Yes, you called yourself Ally

You began to fidget and your heart palpitates. Julie also said similar things to you today as well, she suggested Alexis and you like that name pretty much.

“I guess I’m cool with that. Can we go with Ally, it sounded more gender-neutral compared to Alexis and Alanna.”

“Let’s make this clear, your name will be Ally Sancho, my nephew, I mean niece. My sister’s daughter who came to our city to experience an internship in La Senza. You are staying in Alex’s room because he is away for an internship as well.”

You nodded as you listen attentively. You did not expect this to become a reality. These days, you had weird dreams about being a girl. In one of your dreams, you were out shopping wearing dresses and had some girl besties. In another, you were wearing a T-shirt and a skirt, working in La Senza.

“I think that should be all about it.” Mum interrupted your daydreaming.

“Ok Mum.”

“Honey, you need to call me Aunt Justina.” Your Mum said.

“Right Ally, you’re my cuzz now! I bought you some clothes on the way back home from work. It comes with next day exchange, can you try them and let me know if they fit?” Alison said as she points towards 2 bags of clothes beside the coffee table in the living room.

You went to the living room You opened one of the paper bags and peeked inside. There are at least half a dozen clothes of various colors in the bag. A white dress caught your eye, it was similar to the one you had in your dreams.

“Like them? I’ve also bought some undies, bathing suit and a purse for you. They’re in the other bag.”

You opened up the other bag and you saw smaller bags from La Senza, Guess, Mars Swimwear.

“Thanks sis. I like it.”

“Ally, let’s go to my brother’s room and try on all the new clothes. If they don’t fit, I can return them to the stores tomorrow.” Alison said as she picked up the bag containing the clothes and head towards your room.

You carried the other bag and followed close behind. Your Mum or Aunty Justina stayed behind in the living room and started knitting. As you walked up the stairs, your mum shouted from the living room, “Sweet dreams, honey, sleep early you two!”

“Yeah Mum, goodnight!”

“Goodnight Mum, I mean Aunty Justina!” you shouted as you continued to head towards your room.
