This story was inspired by news articles regarding the introduction of special bathrooms for cross-dressing girl-boy students in Thailand's Kampang High School, which you can read about by searching news websites. (mm-teens, youths, tv, cd, asian) *** When my father broke the news that my family would have to move from Australia to Thailand, you could say that I was less than pleased. In my whole life, I'd only ever known the same thing – the one house my whole life, the same people at the same schools, even, and especially, the same group of friends. That was the ammo I used against my parents the most. But it was an argument that seemed to have been already lost when I started the battle. My dad had made quite a name for himself in the company he worked for, so it seemed unreasonable to me that he would have no say in the matter, but that was how the situation was explained to me. The parent company had decided that his position could be better maintained from their head office in Thailand, and, since he was so well respected within the industry and company, he was offered the opportunity to either move with his position in the telecommunications giant to the office in Thailand, with the offer of a hefty raise, or be politely made redundant. Of course, my parents told me they wanted to discuss the decision with me, but I had the feeling they had already stayed up many nights talking this through and come to their own conclusions. It had to be said, I had heard bits and pieces of conversations from other rooms, names of foreign cities, and how this could be good for the family, but never enough to put together a full story. In my naivety, and perhaps optimism, I had disregarded the overheard tidbits as facets of somebody else's life, and thought nothing of it. As it was, when the plan was placed before me, I locked myself in my bedroom for a couple of days straight. It felt pathetic to me, since I'd never thrown that kind of tantrum before. I'd never had reason. But I didn't know what to do. For hours after the news was first broken to me, I lay on my bed, waiting for my parents to come knocking at the door to talk about it. I figured that is how parents such as mine would act when their child was locked in the bedroom, distraught. I was somewhat surprised when they didn't, but in hindsight, it was probably for the best that I wasn't disturbed in those first turbulent hours, since my rage needed time to settle. It had been years since I'd cried. Even when my grandmother, whom I loved dearly, had died a couple of years earlier, I felt somehow neutral, like it was meant to be. But this felt wrong. I picked up my mobile phone from my bedside table numerous times as the afternoon light outside my window dimmed to twilight and eventually darkness, flipping through the list of numbers to my best friend Tyson's details. My thumb hovered over the green 'Call' button, but I didn't press it that night. Although Ty was the person I most wanted to update on this latest development in my life, as we did all facets of our existence, I didn't know how I would begin if I answered. More than a couple of times I drafted entire SMS messages to him, before deleting them, thinking that 150-letters-or-less was not the way to break this news, and not like this. Through my racing thoughts, I couldn't even remember what he had said he was doing tonight. Had he expected me to meet him somewhere? Or did he mention a date? But who with? Eventually, all thoughts led back to the fact that I only had a few months left with the friends I'd made before I would have to start again. I seriously considered climbing out the window and running away from home that night, like they do in tacky Saturday morning children's movies. Eventually I fell asleep. When I finally emerged from my room, it was apparent that I was out. I'd come out over the past few days only to use the bathroom and grab snack food and re- heat the meals my mum had left on the counter for me. My parents were in the living room when I crept into the kitchen, and they noticed me immediately. They turned and looked, but didn't say anything, perhaps unsure of how to respond. I barely gave them a wave – I'm still unsure what I meant by it – and my father responded similarly, my mother showing a tiny smile, pleased that I was ok, returning, perhaps, to my normal self. Thankfully, they didn't expect comment or explanation for my absence, since I knew that if they did, I would return to the state of anger I'd felt days earlier. Also on the counter was a notepad, with my mother's handwriting. 'Nick,' it addressed, somewhat formally. 'Tyson called, wants you to ring back ASAP.' Underneath was an addendum in my father's scrawl. 