The Boy in the Dress Page #2

Everything.

Where are you going?

To Lisa James' house.

Oh, yeah.

And I've got a date with Rihanna!

Hey.

All right? Come in. Fancy a drink?

Why not?

Champagne cocktail?

You're under age.

Um Bongo?

That's gorgeous! Classic Dior.

Look at this from the '70s.

You see how the lines are all

the same?

Now, this is Italian Vogue.

My favourite.

You'd look amazing in that.

Wouldn't anyone?

My mum loved to dress up.

She always looked great.

What happened to her?

She ran off with this guy who's

got his own roofing company.

Granny says they've got a baby

together now.

I'm sorry. Me too.

Now I live in a house

full of blokes.

It's just so boring and grey

sometimes.

Can I show you something?

Wow! Who made that?

Me.

I'd do it at school, but the Head

won't let us do fashion tech.

How am I meant to be a designer if I

can't even get any qualifications?

It's beautiful.

Maybe...

you should try it on?

What? No!

Go on, try it on.

I can't do that.

Who's going to

have a problem with it?

Well, let's see -

my dad, my brother, the Head,

the football team,

oh - and everyone else I know.

Not me.

I don't think there should be

any rules.

I think we should all wear...

whatever we like.

Yeah, but whoever heard of

a boy in a dress?

We've got the Christmas things

from out the shed. Oh, right.

Thought we could all do

the tree together.

I used to do that with your mum.

I was on tinsel, she was on baubles.

Let's do it later, yeah?

Why don't you come to

the semifinals?

Can't remember the last time

you saw me play footy. Oh, I can.

She came, too.

It was just before that...

so-and-so came to fix the roof.

I'll get it.

Hello?

Lisa.

Yes, John, it's me.

Is Dennis in?

Who?

Your brother, Dennis.

Oh, yeah. Wait there.

He's out all day, but I'll tell you

who's here, and that's me.

Little accident?

I thought we could

hang around outside the chippy?

Throw things in the canal?

Whatever you want to do, babes.

Oh, look - he's back.

You ready? Sure. See you later.

Raise your game, son.

I've got something to show you.

Really?

Do you like it?

I love it.

I've been working on it all night.

I need to make a few adjustments.

Will you... put it on?

Put on the dress? Yeah.

Oh. Unless, of course,

you really don't want to?

No, no! I mean,

if it helps you out...

Why are you laughing?

You look incredible.

How does it fit? Perfectly!

So, who did you make it for?

You! What?!

Oh, I'm not stupid. I can tell you

really wanted to wear one.

And you could totally

pass for a girl,

with a few extra little touches.

Do you really think so?

You could go out in that.

Where?

I dunno. Down the street? Into town?

How about Raj's shop!
