Omigosh, ohmigosh, ohmigosh! I was in Jake's body! Is this a dream? Wait, maybe I was a subject in one of those government tests. The one's that they use to find out what's in teenagers inner minds.
I ran down to tell Jake and I couldn't run as fast as I was used to because my feet were so heavy. I yanked the door to the storage room open and ran down the winding staircase.
By the time I got down there I felt like I was about to melt on the floor, I was sweating so hard. I walked because I was too tired to run to the coffin, lifted up the thousand pound lid, and screamed for Jake (WHO WAS IN MY BODY!!!!!) to wake up.
Jake (or me I don't know) slowly got up and said, "Man why do I feel so light?"
I screamed at him saying, "It's because your in my body!"
He looked at my body that he was in and said, "Whoa, is this a dream?"
"I don't think so," I said, my voice cracking and raising in pitch. "What do we do?" I said, but more squeaking than talking.
"Just wait. We have to swap bodies back sometime," Jake said calmly.
"What are we going to do at school? I mean, you think my friends are annoying and I don't even know who your friends are!" I squeaked. It just know occurred to me how awkward it was to be in a boy's body and be squeaking.
My knees were trembling and the whole world was spinning beneath my feet. Jake, or me I don't know anymore, apparently saw that I was about to collapse. Jake, in my body, rushed over and caught me just before my head hit the ground.
"Thanks," I said, but I had Jake's voice. I sighed in relief after I realized that we weren't in the same position that other people are in when they switch bodies in movies. I hate it when they switch bodies but they still have their original voices. It makes no sense at all.
Jake held my hand to keep me balanced as he walked to a wall. I heard a click as the room filled with brightness.
"Power's back on," Jake said with my voice.
"O.k. I think your mom and little sister are still asleep so right now we should learn more about each other and how to act so that way no one gets suspicious," I gripped Jake's hand more tightly to keep from losing balance.
"Okay," Jake sits on the floor taking me down with him, not breaking his grip on our hands.
I let go of his hand and he turned to look at me with a confused face right as I bury my face into his shoulders.
He sighed and said,"I guess I could go first." I nodded and he launched into his life's story. Everything from his father leaving his mother when he was ten years old and later went on to commit suicide to how his mother was a recovered marijuana addict. His little sister is actually the only normal one in the family.
I said,"Well you're pretty normal to me. I don't see what's wrong with you." I start feeling my face, the one that looks like Jake, for imperfections. Then a thought hit me, I'm in Jake's body! I can actually see myself shirtless! Although my face shows no emotion, I am thrilled at the idea. All to soon that thought is pushed from my mind and replaced with a new one when I pull up Jake's sleeve. I can feel Jake in my body turn away as he finds out that I now know his biggest secret.