'Tyson called again,' followed by the date and time of the call, business as usual to him. I felt anger rising, but forced it back. They were only trying to help me, I tried to assure myself. I thought some of the phone calls I'd heard and ignored were probably Tyson, since they came only moments after I didn't answer his calls on my mobile phone. I was glad my parents hadn't disturbed me with the phone calls, but also wondered what they'd said. My father was the first to look up when he saw me in the doorway of the living room. My mum's eyes followed. They didn't speak, however. 'I'm going to go and see Tyson,' I said, finally. I knew this was what I wanted to go, but felt I should give an explanation. In the end, I couldn't find one, and it wasn't necessary anyway. My mother looked as though she was about to form a suggestion against my plan, but my dad stopped her, putting his hand on her arm as she stared to lift it with the beginning of a protestation against my going out so late in the summer night. 'Alright Nicky,' my dad said, his hand still on my mother's. 'Call if you want me to drive you home or anything. Ok?' I nodded, watching for further response only for a moment, then left. I felt unusual for the entire walk over, the same sensation I had felt each time I'd picked up my mobile phone to call Tyson in the past few days. I thought I may have been developing a cold when my nose started to run on the short walk over, but realised I was crying again, and self consciously wiped tears away on my arm, trying to hide the evidence from anyone who might have seen. I still didn't know what I was going to say when I saw my friend. What ever it was, I would have to decide soon, since I was almost at his house. It took a long time for someone to answer his door when I knocked. I recognised the heavy footsteps of Ty's father, suspicious of someone visiting so late. It was only then that I really became aware of the fact that the last beams of summer sun was quickly disappearing behind me. Ty's father glanced briefly through the window beside the door and called to his son over his shoulder before opening the door, apparently surprised to see me. I guessed it was late. After his friendly greeting, and despite what I'd heard through the door, I asked 'Is Tyson home?' Tyson's bare feet bounded down the hall quickly, and he reached out for me when we met in the kitchen in the centre of the house for what had become our signature handshake. 'Heyyyy!' he said. 'Where have you been? I've been trying to call you!' 'Hi,' was all I could manage, along with the handshake, without crying in front of his mother and younger sister, whom I'd waved to in the other room on my way in. 'Well come on in,' Tyson said, 'Tell me what's been going on.' Often Tyson's mother would want an update on how my parents were, and to offer drinks and snacks. Thankfully, and probably since it was quite late, she didn't this evening. I followed my friend into the rear part of the house, a games room that diverged at the end into a hallway and he and his sister's bedrooms. Tyson was 16, like me, a few months younger but a few inches taller. He sported an athletic build, and an undercut blonde hairstyle that could have looked silly on anyone else outside of a teen movie from Hollywood in the '80's, but looked perfect on him. He currently sported a tan from a summer spent, often with me, at beach and pool parties, and which complemented his deep blue eyes. He slumped into the couch and I followed next to him. He asked again, what had been happening, and, after detailing a date he had been on on the night I'd considered calling him, I eventually fell silent. 'Dude!' Tyson said, sensing something. 'What's wrong?' Finally, I just told him what had happened. I felt like I was speaking at a million miles per hour, and don't remember if I even let him speak. I told him how I felt about things, and didn't let him speak until I'd finished. Finally, when I had finished, I could feel tears in the corners of my eyes, but, surprisingly, with Tyson, I found I didn't mind. 'But...' he started. 'I mean... it can't be. I mean...' he said again. 'But your parents are cool. How can they do this? And... what about school and stuff?' It wasn't until I told Ty that details had been confirmed, that my parents had shown me details and the merits of local schools that things seemed to sink in. He realised, like I had, that there was no turning back. This decision had been made, and was set in stone. There was nothing we could do. Tyson and I had known each other since we first started school, and had moved into high school together. We'd shared everything with each other and helped each other overcome all kinds of hardships, but had never been touchy-feely with each other. Despite that, when I fell into him, Ty returned my hug, and we held each other for... I don't know how long without it ever feeling unnatural. At some point Tyson stood up and went outside to talk to his parents. He came back into the room, and I was still lying on the couch where