The school day reaches its end, but there's still some interactions left that need to happen. Like this one with Emily having a talk with Debbie and Holly. Rain is also present.
Although it's Debbie and Holly who initiate the conversation, Emily lays it all out from the get go. And the other girls... hesitate. Thoughts?
And those are the sad expressions of two teens that just had it confirmed that their friend doesn't trust them anymore. =( They definitely don't look like they want to make fun of anyone.
Would talking to her mom really be a wise idea? Emily's mother is negligent and potentially dangerous, not a good person to introduce to her baby's life in any capacity. Emily really might want to just think about keeping ties severed; that might be better for everyone involved.
I think Emily is assuming the worst, she never actually gave her friends the chance to be supportive she just assumed they would not be. That isn't exactly a good move on her part as a friend herself.
Full marks for the change of direction in her life. Not as much for how she then went: "GASP! I'm not the person who my friends thought I was! Quick, I have to drop them like a stone or they might not want to be my friends anymore!"
Never mind that she already showed Debbie & Holly once she's not the person they thought she was. She got pregnant, and while they were upset with her over doing this dumb thing, I don't think they indicated they no longer wanted to be friends.
I can sympathise with Emily. Debbie and Holly are part of a past she has good reason to abhor, and I've lost friends over stupid things before... but dammit, girl.
It's such a pleasure to see Rain again <3
That baby is getting so big. Emily won't have her baby until the summer time, so that baby will be getting even bigger. I wonder how she'll handle herself going forward; she's not in the worst position, with Rain's support, but a baby at 18 for two teenage girls is a big challenge. I hope they do well <3

Oh yes, teen girls and a baby will be a mountain. But seriously, I have two and it doesn't get any easier; you fall into it, it works, then the second appears and it's still a curve ball.
Has Rain stopped wearing her falsies? I feel like her chest looks flatter, maybe wearing them plus the small amount of growth it seems like she's having means her bras are to small? I've never transitioned before so I could be wrong.
@Blue Sawyer given that Jessica told her that hormones will make "her soon-to-be-breasts will feel like death" and we've already seen that she's "had to pee every 5 minutes", seems highly likely that she's stopped wearing falsies since the extra pressure/weight hurts too much. Just my guess?
Rain hasn't worn her falsies since the day she started HRT actually; she's kinda boob-obsessed so it makes sense that she'd remove the potential for them to interfere with her growth.
They won't interfere with breast growth, especially this early in the game. Rain's just dealing with the dysphoria of wanting real ones so much that wearing breast forms is now likely to make the fake feeling of breast forms more than she wants to deal with, plus it is getting about the time (typically 2-4 months of HRT when breast buds are really starting to become sensitive and anything unnecessarily touching them can start to hurt. For me at tye end of month 1, I could feel something beginning to happen and at the end of the 3rd month little elevated mounds began to visibly start rising up under my nipples and areolas and my nipples had swollen from about 1/8" diameter before HRT to about the diameter of the eraser on the end of a #2 wooden pencil, and super sensitive. I was still presenting in guy mode and my signature nerdy geek normal attire was always a cheap button down two pocket shirt with my LG G3 phone in an Otterbox case carried in the left pocket. That practice ended rather quickly once the weight of the phone bumping against my nipple felt like a wasp sting, My nipples were also starting to poke thru the shirts too much so i quickly changed my fashion style to pullover sweaters and thank goodness it was almost the winter holidays and cooler weather finally arrived in north Texas or the sweaters would've been too warm to wear. At about 6 months breast growth was becoming quite visible for me.... nice little almost A cups beginning Tanner stage 3 and I had to start wearing a sports bra as a binder to hide them under the sweaters, I'm not sure if everyone I worked with could see the bra straps as easily as I could so I figured it was time to come out at work, and yeah heads kinda exploded a bit. At 8-9 months I started experiencing my first random male-fail occurrences, and everything just kept getting more and more femmy from then on.
Rats. I knew I should have included a link to this.
Emily's referring to wanting to speak to her mother.
