In his final year of university, Zack is weighed down by constant stress from his family, who pressure him for reasons he can't control. One night, in a moment of desperation, Zack stumbles upon a mysterious website that promises a way out.Trying it...
I decided to tell the dean about my change. I didn't want to leave it until later. So I put all of the tests from the endocrinologist's clinic (the first 4 from the first clinic and the last one from the other one) in a file and decided to leave early so that I have some time to spare in case the dean wasn't here or if anything happens that could waste my time.
I told the girls about my plan and they told me that we'll meet up after I'm done. So I left the apartment alone. I was thinking wether I should actually tell the dean the truth or just make up a story. In the end, I decided to tell the truth to avoid being asked questions that I couldn't answer.
I took a rather crowded bus and had to keep standing up, thankfully I could lean on the side of the bus for grip rather than the pole. As we got close to the university, I left my spot and got close to the door before the bus stopped. I tried to hold on to something quickly before the driver pushed the brakes but I wasn't fast enough. I almost fell forwards if not for a tall woman catching my hand.
"Careful!" She almost shouted as she held my hand.
"Th-thanks!" I said with my usual hoarse voice.
She replied with a smile, it turned out that we both were headed to the university. She was a woman in her mid-thirties wearing a neat white shirt and black long skirt. She had a tanned skin tone along with black hair tied into a bun and brown eyes.

"What's with the get-up if you don't mind me asking?" She asked. I still didn't know wether she thought I was a boy or a girl so I tried to give her the impression that I'm a boy.
"I've been 'cough' under the weather 'cough cough' and it's cold." I replied with the deepest natural voice I could do.
"No I meant why the guy clothes?" She replied even more confused.
"Oh.. long story...just keep it a secret!" I held my finger up in front of my lips (even though they were behind the mask.)
"Okkk ay? Anyways, I'm headed this way so see you later I guess." We both turned at the same time to enter the main building.
"Guess not?" I laughed and so did she.
"Where are you headed?" The woman asked.
"The dean's office." I replied and I realized that I talked normally without noticing, so I just hoped she didn't notice.
"What business have you got there? I'm his secretary Linn by the way." She said with a warm smile.
"Oh great! 'cough' it's something I'd rather speak about in the office please! 'cough'" I went back to my hoarse voice.
She nodded while keeping her smile as we headed towards the office. We entered the office and I sat to the side and took out the file with my papers in it as she sorted out some new documents that were put on her desk.
