Chris—no, Christina—stared at her reflection in the bathroom mirror, still trying to wrap her mind around everything that had happened. The shock of transformation had morphed her handsome, muscular physique into a lithe, athletic figure; the strong jawline she’d known so well was replaced with soft, feminine features. She ran a hand through her newly long hair, feeling its silky texture cascade over her shoulders. The bright blue eyes that had always glimmered with confidence were still hers, but everything else felt foreign.
“Chris?” her mother’s voice called from the kitchen. “Are you ready for breakfast? We made pancakes!”
The sound of her birth name sent a shiver down Christina’s spine. It felt strange, almost like it belonged to someone else now. She took a deep breath, trying to steady herself. How could she face her family after this change?
She padded down the hallway, her heart racing with each step. Christina had taken on the world as Chris—captain of the soccer team, known for his fierce competitiveness and boundless confidence. Now, as she walked into the kitchen, she felt both liberated and terrified.
“Good morning, sweetheart!” her mother beamed, presenting a stack of fluffy pancakes topped with syrup. Christina couldn’t help but feel warmth from her mother’s affection, even if the situation was upside-down. “You look lovely today!”
“Um, thanks, Mom,” Christina responded, her voice softer, lighter.
Her mother’s smile widened. “It’s great to see you in a dress for once!” She gestured toward the casual summer dress Christina hadn’t realized she was wearing. “You always said you wanted to explore your feminine side!”
What? Christina’s mind raced. “I did?”
Ignoring Christina’s confusion, her mother continued to chatter about the day ahead—her younger siblings playing in the yard, plans to visit relatives, and everything in between. It felt surreal, the world carrying on as if nothing had changed at all.
