CHAPTER ONE: MPOV
"Yeah, yeah, mom I know. Alright I got it," I said to my mom, trying to get her to leave me alone. I turned to leave before she could propose any new ideas.
I ran up the curving staircase of my mom's home and turned right through the first white door into my room. I flopped down on my bed, tired from the stress of the day. I always hated switching days.
These days were the ones I had to leave one of my parent's houses and go to the others. This happened almost every 3 or four months, so I had a lot of packing to do. I had almost finished packing, and I was too tired to finish.
Suddenly, my phone next to me lit up and started vibrating. I glanced at the name on the top before clicking the answer button.
"Hey A," I said happily. It was Ari, my twin brother. I never really got to see him, because we were usually at the other parent's house, so neither parent was alone. We talked a lot on the phone though, and I missed him, he was definitely one of my best friends.
"Hey Max, are you in your room?" he asked sounding distracted.
"Uhh, yeah, why?" I asked quizzically.
"Good," I heard him speak, I could tell he was smiling, "open your window if it isn't already, I'll be there in a second." He clicked off the phone and I wondered what he could be up to this time.
I got up from the bed and threw the window open and pulled the curtains off to the side. I stuck my head out the window and glanced all around. I didn't see his car, yet.
I listened hard, then heard the faint sound of a beautiful engine purring, coming closer and closer to the house.
Then turning in from the right I saw his sleek black car. I smiled as I saw him turn into the driveway. The soft engine purred off and he quietly opened the driver's side door and swiftly walked to the grass area below my window.
"Go back!" he whispered from the first story, waving his arms back.
I stood back from the window and sat on my bed, gazing at my almost-filled suitcase.
"Ow, God those plant thingies have grown since I tried that last time," Ari said, his head popping up in the window. He swung one leg over the window sill, then the other.
"Did you really just climb the ivy fence ladder thing again A? There's something that I heard they invented… it was called like a, front door or something, heard of it?" I asked looking at the scrape on his forearm.
"It was the only way I could get up here without mom noticing. I have news," he said coming to sit down next to me.
"Aren't you supposed to be coming to mom's house today anyways? You know, switch day. I thought I saw a suitcase in your car…" I asked questioningly.
"Well, yeah, but alright, okay so do you remember my band? The Flyboys? Well, I just got a call from the head of a major record company in LONDON! And this could be it, Max! We've been trying to make it this far for years, and I think this is our big break!" Ari said excitedly.
"Okay, so… London? That's great and all, but I'm not quite following you…" I said a bit confused.
"Uh, I'm leaving for London, tonight, and I'm only gone for a little while, but I know dad wouldn't approve of me leave for London right when I'm supposed to start at that new school, Sapphira Private? So Dad thinks I'm staying here with mom for another two weeks before Sapphira, and mom thinks I'm staying with dad, and then leaving for Sapphira." He said rushed.
"Oh God, you want me to cover for you," I said realizing his plan, "Well it won't be that hard, I mean mom and dad never talk anyway-"
"I guess you could say covering, well there's something else I need you to do for me, something huge."
"Okay… what?" I asked hesitantly.
"You need to take my place at Sapphira." He said quickly.
"WHAT! How could I even do that? I'm a girl! I'm not going to cut all my hair off and start wear boxers! Ari!"I screamed at him.
"Shh! Mom'll hear you! And well, you could wear a wig or something, but please, this is huge for me, mom and dad worked really hard to try and get me into this school, I can't just blow it by leaving for London, you need to help me!" Ari pleaded.
I contemplated the idea. I'd always been sort-of a tomboy all my life, so I know how to talk like a guy…
"Remember that time you made me put on a wig and go take your Chemistry final for you because I had already aced mine and you were freaking out? Yeah, you owe me!"
"That was one day! Not a whole freaking SEMESTER!" I said quietly.
"Fine, but Max, come on! I've been waiting for this big break for my whole life!" He pleaded, starting to give me the puppy face look.
"…fine. As long as you're not still going out with that Lissa bitch! She's awful, and there's no way I'm gonna be going out with a girl!"
"Done, and done. I broke up with her last week. Although, I don't think she quite got the clue…"
"Alright then, fine I'll do it…" I said giving in.
"Yes! Thank you so much Maxi!" he said picking me up and twirling around.
"Ari put me down!" I giggled.
"Okay! But first, you have to call Dad, tell him you've decided to stay here a little longer," he said handing me my cell.
I pressed the contacts button and went to favorites, and pressed the call button.
"Hello?" Jeb answered.
"Hey dad, it's me, Max! you know I think I've changed my mind, and I wanna stay at moms house for a little longer, I wanna spend some more time with Ari…"I said convincingly.
"Uh, okay, does your mother know that? I'm fine with it. I need to get some work stuff done anyway."
"Yeah she does, thanks dad! Love you! Bye!"
"Love you too Max, bye."
"Good, now you've gotta tell mom you're staying here for an extra two weeks, then say you're going to dads place when you leave for Sapphira. I've gotta go now, gotta catch my plane to London! Thanks so MUCH for doing this for me Maxi! He said picking me up again.
"Alright, alright, but you owe me big time!" I said hugging him back.
"I know! Oh and your uniform is going to be coming in the mail in about 3 days. It's coming here. You have to get it before mom does!" He said.
"Okay, I will. Ari? Have a safe flight, and I'm sure you'll do great. Good luck brah!" I hugged him again.
"Thanks max, bye!" he said trying to find a foot hold on the ivy ladder again.
I watched him get into his shiny black car, and drive away.
God, this is crazy, I'll have to go get a wig, and buy guy clothes, for when I'm not in uniform, and learn to act like a total guy. Great.
I picked up my phone and texted my best friend, Ella.
