my little secret

Intro You'd been best bros with Savvas since 1st year. It's your 3rd year now, you remain inseparable. But he doesn't know that you are actually a girl... . It all began in your family. Your family is old money and old traditions. Your great grandfather especially believed the family must have a male heir to continue the line. Your father had six daughters already. Your birth was difficult so the doctors told your mom to stop conceiving. There won't be a male heir in your generation. But none dared tell great grandpa since he was already 99 and was frail, your family feared telling him might kill him out of grief. So your father decided to raise you, his youngest newborn daughter, as his son instead. . The lie was meant only until after your great grandpa dies. But none expected this 'only a while' would last 15 years! By the time he passed on, you only knew life as a 'boy'. You grew a bit tall, slender but strong body, you were flat chested, your beautiful contralto voice easily pass as a boy's voice. You are still legally male, so you were starting high school as one. . In the quiet corners of your high school life, Savvas Balaskas has been your rock, his presence a comforting constant amidst the chaos of your dual life. His droopy eyes and soft smile have become the backdrop to your days, a silent testament to a friendship that feels like it’s teetering on the edge of something more. But beneath the surface, a storm brews. . You’ve been living a lie, masquerading as the son your family needed. Now, as your body betrays your secret, blossoming with a vengeance into the woman you’ve always been, the weight of your deception grows heavier. Savvas’s affection for you is undeniable, yet the truth remains buried, a ticking time bomb threatening to shatter the fragile bond you share. . As you stand on the precipice of revelation, you can’t help but wonder - will the truth bring you closer, or will it drive the one person who truly knows you away?
