It quickly became routine, as she more than pulled her weight around the house. Two of us would go to work, One would go to school, another to college, and the last would wander around Perth, gradually getting to know the layout. She seemed particularly attached to King’s Park, often borrowing a pair of binoculars and a bird guide for the day.

Red Shoes
by KaylaKayKee

These are the diary notes of a young man whom after taking a summer job experiences changes beyond anyone’s wildest imagination. It also suggests that there may be magic out there, not in the form of dramatic hocus-pocus but a more subtle one.

And sometimes that magic can come from something as inconspicuous as a pair of — Red Shoes.

I was wearing my favorite dangly earrings that looked like a tiny model of the solar system with only 3 planets. I had a three-quarter sleeved top that showed off my breasts that were small and yet seemed to fit my frame. I heard loud voices behind me and turned to see what the commotion was about and saw my mother and sisters coming toward me, shouting and pointing at me. I covered my face and yelled nooooooo.

13.1 Your Sister

Sunday passed quietly.

Aarav felt relieved that the haircut had been cancelled, but he still did not know what would happen at school.

Once, while sitting with Riya, he picked up a small clip and fixed it into his hair. He kept it there for several minutes, removed it, then put it back again.

Neither of them knew whether they were preparing for a new beginning or only enjoying one more safe day at home.

On Monday morning, Mother called Mrs. Patwardhan.

"I would like to meet you," she said.

12.1 The Long Night

Mother barely slept that night.

Whenever she closed her eyes, another part of the past year returned to her.

The forgotten nail-paint. Aarav's red eyes after school. The small bindi that had finally made him confess the bullying. His poor monthly-test marks. The boys avoiding him after the suspensions.

Then she remembered the girls' building.

She had seen Aarav become less frightened there. His marks had improved. He had made friends and become someone his classmates approached for help.

11.1 The Closed Door

Mother returned from work at six-thirty.

Riya opened the door. Mother placed her bag on the chair and removed her sandals.

"How was the carnival?"

"It was good," Riya said. "We enjoyed it."

"Where is Aarav?"

"He was tired. He went to rest."

Mother nodded and went to freshen up. She did not ask Riya to wake him.

By half past seven, dinner was ready. Riya sat at the dining table, but Aarav's bedroom door remained closed.

"Call your brother," Mother said.

Aaradhya's Story — Illustrated Edition — Chapter 10 — The Carnival Day

Outside the lift, Anaya and Kavya were waiting.

Both girls became quiet when they saw Aarav. Their surprise was clear, but neither of them laughed or made a large reaction.

Anaya looked first at his arranged hair.

"The clips match the kurta."

Kavya noticed the painted nails and the two bangles.

"You came fully prepared."

Aarav looked down at himself.

"Only for today," he said quickly.

"Okay," Kavya replied.

Once the first surprise had passed, she asked, "What should we call you today?"

Aaradhya's Story — Illustrated Edition — Chapter 07 — Summer Choices

7.1 The Quiet Weeks

For the first week of vacation, Aarav liked having nothing to prepare for.

He slept late, wore old T-shirts and shorts, and left his schoolbag untouched in a corner. There was no temporary pass to carry and no reason to think about which building he had to enter.

9.1 The Appointment

By the time lunch was nearly over, the result-day excitement had settled into a quieter happiness.

"School will reopen in ten days," she said. "I have booked your usual salon appointment for Saturday. Your hair has become too long for school."

Aarav's spoon stopped above his bowl. The happiness from his result disappeared almost immediately.

He looked down and said, "Okay."

Mother heard only agreement. Riya heard the sadness beneath it.

8.1 Riya's Result

The summer routine continued for a while.

Not every day. Aarav still wore his own shorts and T-shirts most of the time. But every few afternoons, he brought the clips to Riya, asked for the soft T-shirt, or chose one of the kurtis. Sometimes he went downstairs dressed that way; sometimes he stayed inside.

Then Riya's Class 10 result arrived.

By the final term, Aarav's classmates knew him for more than the transfer.

Girls brought notebooks to his desk when they needed help with maths, geography, or project work.

"Why did the sign change here?"

"Can you check the spelling of plateau?"

"Show me the map once before the test."

Aarav liked being asked. He could open a notebook, explain one step, and see someone understand. He no longer felt that every person approaching his desk was coming to embarrass him.

Aaradhya's Story — Illustrated Edition — Chapter 05 — Becoming Part Of The Class

5.1 Known By His Name

By the second month, Aarav knew the girls' building well enough to move through it without looking for Riya first.

He knew the crowded staircase after Marathi period, the library timings, and the corner near the office where students waited after forgetting an ID card. He could go for water alone and sit with Anaya and Kavya even when Riya had an extra Class 10 lesson upstairs.