he'd left me. He suggested I stay the night, since it was dark outside now, and I agreed, as I had innumerable times in the past. We switched on a video game on the TV in front of the couch, but never got around to playing it, instead talking about the practicalities of the future for us. We would email each other every day rather than either seeing or calling each other as we had for years. We would make phone calls, whether our parents objected to the bills or not, and, although it hadn't been discussed, I assumed I would be home for holidays. Still, the news hit hard. At some point, late, I realised I should notify my parents of my plans to stay over, and went into the dining room, where I found Ty's parents sitting at the table talking quietly and sharing a bottle of wine. 'Can I use the phone?' I asked. 'I just wanted to let my parents know I'm here.' 'Oh, Nick,' Tyson's mother started. 'I spoke with her all ready. Everything is fine. Don't worry!' She stood up and put her hand on my shoulder. Although we had always been friendly, this attention made me feel uncomfortable in my already delicate state. 'How are you, though?' 'I'm... ok...' I stammered. I didn't realise until later that when Ty had left me alone briefly in the room he had obviously spoken with his parents about my own parents decision to move to Thailand. I rejoined Tyson in the room, who was now switching off the game, and sitting in the arm chair opposite the couch. A decision was made between us that evening. Although we vowed to be friends forever, we maintained that this would be the ultimate summer. Since I wouldn't be returning to school after the holidays and would be completing my final two years at a Thai high school, not a day went by that I can't say wasn't spent well. I saw Ty every day, and attended parties of people from school, the various sports clubs we were involved in, and, a couple of times, things we just heard about when nothing else was on. A few nights before I was set to leave, Tyson threw a huge party with all my friends. I still look at the pictures and smile. It really was something to have everyone together. A couple of days later and my family and I were at the airport. Ty and I had had an emotional goodbye the night before, but, to my surprise, he was at the airport, his dad having driven him. As they called final boarding for our flight, we exchanged that handshake one last time, and it quickly developed into a hug. I was so close to turning and shouting at my parents that I was going to stay in Australia. THIS was where my life was, and I wasn't ready to move. But I knew that it was no use. So I just said 'I'll really miss you, Tyson,' as I stood away from him. I think I was out of tears by this time, but I think I noticed him starting to cry for the first time. That may be what made me turn away and join my parents. I simply stared out the window for most of the flights to Thailand, listening to the bizarre onboard radio program that seemed to repeat after too few songs for such a long flight. Everything on board seemed to trivial, and I felt like shouting at people, but didn't. A hostess asked if I'd like some water or a coke, and I almost screamed 'What does it matter?' When we stepped into the warm air outside the Thai air terminal, all of those thoughts seemed to subside straight away. My mood changed, and I honestly can't say why. The streets were so different to anything I'd ever seen, and yet walking in them didn't feel 'foreign,' as I'd expected. I wanted to email Ty almost every hour, but tried to save my thoughts for a daily run down, and looked forward each day to his news. After a couple of days, my parents and I went to a meeting with the principal of my new school, Kampang High, and I was surprised. I'd expected an awkward conversation since we spoke no Thai, other than the few key terms my father had explained, and I'd imagined the principal to be a sheltered man, for some reason. He was younger than I expected, dressed in a smart-casual suit and spoke fluent English, but with an odd accent that suggested he'd learned from a combination of American television and language training tapes. 'Most of the students speak English,' he assured me. 