Change 4–Day 48

It was easy skipping Chronicling for a couple weeks after first ditching the Changers Mixer—with very little to no consequences, outside of a BS e-mail update I sent to Turner affirming how much I’m learning as Kyle, poster boy of traditional masculinity. Everybody—the Council, Tracy, even my dad—seems to be letting up the pressure on me during Y-4. Kyle, I guess, can do no wrong.

I don’t really have an instinct to “process” anymore. My brain feels rejiggered. More set in the present. Introspection and regret largely a habit of the past. All is mad easy when you are Mr. Basic Wonderful, King of Bachelor Nation, making all-American dreams come true.

I keep reminding myself that I’m only hurting myself if I don’t get my thoughts down in these Chronicles. So much is happening—so much has happened since I first changed into Drew—that I know I’ll forget a lot when it comes time to make a decision about who I’m going to be for the rest of my life. I mean, that’s like seven months away. I can’t bear to think of it right now.

Well, well, what do we have here? Me reminding me to do the right thing, with nary a guilt trip from Tracy, or a stink eye from Dad. Who, by the way, was at long last inducted into the Council last week, and is spending more hours than ever at Changers HQ. Mom joking she’s a Changers widow, but secretly she likes her alone time and has taken up doubles tennis with some friends she shares her therapy practice with.

To Dad, everything appears to be great on the outside with me—I’m the ideal son this year, winning football game after football game (yeah, I stayed on). I’m keeping the grades up, not getting distracted by dating anybody, much less Static-non-grata Audrey. No shaved head and black wardrobe, no running away from home to bunk with Radical Changers. No cloud of depression bumming everyone out. No Abider drama, or arrests, or out-and-proud marches.

Even Jason, my quarterback coach Abider-in-waiting, has become president and CEO of the Kyle Smith fan club. (What that says about Kyle I shudder to think.)

Anyway, the reason I came home and resumed Chronicling tonight is because of homecoming. Always drama at the homecoming.

First off, after my game (which we won, 35–10), I was so ragged all I wanted to do was stay home and finish season two of The Fall. But Andy begged me to hit the dance with him, because he’d never been to one and was still trying to mack on this sophomore girl he won’t stop talking about, using me as his wingman. He said the girl reminds him of Destiny. (He’s pathetic.)

That said, I sort of feel bad for Andy, seeing as his family members haven’t called to check on him even once since we told them he was bunking with us, and all he ever does is go to school and then go to work on weekends, so he can “pay rent,” even though my parents keep telling him that’s crazy.
