Our tale begins with a soft-spoken little five-year-old named Cane, with hair and eyes as brown as the bark of a tall tree, venturing into his first day of Kindergarten. Dressed in a simple t-shirt and jeans, his light-up shoes illuminated his every step. His head hung low, a testament to his extreme shyness and trepidation about facing a new environment teeming with strangers.
The steward of this cacophony of giggles, sniffles and chatter was Mrs. Jackson, a thirty-year-old African American woman with a spirit as beautiful as her intellectual glasses and afro haircut. She wore a brown dress that brushed her short shorts and wore brown flip flops on her feet. Her ears were adorned with large hoop earrings and her nails painted a fiery red. A golden wedding ring signified her marital status, the tattoos punctuating her skin told stories of her life. Makeup and lipstick added to her charm, drawing her students in with her warm and caring aura.
Addressing her young charges, Mrs. Jackson introduced herself, offering a brief rundown of what they could expect in her class. Amidst the hubbub, her sharp eyes noticed little Cane, desperately trying to make himself invisible. Mrs. Jackson could see the shy boy's struggle, and she silently vowed to lend her help later. The chime of the recess bell initiated a flurry of movement, all except for Cane, who merely watched his classmates rush out to play.
Mrs. Jackson gently placed her palm on the little boy's back, her smile a beacon of reassurance in his apprehension. "Cane, it's time for recess. We can talk later, okay?" With her words, the hesitant boy took off, his path illuminated by the flickering lights of his shoes.
The playground was awash with noise and movement as the children played around. A basketball court caught his eye and the lure of shooting hoops alone was too enticing to resist. With a basketball in hand, he imagined himself far away, at home, in a safer setting. His solitude was shattered by a small group making their way towards him: Mikayla, Jennifer, Judy, and Travis; an array of personalities as defined by their outer appearances as their words.
Travis, the sunshine blonde-haired boy with sky-blue eyes, encrusted in a towering frame and sporting a t-shirt, shorts and Nikes, demanded, "Give us your ball now!"
Cane stuttered, "But? But? I had it first!"
Staring down at the shorter boy, Travis questioned, "How old are you?" To which Cane helplessly replied, "5 years old."
From the sidelines, the curly brown-haired Jennifer prodded curiously, "Really? When's your birthday?" Fumbling in his mind for the answer, Cane finally managed to mumble, "Mommy said uh April 23rd."
Jennifer snickered in reply, "You were so close. I was born April 21st. But I'm 6 years old making me a year older than you."
Cane finally retorted, "This wasn't the only ball. Why are you being meanies?" That's when Jennifer, the girl in the flowery dress, pounced on him. The world spun around him as he succumbed to dizziness. His vision was consumed by darkness.
When Cane opened his eyes, things were... different. He was taller, and his hands— once sturdy—were now delicate. An unfamiliar mass of long brown curls obstructed his view. Confused, he looked down, eyes falling onto a flowery dress and a pair of girly sandals. His heart pounded in his chest as he looked over to see Jennifer standing where he had been, with his voice declaring from his stolen body, "That's what you get. You should've given us the ball."
In shock, Cane whimpered, "What did you do? I want my mommy!" The words barely made it out of his mouth before realization struck him. The voice that echoed around him was not his; it was Jennifer's.
In horror, Cane fled from the mirroring crowd towards somewhere secluded, his borrowed skirt billowing in his wake. His solitude was short-lived, for he was interrupted by a boy pointing him towards dolls and hopscotch, evidently 'girl-appropriate' activities. His heart broke as he instantly realized the realness of his predicament.
"My name is Cane! My name is not Jennifer!" Cane cried into emptiness. Weeping, a final confrontation bore the shocking truth, "Sorry, I actually like being a boy. I don't know what your name is but I'm keeping this body. Have a nice fun life being a girly girl that wears dresses and stuff. Your name is Jennifer and you're 6 years old now."
With that, his world collapsed. Forced to navigate an alien reality, the somber weight of the loss of his original identity leaving him bereft and dismayed, Cane could only utter a ramble of despair: "I hate this. I never wanted to go to school. I'm gonna miss mommy so much. I don't wanna be a girl! I hate these girly shoes and this blue thing! I hate dresses! I hate my new girly voice! I hate my long hair! I'm not a girl!"
The tragic story of Cane ends here, stripped of his innocence and forced to reconcile with his newfound identity without understanding or embracing it, his first day of school morphing into a nightmare from which he couldn’t wake. His boyhood was unexpectedly stolen, a fate he surely hadn't imagined in his anxieties about fitting in, making friends, or being shy.

Please have Cane walk back to where the basketballs are kept attempting to grab one before being stopped by a random boy who tells him the dolls are over there and the hop scotch and jump rope is over the other way and that girls can't play basketball as he fell to the ground again crying hysterically as he squeezed his new female eyes shut hoping he was dreaming opening his eyes to see he was still in Jennifer's body not knowing he was permanently stuck in the body of Jennifer and would never go back to being Cane again having his boyhood and his old innocent life taken from him making this story have a bad and depressing ending.
