This entire life have been boring and uneventful, when it wasn’t, it was like being in hell itself, where only misery and suffering exist. I know full well to not take these uneventful moments for granted, as it could be worst.

Right now I’m just a 16 year old boy still in school and keep doing school stuff, nothing special in particular, there was a few newcomers this year, not exactly bad, they were very friendly and open to most, even me, who was the quiet type that people doesn’t hate or get along, just neutral, I help people sometime when they ask for help, but that was about it, nothing that stands out, just a blonde boy with boring brown eyes, slightly above-average grade aside I was truly boring and mundane in the eyes of everyone, and it was better that way, that means things are less likely to happen to me, no world screwing me over, no random guy coming in the stab people, no curse to worry about… no, the curse or whatever it actually is I have to worry about, it’s not something I can just brushed off, it is troublesome in many way, it gets in the way of my near non-existent social life, I simply cannot go outside at night with moonlight shining down on Earth, it’s a pleasant light, but not beneficial, it’s detrimental, at least to my life outside… 

I do not understand why such a curse exist or why on me, simply to plunge me further into despair? Have what happened to me back then not enough for God or whatever higher being that is out there? Or whoever grant this upon me think it’ll be good for me? Why is that wish granted? It hurt my head thinking about to, to turn into such an unnatural being when the moonlight hit you, to turn you into a girl with long white hair and red eyes, a girl with bunny ears, it’s crazy to simply think about it, it feels unreal and strange, while I don’t necessarily hate the form, and in fact I actually enjoyed it, much to my confusion at first, but the form is so abnormal there’s no way I could show it to anyone or anything, they will call me a monster, a demon, the devil, whatever it is that they can think of that is inhumane and evil...

Right now I simply sit in the classroom waiting for the class to end, right now is a rather simple lesson about history, mainly about religion and so forth, nothing new or special. There is an assignment but it’s also rather easy, I finished it early than others and took the rest of my time in class pondering about my life.

*Ring*

“Class is over students, see you all next time” The teacher speak up, and then she left the room. Now everyone started to talk among themselves, I think it’s better if I go home instead of listening to them.

“Where are you going bud?” Thomas speak up before I could get up from my desk. This is one of the new guy, brown messy hair and eyes, taller than me, but that’s a given. I’m 5’6” (168 cm), on the shorter side for guys here, it’s not out of place if I’m a girl… which I kind of am, but then again girls are usually shorter than that and I’m the guy most of the time unfortunately, so it’s slightly out of place more often than not.

“What do you want?” I said to one of the newcomer slightly exasperated.

“Just that you look like you could use some company, want to have a chat?” Honestly I don’t want to, things might get too personal, but might as well.

“Not really, but it would be rude to decline your offer” I said to him.

“You’re always so polite and nice, even if you’re a little blunt, yet no one seems to hang out with you, kinda dumb of them to be honest” I don’t think that two word is quite right, and flattery will get you nowhere.

“Not really, I’m just not one for conversing” I have always been the quiet type and really not very comfortable with socializing for the most part, mainly because of my secret.

“Whatever you say, not like that couldn’t be change later, anyway what do you usually do after school?” He said curiously.

“Just doing homework and play some game, maybe looking up something to read online, nothing that exciting I’ll say” Usually I look up story about gender bending, usually to see how people will react to such a thing, it’s a bit of a split. Not that I don’t enjoy those stories, it’s quite fascinating, and as someone who is a victim of this type of change it’s something that I’d naturally read and enjoy, if only to feel better about myself with how the characters are usually portrayed positively, I do feel a bit uncomfortable looking through the trans girls community online sometime to be honest, since I basically got what they all wanted, sort of, I know technology is pretty darn advanced but even things like changing from one sex to another is still difficult and risky.

“Well… how about making it exciting today? How about we meet up at my place and play some games together? I’m fine with that” He said with a grin.

“Are you sure? While that doesn’t sound too bad I don’t want to stay for long, at least before it’s night” That’s where the trouble happen, honestly I just hope he was just joking around.

“That’s fine, and I’m sure you’ll get comfortable being there after a while, everyone who will be joining is super friendly I tell ya” So there are others he invited as well, not too surprising though, he likes to get friendly with others, and it seems that he was being serious. Well, there’s no harm in accepting it I suppose.

“Guess I can make an exception today, sure, I’ll come along” I really don’t want to deal with his pestering.

“Great! See you there” He gave me a thumbs up and walk away first. Hope nothing unfortunate came out of this.

Anyway time to follow him, I need to make sure I didn’t forget to put my hoodie on after school in case I actually have to leave during moonlight.

“Welcome everyone! Time to play some party game!” He declared, there’s five people in this room, all from the same school, there’s Sophia who is rather athletic and like sports, she have long blonde hair and green eyes, she’s the same height as me if my memories serve, Gary, brown hair and green eyes, tallest of us at 175 cm (5’9”) and will probably grow even taller later on, Mark, black hair and green eyes, a bit of an odd combination, apparently he have Japanese ancestry, like three generations back. Thomas, Gary, and Mark are the three new kids who are too friendly for their own good, Sophia and I wasn’t part of their group, just sorta get tagged along, both of us didn’t interacted much, I do know about her obsession with training and physical activity, a bit unsettling to be honest, so I’m glad she actually take it easy and came here.

