Marks School Experiance

by Susan Janet Barker

   

Chapter 2

Mark woke up the next morning after a troubled sleep, to the sound of his mum calling him from the doorway, "time to get up Susan, as breakfast is ready and don't forget your dressing gown as that nightie might ride up if you are not careful."

what nightly he thought to himself as he sat up and felt some pressure on his shoulders, looking down he saw that he was wearing a pink floral nightie with some thin shoulder straps holding it up.

He quickly through the duvet off and grabbing his dressing gown, dashed for the bathroom, dropping his dressing gown on the floor he lifted the front of the nightie, and not feeling anything down there looked down and almost collapsed onto the floor.

Luckily he leaned against the wall to keep his balance and lowered himself onto the toilet as memory's of yesterday came flooding back to him, when he was composed enough and had finished on the toilet he put his dressing gown on and made his way downstairs to meet his parents.

Janet and Steve watched as their son entered the room and sat down at the breakfast table with a look of realisation on his face, "Mark, your father and I have been discussing your situation at length, and even we would not have believed what you did yesterday was in you or, we would have been harder on you for your past troubles" Lucy said.

"We are lucky in that Miss Smart is in charge and was able to offer us this situation as suitable punishment, because if she wasn't you would be waking up behind bars this morning instead of sitting here talking to us."

"I understand mum and I am sorry for what I did, truly I am, but I just don't know why I did it" he answered.

"I know that you are observant Mark and have your talents, but why can't you put them into study and getting along with others?" Steve asked.

"I don't know dad, I try but when I study I get distracted a lot and I just can not make friends with anyone although I have been trying."

"Well if this doesn't work Susan" using Mark's new name to hammer home the point, "you know where you will end up" Janet said.

She was interrupted then as the doorbell rang and so got up and went to answerer it, finding that it was Sarah and her mum, so she let them in and escorted them back to the dinning room.

"Hello Susan and Mr Barker" Sarah said as soon as she walked into the room.

"Good morning Sarah, Lucy" Steve said in reply.

Looking up from the table Susan saw that Sarah was holding a coat-hanger with a T shirt and skirt on it along with a carrier bag, "are those clothes for me Sarah," Susan asked while motioning with his head.

"Yes Susan, lets go to your room and talk while I show you how to wear these clothes and things," she answered.

Leaving the adults to talk in the dinning room, Sarah followed Susan upstairs and waited in his room while he showered and towel dried his hair, once he entered into the bedroom Sarah said, "before we do anything Susan, I am truly sorry for what I did to you."

"Don't worry about it Sarah, as I understand that I provoked you and the others for a while and spying on you all getting changed was a step too far."

"If you knew that you were taking it too far Susan, why did you continue doing it?"

"I don't know Sarah, all I know is that I was lonely and bored as I could not make any friends in or out of school as my mind is always working on something, so I found myself unable to just chill out and relax like you seem to be able to do with no problems."

With a softer voice Sarah said "Oh Susan, I had no idea and just did not realise that all this time most of the school thought of you of a loner who always got into trouble, when in reality you were just looking for friends to hang out with" pausing a second for a thought she asked "I would like to be your friend if, you would let me?"

"Thanks Sarah, I would like it very much" he said with a small tear running down his left cheek, "And to make things clearer I feel that because of what we have gone though, there is nothing that we can not tell or show each other." he answered as he slipped into the bra and panties that where resting on the bed.

He pulled the red T-shirt on before unconsciously lifting his longer hair out from under the collar of the T-shirt and stepped into the navy blue skirt that Sarah had provided, before settling on the edge of the bed beside Sarah and brushed his new hair until it shone and caught the rooms lights as he moved his head.

"Wow, Susan your hair sparkles know that you have finished brushing it", causing a little smile to appear on Susan's face, "I wonder how mine would look and you have to tell me how you managed that with only one day to practice in."

Getting up, Susan said "Why wait Sarah, sit in my chair and I will see if I can make your hair shine as well", "But what about my mum and your parents downstairs waiting for us?"

With a little shrug Susan said, "they need the time to talk, just as much as we need the time to bond and expand out new-found friend status", Susan continued talking as he started brushing Sarah's hair, "You know I don't know if I will every get over dressing as a girl, but I will try and blend in as much as I can so you are not embarrassed too much around me."

Sarah though to her self while Susan was brushing her hair It certainly feels different to how mum brushes it, and it is defiantly different than Debbie, Jackie or Laura when we do each others hair.

Laughing at Susan saying that she would try and blend in so as not to embarrass her, "Susan, people are going to notice you with such gorgeous hair that shines like like, I guess I am going to have to show you how to ignore people staring at you."

Sensing a frown starting to form, she continued "Its ok Susan, you look one hundred percent female and the looks you will get will be envy from the other girls and lust from the boys who will possibly see you as a conquest, but don't worry about them."

"I remember someone saying why worry about what you can't change as you can't fix it, of and my added bit is if you look good, don't be afraid to show it as if look like you are hiding something, you usually are, so just relax and don't worry about it."

Feeling somewhat soothed by Sarah's voice, Susan carried on with the brushing and when he was finished, he stood back and looked at her hair and then down to his hands that still held the brush and back again to Sarah, at which she asked "It is not that bad is it Susan, let me get up and look at it."

