"It's worth a shot. Are you sure you aren't tired?" Logan questioned, eyeing me carefully. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes.
"I'm fine. Maybe I’ll have a large glass of wine after," I mumbled under my breath as I began to imagine what I wanted to look like.
"I'll let you drink two if you accomplish this," Logan encouraged, and I grinned.
It was Saturday evening and I had one day left to try and nail down this spell before I attempted the entrance test at Brighten Magic Academy.
After my little breakdown, I stayed over at Logan's, not having the courage to face my mom after I'd snapped at her.
Logan assured me she was with his mom and that she'd explain to my mom exactly why I was upset. I'd spent today at his place sleeping, needing a good rest for practicing the spell to shift my gender completely.
It was similar to shapeshifting, but switching from a girl to a boy took an extensive amount of mana, which meant I had to make sure I had enough to sustain the appearance and extra if we had to do anything magic related while in that form.
Ms. Landsford had come over to Logan's place after hearing about my reaction from my mother.
She explained she couldn't say no to my mother's pleas, especially with her contribution to the school before and even after Gabriel's death, long before her Alzheimer's diagnosis and her slow mental decline.
She registered me as Jinn since it was on the record that I had a cousin with the same name that lived somewhere on the other side of the world.
The headmaster was informed of the situation, as well as the main nurse, but no one else would know that I was really a girl.
Well, aside from Logan who'd been the happiest I'd seen him in weeks.
Even now, he sat crossed-legged with a big grin on his face, happy that I would be going to the same school as him. I sighed, shaking my head.
"You’re only allowing me to drink because you're super excited I'm attending school with you. As a BOY, if that minor detail hasn't sunk in yet," I reminded.
"Your point?" He raised an eyebrow at me.
"You can't kiss me or touch me in a weird way," I pointed out. "Outdoors, I guess. Indoors is a whole different matter." He winked and my face burned up.
"No! That . . . Wait, that doesn't make any sense." I countered, pointing a finger at him.
He relaxed on my bed, using his hands to support himself as he leaned back.
"I could care less if you’re in girl or boy form, Jewel. If I feel like kissing you, I'll do it,” he declared confidently. My hand fell to my side as I stared at him.
"You aren't bisexual," I countered.
"Don't have to be. It's not like I'm attracted to other boys. I'm attracted solely to you. Doesn't matter what gender you are. It won’t change my feelings for you,” he confessed. I blushed, but my eyes remained fixed on his determined ones. I knew he was serious and meant every single word.
"Logan is such a romantic."
We turned our heads to see Alice, who was relaxed in the doorway, watching our little dispute with a cookie in her mouth.
"When did you get here without us hearing you? Also, I want a cookie," I demanded.
She giggled, walking into the room and closing the door with her hip. She had a plate of cookies and a tray with three glasses of milk.
"Logan's dad passed by and brought food. Obviously, dessert comes first,” she sang happily.
Alice became a completely different person when sweets were involved. I did need her happier side today, as I was feeling discouraged that I hadn't been able to successfully complete the spell yet.
"Let's take a break," Logan announced, rising and grabbing two of the glasses of milk off the plate, passing one to me. I thanked him before expressing my gratitude to Alice for the snack.
I sat on the bed and Logan sat next to me, both enjoying a cool glass of white liquid.
"Milk always taste so fresh." Logan sighed.
