. I wonder how tall I am now. Just then my tummy was hurting a little. I am groaning. This part hurt a lot. It was like something was growing inside of me. Well, I guess it wasn't my tummy. I have a feeling that inside me I am developing the Female Reproductive System. I don't actually know what it is, but I will learn soon enough. Next but not the final change was the most exciting thing of them all. I watched as my penis started shrinking, which ended up going totally flat. I could feel something moving down there like a hole was forming. It had to be my new vagina.
The machine then moved around me. It was scanning me. How do I know? I saw a light of some kind. It was like a laser you find at a market. It went around me for about three minutes until it stopped. I looked up. This screen on the wall lit up. On the screen, I could see words.
** Patient: Bailey
Age: 7
Gender: Female
Height: 45 in.
Weight: 24 kg
Patient is capable of bearing children through natural birth in the future. Ovaries are in good health.** The machine shut off.
Wow, I am way shorter than before. I also weigh less. What's this? I can get pregnant? That excited me. I heard in the past they used Nanobot Technology and Stem Cell Research to help make Transgenders pregnant. It wouldn't be a natural birth. They would always have to cut them open to get the baby out.
Dr. Jostad walks into the room. “Hi,” I said with a smile. “How come I haven't grown...” I was moving my hands across my chest.
“Bailey the final stages will be when you go through puberty. That is in a few years from now. As for now, welcome to girlhood. You are 100% female down to the Chromosomes.”
“What are Chromosomes?” I asked I was so confused.
“ Chromosomes is DNA that makes you either male or female. Since you are now female, you have the Chromosome XX. When you were born, you had the Chromosome XY which is the DNA of male.”
I sat there for a minute not talking. Dr. Jostad just smiled. Finally breaking the silence I had a question, I bet lots to ask.
“Why has the world decided to change all males into females?”
“I can't answer that. It is top secret, even to me. But more likely in the near future, we will know the reason why.”
The chair stopped turning bright orange and turned off. The metal bars opened up, and I was able to move again. I got down from the chair, well I more like fell. I wasn't the same height as I was before. I started to cry. Dr. Jostad helped me up. “It's okay. You didn't know how tall you were by just sitting there. I stopped crying. I was checking out the machine I was just one. Looking at a small empty jar. “What's that?” I asked pointing to the jar.
“That's normally where your little boy juice would have been, but as I said before, you haven't hit puberty yet, so you were not able to produce any.”
“Why do you want that?”
“So that women can still get pregnant and re-populate Terra if we ever need to,” I remember in school we learned Terra is the actual name for our planet. For many years people have called it earth. But the earth is the land we walk on. We can't walk on water. So why would we call the whole planet earth?
“Do you have any parents we can bring you back to?” Dr. Jostad asked.
“I do, it's my dad, and he is in hiding with my two older brothers.”
“We must find them. Do you know where they are?” I looked up at her. With tears in my eyes, I started to cry. I don't remember where they are. Even if I did find them, they would start a war on all of us. He would disown me now because I am a girl.” I am bawling now. “So actually I don't have any parents. I am alone now.” Dr. Jostad hugged me.
“We will have to find you a new family. One that would treat you as their daughter.”
I was taken to a room full of children. Of course all girls.
“This is where you will stay for a while. Most of these girls, are like you. They don't have parents.”
I look at all the toys in the room. Dollhouses and dolls, dress up clothes, makeup kits. I am in heaven. There are so many things to do here. I ran over to the dollhouse. I didn't notice that Dr. Jostad left until I heard a loud buzzer from the door. 'Were they locking us in?' I thought.
I looked at the dollhouse. Another girl was sitting there playing in it as well.
“Hello, what's your name?”
“My name is Forrest, Forrest Gump.” She giggled.
“Really?” I giggle as well.
“No my name is Floyd, but since that's a boy’s name and now I am a girl... like you. I am now Felicity.” She said.
“Did you pick out that name? It's beautiful.”
“Yes, I did and thank you. What's your name?”
“My name is Bailey.”
“What was your boy’s name?”
“Bailey as well. My mommy wanted a girl and chose this name. My dad hated it. Was always angry at my mommy for choosing my name. He would always call me Lee, which I never liked being called.”
“Do you wanna be my friend?” Felicity asked after a long pause. I smiled and nodded.
It was just about time for dinner. All the girls were excited. So was I. When the food came in, we thought it would be a pill. We were surprised it wasn't. I was looking at a whole table of something I never saw before.
“What is this? I was so confused. I picked up an object. It was strange to pick it up. Sniffing it, I took a bite. “Mmm yummy” I cried out. “What am I eating? To my surprise, Dr. Jostad came into the room. Well, actually it was a hologram of her. She was in another room at the moment. “That is called a Pizza. One of the scientists named Kadee, originally a male like you had started making food. It's digitally made from a computer.” My eyes were open more full than I have ever taken them.
“You mean, I can actually eat a real hamburger?”
“Yes. If you want I can digitally make you a hamburger from McDonald's.”
I looked confused. Staring at the floor. “What's a McDonald's?” Dr. Jostad laughed.
“McDonald's is a restaurant from way back. It started in 1940 in the City of San Bernardino, California.”
“I don't understand. Which California is San Bernardino in?”
“Well at the time McDonald's was founded it was located in the state of California. When the state split into six states, San Bernardino becomes part of South California.”
“That is very interesting. Is McDonald's still around?”
