Jenna's POV

After using the bathroom in a way I absolutely never imagined doing, I washed my hands longer than necessary, almost as if that could erase the whole experience. Then I grabbed Jaden's phone, took a breath to steady myself, and called my own number. It rang twice before he answered, and we immediately began talking.

Both POVs – Starting with Jaden

Jaden's POV

"Alright," I said, rubbing my forehead, "what have you found so far?"

Jenna's POV

"I found nothing," I admitted. "Seriously—nothing. I even Googled 'how to fix not being in your own body' and got literally zero."

Jaden

"That's your solution? A fucking fortune teller? Really, Jenna?"

Jenna

"You got anything better? Because right now, that's the only thing that even slightly makes sense."

Jaden

"Why don't we just tell our parents?"

Jenna

"And say what? 'Hey Mom, I'm a girl in a boy's body, please believe me'? We'd get thrown into twelve different offices before they even let us finish the sentence."

He didn't argue with that.

Jaden

"Fine. Then I guess we try the fortune teller. But what the hell do we even ask them?"

Jenna

"We could ask what they'd do if they suddenly ended up in someone else's body."

Jaden

"Alright. Saturday morning?"

Jenna

"Yes. They close early on Fridays."

Jaden

"We'll be out late anyway—"

Jenna

"Yeah, well, my mom might not care, but your mom might. Morning is easier."

We agreed.

Jaden

"Okay... so tomorrow we just pretend to be each other."

Jenna

"Exactly."

He groaned dramatically.

Jaden

"I don't know how to be you." I don't know how to be a girl

Jenna

"Just survive. That's all you need to do."

Jaden

"Fine. I'll study for the history test at least."

Jenna

"You need to. You're turning it in under my name."

He hated that, I could hear it.

Then he hesitated.

Jaden

"There's something else. Something that made today... weird."

Jenna

"What happened?"

Jaden

"Two guys commented on my—your—body on the way to lunch."