“Alright, for today we have two special guests, Sophia and Eric, who graciously accepted my invitation” You don’t have to say it with a bit of grandiose you know, this isn’t a big event or anything like that.

After playing a few games for a while, which admittedly was fun, I look at my watch and dread start to creep up on me, it’s 6:50 PM. The moon will shine soon, I have to leave now.

“Sorry, I just remembered there’s something I have to do, I’ll be going now” I quickly apologize and leave the house.

Thomas’ house is unfortunately a bit far from mine, so chances are the moon will shine on me before I got back… Crap it’s already here, I have to pull my hoodie up and cover myself, the change take half a minute to complete, before then I should try to quickly get back.

*Dash*

I dash as fast as possible, I have memorized my way home so I know where to go as long as there’s a sign for direction, I have to memorize it since I needed to be at home when the moon is out, not knowing where my home is would be suicidal.

I kept running, even as the changes came over me, I hold my hood to make sure my face doesn’t show during the process or after. Thankfully the transformation is painless, if feels a little odd due to all the changes, my height will stay the same but my figure will turn into that of a girl, slimmer and softer, longer hair that are all inside the hoodie still, not to mention breast, which thankfully isn’t big enough to poke out and jiggle from my tight fitting shirt under my blue hoodie, and and my ears retract itself into my body, rendering me unable to hear for a few seconds, and my bunny ears grow out, I do have a tail in this form but it’s tiny and didn’t poke out of my jeans thankfully. My sense sharpen and my eyes quickly adapt to the darkness of the night as the transformation ended, I can see and hear better, even with the hood covering my ears, feels pleasant after it’s done admittedly.

“Stop moving around you bitch!” Huh? I just heard a guy yelling, sounds unpleasant, hopefully it’s not at me, wait he’s targeting Sophia! She leave earlier than me and live near me, but she leave like half an hour earlier what is she doing here? He’s holding a knife in his hand… no… I won’t let you!

*Dash*

*Deck*

“Arg!”

I decked his face in without him even moving, am I that unnoticeable to him? He’s now rolling on the ground holding his face. Whatever, is Sophia fine? I turn to look at her still holding my hood so it doesn’t fall off. She seems shocked.

“Are you alright?” I said in my now feminine voice full of worry. She walk over to me and observing me for a bit, this isn’t good. I then heard a noise from behind me, it’s definitely that guy. I turn around and-

*Stomp*

“Aaa!!!”

Is this guy a wimp? It’s almost like his leg just broke from a simple stomp. Now he’s holding it, if you want to act like you’re in pain so much then you might as well be!

*Kick*

“AAA!!!”

I kicked his other leg and he let out even louder scream. Hopefully this’ll stop him from moving for a while. I turn back to see the intimidated Sophia. Oh no did I do something wrong? 

“Umm, are you alright?” I said nervously hoping I didn’t scare or hurt her.

“O-Oh, I’m fine, thank you” She said also looking a little overwhelmed.

“That’s good to hear, I’ll be going now, please make sure to call someone to take him away before he start attacking you again, maybe 911 or something” As I said that.

*Kick*

I kick his face in, this bastard deserves it for attacking people. He fly from the impact, or am I just imagining thing?

“Anyway, I’ll be going now” I turn to face Sophia once again and make a beeline for the house. Can’t really risk staying here for long.

*Dash*

I quickly dashed away. I think I heard her say ‘wait’ or something along those line, not gonna do that for certain.

Home sweet home I’m here, I let my hood down so my ears no longer get pressed down. It’s great staying home and don’t have to worry about these ears causing trouble, just making sure no one can see inside the house and it’s fine, while one would normally be distressed over turning into a bunny girl when the moonlight came around, I got over that already, it’s been 11 years, I get used to it, if not a little too comfortable with, aside from the social and political consequences if this got out I’m fine with this body, it’s great, that’s all there is to it, calling myself Eric in this form is definitely no go, heck I didn’t even wanted to be call Eric anymore, I have a name, made it up myself, Lunia, that’s my name, Luna with an extra ‘i’ in it, not very creative I know, and my mind just sorta became like a girl after that... fiasco, or maybe it have always been that way, not like I can tell now unless she appear before me and give me an answer. Regardless of all that one thing that is certain is that being a girl is the best. Alright, time to do some homework and go to sleep.

All done! Time to get some sleep… would be what I say but I finished the homework pretty fast, still have some time left before I go to sleep, usually at this point I’m just reading some novels online, there’s a few that I really like, and most of it is about supernatural transgender people, probably because it hits me on personal level that’s why I’m so engaged in reading it, aside from that I don’t really do anything else, reading tends to suck you in and chances are you have no idea how long you have been reading or how many times you reread the story, basically just reading takes a lot of my time already.

Okay, time to get some sleep for real, the transformation should ended with the sunlight tomorrow morning, like it always does, and it’ll suck just like it always does. I hope Sophia will not think much about the incident yesterday and somehow connected it to me, that’ll be bad, I don’t think I want to deal with her at all really, not necessarily because she’s a bad person with bad attitude, but sometimes she’s way too persistent. It’s not exactly healthy for her and it’ll be bad for me as well to be the center of her attention.
