Chapter 10: Miss. Charlotte Jolie

"You sure about this Petey," Ivy asked holding the make-up brush in her hand.

"Yes I'm sure," he replied, "Halloween was the first time I felt confident in myself in a long time."

"Okay kid," she sighed. Ivy handed Petey the make-up brush while she pulled up the tutorial on her labtop. "So here are the basics, your not going to use the same make-up that we girls use so I brought over my theater make-up. It'll do until you can get your own."

She picked up a shade she thought would work for Petey and handed it to him before picking out her own make-up. "So… let's begin."

Hannah sat outside the boys' dorm. 'What's taking them so long,' she thought. Ivy had told her to meet her and Petey outside the dorm an hour ago.

"Ladies and Gentlemen," she heard Ivy say behind her. She turned to see Ivy standing next to… "I would like to introduce the one and only Charlotte Jolie."

He had on a simply black sleeveless dress that came just above the knees; simply tan tights and black high heels. His long auburn wig had been striated out so the bangs hung down in his eyes. His make-up wasn't perfect, but he looked amazing despite the small flaws. "Wow Pet… I mean Charlotte. You look amazing."

"Thanks Hannah," he replied.

"I'm going to get my camera," Ivy said rushing off to the girls' dorm.

"Hey Hannah," Petey asked shyly.

"What is it?"

"I was wondering if… if we could ditch Ivy… not that I don't love Ivy… but I kind of wanting to… show off my look to Gary."

Hannah twitched a little. She hadn't been back to see Gary scene Halloween and she really wasn't up to putting up with him. She fidgeted a little, trying to avoid the question.

"Hannah," he whined.

"Okay Petey," she sighed. She couldn't help but give in.

"Okay girls picture time," Ivy called rejoining them, "Big smile!"

Hannah wrapped her arms around Petey's waist, "But it's on you if we get caught."

They stood outside the door to Gary's cell. Petey's heart was beating so fast he thought Hannah could here it.

"You sure about this cutie." Oh yeah she heard.

"Yes I'm sure," Petey said. He nodded to the orderly who unlocked the door for them.

"Hey Gary," Hannah said nervously.

"My dear Hannah," Gary proclaimed, "I was beginning to think I would never see you again."

"You almost didn't," she muttered, "I came here for Petey and just so you know, not into you. Not even a little."

"I figured that my dear, but I didn't think you'd abandon me."

"I needed time Gary," she snapped. She breathed a heavy sigh. "I'm sorry Gary…" She didn't know what else to say.

"Whatever, and who's this," he asked noticing Petey behind her.

"It's… Charlotte," she giggled.

"Well hello beautiful." Hannah and Petey laughed at that. "What's so funny?"

"Gary it's me," Petey answered still laughing.

"Petey?! What the…"

"Remember Gary, we dress Petey up in drag for Halloween."

"I found I really liked it so Hannah, Ivy and B are helping me flesh out my drag look."

Gary stood there with his jaw on the ground. Now it was his heart that was beating fast. He couldn't believe what he was feeling, not that he hadn't wondered what it would be like to be with a guy, plus he had always thought Petey was a giant Femme boy. But could he really like Petey that way?

Hannah could see it in his eyes. Gary really did care for Petey, though he may have just realized what he was feeling. She smiled at that.

"So Gary," Petey said turning slowly, "what do you think?"

"It's… ah… I… well…" Gary could do nothing but stutter and blush. Petey was getting to him. "It's nice," he final chocked out. He looked down rubbing the back of his neck; he was as red as a tomato.

Hannah laughed, "oh Gary…" "Time's up ladies," the orderly called. All three of them laughed then. Hannah took Petey by the hand and started to lead him out when they were both stopped by Gary.

"Come see me tomorrow," he asked to Petey.

"Yeah," Petey smiled, "in drag or as his?"

"Either way," Gary responded, "just don't leave me alone in here okay. Either of you." Hannah smiled and shook her head. "Okay Gary," she said, "We'll be back tomorrow after school." She lead Petey out of the cell as Gary was left to his thoughts.

Note: Sorry this took so long, major case of writers block. Hope you enjoy, I know it's shorter than the last few chapters but I didn't think this one needed to be long. Happy Reading =^_^=
