The alarm went off. Alex groaned and reached for the alarm with hooded eyes. She made herself comfortable and was about to drift off to sleep again when she sensed something different.
The smell. Her sheets smell weird. Alex rubbed her eyes and stood up from the bed. To wake herself up , she then proceeded to the bathroom but can't find any bathroom in her room where it usually is.
Alex blinked twice before realizing that she's not in her room! Her eyes widened and she started to panic. She looked around the room. Everything was in its own place surprisingly. The room had a vibe she can't explain with it but she didn't stay any longer to find out this vibe.She dashed out the room and was immedietly face to face with a half naked boy probably five years younger than her.
"Hey you're up idiot. Come on , I cooked breakfast."He said with a small smile.
Alex looked at him frustrated , not knowing what was going on. She said nothing and continued to stare at him. "Something wrong?" he asked.
"Uhhh--no. Nothing's wrong."Alex covered her mouth. She sounded like a man. She looked at her hands and started to touch her face.
"Okay.? I'll just leave you now." The boy said weirded out by her actions. How is this happening? , she thought to herself.
Alex followed the boy where he went and asked where the bathroom is. Frustration flushed the boy's voice as he answered her. She thanked him and raced to the bathroom.
Alex almost screamed when she looked at herself in the mirror. She knew she was still sane but couldn't believe what she was seeing. She was still Alex , she was still a woman and yet a man stared back at her in the mirror.
Splashing her face with cold water did nothing. Was she hallucinating? Dreaming? She didn't know. Her back against the door , she sat down and hugged her lap. If this is a dream , Alex wished she could wake up. Five minutes has passed. Then ten. Then fifteen before a knock was heard from the door.
"Hey dude , you've been in there for a long time now. We're gonna be late for school. " She leaned her head back ,banging it softly on the door.
"Anyways ,there is some chic calling you on your phone. She says it's important." She stood up , knowing immedietly than she was the one calling. Opening the door , she snatched the phone that the boy was holding and put it near her ear.
"Hello?"She started.
"Is this suppose to be me?" the person on the other line said.
"Yes!" Alex said in delight. "Why has this happened to us?"she continued.
"It probably has something to do with that thing that happened the other day."She heard him say. Thing? Of course , that shock that was felt! Only now she came to realize that she was the hottish cute guy she encountered.
"Listen , I'll meet you after school there okay? But for now you've got to go to school. We don't know how this happened to us but remember to act natural.Understand?"
"Yeah okay."
"And by the way.... What school are you in?"
"East High."She replied.
"Mhm. And you're probably wondering who that idiot kid with you is. He's my younger brother , Nick.."he said before he hung up.
Behind her , she heard a confused voice."Luke , what the hell is going on?"
"We'll explain later when your big brother comes. For now , we need to go!"Alex said , racing to Luke's room.
"What? But you are my big brother!" Alex ignored him and opened the closet. She decided to change the tshirt she was wearing and the shorts because taking a shower is definitely not an option. Changing into some blue faded jeans and gray shirt , she got his bag and put on his shoes.
Though her self didn't know if this was real or not , she still managed to remain calm at the moment.
Nick's head popped in the door. "What exactly is happening?"Alex looked up and met his gaze. "I don't even know Nick. All I know is that I am not your brother alright? Now would we please go to school now to get this over with?"
They both went to school after that. In school , Alex began to get worried. She didn't know anything about Luke. His friends , the name of his teachers , his attitude , even his last name , completely nothing!
Alex was grateful that Nick accompanied her . If not she would be lost . He didn't question why she was asking the location of the classroom where she's supposed to be.
She sat at the backmost part of the class and she was thankful for that. Nobody still noticed anything weird or suspicious from her actions. Though it was kind of difficult to keep her head down since Luke was the friendly guy kind of type which made everybody like him and notice him whenever he walked the hallways. The weather outside was absolutely great. The sun was way up in the sky, its sunlight entering the room and piercing her skin softly with heat. Absent-minded was she when the teacher called her name. At least for now.
"Mr. Hudson."The teacher in her late forties said. Alex continued to look outside the window while tapping her pen on the desk.
"Mr. Hudson!" Her tone rose and everyone stared at her. Within a couple of seconds , Alex noticed something odd and broke her gaze from the outside. Only then , did she see the raging teacher and the owl like students.
"Mr. Hudson , you come to school to learn not to not pay attention!"
"You talkin to me?" Alex said to certify things.
"Yes!"She slammed her hand on the table. Her eyes full of rage. Alex was in deep trouble. Though , part of her mind was thinking if Luke is actually a misbehaving student or not.
****
Luke didn't know the woman he is right now. He doesn't know if this was scientifically possible. Well , he didn't have any problem at her house since her mom left early and her dad was nowhere to be seen. At school , he kept his head down and stayed away from everyone who tried to talk to him and gladly was successful.Currently sitting on a chair with the teacher lecturing the class , he wore earphones. He couldn't help but smile at her horrible choice of music.
Other periods went by and he didn't have any problem so far. That is until lunch came. When he sat alone at a table , two unidentified females came up to seat with him. These are probably her friends , he thought.
"So Alex , about what happened yesterday I wanted to thank you." The redhair said , sincerity gleaming in her eyes.
"Your welcome." He didn't know why he was saying welcome. "You were right about him. About the feelings he felt for me. Thanks for opening my eyes."
It clicked. Alex must've helped her deal with a man and so he played with it. "Don't mention it. I always told you that he liked you."
"What?" The girl with black hair said. "Dudette you just helped her break up with him yesterday." Luke scratched the back of his head.
"Yeah well..."
"Oh. Nice pajamas by the way."she added. Luke faked a laugh. He didn't want to change or take a bath since that would be disrespectful so he figured he'd just maintain.
Out of nowhere , a man sat beside him with a smug smile. Luke didn't know what to do. The way he dressed and the way he looked at him just now tells something. Who the heck is he?
"Hey."He smiled and leaned forward. He knew he was going to kiss him. That , he doesn't want to happen so he did the most approriate thing he could think of the moment.
He punched him. Hard.
