2 New/Old Encounters

A/N: New chapter time. HERE WE GOO! LET'S PARTY! I added the comedy tag on Webnovel, so I just hope this is comedic enough. After you read this chapter you will realise how light-hearted it is in terms of it not being serious at all, in comparison to THPT. Like always please enjoy!

RECAP TIME!!: Last night I spun a magical roulette that would transform me into the "character of my dreams". That being Marin Kitagawa from My Dress Up Darling. I didn't believe it at first, like everyone does and went to sleep. The next morning, it was clear I was stupid for not believing it as I had ACTUALLY become her. Not only that, but reality had changed so that it looked like I always had been her. Jeez, I'M GONNA SUE THEM!

–

I'm in some deep trouble, seriously! I only have two days until the new term* starts. The question is though, will I still have the same relationships as I did before. Just imagine walking up to someone you thought was your friend and they say "Eww, who the hell are you?", the embarrassment will be more painful than anything you will experience. I cannot let that happen.

Still wearing the baggy white t-shirt and blue shorts, still no underwear on mind you, I walk down the creaking stairs to grab my gaming laptop. Thank goodness I still have this bad boy, if I lost this then I would 100% sue their ass.

I picked up a little notebook and decided to write down what I need to do.

– A minute later –

Okay, I have decided to come up with my plan of action.

MARIN KITAGAWA TO-DO-LIST:

1- Get used to this body

2- Go to school

3- Look into who made the roulette

4- Do some self discov… ahem, -_- maybe that shouldn't be there.

5- Make new friends

Time to forget about all my problems and play some games!

– Sometime later –

GODDAMMIT! Death.. That's all that is awaiting me. Why are these games so difficult? Breaking me out of my frustration I heard a door open accompanied by a voice I've been dying to hear. "Marin! I'm home!" Walking past the living door she turned to me with the usual stern face and made the usual remark. "Marin.. Why aren't you dressed yet? It's 4pm." Ahh, normally I would make a joke about it or be scared depending on the reaction, but this time it brought tears to my eyes, tears of joy of course.

"Get dressed now, we have to go out and buy your uniform for your new school." Huh? New school? I thought I'd be going to the same school as before? I swear… they better not be sending me to a completely different school. "Umm.. mum.. What do you mean by new school?" She looked at me as if I'd grown an extra head or died, perhaps both is the case. She looked down and sighed. "We just moved here at the end of the previous term*. So, we need to get you a new uniform. Are you seriously alright?"

We just moved here? What kind of crack has this woman been smoking, we've lived here all my life. Oh right.. Reality has been messed with so some things will have changed. I hope to god it's the same school as before. "Yeah yeah, I'm fine. I'll just go get dressed alright." She nodded in response. And so, I made my way back up the stairs into my storage cupboard sized bedroom and proceeded to get changed.

– Minutes later –

Jeez, now that was difficult. That bra did not want to stay on, I almost broke my arms trying to attach it together. Enough about that, because I'm not used to wearing the top-notch fashion that is now in my possession, I decided to wear a simple black short sleeve t-shirt and blue denim trousers. During my time changing I had some time to think and I realised something, even though we just moved here, the reason why most of the pictures have only been changed by replacing it with this body is very simple. No friends. Yup that's right. I have little to no friends that I can speak of. So there won't be any change whatsoever.

Pretty sad right? I only really had three friends at school, I didn't even talk to them outside of school or meet up with them. Which makes me a "loner". This is probably why I was looking for something to change, this brings a whole new level to "be careful with what you wish for." I was broken out of my self depreciation when I heard my mum tell me to hurry up. "Alright Alright! I'll be down in a second." I just wish I had even more time to think.

"Are you ready to go?" she inquired. I nodded my head. Just before I left, I grabbed a can to quench my thirst. Saying hello to the neighbour as we walk past her. Getting in the car and driving off. Sigh, I stared out of the window. I just hope nothing bad happens.

– Uniform Shop –

After a quick 5 minute drive we arrived in front of the uniform shop. It has several different uniforms for many different schools in the area. I had to ask just to make sure, "Which school did you say I am going to?" she pointed towards the one position in the corner of the room and upon seeing it I felt an immeasurable amount of happiness. It was the uniform of New Hope Secondary School that I went to before! *Insert weird webtoon face*. The shop clerk must have been just as confused as my mother seeing me dance and cheer. Mum stopped me and handed me the uniform, "Go into the changing rooms and change."

The uniform had been changed slightly, it still had the usual black blazer and the same badge, but it had the tie and skirt that Marin from the anime would wear. Well, I guess it's time to try it on.

– After Changing –

Opening the curtain. I stepped out and showed myself to the world. Well not the world, but my mum, the shop clerk and the random lady looking for a uniform for her own kid… I would assume. My mum looked happy, maybe too happy. "God, why does my daughter look so good in everything?" It felt quite nice hearing that, but also, it felt so weird. Like seriously, I was your average looking guy yesterday and today I am a kawaii girl. Make this make sense.

"Give us a twirl." I followed her order and spun around, still it was a little embarrassing. I spun a little too hard and the skirt lifted up too high. It gave everyone a little glimpse at my underwear. I held my hands down to hide it in embarrassment. "Don't worry we're all women here." Mum, isn't that what every female anime character says? And also, my mind is that of a man okay?

She agrees that it's the right size and tells the clerk that we are going to buy it. I go back into the changing room and change back into my t-shirt and trousers. I go back out intending to go up to my mum when I see someone I did not expect to see. Someone who goes to New Hope, one of my only friends. A girl by the name of Serena. Grassy green eyes, clean cut wood brown hair that reaches just above her shoulders, a pretty and well-mannered face. She really gives off the energy of the stoic and serious class president types.

I can't believe someone like her would become friends with the old me. Well, the only reason was because she probably felt bad for me when I said I fell out with my old best friend. Or she thought I was funny in some way. I went over to my mum without saying anything when I got a tap on the shoulder. I turn around and who do I see? Serena.

"Sorry, but you dropped this." She held the notebook I used to write my plan. "Oh uh thank you." I quickly thanked her and took it out of her hands. I turned back around and started to head towards my mum when I heard another sudden voice behind. " You're going to New Hope right?" I jumped a little in surprise. A turned around again and looked at her straight in her blank eyes. "Yes, that's right. Do you go there too?" I already knew, but with her personality she would probably call the police if I said I already knew she did.

"Yes I do, I assume you are a transfer student." I nodded in reply. "Well, if you need help at school then just find me. You can call me if you need help in any other way." I nodded again, but then I realised, how am I supposed to call her if I don't have her phone number. I never even asked her for it before. I lost the opportunity when he walked out of the shop.

I looked back down at my notepad and I almost coughed up blood from what I saw, "Call me..*her number* <3" WAS SHE FLIRTING WITH ME? Have I been sent into a girl x girl fanfiction?.... Not that there's anything wrong with that.

After thinking to myself for a while in embarrassment, my mother alerted me and told me it was time to leave. What on earth have I gotten myself into…
