"What, are we going to out my secret past as a drag queen now?" Ollie did move easily in his heels, mostly ignoring the encouraging whoops around them. Someone had a cameraphone out, he was pretty sure.

"You have a brother who's, what, two years older? And a twin sister. I have three older sisters, and they were teenagers by the time I was around." Some would say it had warped him irrevocably. He just lifted his shoulders in a shrug. "They liked to play dress up."

In general he didn't really like wearing heels much. Which was unfortunate, he thought, because otherwise he did have to look up just a little. It was something you definitely noticed. He didn't consider himself short, either, Ollie thought, but he sometimes felt like a midget at the Academy.
