Dan tells some of his classmates in PE about Em. Is Em in for some trouble because of it? After PE, Em was heading for the car park. Em noticed that there were a few guys standing about the Boy's loo, and the school hallway was empty. When they saw her, they called her over. One of the guys said this wasn't right. He decided to leave. The boys called him a wuss. They then turned to Em with an evil sneer on their face.

Em feels she over stepped her bounds yesterday, talking back to Mr. Jones. Especially when she called him a bigot. Now she is worried that he will demand that she be asked to leave the Jones residence and moved to another family, or be sent home back to Warsop, England, at her own expense.

Em is not having one of her better days. Life gets a wake up call. Will she be able to stay in the US and not get sent back home?

Follow the continueing story of an English foreign exchange student Em (Mfanwy), alias a boy named Rhod, that poses as a girl while in Grottoes Virginia in America. She goes to Agusta High School as a girl. Em is also a female cheerleader and taking ballet classes from Ellen to move like a graceful girl while she is in Grottoes; Rachael, the girl that actually is teaching the ballet lessons to Em, seems to think that Em is really a boy in disguise. The host family, the Jones's, do not know Em is not quite a girl, their daughter, Sandy, was told because Sandy was also a former boy. Em knows Sandy is a former boy because she was told by one of the US teachers, but the Jones family didn't realize Em was told and they feel Em should not be told about Sandy. Sandy's homophobic father, John, hates what Sandy has become and denies she is a girl. Mary, the mother, really misses her son and is having a tough time seeing Sandy as a daughter. Mary loves Em as a true daughter and treats her as such, much to Sandy's dismay. Mary is also a counselor at the high school Em is going too. Kevin the five year old spoiled brother, simply adores Aunty Em. A homophobic boy, Dan Martin, is trying to out Em to the whole school. While Dan was in Warsop England, he got kicked off of the exchange program when he lost his cool as he stumbled into his host partner Rhod, while Rhod was dressed as a girl. Dan's mouth got him into lot trouble, but he blames Rhod for everything. Dan wants to get even, so he wants to out Rhod to the whole school, without letting people know that it will be him who did it. Several teachers could lose their jobs, if Em is found out that he really is a boy, because these three teachers help Em carry on the charade. Will Em ever make it back to England without being discovered? Can he get back into England with a male passport, when he looks so good as a girl and really moves like one?

“Em, you’ll be a great mother, you took great care of Kevin. I couldn’t have done a better job. That was the first time he went to bed without an argument.” Mary said. “How did you do it?”
“Trade secret.” I giggled, “We mothers need to have some secrets.”

Mr. J looked at Sandy. “Sandy, I would like to have a little chat with you; NOW!” Mrs. J just returned and heard the request and said, “John can I have a word with you please? In the guest bedroom!” I saw him jump. “No, I want to talk with Sandy!” Mary said, “No John, you will talk with me now! OR ELSE!”

Sandy was not happy with her mom, but her dad made things worse. Would the sleepover make things better or worse? What will her dad do if he found out about the sleepover? Is Sandy still upset with Em?

Rachael is getting close to the truth. Will Em be able to convince her she is a woman and keep her from finding out her true secret??

Em, you have to move smoothly, you are jerky like a boy. Think were you are going to move your hands and slowly move them there. That's it, soon we will have you moving gracefully getting rid of your boyish movements. Her refering to my boyish movements were un-nerving me. Does she know?
