Trying to act naturally

Jason looked at himself in the mirror, in disbelief, but at the same time impressed with the result. He never imagined that Ian would actually be able to transform him into a perfect copy of his mother. All to save Ian's skin, who had been misbehaving and was now at risk of suspension, since the principal wanted to talk to a guardian. And with the stern promise from his parents that the next warning would be the last, Ian was in trouble.

“I can’t believe you talked me into this,” Jason muttered as he adjusted his shirt. He snorted, but couldn’t help but admire himself a little. “These makeup tutorials on the internet are truly a blessing. At least I won’t show up at school looking like a clown.” Jason took one last look in the mirror and, turning toward the door, joked to himself, “Yeah, I look pretty.”

He barely had time to appreciate his own reflection when the bedroom door opened and Jason came face to face with Ian's father, who stopped in the doorway, his eyes widening as he saw his supposed wife in front of him.

“Wow,” Ian’s father said, his smile a mix of surprise and admiration. “You really do look beautiful.” He stepped forward, looking Jason up and down, not noticing anything was wrong. “But unfortunately, I’m going to have to undress you… You and I have a meeting with the school principal in a few minutes, remember?”

Jason felt a chill run down his spine. What the hell was he supposed to do now? He had been so focused on fooling the principal that he had never considered the possibility of running into Ian's father! The man kept looking at him in an oddly affectionate way, oblivious to the prank. Jason tried to keep his composure, his mind racing to find a way out.
