The next morning my mom woke me up as usual, "Come on wake up Joe."
I grunted, "ughhhh.... wait... why did you call me Joe?" I mumbled. "Andale! Ya get up Jose! You are gonna end up being late!," she pulled the covers off of me. I sat up and rubbed my eyes as I saw her exit the room. Did she just call me Jose?
I shook it off and went to the bathroom. As I was about to pull my pants down I saw that I wasnt wearing the same socks or sweatpants. I was wearing nike socks, and basketball shorts.
What?, I thought to myself. I then turned to the mirror and my mouth dropped open. In the mirror I didnt see myself, I saw someone with side swept short hair, a different shirt, and a completely different face... I saw a boy... a boy that looked like me. I have to admit I was kinda attractive but that wasnt the point. I could move or scream. I just stared wide eyed at the mirror. I touched my chest... it was completely flat and my "lower" area felt really weird. I ran out of the bathroom and into my room only to see my room different too. The sheets were no longer blue, green, and purple, they were blue and white. My desk was no longer purple, it was black. My carpet was no longer pink, it was brown. (My room sounds really girly cause I havent changed it in years) I blinked hoping I was seeing things wrong. I ran out of my room and into my moms room. "Mom!," she looked at me annoyed. "Que te pasa pendejo?!," she was angry that I stormed in yelling. "Mom I'm a boy!," I gestured to my body. She looked confused, "No shit. Now hurry up and go change for school! Your sisters are almost ready!"I sighed and ran back to my room. I grabbed my phone. I realized it was the same phone but the case was different. So was the lock and home screen. I went to my contancts to see that all the names of my friends from school changed.
What the hell is going on?I tried to find Jessica's number. I stumbled upon a contact that read, Jesse. I remembered the names we gave ourselves and called the number. The person who answered sounded like a male, "Hello?."
I asked nervously, "Um... sorry if I got the wrong number but is Jessica there?"
The person on the other line hesitantly said, "umm.. yes... who is this?"
"Well its Jovana"
The person on the phone gasped, "Jovana?! Its Jessica! You sound like a guy! Did the same thing happen to you?!"
I was shocked, "Wait, your a guy too?!"
"Yea! I dont know what happened but my mom and sisters are acting like its normal!"
"So are mine", I sighed, "how are we gonna go to school?"
"I dont know, maybe no one will notice?"
I sighed and we agreed to just go and hope no one says anything.
I then get a message from wattpad, "Joey! Its Kelia! I turned into a guy and my family is calling me Kyle!"
I dont know what's going on but I have a bad feeling...
