Swapped

Chapter 4

"Well, let's try and figure this out.", Zayn says to the two girls as the three of them sit on the couch in the living room, everyone else dancing and drinking.  "Any ideas on what could've caused the switch?"  Jade and Jesy sit there, thinking long and hard, and Zayn realizes that they're not getting anywhere.  "Okay, how about this.  What's something that you both did?"

The two think again, furrowing their brows in focus and determination to find the answer to the question.  When it hits them both, their eyes widen and they quickly turn to each other.  "THE DRINK!", they shout in unison.

"What drink?", Zayn asks.

"Oh my GOD!", Jesy says, placing her palms on the top of her head.  "It all makes sense now!"

"Ugh, guys?  Help me out here, I'm a bit lost-"

"That's why it tasted so funny!  Oh gosh, we shouldn't have trusted that old bartender!", Jade adds on, and Zayn continues to sit there in confusion.

"GUYS!", he shouts, trying to get their attention, and it works when they both glance at him.  "What are you guys talking about."

"Okay, well-"

"JADEY COME DANCE WITH ME!", Leigh slurs, pulling Jesy up off the couch before she's able to finish her sentence.  Jade and Zayn watch as Jesy is dragged over to where the mass of people are, Leigh trying to convince her to start dancing with her.

"Wow.  So that's how stupid we look when we drunkenly dance...", Jade says, observing them and laughing at Jesy's glare that she's sending towards the two of them.

"Anyway, please continue.", Zayn says, reffering back to what Jesy was going to say earlier.

"Oh, yeah!", Jade says, remembering what they were talking about.  "Okay, so, last night the four of us gals went out to a club because Leigh persisted.  Anyway, getting to the point, the bartender there offered Jesy and I a drink because we were from Little Mix.  But, he only gave me and Jesy a drink, not Perrie or Leigh-Anne.  We didn't think much of it back then, especially since we were a bit tipsy, and we both drank it.  I remember it tasting weird and like nothing I've ever tasted before...it has to be the drink!  The drink is the cause of the switch!"

"Woah...that's crazy.  What could've been in that drink?"

"I have no cl-"

"Hey guys!", Perrie says, plopping down onto the couch next to Jade, and both she and Zayn groan internally, this being the second time they were interrupted from finding the answer to a very important question.  "By the way you two are talking and sitting next to each other, people are going to start thinking you're the ones in the fake relationship.", she jokes.

"Me and Malik?", Jade asks, pointing between herself and Zayn.  "Please Perrie, I'd rather not puke tonight, but with that repelling idea in my head it's now a possibility.", Jade says, scrunching her face up in disgust.

"I second that.", Zayn says, pretending to be sick.

"Ugh, you two are so immature.  Oh, and Jesy, nice vocabulary.", Perrie says with a wink to Jade.  "Have you been talking to Jade too much?", she continues to joke, and Jade forces a laugh.

Zayn smiles at the two of them, knowing two secrets that they don't.  The first and most important is that Perrie has no clue that 'Jesy' is actually Jade.  The second...well, Jade will figure that one out soon.

Before he can add on a joke to the conversation, he looks over the girls's shoulder and sees Leigh-Anne and Jesy still dancing, Jesy now with a drink in her hand, and it's totally obvious that Leigh has managed to get her drunk.