“As of right now, McDonald's and all restaurants closed up when we had a livestock shortage. The last cow became extinct fifteen years ago. Chickens are on the endangered species list. I remember when McDonald's shut down. They had a controversy on killing horses to be made for replacement of beef. That would be cow if you didn't know.”
“Can I try one of those hamburgers?”
“Sure thing.” She spoke through the communicator on her shirt. “Kadee could you bring a McDonald's Double Cheese Burger some fries and a Chocolate Shake.” She looks at the other girls. “Make that enough for all the girls in this room.”
The food came over to us instantly. I was so excited. Even my new friend Felicity. For the first time in my life, I was going to experience a hamburger. I grabbed my burger and everything that comes with it. With one bite, it was like my mouth was in heaven. I wanted to savor the taste as much as possible.
I looked inside the burger. There were two weird brown flat things. Not sure what it is. Two yellow floppy stuff in between the two brown things. I'm guessing they were cheese. Not sure if I am right. I see this flat round green thing. Then something I really couldn't tell what it was, but it was white and small. On top was some red stuff which tasted sweet and yellow stuff which was kind of sour. Over what I believe was a bun. I was so glad to eat my very first burger.
With all this excitement, I went to another room and found some beds. I laid down on one. Felicity saw me go to sleep. She was too scared to meet anyone else. She laid down next to me. I was surprised she took the same bed. It didn't bother me. I let her stay. I even hugged her. We fell asleep hugging.
“Sergeant Jostad, we have spotted a small group just in the desert of Central California. They are located in an old town. I have checked out an old map of California before the split. It looks like an abandoned town called Bodie, or what use to be a town.”
“Very good private. Let me know if you have more proof on who is there.”
I heard the whole conversation. I got out of bed and kissed Felicity before I did. I think I am falling in love with her. Getting out of bed, I walk over to Dr. or Sergeant Jostad. “Are you a doctor or a Sergeant?” I asked.
“Oh sweetie, I didn't know you were up. I am both. But to you, I am your doctor.”
“The place you were talking about Bodie sounds familiar. I think that's the town my dad and brothers are in.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, and if I am not mistaking, they're armed with weapons.”
“Bailey, we have weapons as well.”
“Yeah, but they have high tech weapons. My dad and his boss are there. They worked at a company that makes Nuclear Lasers.”
“Those are illegal.”
“My dad didn't care. He was planning on using them to assassinate the President. And if he gets his way, he will do it.”
“Thanks for letting us know.” She yells to a woman. “Natalie get me the President on the phone.” She looks at me again. “I'm sorry Bailey, but we may have to exterminate your father and everyone that's in that town.”
I start to cry. “I understand. But that means I will be an orphan.”
“Don't worry sweetie we have found you a nice family that wants to adopt you.”
“Who?” I ask.
“Sergeant Jostad, the president is on line 1.”
“I will tell you who in a little while.” She answers the phone. “Hello Madame President, we have a code red on a troop of men planning on assassinating you. If I were you, I would leave Carson City. These men are located within one hundred miles from you and the White House.” She listened over the phone. I remember hearing about these old phones our ancestors used to use. I think they called the iPhone and Androids. It makes me laugh that anyone used technology like that. Today’s phones are set up through brain waves. Just press a button on our wrist, and we can talk. The best thing is, it is almost virtually impossible to listen in on someone’s conversation. Only the owner of the phone can hear the other person’s conversation. But I do remember something my dad told my brothers. It's a bad thing. Something that could have caused problems between our families in the past. Should I tell her? I must tell her.
“Dr. Jostad. I have to tell you something.”
“Hold on Bailey, this is important.”
“So is mine,” I mumbled under my breath.
After about three minutes she got off the phone.
“Now Bailey, what was so important that you needed to interrupt me?”
“My dad is a hacker. I believe he just traced your call.”
“Why didn't you tell me earlier.”
“I wanted...” I couldn't even finish the sentence. I started to cry.
That evening I heard screaming in the hallway. “You can't take me!” It sounded familiar. I looked out the window of the room I was in. To my surprise, I saw one of my brothers being dragged in by the Androids. I looked around for dad and my other brother. I didn't see them. Dr. Jostad saw me looking out the window. Hearing a buzz, I stepped away from the door. I know what that means. She was coming in.
“Hello, Bailey. I have some good news and...” she stopped speaking.
“And what? Are my dad and my other brother okay?”
“I am sorry Bailey. Your father was shot and killed by the Android Secret Service of President Sophie.”
I started to cry. “And my brother?”
“Well, one brother of yours is here as you saw, the other one...”She sighed, “he committed suicide.”
My eyes were again huge. Tears were falling from my eyes. I screamed and ran to my bed crying my head off. Felicity walked in, laid next to me and hugged me.
“I heard what happened and I am sorry. I am an orphan as well. My parents both died in a fly-by shooting.” I looked up at Felicity. Still, with tears in my eyes, I hugged her and kissed her. I wasn't shocked that she kissed me back.
I woke up the next day to a new girl. I knew it was my sister, but to be funny, I went over to her. “Hello, what's your name?”
“I don't have a name after they forcefully changed me into a girl. What's your name?”
“My name is Bailey,” I giggle.
“Bailey? I have a brother named Bailey.”
“No, you have a sister named Bailey,” I say posing myself off to her.
“Bailey? Is that you? Wow, you look different. I hardly noticed you.” my new sister said. She started crying and hugged me.
“Have you thought of a name yet?” I said.
“Hmm... Well with my name being Joseph, I could be Josephine.”
