I open up my laptop and log into Twitter, Caroline has Been tweeting about global warming, and giving her opinion on it. I laugh, she really does love getting her statement out there, she said when she's older she wants to become some lawyer, or politician. I believe she would be great at it.
*bleep*
I look at the screen in a puzzled way, the.exchanger@talk.com Has sent you a email.
I click on the screen cautiously .
Tilly,
You want more.
You want the big room?
Do as I say, and you'll get it.

What? How did the 'exchanger' even know my email? And know what I want? I bite my lip, it's what I do whenever I'm nervous. I want the big room. I really want the big room. Okay Tilly, stay calm.
Exchanger,
Who R u?
And what do u want for the big room?
-Tilly
As soon as I'd taken my finger off the mouse there's an instant bleep back, to scared to look I open the email. One eye open, one eye closed.
Tilly,
No need to be rude.
I'm here to help you.
Now exchange me with the grades of your sisters exams.
You'll get the big room.

Exchanger,
What do you mean?

Tilly,
Email your parents fake exam results, use exam2016offical@talk.com.
Give Jessica an F.
An F in everything.
This is an easy exchange.
But just this time.
Do this and your parents will give you the big room.

Exchanger,
I could never do that to Jessica.
She's been studying months for these exams.
I could never go and ruin that!
•••••
Tilly,
You can kiss that room goodbye then.
Trust me, I know what's best for you.

I sit back in my chair. Is this actually happening? It's a chance in a lifetime. This doesn't happen to girls like me. And this exchanger, I could exchange anything with it. I could finally stand out, I could...stop being invisible.