With a small nod from Susan, Sarah slowly stood up and closed her eyes so that she would get the full affect, turned around to face the mirror she opened her eyes to see that her hair was as reflective as Susan's and felt her moth drop open in a stunned shock at what she was seeing.

"What, How, How have you managed to do that Susan?" Running a hand through her hair saying "my hair feels like silk."

"I don't know how I did it Sarah, All I know was that I felt my hands get hot as they do sometimes and I just channelled the heat into my brushing, I wish I knew how I did it but I just do not know."

"It's ok Susan, but I think we need to go down stairs and see what they have all decided to do while we have been up here", so the two girls walked down the stairs and into the dinning room to their awaiting parents.

To say that the conversation that they were having was stopped short when the girls walked into the dinning room was an understatement, as the girls hair seemed to draw the sunlight that was shining in through the windows and reflect it around the room.

In the stunned silence that past Susan walked up to the table and said, "I take it from the silence that we pass mum, dad."

Quickly shaking his head side to side to clear it, Steve replied "of course you do darling and you look just as much a normal girl as Sarah dose."

"I agree" Janet said, "I just love what you have both done to your hair, but you will have to tell me later how you managed it Sarah in so short a time?"

"Oh no, you have it all wrong Miss Barker, both my hair and Susan's is all Susan's doing, and as for how she did it, you will just have to wait in line until after I find out myself as she is not saying at the moment..."

"Well in that case I believe that it is time to go shopping, so Susan you come with me and Sarah, as your parents have a some things to do at the moment and we will meet up with them later."

"Ok Miss Jones" Susan replied.

And with a weary sigh Susan followed Sarah and Miss Jones out to her car and settled onto the back seat to give himself some time to think, ok I know what I did was wrong but unless I want to end up in one of those detention facilities that I have heard about, I have no choice about being forced to look and act like a girl.

Then a thought came to him, ok I may look like a girl but I am not going to let Sarah or Miss Jones chose my clothes like I am a baby, so he settled down and clothed his eyes to think about what he could and could not do.

Before long the car pulled into the car park of the shopping centre and taking a deep breath Susan got out of the car with the others and followed Miss Jones as she said, "Come along you two lets have some smiles on those faces, I know you don't like shopping Sarah, but for another girl not to like it as well! I just don't know what I am going to do with you both."

With that startling piece of information, a idea suddenly formed in Susan's mind, quickly speaking up so as not to let the moment pass him buy, Susan said "Oh I don't mind shopping Miss Jones, it's just that I am not sure what will suit me, maybe Sarah has that same problem?"

"It could be Susan, it could be, but I guess you will both have to help each other decide what to get, but make no mistake young lady, you will be getting a complete wardrobe today, even if I have to buy it myself, do I make myself clear."

"Yes Miss Jones" Susan said followed by "I understand mum" from Sarah.

Thinking that was a nice shot Susan, now lets see how can I give you a reply without angering mum, Oh I know but I will just have to work it into the conversation as we go along, I bet Susan will not see this one coming.

As they entered the shopping centre, Sarah said "As you don't know the styles that are out at the moment, lets start with your clothes Susan" and half led, half pulled Susan into the first shop that just happened to be a lingerie shop.

Holding up a pair of panties that she wouldn't be caught dead in, Sarah said "how about these Susan" and witch Susan looked up from where she was looking and said "nice Sarah, very Nice."

But she was only pulling her leg so to speak, for while yes he was looking at the girls bodies in the changing room back at school, his expert eye to detail, did not forget to take in what clothes they were wearing and so after ten minuets of friendly banter between them, Sarah twigged on to the fact that Susan did in fact know what the fashion trend was at the moment and that he knew what he was doing.

When Susan realised that his little game was up he walked over to her and said, "truce Sarah?"

"Yes Susan, but I still have to get you back for that little comment as we walked in."

"Ok fair enough, as long as I have a chance to counter it if I can", realising at that time that Sarah's head held a very smart mind.

Thinking about it for a second, "sure" she said, "but you will never guess what I have in store for you" with a little grin.

Deciding that the girls had spent enough time in this store, Miss Jones called out to them to meet her at the checkout so that she could pay for the items, witch she did and led the way into the next shop where Susan didn't like the colour of the skirts and so didn't get any.

But the next shop was a different matter in that she walked straight up to an outfit on a manikin and said "Miss Jones, this outfit will suit me, can I have it?"

"I'm not sure Susan as it looks a bit old for you."

"Can I please try it on and see, as I would like some choice in what I wear please?"

"Ok Susan, but I will only get it for you if it looks ok on you."

"That's fine Miss Jones" Susan said as she went to find a sales assistant to help.

Once Sarah could see that Susan was out of ear shot she looked up at her mum and said "She seems to be handling it well mum."

"I know Sarah, she is still trying to control the situation and keep some independence but if she know what was really happening, she might react differently but, hopefully she will not know for a while."

"I understand mum, but it is hard keeping secrets from her and act as if you don't know them."

"I know sweetheart but it is for the best, Susan should be changed by know lets go and find her to see how she looks."

"Ok mum" Sarah said as she headed towards the changing rooms.
