Swap Week: Day 2 and Preparing for the Date

Swap Week:  Day 2 and Preparing for the Date
by RogerGirl

  Nicole woke up early again the next morning.  She went to the bathroom for a shower and now normal morning routine then went to her dresser and picked out a bra and thong underwear set.  She put them on then went to the dresser to pick out her outfit for the day.  She didn't feel like wearing heels today, even though she liked how  they made her legs looked, so she went for a more casual look.  She put on a short spaghetti strap dress that ended a few inches above the knee.  She also put on a pair of black flats, which she immediately noticed were a lot more comfortable.  She went back to the bathroom to do her hair and makeup, then grabbed her purse, laptop bag, and gym bag and carried them to the living room.  Her dad had already gone to work and her mom and sister were still asleep so she ate a quick breakfast then went to the car and left for school.  When she got to school she parked in a parking space by the gym and made her way for her first class.  While she waited for her first class to start and for Jennifer to get there, she sat down at their station and looked through a fashion magazine for ideas on what to wear for her date tonight.  She wanted to look good, but didn't want to wear something too revealing in case she wasn't ready to try anything with Nathan tonight.  

  Not long after, Jennifer and the rest of the class began to pile in.  Jennifer hugged Nicole and told her about her ideas for Swap Week events she had come up with last night.  Nicole liked her ideas and told her she would start organizing some for lunch throughout the week.  They started sewing the skirt and blouse outfit that they had designed the day before and Nicole got pretty good at using the sewing machine with Jennifer's help.  The rest of the day went pretty smoothly and Nicole was enjoying her new classes.  She was learning a lot of things she had never attempted to learn as Nick and found they she might enjoy taking the photography class again when she returned to her life as Nick.  In theater, she received the lead female role in a short play they were rehearsing to perform at lunch on Friday.  While she was a bit nervous about having a short kiss with her co-star, she was having a good time learning the lines and wearing her costume.  Her co-star was a boy named Alex, who for most of the year was a girl's volleyball player named Alexis.  Alex was 6'1" and had dark brown hair, which like Nathan, he had cut short for Swap Week.  Alex had also never taken theater before, but was enjoying the experience.  

  During lunch, Nicole and Jennifer went to the stage and hosted a trivia game.  It was a battle of the sexes game in which the male contestant was asked questions about typical male interests and the female contestant about female interests.  They made sure both contestants were freshman so that neither had an advantage over the other.  The score was pretty close, but the boy won by a point.  As his prize he received a DVD of an action movie that had recently been released.  After lunch they went to the locker room to change for cheer practice.  During practice they went over the various cheers they would be doing during the football and basketball games, and also rehearsed a couple halftime performances.  Nicole didn't realize how much work cheerleading actually was and knew she owed her sister an apology for all telling her that cheerleading wasn't a real sport.  After practice they went back to the locker room to change and noticed many of the girls were starting to feel more comfortable about changing in front of each other, although none of them took a shower yet.  Nicole and Jennifer grabbed their bags and headed to their cars.  Jennifer had to go to work for a few hours, but would come to Nicole's around 5 so they could get ready.  They hugged and said goodbye and both drove off.

  Nicole got home and carried her bags to her room.  Her mom and sister both left for work soon after and her dad wouldn't be home for a while so she would be by herself for a couple hours.  She went to her room and took a shower.  After her shower she put on a pair of bikini panties, a tank top, and a pair of short lounging shorts.  She put on a little makeup, but not much since she was going to be changing later on for her date.  Once she was dressed she put her hair back into a ponytail then logged into Facebook.  She looked through comments and status updates and posted new pictures she had taken at work and school over the past couple days.  She smiled when she saw a friend request from Christy and she accepted it.  

 Thinking back to meeting Christy at work the night before gave her an idea.  She decided to post some Facebook videos showing off different outfits and giving fashion tips to help out the girls who were doing this for the first time.  After making a brief introduction video where she explained what she was doing and about her job at Forever 21, she went to her closet and put together different outfits.  In the video she didn't reveal the fact that she was really a guy and thought it would be better to present herself as female for the videos.  Even though the videos were geared mainly at other students dressing for Swap Week, she wanted them to be useful for other girls her age as well.  She posed and explained various looks from casual to flirty and formal.  She gave tips for different accessories and makeup to use with different outfits.  After uploading the videos she posted them to the Swap Week group so everyone could see them.  

  Soon after she was done posting the videos her dad came home.  She logged out of Facebook and went to the living room to greet him.  He asked her if she was excited for her date and she told him that she was, but was not sure how to dress.  They sat down and he gave her some ideas of outfits he wore for Swap Week dates and told her to wear whatever made her feel comfortable, but to try and look good.  He took out an album and showed her more pictures of him as Brianna during Swap Week.  As Brianna he looked very pretty although Nicole noticed how much better he looked as a girl as he grew older.  His clothes looked nicer, his makeup looked more professional, and he seemed to look more comfortable being a girl.  She smiled when she saw a picture of Brianna as a senior wearing a swimsuit and kissing her date.  While her dad didn't look as naturally feminine as she did, what she saw in the photo was a girl having a good time on a date with a boy.  Nothing about the boy and girl in the photo seemed awkward or unusual.  Nicole told her dad about how nervous she was feeling about her first date and he tried to calm her down.  He told her that if she felt uncomfortable at any time, she should call him and he will come pick her up.  Nicole thanked her dad and they continued talking.    

  Nicole sat on the couch watching TV with her dad for a while when the door bell rang.  Nicole jumped off the couch and opened the door and hugged Jennifer.  Jennifer came in carrying several bags and Nicole introduced her to her dad.  They went to the bedroom and began discussing their outfits for the date while her dad started making dinner.  They took turns taking showers then went through their wardrobe to pick out their clothes.  They spent a long time trying on different outfits before finding the ones they thought were just right.  As guys they both got dressed very quickly, but now Nicole realized why it took girls so long to get ready.  This was her first date with a boy and she didn't want to wear something too revealing.  While she was enjoying being a girl, the dating aspect still felt strange to her and she wasn't sure what to expect.  Nathan seemed nice enough, but she didn't want things going further than she was ready for.  Since Jennifer had been on Swap Week dates before she decided to wear a shorter skirt than Nicole, who opted for a skirt that ended just below the knee.  They both wore tight blouses and 4" heels and put on several accessories to complete their outfits.  They went to the bathroom and did their hair and makeup, then sprayed on some perfume.  

 While they waited for their dates to arrive they made some silly videos and posted them on Facebook.  They sat down on Nicole's bed after posting the videos and Nicole asked her for advice on dating as a girl.  Jennifer gave her some tips on various things that may come up during the date.  Nervously, Nicole asked her if she could give her some tips on kissing.  She wasn't sure if she'd kiss Nathan tonight, but wanted to be ready in case he tried to kiss her.  Jennifer taught her different ways of kissing like a girl from a small peck to a more passionate kiss with tongue.  They practiced kissing for a few minutes, and while as boys the thought of two girls making out would be very sexy, the kisses seemed very platonic as they had become almost like sisters.  When they were done kissing they sat back and giggled when they saw each other's smeared lipstick.  They went to the bathroom to fix their makeup, then grabbed their purses and went to the living room when they heard the doorbell ring.  While Nick had plenty of girlfriends over the years, this was Nicole's first date with a boy and she had no idea what to expect.  Nathan was a senior and had been on plenty of dates, she just hoped that he wouldn't expect her to take things too far tonight.