Ella, you have to get to my house asap. I hve huge news. And I need help! When I finished typing I pressed the send button immediately.
She responded within 10 seconds with, aight, I'm coming!
I ran down the curved staircase to the kitchen to see my mom. She was stanging at the island cutting carrots for dinner.
"Mom? I've decided I'd like to stay here for an extra two weeks, and then I'm going to leave for dads place. Is that alright?" I asked.
"Yeah sure, that's okay. Your dad knows right?" she said absorbed in her cutting.
"Yup, of course!" I said walking to the family room. I plopped down on the couch and turned the TV on to MTV. Before watching even 10 minutes of Jersey Shore, I heard the doorbell ring.
I jumped up and ran to the foyer and threw the door open to see Ella.
"Follow me!" I said quickly before running up the stairs to my room again, Ella on my heels.
As soon as we were in my room with the door closed, I explained everything that just happened with Ari.
She just sat there on my bed with her jaw open.
"You know what this means? We need to go to a hair salon, right NOW." She said when I had finished talking.
"Alright then… let's go!" I said spontaneously. I opened the door and walked down the staircase, shouting to my mom as I went. "Mom! I'm going out with Ella! Be back soon!"
"Okay! Bye!" I heard right before closing the front door.
We walked to my car, an exact replica of Ari's, except it was a dark blue color. We practiced out guy imitating as we drove to the hair salon.
"Dude, turn left, you almost missed it." Ella said making her voice lower and deeper, and trying not to giggle.
"Aight, I got it man. I know how to drive, chill. Dawg." I said with the same voice.
Ella burst out laughing, saying "okay, you can't say 'dawg', please, it's awful and hilarious, and I bet only like, 10% of guys say 'dawg'."
"Aight man, were here," I said pulling into a parking space right in front of the Fuzion Hair Salon.
As I walked inside, I felt a breeze of cool air hit me. Jean-Paul was standing at the podium when we walked inside. He greeted me immediately with, "OH Maxi! You look so good! Do you vant a cut, color, or a style today, mmm?"
"Acctually, JP im here for something a little more obscure today, do you have… wigs?" I questioned.
"Mmm, ov course vee do. Vee also av custom vigs!" he said secretively behind his hand.
"Great, well I need a wig to look just like Ari's hair. Can you do that for me JP?" I asked.
"Ov course, ov course! Vollow me!" he said leading Ella and I to a chair in the back of the hair salon.
"Vell, first you vant to pull zee 'air back into a tight bun. Zen, you need to pin back all zee extra 'air, an put on a 'air wig cap liner." He said pulling my hair back and putting a tight-fitting cap over my hair, making me look like I have some extremely tight pantyhose on my head.
"First, vee vill try other vigs vee already 'ave made, zen, we can coostimize your wig like Ari's 'air," JP said taking a brown wig from behind his mirror. It fit on my head perfectly, except it didn't look anything like Ari's hair. He took the wig off, then placed another on, which felt like perfect humans' hair. It came down to about my mouth.
"Alright, now vee vill cut it to look like zee 'air of Ari. Do zoo 'ave a photo ov Ari?" he asked playing with the hair on the wig.
"Yeah," I said reaching into my purse for my wallet. I pulled out a picture of Ari and I, it was a professional one that my mom did about 3 months ago. Although being a Vet was her main job, she loved to take professional photos. I handed Jean-Paul the photo and he began chopping away the pretty brown locks of the wig.
"Ooh it's starting to look like Ari!" Ella said excitedly after about 5 minutes of profuse chopping. I looked into the mirror, and she was right, JP was doing an excellent job. It was about three inches of hair, just like Ari had, and it would all be brushed toward the middle and front. It was dark drown, just like my hair and Ari's as well.
(A/N: picture of the wig and Ari on my profile!)
"All done! Do you like it?" JP said running his hand through the hair.
"It's perfect! It looks just like his hair!" I said pushing my hands through it as well.
"Good, you can vash it in zee sink or shower, but be very delicate vith zee vig. It can break and zee 'air can fall out." Jean-Paul said spinning his scissors around his fingers. I pulled the wig off and the cap off as well. "Can I get a few extra of these cap liner lings too?" I asked pulling my hair out of the bun as well.
"Sure," JP said as I followed him to the podium at the front again to pay, "zat vill be $104, please." I pulled out my mom's credit card that I happened to nick from her before we left. When he finished with the credit card he handed it back to me and I put it back in my purse.
"Zank you Maxi! Tell your mum I zaid hello!" he said handing me my bag with the wig and cap liners.
"Alright I will! Thanks JP!" I said pushing the door to the salon open and leaving.
We got in the car and we headed to Kohl's, it was really cheap and im sure it had suitable boys clothing. When we got there we got about 7 white t-shirts, 3 pairs of jeans and 4 of shorts. Ella helped me pick out lots of different t-shirts and jackets. We had practically finished until Ella remember something vital, boxers. Ew.
"I bet you'll be the only dude there wearing a thong under their boxers…" Ella giggled looking at different colored pairs.
"Well I'm definitely wearing my underwear underneath those… boxers." I said looking around at the different styles.
She picked out about 10 different pairs and I threw them into the cart. The most awkward part though, was checking out. The guy at the register was really cute, and was pretty weirded out that I was buying all these guy clothes. It's not like I'm a hermaphrodite…
"They're for my brother…" I tried to explain to him. I wasn't really lying; they were in a way for Ari.
"Yeah, okay…" he said continuing to scan the boxers. I paid with my mom's credit card again and we took all the bags out to my car.
I spent the rest of the week learning how to be a guy, with much help from Ella and plenty of calls to Ari.
I had to wrap my boobs in a tight body wrap material so I looked more like a man. Ella also had me working out more to look more muscular.
I took many precautions and spent so much time preparing for the real first day, as a guy.
