In a lot of places, you meet a lot of people that can really surprise you with the things they do. They can be one thing one day, and be something else the next day. The city was like the ever-changing wind. It was always shifting, changing, and adapting to the climate of the world. And it just happened to be Manchester that housed a certain phenomenon that you just don't see every day. That phenomenon was called `Shannon Hunter'. Deep in the residential area of Greenhill, a suburb of Manchester, a young `woman' strode through a downpour of rain, her dark blue umbrella shielding her from the chipping wetness of the rain. As quickly as she could, Shannon crossed the quiet road over to her building, a brick-boring type of place you would expect a university student to attend. Shannon stepped over to the front door of her building, past the gates, then thrust her hand into her handbag to fish out her keys. After a struggle with lipstick, purses and a mobile phone, Shannon managed to drag out her set of keys. A set of keys that she dropped soon after. "Damn." She mumbled. The sweet platinum blonde bent over on sexy, feminine legs, and snatched her set of keys back into her hand from the door mat, and quickly slotted them into the door. As the door clicked open, Shannon stepped through the door and shut it behind her, finally escaping the rain. The healthy, bouncing teen shook her head feverishly to shake out droplets of rain, and did the same with her umbrella. Whoever said that English rain was myth obviously hadn't lived their very long. Still, Shannon had gotten used to it by now. Shannon had moved to England with her mother when she was five. They were both born, in actuality, within France, but due to the job opportunities and the welfare system, her mother had felt it best to migrate. Of course, it wasn't much of a move, France was more or less next door, she could re-visit there anytime, but chances are, things wouldn't be the same. Not only had Shannon developed a thick English accent over her previous French one, Shannon had been male back then. It seemed so simplistic to say that; `she had once been male'. But the truth of the matter was that it was not a simple thing. Quite the opposite in fact. A decision like that was not taken lightly, and Shannon was well aware of the consequences. But consequences or not, Shannon loved the freedom she felt with being a woman. To express her true self and embrace a happiness that was denied to her everyday, that was the greatest reward someone could hope for. The young star shook her umbrella dry for a few minutes, then undid her jacket, fastening it on the hook by her door. After she finished with that, she walked over into her adjacent kitchen and started to rustle up something hot to drink. While she did so, Shannon began to muse over her past. She remembered the days when she was not known as Shannon Hunter, rather she was a young boy called Nathan Hunter. Shannon (or Nathan) had had an easy life up until his moving to England. At first glance, he appeared to be no different than any other boy his age. Playful, crazy about toys, fearful of girls, and ignorant of the world around him. That was a standard life for a six-year-old boy. Then, when his mother relocated to London, things began to change. Nathan found himself in an environment that was similar, but different at the same time, like an upside down world. The kids were rude and mean to anyone but their friends, the food was so plain and boring, the weather was so unsettled. It all got to Nathan, but he eventually got used to it and managed to get on with life. Then when he hit is twelfth year, his little bout of peace ended. Suddenly, all his peers had lost their fear of girls, and started their childish conversations of `who's getting some pussy tonight, eh?'. Whereas, Nathan, still wasn't very enthusiastic about women. In truth, his eyes glanced towards the fellow schoolboys that he worked alongside. Nathan was particularly attracted to one, an 11-year-old boy called Charles. Charles was just like most London East-End boys his age, arrogant, loud and unashamedly homophobic, but there was something about him that Nathan just couldn't quite resist. His silky black, wavy hair, pale blue eyes, they all drew Nathan in, like a piece of metal, magnetized to another. It's easy to guess that things didn't go well, because they didn't. Charles and Nathan one day walked home together, right by an embankment. Charles declared that he was `a little pooped out' in his cockney voice, and the two of them laid down on the grassy clearing, one that was close to a railway line. They talked, about computer games, music, what beer tasted like, and after a while Charles nodded off to sleep. Nathan thought nothing of it at first, but then he took a look at the sleeping boy. Nathan was drawn to him once more, he felt his heart pound again, but this time he acted on it. Nathan, ever so sweetly, placed a gentle kiss against, Charles' lips. Charles did not wake up, but deepened the kiss in his sleep, thinking it mush have been some beautiful girl. Their kiss lasted for a while, till Charles woke up. It was then that he realized what he had done with Nathan, and his temperament clearly presented his disgust. Screaming, `get the fuck off me' Charles stood upwards, punched Nathan, and ran away, leaving a teary-eyed Nathan behind. The next day, when the knowledge of this was passed around the school, he heard nothing but `faggot' and `back-shotter' from all the people he *thought* were his friends. Suddenly he was the outcast again, and it felt much worse now. The taunting wasn't the real hurter, it was the fact that Charles hated him so much. Was it really that bad to love him? It didn't feel bad loving him. Well, whatever he wanted, Nathan spent the rest of his four years at secondary school in agony. There was only one thing that came close to cheering him up, that was when he would come home in the afternoon, sneak up into the attic, and try on some of his mother's old dresses. Nathan felt... comfortable dressing as a girl. He really did. Nathan even imagined that one day, Charles would come and see him like that and fall in love with him. It never happened, but Nathan loved the idea. Eventually, this little habit became a strong trend, until Nathan convinced himself that he should have been born a girl. Later