'But we've set aside some time with a Thai tutor who can help you each week. You can have some intensive lessons this week.' I felt I needed them, and came out feeling like I didn't know anything, but afterwards, when I was first introduced to my homeroom class, realised that I'd learned more than I'd thought, and that what the principal had said was true – most of the students knew enough English for me to be able to hold a coherent, and even interesting conversation with them. I'd imagined the class to be much different to what it was, too. I'd expected a discipline not present in the Australian classrooms I was used to, but found this wasn't the case. Students spoke freely in classes, teachers seeming to focus on those willing to take part and disregarding those passing notes. Also, there was no uniform, a concept unfamiliar to me. Despite that, a couple of girls dressed in provocative 'Catholic schoolgirl' imitation uniforms. One of them even winked at me after our homeroom teacher had introduced me to the class and I'd given myself a brief introduction. As the only white student in the room, and one of the few non-Asian students in the school, I was something of a curiosity, and found it easy to at least find people to speak with over lunch, if not find a group of friends to hang with. Of course, it didn't take long for the main feature of Ty's daily email's to be 'So, what are the Thai girls like?' and, when I thought about it, there was one who stood out in my mind. A girl I'd only formally met once, but she seemed to be something of an outcast. We'd exchanged smiles across the room since then, but I felt like I was going where ever the popular students who had latched onto me dragged me. When Ty pressed for details about this girl I mentioned, all I could really do was describe her from afar. 'She's not what I usually go for, you know?' I wrote, wishing we could talk about it on the couch in his games room. 'Her name is Ada, and she is kind of punk, I guess, but in a pretty way. She wears lots of chains, and big shoes, and short, tartan skirts. Like mini-kilts!' This idea grabbed Ty's attention and he wanted status updates on how I was going with Ada, but sadly, I couldn't give him the success story he wanted for me. We had a few classes together, and I said hello, but rarely more than that. It wasn't until a couple of months later, when we were assigned a history project to work on together that we first spoke properly. Students were divided randomly into pairs, and I was pleased when my name was dealt alongside Ada's. At first, I didn't recognise it on the list on the board, Ada being a nickname she used in place of her longer, Thai name. 'Looks like we're a team,' Ada said, coming up alongside my desk. 'I hope you don't mind,' she said, her voice a nervous rasp. I smiled. 'Me? I hope you don't mind working with me! I've only been here a couple of months! What do I know about Thai history?' Ada smiled broadly, perfect teeth showing. She had quite broad shoulders on display under her tank top, above moderately sized, but perfectly round breasts, and I wondered if they were the result of physical training. Maybe she was on the swimming team that I'd seen advertised. I considered asking about sports teams, since I'd been quite active at home, but was yet to register at Kampang, but hoped it would come up in conversation naturally. We arranged a time to meet in the library to work on the assignment, and on the way out of the room, one of the more popular girls said 'Oh, poor Nicky! You got the girl-boy to work with!' A few of her friends laughed, while others continued, straight faced. I just looked at her, uncertain how to respond to something that was quite clearly an insult to Ada. In my email to Ty I told him of developments, and also of the three sets of toilets in the school – the usual two, marked with the male and female icons, and a third, in between, with a combination of both icons, drawn in stereotypical pink and blue. Ty provided encouragement on the Ada front, telling me I was sure to 'get her now,' and daring me to use the 'middle' bathrooms. As yet, I wasn't game, and was unsure how to ask other students about it in English or Thai. I thought of Ty's email the following day while working on the history project with Ada. She'd arranged with the teacher to work on a special project with me, teaching the basics of Thai history for someone new to the country, as I was, and seemed to relish in being an expert on the topic. I told her I didn't know anything about the country, and suggested we maybe go out some time. 'I don't even know where to go shopping or anything!' I sighed. 'Oh, if you want shopping, I know where to go!' she laughed. When Ada spoke, it was usually a reserved, lilting drawl, but when she laughed, it was unusual – booming, verging on deep. 'We should go some time.' I wondered if she would consider the trip a date. I'd mentioned Ada to my parents and they seemed pleased that I was making friends, but I wondered for the first time what they would think if I brought her home as a girlfriend. She was so unlike anyone I'd dated before, with her extremes of make-up and dyed red pigtails. We stayed late that afternoon, and on our way back to our lockers, Ada asked if I could hold her books while she used the bathroom. I obliged, and was a little surprised when she headed not, as expected, to the girl's room, but to the middle toilets. When she emerged, I couldn't think of a way to ask about just what the middle bathroom was. I was surprised to find I doubted myself when I went to detail this development in an email to Tyson. I wrote explicitly about our plans for a shopping date, and the late study session in the library, but wasn't sure whether it was appropriate to describe Ada's bathroom preference. In the end, I just detailed exactly what happened: She went into THAT bathroom, not the girls. I rolled out of bed at the sound of my alarm clock playing a pop song I thought I recognised, but with unfamiliar Thai lyrics. I flipped open the screen of my notebook computer before getting dressed or doing anything else, and saw a reply waiting from Tyson. 