A/N Try to get this out btwn school work. TY for the support. Don't worry it's not near done. I'll keep writing till it's finished. What is unknown is how long it will take me to finish. Whelp. WOLF IS OUT OF THE BAG PEOPLE! PREPARE FOR THE SHOCK! or the 'ah ha!' moment.

Jade POV

I wanted to kick myself. It all made sense now. If Carter had been going to school here, how had I not known him? Especially if he had a class with Cat at one point (she would have chewed my ear off about it). Because Carter had a sex change (and grew like 2 feet taller since I saw him/her last). Same long hair but before Carter always kept it down.
Damn. No wonder I knew I didn't like Carter. That there was something hidden. But I didn't know it was something that far.
"Jade?" Tori shook me. I had been too quiet for too long.
"Carter, I remember now, Carter was a girl." A pretty hot girl at that. She and Cat were working on a project that night.
"Wow..." Tori was awe struck.
"Yeah..." The awkward was setting in. I had made that realization during sex…

Tori had a 1000 yard stare about her.

"Tori," I rested my hand on her's. She looked up at me. "We'll talk about this in the morning, for now, just us, okay?"

"Okay," She half smiled and we cuddled into each other. This time Tori's back to my front, my arm secure around her side.

Carter POV

Something was in the air, I could sense it the instant I woke up. My legs were beyond sore. And I was weighted down by a small red head snuggled on top of me. I stroked the long red velvet hair and smiled as I looked down at her sleeping face. We had fallen asleep like this after Cat had made sure her parents were okay with her staying over. She looked cute in one of my under shirts and boxers snuggled up to me like this.

She yawned rather adorably and rubbed her eyes looking up at me. "Oh… is it time for school?"

"No not yet, you can sleep some more if you want," I stroked her hair again.

"No… I'm awake," She sat up and yawned a bigger yawn and stretched her arms out.

"Okay, want some breakfast?" I smiled up at her.

"Mhm…" She got up and sleepily walked to my door.

"I'll be down in a second," I told her as she walked out, I noticed her micro-nod before she disappeared from view.

I cursed under my breath as I fought with my pants. There was no way I'd be able to walk today in these. As I got them off past my knees the metal bracers shown in the low light that crept in from the door Cat left open. I yanked the locking mechanism open and liberated my legs.

Yes, I wear part-robotic part-stilt legs. Without them I'm barely taller than Jade.

Girls like tall guys. And I was neither.

I figured out this whole idea after my first year at Hollywood Arts. Since I couldn't seem to attract girls (and attracted men by the hundreds), I made myself more manly. Dressed like one, act like one, even use my technology skills to give myself the parts I lacked. And it worked.

Women loved me, chased me, and even obsessed over me.

But despite my outer change I was still me inside. I knew how I always wanted to be treated and treated every girl I dated like that, being a gentleman, caring for them, helping them, and being there for them when they needed me.

But, I couldn't find the right girl. We wouldn't work. We'd be too different, too the same, too weird, or too normal for each other. Some knew I was really a girl, some didn't, and some I told but ignored it.

Lana Cougar knew, she was one of the few I really did love, but we weren't right for each other. She is a woman and I am a girl pretending to be a man.

I thought Tori might be the one, or Jade. But they are perfect with each other. And I'm too good of a person to even bother trying to figure my feelings out when they still need to get a handle on theirs.

I looked at the tattoo, now faded on my wrist. A nautical star, etched into my skin with pale green ink. I pulled my hair tie from my hair and let it drape around me as I stretched my legs.

Running my fingers though my dark hair I went to the bathroom to take everything else off me that I wasn't born with. It didn't take long, but when I walked out half taking my chest wrap off, Cat was there.

"What's taking so long?" She tilted her head looking up at me.

"Sorry, just getting settled in my own skin, I suppose," I took her hand dropping my wrap to the floor.

"Kaykay," It wasn't as enthusiastic as usual but her small warm hand fit in mine well as we walked down to the kitchen. I started pulling out pans while Cat sat on the counter. She knew my ruse, only because she remembered the old me, the me I am under the metal and makeup.

My hair was well long enough to cover my breasts, and then some, not that I was shy. My skin felt cool now that it was, for once, fully exposed to the air. Our hands parted and I started making omelets. I could feel Cat's eyes on me, though usually I didn't mind, but this look was something different. They were burning on me, I could tell without turning around. My usual pants for when I wear the stilts hung to my hips, the extra long pants legs dragged along the floor when I moved. Just the top elastic of my boxers showed.

