The Swap

Hang out sometime

I have been texting Marissa for a while and she wanted to meet up. We agreed on meeting up at the mall. I told all the guys about it and they seemed to be chill with it exept for Kyle and Jesse, they looked a bit nervous for me.

  When I arrived at the mall I texted her again:
"Hey where are you?"

She soon replied:
"Im here, I see you just stay where you are"

I did as told and saw Marissa come from around the corner.

I smiled at her, "Hey."

She blushed, "hey." She seemed nervous but I kinda was too. I took a deep breath and tried to sound as much like a boy as I could with still being myself. "So, do you wanna grab something to eat?" I asked.

She smiled, "sure."

We walked to the escalator and the to the food court on the second floor.

We both ordered subway and sat down. We talked about our interest and family. We aslo talked about school and friends.

"So Joe, what do you think of me?" Marissa asked out of the blue.

I was a bit confused but knew what she meant. "What I think of you?" I asked. She nodded.

I looked into her eyes and realized that this was the perfect moment to tell her what every girl needs to hear.

"Well, your beautiful, your an amazing girl, I love your laugh, I really like you, you're perfect, and I wanna hang out more," I said trying to sound like a guy.

Her mouth was open and she was blushing really bad. I smiled at her and she said, "thank you... no guy has ever really said that to me."

I touched her hand, "Well you deserve to be said that to you everyday."

She smiled even bigger and stood up and gave me a hug. I was hesitant at first but I hugged her back.

  I had this strange feeling. Did I like her? But Im a girls mind in a boys body....

I suddenly thought about Shawn and felt nothing for him...
Oh no...

Were our minds being transformed into the minds of guys?

This wasnt so bad but it was just weird.

 

   As Marissa and I continued to walk around holding hands I texteed Kyle and Jesse:
"Guys! I think my mind is turning into a boys! I dont think like a girl anymore! Ive lost interest in Adrian, Volleyball, reality shows, and clothes! I gained interest in Marissa, still have intrest in Basketball, love watching  monster trucks and MTV (still) and dont really have interest in clothes anymore!"

They texted back. Kyle said, "Omg me too!!! "

Jesse said, "That happend to me too! I dont like one direction anymore :'( "

How much longer are we gonna be like this?

Marissa and I were walking around and talking. We were at the icecream shop in the mall when I noticed these guys checking out Marissa. It actually made me feel really uncomfortable... She had curves in the right places and was just really beautiful so I would see why guys would stare at her.

Out of natural instict I put my arm around her and pulled her closer. I kinda mad dogged the guys but they didnt really care. "Hey Marissa, I think we should go," I tried sounding natural but I knew I came off as nervous. She turned to look at me, "Why?"

I ran my hand through my hair, "Just cause..."

She then turned to see the guys looking at her and realized why I wanted to leave. She sighed and looked at me, "Joe, dont worry about other guys ok. I like you."

I had that feeling again, "But it just makes me real uncomfortable when they look at you like that..."

She smiled at me and said, "ok if it makes you feel that uncomfortable than we could leave."

I nodded and we left. We were holding hands the whole time and I actually felt happy.
So Im officially a guy now...

As I was thinking about this, Marissa tightly hugged my arm. I looked down at her to see her looking at these three girls looking at me. I got my arm loose and turned Marissa facing me and held both her hands, "Marissa, dont worry. Im not looking for any other girl but you." She smiled and sighed. I put my arm around her, "who is the jealous one now?"

She laughed, "shut up"

We enjoyed the rest of the day. Marissa took me into clothing stores and tried things on and asked for my opinion. I complimented her every time because she looked amazing in everything anyway.

She was the only one who bought stuff while we were there so I just followed her into the stores.

After the date, before we separated,  we stood outside the mall. Marissa looked at her feet and back at me, "I had a good time"

I smiled back, "me too."

There was an awkward moment of silence.... I think she wanted me to kiss her but I was too nervous to do it. I hugged her and she hugged back while kissing my cheek. She let go and left waving goodbye. I stood there holding my cheek...
