Part 3: Pool Party
By Rachel Anne Keller
Chapter 1: Amanda
My god what am I doing? Here I am getting more and more involved with Kayla, and he’s a boy, a dirty deceitful brut just like the ones that hurt me.
‘Really? Is Kayla a boy? She doesn’t seem to act like a boy to me. We all thought she was a girl the first time we saw her and my opinion has not changed in the least.’
Nevertheless, he was born male and he definitely has a penis.
‘So having that makes him a boy? Well I thought it was actions and attitudes that made a person not physical characteristics.’
Well yes, that is what Mom and Dad always say.
‘Then what is Kayla really after all?’
She is definitely a girl.
‘And?’
I really do love her.
‘So?’
So I need to let her know that I love her for who she really is not her physical characteristics?
‘You’re batting 1000 Amanda.’
What if she doesn’t want to be a girl or doesn’t love me if she becomes who she really is?
‘Do you really need her to have female physical attributes to love her?’
Well no, I love her for who she is not what her body looks like.
‘As for whether or not she will love you, it is a risk everyone has to take, nothing in life is guaranteed.’
I know, I know but I’m scared.
‘You are a strong girl. You have survived everything that life has hit you with so far and you will survive whatever Kayla decides. Just show her how you feel and hope for the best.’
*Sighs* All right, I will try my best.
‘Now are we going to do the pool party you are planning so we can show off our new girlfriend or not?’
We are definitely going to have a pool party.
“MOM!”
“Yes Amanda I can hear you, as I’m sure the Royce’s and a few of our other neighbors heard you too.”
“I’m sorry Mom.”
“All right Amanda now what was so important?”
“Ummm, could I please have a pool party?”
“Amanda, why do you want to have a party all the sudden?”
“I…I…I want to introduce Kayla to my other friends.”
“Are you sure Kayla wants anyone else to know about her?”
“Well no, but I can always ask. Mom I really like Kayla and I don’t want her to go away.”
“Amanda, I understand how you feel darling, but are you sure that Kayla wants others to know about her?”
“You’re right mom. I really should speak to Kayla about this first. I’ll call her right now.”
“Well dear you know where the phone is.”
*Minutes later on the phone to the Royce residence*
“Is Kayla home? May I speak to her please?”
“Kayla, I want to throw a pool party and I was really hoping you would come and meet my friends. I know that they would like you almost as much as I do.”
“Amanda I really don’t think I’m ready to meet anyone else as Kayla, I was never really able to make friends as Kyle.”
“Oh girl, have some faith in yourself if not in me. I know you are a great person and I love you. I want all my other friends to know that you are my girlfriend. They already know I’m gay so my having a girlfriend will not be much of a shock to them.”
“Really? What about when they learn that the person you consider to be your girlfriend was born a boy?”
“Kayla you might be surprised, I actually think some of them would find that easier to accept.”
“But what about when school starts? Everyone will know me as a girl then I will show up at school as a boy. That will cause me all sorts of problems.”
“Kayla do you really ever want to go back to just being a boy? I think there is more girl in you then there ever was boy. Why don’t you just admit that you would prefer being a girl and then we can work on you being comfortable with it?”
“Honestly Amanda I am not ready to give up being a boy yet.” Did I just say yet? Yes, Kayla you did. “Really this is going way too fast for me to handle. Two days ago, I was a semi-normal boy. Then I was a cross-dresser for a night. Now I’m a girl for at least the next week. I really do not know what to think of all this Amanda.”
“Kayla, are you happy?”
“Yes.”
“Are you happier now or were you happier when you were a boy?”
“Umm… Now.”
“Do you think you will be happier going back to being a boy?”
“I don’t know.”
“Do you want to try so you can find out?”
“No.”
“Well then, what is the problem with people knowing you as a girl?”
“What if this isn’t right for me? How can it be right for a boy to want to be a girl?” Were you ever really a boy? You never acted like one. That is why boys didn’t want to be your friends. You hated the way they did things and you admired the way girls did them instead. But they didn’t want to associate with you either because you looked like a boy and were so shy. That’s why you were best friends with the librarian. “All right, so maybe I am a girl inside but I’m still a boy outside.”
“Kayla, have you looked in the mirror lately?” God what do I have to do to show her she really is female? It is so obvious if you just look past the book cover, the book reads girl from page one to the end. “Kayla it would have been almost impossible to make a boy look like a real girl. All it took for you was changing your hairstyle and getting you into a dress. If it wasn’t for your penis no one would ever think you were anything but a girl.”
“Yeah, I get your point but I am still not sure that I want everyone to know about me.”
“All I am going to tell them is that you are my new girlfriend who I am very proud of and that I want them to meet you. The pool party is just a fun way to do it.”
