“So… you’re saying I’m going to turn into a girl?” My voice cracked as the words stumbled out.
For a moment, I didn’t know what to feel. Excitement? Joy? Should I play it off like I was freaking out, thrashing around in disbelief? My head was a mess.
“Yeah,” Bai Yu said, resting a hand on my shoulder. “The Witch School trains witches. I told you that from the start.”
Her grip was steady— probably ready to stop me if I lost it. Not that I would. I wasn’t the type to flip out.
I’d lived two lives already. Gender? I’d always been pretty open about it. “Open” might not even be the right word—truth was, I’d secretly craved it. A whole new perspective, a life I’d never experienced.
Becoming a witch, shedding this body, this identity—it’d be a clean break from everything I’d been in this world.
I could start over. Live without holding back. Wear cute clothes, skirts, whatever I want. Act silly, flirt shamelessly, let my emotions run wild—no restraints, no judgment.
The thought hit me like a rush, and for a second, I saw it all so clearly. My body, my soul—they were screaming yes, practically begging for it.
But my mouth? It wouldn’t cooperate. I was still a guy right now, and that last stubborn piece of me— the shackle I couldn’t shake—choked out the opposite of what I felt.
“Sis, you’re messing with me, right? I don’t… I don’t want to turn into a girl…” My voice was shaky, halting, and I didn't even buy it.
Those shaky words were all I could manage, and even I didn’t believe them.
holy shit, a (non-scribblehub) genderbender protag that actually wants to be a girl
