Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determined to win.

After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

“Is this your makeup in the bathroom?” My heart stops. I deny it. But she knows it’s mine. I've asked her out so many times, but each time she's told me no. Until now. After our dinner, I press my luck. Maybe just one drink back at my apartment? It's my only shot. And now it’s over because I didn’t hide my makeup.

This research study is the answer to my prayers. The only thing that will keep me from failing psychology. Extra credit, and all I have to do is get 4 injections? But why won’t they tell me what the shots do? It’s my sophomore year of college, and I don't know if I’m cut out for this. I don’t have any friends. My grades have gone from bad to worse. And no matter how much I study, nothing sinks in. Then there’s my advisor. Everyone thinks he’s great. The girls think he’s so hot. I think he’s annoying. Telling me to sign up for tutoring.

"Trust me, you'll love this," she says. My heart races when she hands me a pair of black stockings. I stare at her, but she just nods. I sit and slowly pull them up my legs. I’ve never felt anything like this before. Never imagined anything could feel this good. But I stop. I shouldn’t do this. I shouldn’t like this. I’m a man. Then her hands find mine — she kisses me — and I forget all my doubts. My fears are gone. “That’s my girl,” she says. No one has ever called me that, but I nod my head. I am her girl.

I only had to wear a dress for one night. Just long enough to fool my boyfriend’s parents. I didn’t know it would change my whole life. My boyfriend hates his family. His spiteful sister and his very anti-gay mom and dad. But they’re also very rich. And if he wants his inheritance, we have to pretend to be a straight couple. That means I need wear a dress and makeup. But only one time. Just for dinner. So why do I buy more women’s clothes every time I watch one of these silly videos that comes to my inbox? And why am I flying to a clinic that promises to help me become who I’m ...
