Shannon stood in the center of her room, a violin resting under her chin, the notes ringing out Kashmir by Led Zeppelin. As she sounds letting the music carry her, her eye caught the clock.

[Color=red]"Shit!!"[/color] She said with traces of her old male voice slipping in. Shannon cleared her throat, and began getting ready, a simple tight black skirt with a Supernatural rocker tee. She throw on light makeup, just something to give her a punk rock look and she was bounding down the stairs in her flats.

[Color=orange]"I spend close to sixry grand to help you become a woman and you can't even wear a dress to your graduation party??"[/color] Her father said as he puffed on his cigarette watching the news. Shannon walked over and took the cigarette out of his mouth and pulled a drag for herself before putting it out herself. She kissed his head and smiled and headed out.

Shannon pulled up to the town hall and looked over at her college acceptance letter. Juliard was the top musical school in the country and they wanted her. She was gifted with a few musical instruments and couldn't believe her luck. She was going to try and enjoy this summer. Shannon walked into the town hall and saw most of the graduating class was already there in full swing. But her eyes landed on Julien and a bit of pink crossed her cheeks, confident, outgoing, and protective of his sister. She had had a crush on Julien since she moved her, but he was into real women only and she was to quiet to even really get to know him. She quickly walked over and grabbed some punch and sat at a table sipping at it.
