I couldn't hear my usual alarm today, instead I heard some sounds coming out of the room. It was dark, at least I could remember the shape of my room although I couldn't see it. I moved right remembering the box of jeweleries on my left. Instead, I bumped into something hard enough to break my hips!

" Aww.... " I said as I moved on. The lights were on outside except I didn't see anything that looked like my house! There was a big mirror in the living room, I turned to look at myself......

" Aaaaaashhhhhh!!! " I shouted. " What the.....? "

I didn't see myself, I could just see Lizzy's perfect body in the mirror. I raised my right hand, so did Lizzy's right hand move up! I opened my mouth and Lizzy's mouth opened the exact same way!

" What the.... why do I look like Lizzy? " I asked freaking out.

" Because you ARE Lizzy, smarty pants! " said a small boy passing by.

" W..wh..who.. Are you??! " I asked.

" Lizzy... Are you sick?... I'm your brother... " he said.

" Ya... Right... Remind me of your name again! " I said slowly realising what was happening.

" Lizzy..... Did you finally decide to play with me [ Tell me your name ]? " he said raising his eyebrows.

I looked at him silently, the realised I was holding something...... The box of sweets Miss Flavia gave me.

" Michael.... Time for breakfast! " said a grownups voice.

" Coming dad! " said the small boy.

" Uummmm..... Michael..... Can you pinch me?!.... I mean, I know this sounds crazy, but I'm not Lizzy! " I said.

" Of course you're not! " he said.

I sighed with relief.

" You're BLONDE Lizzy! " he said.

I stared at him " Actually, that's not what I meant! "

" Michael...... BREAKFAST! " shouted his dad.

He ran to see his dad.

" And what is this box of sweets doing in my hand?! " I asked myself.

I moved around in the house slowly realising I was in Lizzy's body AND house!

" Hey, come here sweetheart! " said a guy I presume was supposed to be her dad. So I went to the couch in front of the Tv, where he was sitting.

" ummmm... Good morning?! " I said.

" So... Did you get enough sleep so we can do what we planned to do today?! " he asked me.

I looked at him all startled and not understanding what he meant.

" Ummm... What do you mean? " I asked as he got closer and closer to me.

" What do I mean?! " he said.

" He means the shopping you two will do today! What is UP with you today?! " asked Michael.

" Shopping?! Don't we have school today?! "I asked.

" Ummm... you said you wouldn't mind skipping it today! " he said.

" Ok... so.... ummm.... why won't I do that with mum?! " I asked stylishly trying to play the role.

He stared at me, then looked at the ground. " Ok... Look... I know you really miss your mum, and, I know... That I'm never gonna replace her for you! "he said. Then he held my hands and started making circles in it with his finger. Then he looked up at me:

" I really miss her too, you know. She was a great person! "

Was?! That's when I realised I didn't care enough to know that Lizzy's mum passed away.

" Ok... So, umm, should I go get dressed?! " I asked.

" Ya, make sure you wear something appropriate, we're going to the mall not a disco party! " he said.

I just couldn't believe the entire thing! I mean, me being in Lizzy's body and........... Hold on a second......... So if I'm in Lizzy's body,....then who's in mine?! It should be Lizzy! I need to get to my house now, I mean, I'm sure she'll be the only one who'll believe me!

So I went to Lizzy's room, it was sooo big and amazing! I opened her pink closet and saw all kinds of shirts, pants, skirts, dresses, tank tops..... etc.

I chose a red blouse and black skinny jeans. ( her skinny jeans were actually really skinny!)

After that, I went to Lizzy's dad. " So..... Ummm.... I was thinking we could pass by my friend's house, she said she wanted to talk to me about something important! " I said.

" Sure! " he said " Michael take care of yourself till we get back! " he said as we got into the car.

We stopped in front of my house and I slid into my room. There she was! Or actually.... There I was!

My old body was still sleeping. I walked slowly towards it then I tripped over something and fell on the ground!

My old body started moving then woke up.

" What the.......? " said Linda.

I looked up and stared at my body.

" Ummm... Just a question.... Do you recognise something different?! " I asked

" Other than you being in my room, I don't think so!! " said my old body.

" You mean..... You're not.... Lizzy? " I asked in my Lizzy body.

" Of course I'm not! You are!....... Now get outta my room! " she shouted.

Oh no!!! Then if she really was Linda..... Then...... WHERE IS LIZZY?!

I looked above the closet..... The box of sweets wasn't there! Ya..... It was in my hand this morning!

I got out of the room and into the car.

" Ready to go shopping?! " asked me Lizzy's dad.

" I guess! " I said.

Lizzy's dad offered me to go shopping at the most expensive shops in the mall, I guess he was just trying to replace Lizzy's mum. After we did some shopping he said:

" Are you happy?!I know shopping and looking beautiful reminds you of your mother...... one day you're gonna be just like her! "

Aha...... so that's why Lizzy's such a shopaholic! I shouldn't have judged her without knowing!

I came back home and sat on the bed. I opened the box of sweets and took a purple one.

I looked beside the bed and saw a picture of a person who I assume was Lizzy's mum. Then I looked beside it and saw my back pack. I mean, MY ( Linda ).

I took the picture and put it in my bag.

I closed my eyes and hoped to wake up tomorrow as Linda.
