He tries on his school uniform.

He knew he wouldn't have much time before his roommate came in, so he was quick to change.

He noticed the problem right away. All of these uniforms were made according to Alexa's measurements. Joshua was just two inches taller than his sister, but two inches makes a pretty big difference when you're talking about skirt lengths.

The skirts at St. Margaret's were already pretty short--they were supposed to come to mid-thigh. Which meant Joshua would be stuck wearing essentially mini-skirts.

He thought maybe he could tell the school he had a growth spurt over the summer, but he'd probably have to pay for his replacements, and with all the money he owed to the woman at the hair-removal salon, he probably couldn't afford new uniforms.

He was glad he had waxed his legs, at least.

Just then, the door opened, and his future roommate walked in.

"Hello," Joshua said in his best girl voice.

"Hello," his roommate said.
