Technology is marvelous. It allows the weak human body to transcend its limits and go far beyond. Star travel was possible, new alien races have been discovered and made friends of which only served to boost the already massive leaps of knowledge and technology humanity has made beforehand. State of the art medicine, genetic manipulation and many other means of choosing one's lifestyle became available to the middle class of the planet. Robot servants, automated kitchens and prime entertainment were at their fingertips.
It was needless to say that with this humanity has changed tremendously in both culture and ideals. Only those of the lower class and below have remained more or less the same as they all poured into the serving jobs. Machines did their jobs far better but many still liked an organic touch.
Zamuel was not from a lower class household. His skimpy and flamboyant clothes may be 3D printed but their material is prime synth and his lean body showed the natural adaptation of his parent's genetic modifications. He was one of many 'sissy boys', effeminate boys with plump lips, long eyelashes and wide hips, and was about to start attending an all-sissy-boy school in pursuit of his dreams.
With a bared midriff showing his barbell navel piercing and wild shoulder-length hair, he sat comfortably in the driver's seat as the car slowly made its way through the traffic. Makeup was important and he constantly checked himself in the small hand mirror he had to make sure his lips were the perfect rosy shade and if his mascara was perfect. First impressions were everything, father said.
Beside him sat his mother, a curvaceous woman in her late twenties with a radiant flow around her. In reality she was in her forties and two children behind her. She watched her son fret over his looks with her green and almond shaped eyes that he has also inherited and smiled softly.
"Sweetie, your makeup is fine," She reassured him and put a hand on his thigh. He twitched at the touch and she slowly pulled it back, fighting the frown. She was really worried for him. "We triple checked back home."
Zam sighed and settled his hands in his lap, still looking in his reflection in the mirror as he spoke. "Yeah, you're right. I'm just really worried, you know? There were so little femboys in my school and now I'm going to a femboy-only one."
Zamuel's parents had set him up for a tough time in regular school. There were so few there that he had trouble in adapting to the more physical classes. Leiana remembered that one day when Zam was fourteen and he came back with a big smile before declaring he'd made a right and true friend. She didn't tell Zam this but she and his father hoped that the enhanced stud would start dating him and take his virginity by this time.
One touch Zamuel didn't flinch away from was when she took his lithe hand in hers, squeezing reassuringly. "Remember what your father told you."
"'We're bitches and crazy'?" He asked, stifling a laugh. Zamuel's father attended the same school years ago but didn't want to say what he learned there, seeming to want to keep it all as a surprise. Unfortunately for Zam he was neurotic about surprises and wished he knew everything he could about this place. Just applying to the school told him nothing what was done in there as their site was barred to him outside of the visitor's corner that had vague descriptions of being a fine school for femboys of all races.
Leiana chortled but shook her head. "The more you fret, the worse it gets. Just relax."
Slowly Zamuel stopped fiddling with the mirror, closing it with a quiet clap and stuffed it in his bag. He looked at the clock on his wrist-mounted commlink and saw they still got plenty of time to get to the entrance ceremony. His mother still hasn't let go of his hand and they sat there, holding hands while they went down the road with the sun beaming down on them.
It was a blessing to know that the school has classes at ten in the morning instead of at eight and earlier like his old one. At least he had time to eat breakfast properly before going. 'It's very hands-on over there' his father said, leaving him more befuddled than enlightened.
"Has he told you anything about his time there?" He asked, breaking the silence.
"At the school? No, not really. I know as much as you do, love." Leiana said, an apologetic smile on her face. It was worth a shot. "Where's Farro gone? He told you what school?"
At the end of Basic school where one goes to from kindergarten up to their maturity. Then from there they, depending on their aptitude tests, genetics and predispositions, are recommended to pick from a number of schools that are tailored to them. A student had many options, if the school is any good.
"Uhh..." Zamuel tried to remember but quickly looked up his message history with his Farro. "Oh, it's Human Resources. Wait, 57th Streiler Street...it's right next to mine!"
"Oooh!" Leiana cooed. "That's great! You two can hang out after school, then."
Her son nodded his head vigorously, a big grin on his face.
Their car finally arrived at their destination. It was a veritable complex, this school. Just the front was grandiose with a huge park. Zamuel had seen many colleges are of this size with dozens of buildings and this one hit the mark right on the head. Uniformed students were milling about from what he could see as they passed by the heavy gates. It was walled off, the school, and they had to park in the visitor's parking lot which was packed to the brim.
They barely found an empty spot that, curiously enough, pinged their car with Zamuel's name. "I get my own personal parking space?" He asked incredulously as the electric-powered car slid in perfectly into the spot and turned off.
"Mmm, this is the visitor's parking lot. I don't think you'd be parking here in the future." Leiana said as she got out. She was dressed in a rather tight and dark blue halter gown, her cleavage exposed with a heart-shaped hole on her chest.
Her outfit is almost bland when compared to her son's flamboyance as his synthweave had a rainbow of colours on both his thin cropped jacket and tight pants. His tall heels clacked on the hard and well-maintained pavement as he got out and slung his bag over his shoulder. It was impossible to stop his nervous tick of running a hand through his hair and slid lots of it to one side.
"True. Still, kinda weird." The pair made their way to the side door where a small port was with a security guard in it. It was a show of status to have flesh and blood guards instead of robot sentries but that didn't mean they weren't equipped to the teeth and bred for this kind of job.
Zamuel couldn't stop staring at the result of schooling and specific breeding's muscle-bound chest as the man sat in the small cubby with his upper body slung over the desk. His black uniform was padded and had a tag on it that just said 'security'. The femboy's eyes glazed over, only seeing the strong piece of meat behind the glass pane when a large hand reached out to snap his fingers.
"Zamuel, wake up." He said gruffly, his voice fitting the bored expression on his chiseled features. Zamuel blinked twice before realising what had happened, a blush creeping on his face. "Oh, sorry! Uh, yeah, I'm Zamuel."
"Good. Just put your palm on this so we can register you to our student database." He said simply as he typed up something on a tablet before sliding it out to show an outline of a human hand on it. Zamuel pressed his hand in, saw it scan and then ping. The guard then took it back, poked it some more and set it aside before pulling out a small hand-held device with a wide nozzle. "Extend your hand. Got an idea what mark you want?"
"Mark?"
"Your mark is gonna be a tattoo that'll last you your whole first year. You use it as clearance for first year rooms, supplies and the like. So, what'll it be?" He explained, his voice sound as bored as his face looked. It must be mind-numbing doing this for all seventy new students that arrive each year.
Zamuel thought about it but some weird smacking noise he hasn't heard until now kept distracting him. Meanwhile his mother was quiet and smiling. Finally he decided for a pair of lips. With a tingling sensation, the tattoo was 'scanned' onto the inside of his wrist. "Swipe it over the scanner near the door to get in. Have a nice day."
The femboy nodded, still hearing the noises that have now turned to slurping but was unsure from where they were coming from. The tall man just grunted. Confused, Zam went over to the door and swiped his wrist over the scanner. The door sighed as the locking mechanism let go of it and he was about to let his mother in when the guard grunted out, "Only you can go in. Your mother has to wait for you until the ceremony is over or go home."
