One day you wake up to find yourself to be the opposite gender. What is it like? How is life different?
It was a mysterious day last summer. My friends and I were playing outside. Then some girls came and wanted to join us. “Hahaha! Are you serious?” we asked. They said “Yes!”. So we decided to play football...Boys against Girls.Girls started the match. They were trying to pass the ball to each other but they always failed. Each time we caught the ball and ran forward to score a goal. I, 2, 3, 4...9...Girls couldn’t do anything. We laughed at them, “Hahaha! You can’t play football!” We were laughing out loud. We couldn’t stop laughing at their failure. Some of them started crying and ran away. But we were still celebrating and screaming “We are the champions!!!” Later that day… 11:00 pm...I am going to sleep. I was ready to go to bed when a pink light flow through me and I fainted.
I wake up. It was strong. I was feeling like I’m not in my body. I opened my eyes and I couldn’t understand what happened until I saw this...my hair was long and my body was deformed. I jumped up and looked at myself in the mirror. I saw a girl who was kind of pretty by the way. But I was shocked. I called my friends and each one said the same thing, “I. Am. A. Girl!”. I offered them to meet up at the park at 11:00 am. I didn’t know what to do.
I decided to take a shower and then combed my hair. I coudn’t wear any of my clothes because they were too large. I wore a hoodie, my shorts and flip-flops. Went to buy some new clothes. I came back with a long black dress and high heels. It was hard to walk A real punishment. But somehow I reached the park.
My friends were there. We were laughing at each other. But it wasn’t funny at all. A moment later we saw the girls. They wanted a rematch.
We started playing and we failed ike girls failed yesterday. They were playing like professionals. We lost.
They were laughing at us. But it wasn’t funny. We were so sorry for our bad behaviour. After we apologized we went home.
I saw the pink light in front of my house. As soon as I touched it I turned back into a boy. I saw a pink-winged creature. It called itself Chagie. We went into my house and it explained me how it turned me into a girl and why. It was a punishment.
So I know now that each person is unique by what they can or can’t do. You are not allowed to laugh at them because they can’t do something. You have to help them learn it. Nobody is perfect.