'That settles it,' he wrote. 'You HAVE to use that bathroom.' At the end of the day I was meeting Ada again in the library, and had to stop off at the bathroom. I thought of Ty's email. What the heck? There was not many people around, they having rushed home as soon as the last bell sounded for the day. When I opened the door with it's pink and blue mascot, I almost jumped when a guy I thought I recognised walked towards me on his way out. He looked me briefly up and down, before continuing, straight-faced on his way. Inside, was not unlike the regular men's toilets, but smaller, and notably cleaner, presumably since fewer people seemed to venture into this bathroom. After a couple of basins and mirrors, along one wall was two urinals, as opposed to the many in the regular men's, and two stalls. Inside one of the stalls, a familiar figure was standing over the toilet, the door open. I recognised the figure immediately by it's fashion. It was Ada, but I was stopped dead in my tracks by what I saw – she was standing up to use the toilet, like a boy, and seemed to be having no difficulty. When she finished, she flushed the toilet, replacing her skirt, and gasped when she turned and finally saw me, and then I finally realised what I'd seen. Ada, the girl I'd been talking up to my best friend, was really a boy. 'Nick,' she said, and started to say something else, but stammered off. 'Sorry,' I said, and turned. 'I... um... didn't know...' I headed for the door. Ada called after me as I hurried out of the room, but I kept walking. We were supposed to have met in the library, but I headed straight for the bus stop to take me home. I stared blankly ahead while I waited for the bus to arrive. How could I have been so wrong? I'd expected this society to be so... restricted, and uptight. Maybe I'd compared it too closely to Japanese or Chinese movies I'd seen. My train of thought was briskly interrupted by the clatter of chain against the tin bus shelter seat. I looked over and saw Ada, staring ahead too. 'Oh,' I started, and paused for possibly too long. 'Hi...' 'Hi,' Ada replied. We sat in silence for a minute, before I started to say something. But what? On the one hand, I felt I should apologise for not meeting her in the library as planned. On the other, I felt like I had been lied to. After all, I had been fantasising about someone that I now learned was actually a boy like me. But was she? I really didn't know what Ada was at all. I started to say something again, but stopped before it came out. She spoke before I could try a third time. 'You really didn't know...?' she asked, looking at me, a curious smile at the corner of her made-up lips. I finally looked up at her, realising the possible absurdity of the situation just as the bus pulled up. 'No,' I said. 'I really didn't.' Ada laughed that deep laugh, and we walked onto the bus, her leading the way. I took a seat next to her. 'I'm still not sure I understand,' I said, after more silence. 'You really are from out of town,' Ada smiled. 'I sometimes forget that.' In the silence that followed, I realised that despite all that I'd seen in the afternoon, all the revelations, I still felt more at ease with Ada than anyone else I'd met since settling in this strange city. I was unsure how I felt about the physical attraction I'd previously felt to her, and whether it was still present. When it came to her stop, Ada stood up, balancing awkwardly on her high shoes. She looked at me, and I only saw out of the corner of my eye, since I was looking ahead. 'You know,' she said. 'We could work on the project at my house, if you want. I mean... if you don't need to get home right away...' She trailed off as the bus slowed to a stop, and, thoughts racing, wondering what people would think about me going to visit someone like Ada at home, I realised I didn't care what students at school might think. 