Author's Notes – Italics mean Ray's thoughts.

Chapter 3 – Finding out the Truth

Sunlight poured into to Ray's room the next morning. He groggily swung his legs over his bed and sighed.

"Another day of school...at least my parents are gone..." he sighed once more before finally committing himself to getting out of bed. Ray didn't even need to open his eyes; he knew his house so well. His feet took him to his closet where he got ready (without even looking in the mirror one might add). Then it was off to the bathroom where something strange happened.

Ray brushed his teeth and tied back his hair?! Ray thought for a minute whilst he tied his hair. Then (very Ray-like) he simply shrugged it off and trudged towards the kitchen for a breakfast of cereal. He packed his things and soon was off to school. While he walked he was amazed to see boys that he had never seen before stop and goggle at him with googly eyes.

"What are you staring at?" he snarled, his voice sounded higher than normal. Truthfully the gazes of all the boys made him nervous. He marched past them and broke into a dead run. His instincts had told him to run and so he had.

Huffing and puffing, Ray reached Henry Roscoe High. It was then that he realized that he had arrived early at school. He hung around the water fountains for what seemed like years, until finally he heard the bell ring.

"Class time..." Ray mumbled. He was a bit disappointed to have not seen any of his friends, especially Lily. He walked off towards his first class. Just then he walked right into ... Principal Waller.

"Sir! I'm sorry! I didn't see you..." Ray trailed off as he saw the kind expression on the normally sinister man. He smiled a painful smile and grumbled one word,

"Newbie." Upon hearing this, Ray almost laughed. Almost.

"I'm not a newbie! I'm –," But Mr. Waller cut him off by saying,

"Come to my office and I'll get someone to escort you around school! The line will be long for you...I can tell." Just then Ray felt his chest get considerably heavier. What? Ray thought to himself. This is weird.

"Here we are! You're first class ... History!" At that moment a girl whom Ray had never seen before came up to the principal.

"Um..." she said looking from the small piece of paper in her hand to Mr. Waller, and then finally to Ray. She smiled at Ray who, of course, smiled back.

"You're...Mr. Waller right?" Mr. Waller smiled his painful smile again. The girl smiled back unknowingly. Mr. Waller snatched the paper out of her hands. She looked confused, but then she turned to Ray and sighed.

"Hey, my name is Serena. I just umm moved here..." she explained. Mr. Waller broke up their one-way conversation.

"Now, now you two can talk later. As new students, you have a lot to learn. Mr. Travender, (A/N: I didn't know what to call the guy! :p)" He pointed a tall, young-faced teacher with a lean build and a bushel of brownish hair. "Please find these seats for these kids."

Then Mr. Waller walked straight out of the small classroom. Ray quickly spotted Travis and raced to sit in the empty desk next to him. He looked at Travis right in the eyes and smiled. Then, something weird happened. Travis blushed! Ray cocked his head and pulled a disturbed face. Travis was sure acting strange! Serena followed suit, and sat next to Ray. Before anything else funny could take place, Mr. Travender resumed droning on about the Rebellion of something rather. Ray began to nod off but then the bell signalling the end of first period, snapped him back into reality.

"O.K. so what to we have next Travis?" Ray smiled again at his friend, who looked shyly away.

"Ahem," Ray tried again, "what is your next class, Swami." Travis gave no reaction to the last word of Ray's question. Now Ray knew for sure that there was something terribly wrong with Travis. Just then, Serena walked up to Ray and whispered,

"I think he's just a shy guy. C'mon our next class is umm physics!" Ray rolled his eyes. Travis? Shy with him? As if!

The rest of the morning was a blur to Ray. All he remembered was a few boys whistling at him. Ray brushed it off, thinking that they were just trying to tick him off. However, the weirdest thing happened to him at lunch, when he tried to sit at his regular table with Robbie, Travis, and Lily.

"Hey guys!" Ray waved. His greeting was met with blushes (Travis and Robbie) and bewildered faces (Lily).

"Uh, can I sit here? Or is this seat reserved for someone?" Lily looked at him straight in the eyes.

"THIS particular seat is reserved for my BEST friend RAY. So you can just take your charming smile and friendly attitude somewhere else. Okay?" she ended the insult with a brilliant smile.

"But – but I AM Ray! Can't you see?" Lily smiled a smile that didn't extend up to her cold eyes. She began to laugh, high shrilled and cold.

"That is a good one! Check yourself out, Ray," She pulled out a compact mirror and gave it to him. Ray almost screamed out of horror and fear. He ran straight to the washroom and bolted into the one that read, "Boys" only to be met with the same reflection as in the compact mirror.

He had glossy, curly, black hair that was pulled back into a high pony tail. His facial features had changed as well. His eyes were bigger and a lighter shade of brown, while his lips were fuller than before. His hands were smaller and more delicate. His wrists were full of clanging bracelets of every size, shape and colour. He had become shorter and his skin tone was lighter. His eyes were accented with black makeup. However, he couldn't get over his new curvy body. He skin was smooth and clean. He gasped,

"Oh. My. God." Then he fainted.