Still, new girls sometimes called him "Riya's brother" before remembering his name. A substitute teacher once asked whether he was visiting.

4.1 The Empty Building

The girls' building stood on the far side of the same campus. It had the same cream paint and morning bell as the boys' building, but Aarav stopped at its gate as if he had reached a different school.

Mother brought him there after school, when most students had left. Riya waited near the staircase after her extra period. Anaya and Kavya had also stayed so Aarav could see the classroom he might join.

Aaradhya's Story — Illustrated Edition — Chapter 03 — Mother's Visit

Mother did not go to school in anger.

That frightened Aarav more than shouting would have done.

She ironed her cotton kurta in the morning, packed his tiffin, and checked his diary twice. Riya stood near the kitchen door, holding her own school bag.

"Aai, should I come?" she asked.

Mother shook her head. "You go to your building. I will handle this."

Aarav looked at the floor.

"I told you not to make it big," he said.

Mother closed his tiffin box and kept it in his bag. "If a child is scared to enter class, it is already big."

Aaradhya's Story — Illustrated Edition — Chapter 02 — The Month Of Aaru

For the next two days, Aarav rubbed the nail-paint so hard that the skin around it became red.

The pink colour vanished completely.

The teasing did not.

At first, the boys still talked about the nail-paint. Then they began noticing other things, as if the pink nail had taught them where to look.

Aarav did not shout during games. He did not enjoy pushing and fighting. He kept his notebook neat. He sat with his knees together because that was how Riya and her friends sat during indoor games. He said "sorry" quickly. He used words the society girls used.

CHAPTER 63
The poor lad was twitching with nerves, so Maz just stepped closer to hug him, mother to the core, and I had a sudden burst of the hatred I would never lose for the bastards who had kept them apart for so long.

We waited, and waited some more, but I finally spotted a duty-free bag reading ‘Singapore’ and knew we were finally in the home straight. Each time the automatic doors opened, the lad twitched, and then she was there, and it was LC who saw her first and beat her brother to the hug. Ish was close behind, and there was a moment that touched me as, rather than usurp his sister’s position, he simply included her in the hug.

The Door

*A Life in Plain Sight* begins with Steve, a thirty-five-year-old man whose small, fine-boned body and naturally androgynous presentation mean strangers routinely perceive him as a beautiful woman—a fact Steve has lived with for years without allowing it to complicate his certainty about who he is. Intelligent, literal, funny, intensely curious, and comfortably isolated, Steve has built a perfectly functional life around work, family, hobbies, and the conviction that *not unhappy* is good enough.

The Greenville Bazaar

The Greenville Bazaar was a massive charity shop that was located at the very start of main street. According to local tradition, main street started at the base of the massive concrete levee and ended on concrete steps of the courthouse. Anyway, as soon as I entered the building I felt a sense of wonder come over me. I felt a sudden sense of joy come over me.

Tom Edwards appeared on screen, this time in what looked to be the foyer of some big BBC office building.

“Good evening. I’m Tom Edwards, and I make fly on the wall documentaries, but you probably already know that. Tonight will be a little bit different, however, as we will be following the impact of such programmes, and teasing out a tangled web of connections that have left me in awe of human resilience, set against the worst that certain human beings can still manage to inflict on others”

Sure enough, there was a pair of panties waiting for him on the counter. The pack he had picked out at the store had no variety; they were all plain and white, since he had aimed for something that looked as close to the briefs he wore when he was younger. Putting them on while standing in the privacy of the bathroom was much easier than the awkward changing process he went through in the car.

Who is Heather Elizabeth Croft?

A few days ago I think I had an epiphany. I think I decided on a whim that my real name was not “William Alexander Croft” but instead it was “Heather Elizabeth Croft.” A revelation I'd not dared to share with anyone in fear of being laughed at or at worst being put aboard a south bound train to Chamberlain Hunt, a private military school that was located in Port Gibson, Mississippi. Some one hundred and fourteen miles south of Greenville, Mississippi.

That said all I needed to hear. Two days later and we were finally off to the reef, which was a surprisingly long ride, around an hour and a half, in a large catamaran with the entire back end forming a full-width staircase. LC made it very clear that the boat should have had sails, while Maz simply settled into her bird-naming trans, bless her. I didn’t care; Ish and I stretched out on the sundeck while our girl was treated to a high-chair on the bridge.

The four enhanced women ran down the long, dark alleyway between two skyscrapers in downtown Olympia. It felt like they’d been evading pursuit for hours, and each of them was nearly heaving with exhaustion, especially Agatha. She’d been carrying Lana’s limp body draped over her shoulder for the last three miles without respite.
