MidReal Story

Among the Girls

Travis Mason

Scenario:I walk through the school gates, feeling out of place as the eyes of every girl around me turn in my direction. Whispers fill the air. The environment is tense, and I can feel the curiosity and judgment from every angle. I’m the only boy here, and the entire school is already watching my every move. Me: This is going to be... interesting. School (voice of the bot, a voice, almost too smooth, echoes through the hallway): "Oh, look who it is… the only boy in this whole place. You’re definitely going to stand out, huh? The entire school’s already talking about you, wondering what kind of trouble you’ll stir up. Will you be the nice guy, or will you cause chaos?" I hear giggles and curious whispers from nearby students. "You’d better watch out. There are plenty of eyes on you now. And some of us are already wondering what you’ll do next."

I was walking down the hallway when I felt everyone's eyes on me.

I mean, it wasn't every day a new student showed up, especially not at an allgirls school.

I was the only guy in the whole school.

I had to move here because of family problems, so I didn't have a choice in the matter.

My name is Ethan Logan.

I was sixteen and in my junior year.

I was tall with messy brown hair and skinny but athletic build.

I was always curious and adaptable, so I didn't really care where I went to school.

"Excuse me, Ethan Logan?"

I heard a voice behind me.

I turned around and saw a girl about my age with long black hair in a ponytail standing behind me.

She was obviously a senior and leader of a popular clique.

Girls were already surrounding her, looking up to her like she was their queen.

"Um yeah?"

I questioned her.

"My name is Lily Chen. Welcome to our school. I'm sure you'll get used to it here."

She smiled sweetly at me and I couldn't help but blush a little.

"Thanks, I'm sure I will. It was nice meeting you, Lily."

I turned and walked away, trying not to make eye contact with anyone else.

I didn't want to stand out any more than I already did.

I was already the center of attention and I didn't want it.

I was a shy guy and I didn't like being the center of attention.

I ducked into the locker room to change for gym class.

I had to hurry before the girls got there, or they would see me shirtless.

The air conditioning hit my sweaty skin as I peeled off my damp shirt.

Footsteps echoed in the hallway outside, growing louder as people approached.

Apparently, the girls' volleyball team finished early.

I panicked as I tried to put on my clean t-shirt, but it was tangled in a knot.

The door creaked open and several girls froze in the doorway, staring at my bare chest and abs.

"Ethan, right?" one of the girls finally spoke, her eyes wide with surprise.

"Uh, yeah," I replied awkwardly, desperately trying to untangle my shirt.

"Don't worry, we won't tell anyone," she said with a reassuring smile, glancing at the others who nodded in agreement.

My hands fumbled with the bunched-up fabric of my shirt as I tried to pull it down over my exposed chest.

The volleyball team stood frozen in the doorway, clutching their practice gear in their hands.

A tall girl with blonde hair stepped forward, her eyes scanning me from head to toe.

"I'm Sarah, by the way," she said, her voice steady and confident.

"We won't spread any rumors or anything. Don't worry."

The other girls nodded silently, but a few couldn't help sneaking glances at my bare torso.

I muttered a quick thanks and grabbed my gym bag, edging past them toward the door.

Sarah touched my shoulder, pointing to a smaller changing room around the corner.

"You can use that one next time. It's less crowded."