on in years, when Nathan reached 18, he began to realize that his figure was not very masculine. His arms were lacking in muscle, in fact they had no muscle. His legs were long and shapely, his behind was firm and so well rounded. Not only that, but his voice did not break during puberty, giving that sweet innocent sound to it. At first, Nathan didn't really notice it until he dressed up in his mother's clothes again and *really* looked at himself. His body was naturally feminine and petite. After working up the courage, Nathan put on some lipstick and took one of his mother's wigs. He brought himself to step out his front door and walked to the outside, just to pick up some milk for later on. He was astounded by the horny stares and wolf-whistles he got as he stepped out onto the street. It was a rush, an insane moment of impulsive action, but for the first time in years, Nathan felt happy and comfortable with himself. Which was why, when he moved to Manchester to attend University, he decided to change his gender. Permanently. Instead of wearing a wig he grew his hair longer, let his nails grow longer, and started fiddling with make-up. On the 24th of August, of that year, Nathan Hunter became Shannon Hunter, one of the most gorgeous `women' in Manchester. It was easy to say that Shannon was good looking, anybody could be considered good looking by a certain person's standards, but Shannon was different. She really *was* insanely superb. Creamy skin, faultless legs, dazzlingly bright blue eyes, long blonde hair. Though she was 19 years of age currently, she looked as though she were 16. The only thing that rose suspicion to Shannon's true gender was her flat chest. She was happy with her body the way it was, though. And so, Shannon had decided to live her life as a woman. It wasn't easy living alone though, let alone as a woman, what's more, Shannon really didn't have any skills that would be suitable for a job right now. She was studying History to become a teacher, but that didn't help her now. The only thing that Shannon could do for money (that was legal) was to work in a `summer' job, like at a supermarket or at a fast food place. Now Shannon wasn't fussy, but she wasn't happy with that kind of job. There was though, *one* other `job' that she could do. And that was to sell herself. It was more comforting to regard prostitution as `selling her body' but Shannon was not a fool. She realized how bad a move it was, and she didn't like it one bit. But she really didn't have many options. People paid really well for her services and it was something she was good at. Not only that, but she only gave out for oral. Anything more than that was out of the question. Shannon knew that once she found a job she felt comfortable in, she could drop that lifestyle for good, but for now, it was the easiest way to make money. The transgender youth finally pulled out a coffee jar from within one of her numerous cupboards, then went to the fridge and pulled out a pint of milk. After putting the kettle on the stove, she used a teaspoon to exchange some coffee beans into a cup she had found. Four minutes later, the kettle was on the boil, so rather than let it linger, Shannon poured the hot water into the cup, shortly followed by the milk, to make a fresh cup of coffee. The blonde sighed as she placed the cup at her lips and drank it, the warm feeling to it was so soothing, especially after running around in the rain like that. Coming back from University was never easy for Shannon though. Being someone of her beauty and age, it was natural that she would attract a lot of attention. This was, by no means, lost on the male populous of the University of Manchester. It was one thing to be hit on, it was flattering, but when it made her late for her classes, it became an annoyance that Shannon could very well do without. That, unfortunately, was the case today, and one of her lecturers literally chew her out for lateness in front of the class. From the way he acted you would have believed that he was a secondary school teacher. There was no need to be so strict when you work at a university, right? Regardless, Shannon was forced to speak with him after the session, and she was given the usual rabble. Don't be late, don't interrupt someone's learning process by being late, etc. By now, Shannon had kinda phased this talk out of her mind, letting it roll off her back. So much the better, because she could do without the stress. It was for this reason that she was late getting to her bus stop. And expectedly, because she was late to her bus stop, she missed the latest bus that could take her straight home. So Shannon had to walk the distance, a forty minute walk, that took its toll on her feet and her nerves. The rain started during the walk, but it was still something that made the day even worse for her. "Oh well." Shannon said. "I can't feel bad all day." And she couldn't, really. She was on the game, and tonight was a regular night. Today was Friday, a good day for business, most likely because it was the start of the weekend. At present it was around 5.53, and Shannon had to get to her `corner' at midnight, which left a lot of time for her to figure out what she should wear tonight. There were regulars, people who paid for Shannon again and again, and they liked to see Shannon in different outfits that suited their tastes. Some of these men even paid extra for her to wear something new for the next time she was available. She still didn't like what she was doing, but Shannon did have to admit that she liked using the extra money to buy new clothes. As soon as she downed the coffee, Shannon placed the cup in her sink and walked out of the kitchen, and over to her bedroom. She lived in a two-bedroom flat, it wasn't exactly cheap, but she could afford it with the money she was pulling in. Shannon strolled past her bed over to her wardrobe, and began searching for something to wear. Shannon had an extensive wardrobe; some of the clothes were for personal use, like her jeans shorts and dresses, others were for her `clients', like her schoolgirl uniform and leotard. She wasn't going to wear anything special today, mainly because no one had requested anything special in recent weeks. All the better, because some of her wardrobe was less comfortable than the rest, namely the things other people wanted her to wear.