“OK, OK but if I become a social pariah, you get the joy of going into exile with me.”
“I would have it no other way my love. Well, I really need to get started setting up the party and inviting the other guests.”
“Would you like me to come over and help?”
“Of course I’d love for you to be with me and help out silly girl.”
“Well give me a little bit to get ready and I’ll be over.”
“Don’t forget to bring your suit Kayla. I’ll see you in a little bit. Bye.”
“Mom! The parties on, will you drive me to the store so I can pick up refreshments?”
“Yes dear, just give me about a half hour so I can finish up what I’m doing. Then I’ll run you to the store.”
“Thanks Mom.”
*Back on the phone*
“Hello, Sara? Hey, I’m throwing a pool party this afternoon. Can you make it? I want to start at around one o’clock.”
“Sure Amanda I’d love to come. Do I need to bring anything?”
“No, just you and your suit and before you ask … yes you can bring your boyfriend.”
“Um… What about my little sister? Mom said I can’t leave her at home alone.”
“Sure Sara she can even bring her boyfriend as long as he is cool with me ok? Make sure to let anyone know that if they have a problem with me that they should stay home.”
“Sure thing Amanda we'll see you at one.”
“Hello is Katie there? Hi Katie, pool party this afternoon my house around one. Can you make it?”
“Cool I’ll be there Amanda can I bring a couple more girls and their boyfriends?”
“No problem Katie, just remember the rules. Oh, no unattached boys allowed. I don’t want to have to throw them out for making passes at me.”
Chapter 2: Kayla
Why do I let myself get into these situations?
Because you really like Amanda and would do anything to please her? Great, right as usual, now what do I do?
Well getting ready to go over would seem the logical choice.
Wonderful, what am I going to wear?
Spoken just like a girl. Well I’d suggest your bikini then your new pink hoodie and the matching cute little short shorts and a pair of sandals.
I’d better get showered and shaved first.
Good idea.
After shower, shampoo, cream rinse, and shaving, Kayla struggled to put on her new white string bikini. Having never even thought of wearing this kind of suit before she never realized what a pain it was trying to get all the strings even and everything covered with such a small amount of material. After thirty minutes of pure frustration she was finally satisfied that she looked acceptable. With a new appreciation of what a girl goes through to look good she slid on her short shorts and hoodie. She then brushed out her hair and put in a high ponytail. Fussing with her make-up took up another thirty minutes and all she used was some eye shadow, mascara, and lip-gloss. Looking at herself in the mirror, Kayla started to have second thoughts about what she was doing.
Do I really want to go out in public looking like this?
Why not? You look absolutely fabulous.
That’s the problem I look like a girl, Christ I even have boobs.
Damn nice ones too if I must say so myself.
Yeah but this isn’t just going to be Amanda’s family that sees me this time it’s going to be a bunch of strangers.
Right strangers so who cares what they think.
I do.
Why do you care what a bunch of people you don’t even know think about you?
I don’t know, all I know is that when I was invisible I was safe. There is no way I can be invisible looking like this.
Right, maybe now we can make some friends.
OK but if everything goes to hell I am going to crawl into a hole and pull the top in on myself.
Fine whatever, just remember that Amanda cares for you and you will never be able to forgive yourself if you hurt her, and hurting yourself is really going to hurt her.
Ok I hear you. It’s not like I can ignore you after all, is it?
Actually no, it is rather difficult to ignore yourself.
Chapter 3: Amanda
“Mom are you sure we didn’t forget anything?”
“Amanda we bought enough hamburgers, hot dogs, drinks, chips, and dip to feed an army. Relax, your father is setting up the grill and everything else is ready for your party. Oh, and Ms. Royce called and told me that Kayla is finally ready and headed here now.”
“God, that girl takes longer getting ready than anyone else I know. I guess that’s why she looks so good.”
“Mom are you sure we didn’t forget anything?”
“Amanda we bought enough hamburgers, hot dogs, drinks, chips, and dip to feed an army. Relax, your father is setting up the grill and everything else is ready for your party. Oh, and Ms. Royce called and told me that Kayla is finally ready and headed here now.”
“God, that girl takes longer getting ready than anyone else I know. I guess that’s why she looks so good.”
At that moment, Amanda spotted Kayla walking up the drive and ran to greet her.
“Girl you look so cute in pink!”
Kayla blushed and gave Amanda a tight hug. “Thanks Amanda do you really think so?”
“Oh yes, you are definitely looking tasty today.”
“Amanda! Stop it you’re going to embarrass me to death.”
“Come on Kayla get real, you are absolutely beautiful and everyone that sees you is going to know it.”
