Austin broke oke into a fit after just a few steps.
Elijah gave him a cool glance but stopped walking anyway
Cameron caught up quickly. “Waiting for me?” she asked.
Elijah nodded. “Yeah. Everything okay?”
“Everything’s fine,” Cameron replied,
Austin coughed violently.
Cameron turned to him with concern. “Austin, why are you coughing again?”
“Wasn’t he off those meds? Cameron thought.
Getting Cameron’s attention made Austin smile. “Cam, I’m fine. Just ran a little too hard back there.”
Cameron nodded, and the three of them headed back to the dorm together.
The next day, after morning study hall, Cameron asked Brody for the morning off. She had something important to take care of, something that absolutely needed to be handled before her SATS. Otherwise, things would get complicated.
Back in her dorm room, Cameron changeil out of her school uniform. She pulled on a simple white tee and light blue jeans with white picture of youthful energy.
Her short hall framed her delicate face, while those eyes carried a determination well beyond her years.
Elijah pushed the door open just as she finished getting ready. He froze in the doorway “Cameron, you’re going somewhere?”
Cameron nodded. “Yeah.”
“Anything up?” Elijah asked.
“Just some stuff I need to handle, Cameron replied. She slung her black backpack over her shoulder, gave Elijah a quick wave, and headed out
Elijah walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and watched the crowd of students below, He stood there until he spotted that white-clad figure appear in his line of sight. Only after she disappeared from view did he finally turn away.
Cameron left school and hopped into a taxi. “Take me to the mall closest to Crownhill Hospital,”
Half an hour later, the cab pulled up at the entrance. Cameron paid the driver and made a beeline for the women’s clothing section on the second floor.
“Hi there! Can I help you find something?” The saleswoman approached with a bright smile. “Shopping for a girlfriend or mom today?”
“God, this guy is gorgeous, she thought “And that skin is flawless.
Cameron didn’t miss a beat. “It’s for me.”
The saleswoman blinked, momentarily speechless.
Cameron’s eyes quickly scanned the clothing racks until they landed on a white dress displayed on a mannequin.
“I’d like to try that one on Cameron pointed to it.
The saleswoman hesitated. “Sir, this is one of our summer collection pieces. It’s got that innocent, first-love vibe. Very soft. You sure you want to try it
Camerog nodded. “Yes, I do.”
Reluctantly, the saleswoman took the white dress down and handed it to Cameron, who disappeared into a fitting room.
The sales staff immediately huddled together. It was only nine in the morning, and Cameron was their only customer,
“Such a good-looking guy,” one whispered. “Never would’ve guessed he was into that. What a waste”
“I know, right? Way hotter than those pretty boys on TV, Such a shame.”
“Totally”
It was exactly like when Cameron first went shopping for women’s clothes.
“Excuse me.” Cameron’s voice drifted out from the Etting room
The sales associates immediately fell spent. “Sir, is there anything else you need?” One of them approached the fitting room door.
Could you bring me a bra? 36C, thanks, Cameron replied calmly.
The saleswoman was completely stunned. A dress wasn’t enough? Now a bra? And a 36C at that she thought
She stood frozen for several seconds before finally putting on a smile, “Of course, sir. One moment.”
The saleswoman handed the bra into the fitting room, then rubbed her arms as if getting rid of goosebumps. Seriously, I don’t even know what to say she thought.
A few minutes later, Cameron stepped out of the litting room and stood before the full length mirror.
All the sales associates looked at Cameron al orice, and in the next instant, their eyes widened in shock.
The girl in the mirror had delicate, beautiful features. Even without makeup, her skin was flawlessly smooth. She wore this summer’s most popular innocent style white dress, showing off her graceful figure and slender frame.
Her waist looked like one could wrap one hand around it. Her exposed calves were smooth and fine, paired perfectly with white shoes. Everything about her was stunning-even with that super-short haircut.
Cameron stared at herself in the mirror, reaching up to cher fingers through her short hair,
“Short hair with a long dress bad; Cameron thought. But a wig would probably work bet
The baleswoman who had first helped Cameron finally snapped not of her france and walked over with a bright smile, “I’m so sorry, miss! I totally got Wrong
“Thad no idea you were a girl. You just looked so androgynous before really cool, actually. But you look beautiful in a dress too.”
“Thanks,” Cameron said. “I’ll pay now Could you wrap up my clothes? I’m taking this one with me.”
The sales associate smiled, “Miss, we have many other dresses that would look great on you. Would you like to try some on?”
Cameron shook her head. “No thanks, l’ovin a hurry?
The associate had no choice but to package Cameron’s clothes After paying, Cameron left with her shopping bag and headed straight to the department store on the lower level, where she picked out a wig with hair that fell to her waist.
In the bathroom, Cameron put it on ‘Long hair makes anyone look softer, she thought. Combined with her flowing dress, the effect was striking. She stared at her reflection and slowly broke into a smile.
Leaving the mall, Cameron went directly to Crownhill Hospital to register for a physical exam. “There’s a mistake with the gender on my ID. I need physical examination,” she explained.
It was nearly eleven by the time Cameron left the hospital. Her next stop was the police station to modify her official records.
After waiting in line for a while, it was finally her turn, “What can I help you with today?” asked the clerk
“What can help you with today?” asked the clerk.
The worker took Cameron’s ID card, glancing between them and her. The photo showed a strikingly handsome young man, while the person standing before them was a beautiful girl with a gentle, cute appearance, though her eyes held a certain detachment.
“My gender was recorded incorrectly at birth, Cameron said. “I need to have it changed.”
The clerk was moment was momentarily speechless. His eyes shifted from Cameron’s face down to the ID card, where the gender section indeed said “male”
The clerk’s eyes shifted back to Cameron’s face. “So it’s really just a mistake on the form?”
Cameron handed over her medical records. “Yeah, here’s my medical paperwork.”
The clerk carefully examined Cameron’s health documents. Sure enough, the gender field showed female. It really was a mistake.
The clerk looked puzzled. “Why wait until now to fix it?”
“I’m taking the SATS soon,” Cameron explained. “Having the wrong gender on my ID would be a huge headache. Otherwise, she wouldn’t even bother.
The clerk nodded in understanding “Give me a few minutes.”
After a ten-minute wait, Cameron finally got her temporary ID.
The address on it read “Noble Vista,” and under the gender section, it now said “female”
The clerk handed Cameron the temporary ID card. “Do you want to change the photo?” he asked. The current picture showed a handsome young man
Cameron shook her head. “No it’s fine
“Aright,” the clerk said “Temporary ID is two dollars, the official to fee is seven dollars, shipping is another sivan-disteen dollars fet 10 will be mailed to you in about a month. Just write down your address here?
“Thanks,” Cameron said, paying the bill.