'Ok,' I said simply, and stood up too, and Ada smiled broadly. Ada's apartment was empty when we arrived, and she told me that her parents were working late, and wouldn't be home until much later this evening. She offered me a drink, and brought me a can of coke before I answered. She led me to her room, which I noted was much smaller than my room at home in Australia, and a little smaller than my new room here. I noted that the walls that weren't covered in posters for rock groups I'd never heard of were painted yellow, like parents who don't know if they are having a boy or a girl. Ada slumped back on the bed, holding her feet upwards towards me. I felt it was appropriate to wait in the doorway for a formal invitation to enter. She made nodded and pointed to her boots, and when I didn't get the message, said simply, 'shoes.' That's when I finally went into the room. I kneeled in front of the bed, and carefully untied the laces of her heavy boots that reached almost to her knees. Once they were both untied, I delicately removed the shoes, and put them alongside the bed, taking her socks with them. I'm not sure whether it was curiosity, but as I dragged off her second sock, I let my palm feel the inside of her calf. I wondered, would it feel the same as mine? Certainly, it was muscled in much the same way, but, in the modest experience I'd had with girls, I hadn't paid too much attention to their lower legs. Unlike me though, Ada's legs were perfectly hairless, and when I came to her feet – maybe larger than mine, but with painted toenails – I became aware of myself and tossed the socks aside. Ada was smiling at me on the bed when I looked up. 'That's better,' she said. 'I couldn't wait to get those off!' She reached into her bag, and took out the books we'd checked out of the library for the project previously. 'Ada?' I asked, bravely. 'Why do you do this? I mean... dress like this, and all? Don't people make fun of you? Where I come from...' 'Sometimes they make fun of me,' Ada sighed, looking from her feet slowly up her legs, then back to me. 'But this is just how I am. I don't know why I want to dress like this, but... I do... I hope that makes sense to you.' 'I don't know...' I said, honestly. 'Maybe. I've never really met anyone like you before.' Ada laughed again, and leaned forwards toward me, planting a kiss on my cheek. 'Ha!' she said, afterwards. 'And you never will again!' Although it had obviously been a natural reaction, I was taken back by Ada's sudden move. She seemed to realise. 'Oh,' she stammered. 'I'm sorry, Nick.' After a moments silence, I looked back into her eyes, the most honest I'd encountered since moving to Thailand. 'No,' I said, putting a hand on her cheek, letting it run through her hair. 'Don't be.' I'm not sure what came over me, but I leaned forward, and kissed Ada in return, on the mouth. She opened her mouth after a moment of the same shock I guess I felt when she kissed me on the cheek, and returned the gesture passionately, before I felt her fingernails on my back, through my t-shirt. I surprised myself when I went further. I let my hands run from Ada's face, down her sides, to her stomach, then under her own shirt, which I pushed up and off. I wasn't sure what I'd find underneath. The body below was dark, like her face, and toned. I let my eyes, and hands run up, towards her chest. I saw now that Ada's bra was artificially padded with phony breasts. She watched me, perhaps awkwardly as I unclipped the bra and put it aside. Ada had a solid chest beneath the padding she wore, and, I found that despite the fact that, as I looked over the body in front of me now that was unmistakably that of a male, complete with a tent- like protrusion now trying to escape from under the mini-skirt, I still thought of Ada as 'she.' Ada sighed as I let my hand run over the protrusion, a distinctly feminine sound. I searched the skirt for a fastening, but in the end she unclipped it and took it off, along with her underwear, and she sat before me naked. I let my flat palms run over the planes of her body before I swallowed hard and let one hand run around Ada's scrotum and then a single finger along her shaft to the tip. When I reached the head she made another small sound. 'I've never done this before,' I whispered. 'I mean...' Ada cut me off before I had to explain, reaching out to me with her hands, but unable to touch me, since she was lying flat, and I was sitting up over her. 'Neither have I,' she said. I kissed her fingertips lightly, as I began stroking her up and down, imagining just how I would like it done to me. As the strokes intensified the sound from her lips was not unlike those I'd heard when I'd made love to girls in the past. As Ada's muscles tensed, I knew that she was close, and when she reached climax, the sound she made was distinctly masculine, the kind of sound I could imagine coming from my own lips. I sat in front of my computer for over an hour trying to decide what to include in my email update to Tyson. In the end, all I wrote was 'Remember that girl Ada I was telling you about? Well, I got her!' END * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * It's okay to *READ* stories about unprotected sex with others outside a monogamous relationship.
