Swap with me cuz

Being Flynn Austin

Isa and Flynn sat in Flynn's room, surrounded by clothes, accessories, and various grooming tools. Flynn began to explain the intricacies of his daily life.

"Okay, so first things first, we need to get you looking like me," Flynn said, holding up a pair of boyish clothes.

Isa raised an eyebrow. "You want me to wear that?"

Flynn nodded. "Trust me, it's essential, you are being me remember? Now, let's talk about my schedule. I've got school, cricket practice, and matches. You'll need to learn my cricket moves and pretend to be me during games."

Isa's eyes widened. "Cricket? I've never played cricket in my life!"

Flynn chuckled. "Don't worry, I'll teach you the basics. Just remember, you're 'Flynn' now, so act confident and charming."

As Flynn continued to explain the details of his life, Isa listened intently, trying to absorb every bit of information.

Next, Flynn handed Isa a folder filled with notes, schedules, and important contacts. "This is your new life, Isa. Study it, memorize it, and become me."

Isa took a deep breath, feeling a mix of excitement and nerves. She was about to embark on the most challenging adventure of her life..........

Isa stood outside the school gates, her heart racing with anticipation. She took a deep breath, reminding herself that she was now "Flynn."

Flynn's phone, which Isa now carried, buzzed with a text from an unknown number. "Hey, Flynn! What's up? See you at cricket practice!"

Isa's eyes widened as she realized she had no idea who this person was or what cricket practice was like. She quickly typed out a response, trying to sound casual. "Hey! Yeah, see you at practice."

As she walked through the school gates, Isa felt a mix of nerves and excitement. She had never been to a co-ed school before, and everything felt overwhelming.

She spotted a group of students gathered near the lockers, chatting and laughing. Isa recognized one of them as Carmen, the cheerleader Flynn had mentioned.

Isa's heart skipped a beat as she caught Carmen's eye. Lee smiled, and Isa felt her face heat up. She quickly looked away, reminding herself to stay in character.

Isa trudged through the school hallways, trying to get used to the chaos. As Flynn, she was suddenly part of a different social circle, and everything felt overwhelming.

At lunchtime, Isa sat with Flynn's friends, trying to blend in. But as they talked about their weekend escapades, Isa's annoyance grew. They were all so reckless and immature!

One of Flynn's friends, a burly guy named Jake, boasted about how he had skipped class to play video games. Isa's eyes rolled involuntarily, and she bit back a retort.

After lunch, Isa headed to the cricket field for practice. As she changed into her cricket gear, she felt a wave of exhaustion wash over her. This was all so much to handle!

During practice, Isa struggled to keep up. She was hot, sweaty, and frustrated. After a particularly grueling drill, she excused herself to take a break.

As she sat on the sidelines, sipping water and catching her breath, Isa noticed a girl watching her from across the field. The girl had long, curly brown hair and bright, sparkling eyes. She was smiling at Isa, and Isa felt her heart skip a beat.

The girl began to walk towards her, and Isa's nerves kicked in. Who was this girl, and why was she approaching her?

As the girl drew closer, Isa saw that she was even more beautiful up close. She had a warm, friendly smile, and her eyes crinkled at the corners.

"Hey, Flynn," the girl said, her voice husky and confident. "I'm Carmen. I've seen you around school, but we've never really talked."

Isa's heart was racing now. She tried to play it cool, but she could feel her face heating up.

"Hey," Isa replied, trying to sound casual. "Yeah, I've seen you around too."

Carmen smiled again, and Isa felt her knees go weak. She was in trouble.

Carmen sat down beside Isa on the sidelines, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "So, Flynn, what's your story? You're always so quiet in class, but you seem really talented on the cricket field."

Isa's heart skipped a beat as she tried to think of a response. She didn't want to reveal too much about her true identity, but she also didn't want to seem suspiciously evasive.

"I'm just a quiet guy, I guess," Isa replied, trying to sound casual. "I like to focus on my game."

Carmen let out a giggle. "Really, you usually like being all over though."

Isa chuckles as well. "I think it's safe to say, I grew up a little."

As they chatted, Isa found herself feeling more and more at ease around Carmen. She was easy to talk to, and Isa appreciated her friendly and outgoing personality.

But as the conversation went on, Isa couldn't shake the feeling that she was living a lie. She was pretending to be someone she wasn't, and it felt wrong.

                                                                          ...............

Isa walked into Flynn's room, flopping down onto the bed. "Hey, cuz, you won't believe what happened today."

Flynn looked up from his phone, raising an eyebrow. "Try me."

Isa launched into a detailed account of her day, from navigating the school hallways to her conversation with Carmen. Flynn listened intently, chuckling at Isa's impressions of his friends.

When Isa finished, Flynn grinned. "Sounds like you're a natural."

Isa smiled back, but then her expression turned serious. "Flynn, I have to say, cricket is a big deal for you, isn't it?"

Flynn's grin faltered, and he nodded. "Yeah, it's huge. I've been playing since I was a kid."

Isa thought for a moment before speaking up. "I have an idea. What if, during crucial games, we exchange roles? You can be yourself, and I'll... well, I'll be me."

Flynn's eyes widened in surprise. "You'd do that for me?"

Isa nodded. "Of course, cuz. I want to help you succeed."

Flynn's face broke into a wide smile. "Thanks, Isa. You're the best."