I wondered if she felt it awkward since I wasn't fully dressed, I would put clothes on if she asked. But she stayed silent. I finished cooking and set the food out on plates on the counter by where she sat. We ate in silence.

I didn't look up at her and I no longer felt her eyes on me. I knew there was something wrong about today, but this isn't it.

Cat finished before me and put her dishes in the sink.

There was no way in hell I'd be able to go to school dressed as usual. It didn't really matter though, as long as kept to the shadows everything would be fine. Cat helped me pick out my clothes. I slipped on a black lace bra and a black tank to show my cleavage, my usual silver wolf charm necklace, and put on a regular pair of blue jeans.

Cat borrowed a black mini skirt from the back of my closet and a grey tank. She looked a little darker than usual in that kind of clothes, but it was all I had that would fit her. I brushed my hair out long and headed outside with Cat.

I decided to drive my mom's old motorcycle to school. She rarely drives it and it's really cool. The detail on the paint is designed to make it look like a black wolf.

I gave Cat the helmet and slid onto the machine. Her arms secured around me tight and I headed for school.

Tori POV

Jade was looking around when we arrived at school, for what I wasn't sure. I hoped she wasn't looking for Carter to tell him off or pick a fight. I really didn't want to dredge this back up. Sure, my boat was majorly rocked when Jade told me that Carter was once a girl, now a guy, but I think that we should let things be and not stir up anything. Yet, here I was waiting with the one person I know who can stir up trouble the best.

I looked around with Jade for Carter's familiar black convertible without a single sighting.

"He comes to school early most days, maybe he's already inside?" I asked her, hoping I was wrong about her waiting for Carter.

"Yeah, but I don't see his car anywhere…" She confirmed my fears and she scrutinized the parking lot and everyone in it.

"Jade it's getting close to first bell," I tugged at her arm.

"So go ahead inside." She waved me off.

I huffed. I can't believe she was more interested in confronting Carter then me. I walked in without a second thought. And repeated the same stupid move I did so long ago. I walked right up to my locked oblivious to my surroundings and tripped over something.

I was caught in the arms of a girl, with pale skin, and emerald green eyes. I did a double take.

"Carter?"

She blinked at me and a blush spread across her face, "So much for a low profile day, I suppose…" I heard her grumble, in a voice totally unlike the one I've heard before. It was softer, sweeter, and a hundred times more feminine.

"You…" I blinked at her amazed.

"Yes Tori, I'm a girl," She stated rather matter-o-factly.

"But I thought you…" my voice lowered, "Had a sex change…"

She blinked at me, apparently amazed I knew. "No," She said softly back, "just dress up and ummm… you know, use robotics to make up for the rest…"

"Oh…" I nodded mouth agape some.

"Let me help you up," she helped me to my feet. I realized we were nearly the same height now; she was just a bit taller. She was still the same gentleman er well woman.

"Thanks, sorry about tripping on you… again." I blushed.

"It's alright," She giggled. It was strange knowing it was the same person on the inside, but totally different exteriors. Well not totally since the frame, the base, was still the same.

"Hey!" Cat bounced over wearing a darker color scheme of clothes than usual.

"Hi Cat," I smiled, "What's with the clothes?"

"I slept over at Carter's and borrowed them," She yawned, "I'm still a little sleepy though." Then she giggled.

"Oh," I looked at Carter expectantly, but she mirconodded a 'no' to me. I relaxed a little. So they didn't have sex, just hung out. Okay… wait what was I worried about? It's Cat's choice, and she did seem to like Carter, both Carters.

"You." Oh now I remember… Jade.

I looked over Carter's shoulder, not before seeing the serious look she had on her face. It all happened in a matter of seconds. Carter obviously knew it was Jade and quickly ducked and dodged between me and Cat then pulled us together as she darted off. I looked up at Jade just as she hit the brakes before crashing into us. She had started on Carter, but was about to ram us.

"Damn it," Jade muttered knowing well that Carter was way ahead and had many people between the two of them.

"Maybe," I turned to her, "you want to sound nice and friendly when you want to talk to her instead of scaring her off."

Jade narrowed her eyes at me but she knew I had a point.

"Cat," Jade grabbed her just as Cat was trying to quietly inch away.

"Whaty?" she struggled as Jade held her arm.

"Where'd Carter go?" She bore into the tiny red head.

"I don't know, class?" Cat shrunk back. Jade was about to blow.

"Okay," I pried Jade's hand off Cat, "Let's go to class and we'll see Carter at lunch, okay?"

Jade grumbled something I couldn't catch and we walked off. Cat threw me a thankful look and headed to her locker. I dreaded how this day might end.