“So what do you have on under the hoodie?” Amanda peeked into Kayla’s cleavage causing her to blush furiously from head to toe.
“Wow girl love the bikini, get that hoodie and shorts off so I can see the rest of it.”
“Mrs. Reynolds Help! PLEASE!”
“Awe MOM I just wanted to see Kayla’s new bikini!”
“Dear, let Kayla take her own clothes off, I’m quite sure she can do it without your assistance.”
“I know Mom but it would be so much more fun if she would let me help her.”
“All right if I let you see my bikini will you let me put my clothes back on?”
“Sure lover but that takes all the fun out of getting you undressed,” Amanda said with an evil leer on her face.
“Oh yes, you are definitely looking tasty today.”
“Amanda! Stop it you’re going to embarrass me to death.”
“Come on Kayla get real, you are absolutely beautiful and everyone that sees you is going to know it.”
“So what do you have on under the hoodie?” Amanda peeked into Kayla’s cleavage causing her to blush furiously from head to toe.
“Wow girl love the bikini, get that hoodie and shorts off so I can see the rest of it.”
“Mrs. Reynolds Help! PLEASE!”
“Awe MOM I just wanted to see Kayla’s new bikini!”
“Dear, let Kayla take her own clothes off, I’m quite sure she can do it without your assistance.”
“I know Mom but it would be so much more fun if she would let me help her.”
“All right if I let you see my bikini will you let me put my clothes back on?”
“Sure lover but that takes all the fun out of getting you undressed,” Amanda said with an evil leer on her face.
Kayla stripped out of her pink hoodie and shorts and let Amanda admire her in her little white bikini, before putting them back on. They spent the next hour cleaning up the pool and deck area, and setting up chairs and tables to eat at with the help of Mr. And Mrs. Reynolds and their staff. As they were finishing up, the other guests for the party started arriving.
Chapter 4: The Party
The first guests to arrive were Sara and her little sister Taylor and their boyfriends Steve and Brad. Amanda holding Kayla by the hand walked up to the two couples as they entered the rear of the Reynolds home.
“Hi Sara this is my girlfriend Kayla, Kayla this is a friend of mine from school Sara and her sister Taylor.” Amanda whispers to Sara, “Sorry but I have no idea who your boyfriends are.”
“That’s all right Amanda, this is Steve and my sister’s date is Brad.”
“While you all help yourselves to drinks and munchies, Kayla and I will go greet some more of our guests, since I can see them pulling into the driveway now.”
As they walked away, Brad and Steve mentioned how it was a pity how all the really cute girls always turned out to be lesbians.
“Listen here Mister Macho for your information I know that Amanda will never let a boy touch her because of what one of you did to her and if she and Kayla love each other than it is none of your business. So if you have a problem with my friend then just go get back in your car and leave. Taylor and I can easily find another way home.”
“Whoa Sara, ease up a little I wasn’t trying to insult you or your friend. I’ll keep my mouth shut if I can stay here with you. That is why I came anyway.”
“What did you mean by all the really cute ones? Are you two trying to say Taylor and I aren’t cute?”
“Sorry Sara but I seem to be having trouble talking with my foot in my mouth. I think you and Taylor are beautiful, OK?”
Taylor whispered to her sister, ‘What was that all about?’ Sara grinned, ‘Nothing really, but now they will think before opening their mouths and be much less likely to have roving eye disease during the party.’ Taylor giggled as she gave her sister a high five.
Amanda saw her friend Katie get out of her new Camero, and ran over to greet her.
“God Katie, I adore your new car what color is that?”
“Would you believe they call it Metallic Cream de Menthe?”
“Totally awesome, I thought you were going to bring the gang with you Katie?”
“They will be here in a little bit Amanda they were having a practice session and are still packing up the instruments. They should be here in thirty minutes or so.”
“Oh cool, hey do you think they would feel like playing a bit at the party?”
“Can’t hurt to ask.”
Katie pulled out her cell and speed dials a number.
“Chris, Hi sweetie Amanda wondered if you guys would feel up to playing at her party for a bit.”
“Sure her father has had bands play at parties plenty of times. Sure sweetie I’ll see you in what twenty minutes. Great, love you. Bye.”
“Done deal, Amanda.”
“Thanks Katie, you are great.”
“Hi Sara this is my girlfriend Kayla, Kayla this is a friend of mine from school Sara and her sister Taylor.” Amanda whispers to Sara, “Sorry but I have no idea who your boyfriends are.”
“That’s all right Amanda, this is Steve and my sister’s date is Brad.”
“While you all help yourselves to drinks and munchies, Kayla and I will go greet some more of our guests, since I can see them pulling into the driveway now.”
