A Semester Abroad- Part 4
by RogerGirl
Sasha made his way to the front of the line and nervously ordered his drink. The girl gave him a strange look as he stumbled over his words.
"Are you OK?" she asked.
"Not really," he replied, "I'm kind of nervous about what I'm about to do next. I've been coming here for a while now and I was wondering if you'd like to have lunch or a drink sometime."
"Hmm," the girl said looking at him, "you look familiar, but I don't remember seeing you around here. I do get a lot of customers though so faces get mixed up sometimes. You're pretty cute, there's no need to be so nervous. Come by around 4. That's when my shift is over."
"Thanks," Sasha said cheering up, "I'm Sasha by the way,"
"I'm Crystal," the girl said as she handed him his drink.
Sasha left with his drink and called Katie to tell her the good news. He rushed back to Susan's apartment to change back into a girl and headed to class. Sasha sat through class nervously glancing at the clock. She wanted to make sure she had enough time to change back into a guy before 4. When the class was over she hurried back to the apartment and changed back into a guy, then ran over to the cafe.
"Wow," Crystal said looking at him, "are you OK?"
"Just a little out of breath," he said taking a drink from his water bottle, "I didn't want to be late so I ran over."
Crystal laughed and they went to a burger place for a quick lunch. As they ate, Sasha found they had a lot in common and she had a really good sense of humor.
"You know," Crystal said, "I'm going to a Halloween party this weekend. There's a couple's costume contest. I used to go with my ex, but we broke up a few months ago. I'm going to be going as Princess Jasmine. Maybe you could go with me as Aladdin."
"That sounds cool," Sasha said.
"Cool," she said, "it's on Friday. Usually they have it on Halloween night, but the owners of the house are going out of town on Saturday, so they won't be there on Sunday. I'll send you the info on Facebook."
"Oh, I don't have one," he said remembering his Facebook was set up for the female Sasha, "I'll just give you my number."
They traded phone numbers and went back to laughing and joking around. After they ate they walked around the village for a while until she had to go back to campus to work on a research paper. They said their goodbyes and Sasha returned to the apartment where Katie and Susan were waiting for him. He told them how well things went and that they were going to a Halloween party together on Friday. The girls congratulated him and how happy they were for him.
"Oh, did you say the party was Friday or Saturday?" Katie asked.
"Friday," Sasha answered, "Why?"
"Oh, that's good," Katie said calming down, "The sorority is having a Halloween party on Saturday and the girls are all insisting that you come. Well, the female you. They're also trying to find you a date."
"I guess that's fine," Sasha said, "Susan's brother has agreed to pretend to be my boyfriend whenever I need him to. I'll just give him a call."
"Oh," Susan began, "Cameron is out of town this weekend for a soccer tournament. It looks like Sasha the girl will have to go on her first real date with a boy."
"Don't worry," Katie said trying to calm him down, "The guy they picked out for you is really sweet. If he tries anything though, I'll make sure Jeff is there to stop him."
"Fine," Sasha said, "It's only for one night. I already bought a girl's costume last week so I might as well. Oh, I have to go meet Tara. She called earlier and asked me to come over."
Sasha changed back into a female and went over to Tara's dorm. Sasha was wearing a short denim skirt, wedged sandals, and a tank top. She knocked on the door and Tara invited her in. While Sasha wasn't as close to Tara as she was with Katie, they had become good friends over the past several weeks.
"What I'm about to ask you will sound a little strange," Tara began.
"What is it?" Sasha asked confusedly.
"I want you to be a boy on Halloween," Tara said.
"What?" Sasha asked in shock wondering if Tara had discovered her secret.
"Maybe I should explain," Tara said, "I'm going to another party on Halloween night and I need a partner for the costume contest. I asked my date for the sorority party, but his fraternity is hosting a party that night so he can't go. I know this is kind of weird, but of all my friends I think you'd look the best as Captain Jack. I'm going as the Penelope Cruz character."
"OK," Sasha said, "It might be fun pretending to be a guy."
"Yes," Tara responded jokingly, "For once the guys will be looking at me instead of you. By the way don't worry about your date for the sorority party. Todd is a really sweet guy."
They continued talking for a while until it got late. Sasha left and returned to the apartment where Katie and Susan were waiting for her. She told them about what happened and both girls laughed.
"Well," Katie said, "for that costume you're going to have to play things a little differently. You can't just take off your boobs or else Tara might suspect something is off. We're going to have to get you some chest binding. You're about to find out what it is like for a girl to pretend to be a guy."
