When I was in the sixth grade,my neighbor was my girlfriend.We'd walk to and from the bus stop together and sometimes hold hands,and we'd kissed a couple of times.We were only eleven.
Anyway we were having "Dress-up Day" on Friday,where you dress up like storybook or television characters.I made the mistake of asking her what we could dress up as.Thinking she'd want to wear some kind of couples costumes.She looked at me for a few seconds smiled and told me she'd like to see me dress up like a girl.I was surprised and asked her why.She asked me if I remembered a couple of boys that had dressed up as "Lavern & Shirley" a few years before.She told me it was hilarious,and that she could fix me up in some of her clothes and a wig.I told her no way.She got mad and told me to just forget the whole thing and went home.
A couple hours later she called and asked if I could come to her house.She told me she was sorry and to meet her in their treehouse.When I got there another girl who lived on our road was there too.I asked them what was going on and my girlfriend said that she still wanted to see me dressed up like a girl.I looked at a box that was sitting on the floor and saw a blonde wig and some dresses in it.I told her to forget it,that I was leaving.I started to open the trap door but as I bent over,she grabbed me around the waist and yelled,"Oh No You Don't!".The other girl grabbed me too,and the two of them went to work on me.I tried to get free,but I was no match for them with them knowing I wouldn't fight them.I remember my girlfriend's little sister opening the door and her eyes almost popping out!She saw the girls wrestling me trying to get a dress on me,and they had stripped me down to my underwear!My girlfriend told her she could help,but only if she promised not to tell.So she joined in!
Once they got me zipped into the dress I gave in and stopped struggling.I figured I couldn't be embarrassed anymore than I had already.So I just sat there while they added the wig and some hair ribbons.The other girl had ofcourse brought a camera,and she snapped a picture!They told me if I didn't let them fix me up the next morning for "Dress up Day",they'd tell everybody what they'd done and show off the picture.So the next morning I was at her house early.This time I changed into the yellow dress on my own,adding white ankle socks and black shoes.The girls fixed up the wig again and applied some make-up.Then it was off to school.
It was a very embarrassing day!I was laughed at and made fun of on the bus and in class.My teacher made name tags for everyone,so everybody would know your costume.She asked me who I was and I told her I guessed I was just a girl.She told me we could do better than that,and looked me over.Then she giggled and made out my tag,and put it on my dress.It said "Little Miss Muffet".That just made matters worse!The guys really gave me a hard time!All in all it was pretty humiliating.
