Invertation

Chapter 5- The Invert

     I woke up in the morning with the sun flashing in my window like a bright calming morning that gives me the sensation of Deja Vú. I was thinking about what Danielle said to me in my Dream World last night. Then, I knew what she was talking about when I saw my self in the mirror. I looked like Danielle! I switched my gender somehow to a female. My hair was somewhat long, but not too long, I still had my red eye, but... I was Danielle somehow.
   I ran downstairs to my Mom. She was frightened and panicked. She was close to passing out. We got to the hospital to talk with my Doctor. We had a long conversation and still, I chose to go to school and as always, the Doctor contacted some people and contacted my school about this.
   I guess I will be a new student named Danielle as the role of my 'other sister.' Not my older one. I'll be myself like having the same traits I have as Dan. My voice changed to some kind of teenage girl voice which I'm fine with and my homework, assignments and grade will just count as mine since teachers will know it's me, but will try to keep it low key of me. I went over to Caroline's house who lives with our Grandma. She helps Grandma out which is so sweet of Carey. Carey helped me learn how to be a girl, act like one, and know what it's like being a girl while at the house. The things they are into and what they like. I followed her teachings and kept being the same old me. I'm Dan and Danielle combined, but as a girl. This seems strange, odd, and feels different... but at least alive.
   Me and Carey hung out at the park near her house. She told me that she will be right back since someone was calling her. She sat down by the picnic tables and I started parkouring around. I didn't want to worry too much about beauty that much, but looks don't really matter. I decided to be a Tomboy since I like playing and getting messy a little. I was parkouring for a while and when I was on the swings, there was this boy who looked to be a teen sat next to me on the swings. Being a girl and my teachings, he looked really handsome, but being who I am, he would look handsome without even if I was Dan.
   I entered my Imagination. He was just a fellow traveler who wanted a home or a friend and I was the answer to his wish that he would get. "Hey baby, is it hot out? Is it me? Or maybe it's someone near me.." He said to me. Knowing he was flirting with me, I said, "Mm I wonder, is it me or doesn't this park look better with someone here?" "Yeah, you." He said to me. I was blushing. I looked behind me seeing Queen Carey talking to her guards on her telephone. I looked back at the boy who just stared at me strangely. I asked what his name was. "The name's Simon." He said. As I could tell, he was about an age older than me. Curious to what Simon's purpose is towards me. Was he just bored? Friendly like me? Or did he fall in love with me first sight? I didn't really think he would though.
   I then received a scroll on my telephone. It read, "Hey, I see you over there with that boy, remember what I taught you, I'm gonna walk over to a friend's house cause I gota do something, don't worry, I'll be back in a bit. I'll be only a block away." I then saw the Queen leaving her castle and it was just me and Simon. I texted back on the scroll that I will be safe and I love her. Me and Simon were talking on the swings, we moved to the playground and we played tag. Simon was pretty fast but I was faster. At one point, I felt his hand touch my butt. "Hey!" I shouted at him. "Oh! Sorry! I didn't mean to touch you there. I started having concerns about Simon. He asked what was on my arm and why I had a red eye. I told him not to worry about it and that I'm fine.
   I exited my imagination so I could reconnect to life. We then walked around on this path that goes around the park and we talked more and learning more about each other. We got back to the playground and since nothing was happening, I decided to get on my phone to show him some memes I find interesting and funny. When I was scrolling through my photos, I could feel a strange vibe coming from Simon. I looked at him and he was staring at at me with a creepy look. I noticed his arm was near my butt. I was disturbed and I moved away and he moved back a bit. "Oh... I... I'm sorry.. about that.. didn't notice I was.. heh.." Simon said. I was quite mad at him, thinks he can be a pervert to me the first time we met. "Sorry, but I gota go." I said and turned around and saw Carey walking over to the park.
   I fast walked over to her. "Hey Danieelle... How di-" "Let's go." I said furiously. On the walk home, I told Carey about the situation that had happened. My Body was filled with shivers and the creeps of creepy pastas. I wanted to bash his head onto the pole on the spot and destroy his bloodline, but I couldn't. I was too nice. I came back home and I decided to take a walk around the block. I noticed that most of my friends and neighbors were looking at me as if I was the new kid on the block, cause I was a different person but the same personality was still in me. With spring break over, going back to school isn't gonna be that easy.
   I left my other stuff back home and I had new materials, new seats, new locker, and hopefully new friends. I wore a yellow bandanna to cover my eye although my hair would work, but my hair might move and reveal the eye. Zero period went great, some people in there greeted and welcomed me. Only a few people asked why I wore a bandanna and an arm band as I reply saying, "I wear them for fashion, but I don't really care much for beauty tho." I realized that I would have to deal with this until the effects of Invertation wears off.
   The name Danielle has been becoming more and more popular through out the day like the original me. At lunch, I decided to sit by myself instead of the group I sit with. Thats when a few girls invited me to sit with them. I accepted and decided to sit with them. They asked a lot of questions about me. Having to lie sometimes, I've became really good friends with them. I was already friends with most of them, but the rest were girls I've never met.
   4th period came along and when I took my seat, These two girls who likes me a lot as a friend as Dan came over and greeted me and we started a short conversation. Class started and once we started working on our assignment, they began to ask questions and I basically repeated the same answers as previously.
   5th period rolled in like a barrel. At the beginning of the class before the bell rang, Mrs Mueller was talking to me in the small room about how she can handle this situation and to not worry which made me feel better about myself. We were working on realistic portraits where we draw ourselves very realistically with value scales, shading, and with craftsmanship. I actually took my picture of the Dan me before spring break so she could print them out. I got my picture taken again and she printed it out. I whispered to Mrs Mueller if I could do half of me on one side and the other half of me of the other. Half girl, half boy. I would draw a smooth wavy line and I would draw the current me on the left and then make me on the right. It's the best idea and Mrs Mueller is fascinated with the idea.
   I was thinking someday soon to exposing my self to who I really am. Band came along and many people greeted me to band. I could tell the other percussionist were looking at me and wondering about me. They were very concerned about me but I didn't mind. While the others where practicing, I decided to sit out. Time went by, watching the hand go around like the race cars on the race track. Then, the school bell rang. School was over for the day. On the walk to the main campus, I understood what she said to me in my Dream World but I can't make it out in words.
   I got onto the bus at the main campus. The others got on and they noticed me. "Yoo gurl.. who are you?" Preston asked me. "I'm Danielle.." I replied. "Bro, you look like this one other boy named Dan." Gabe said to me in his gangster voice. Gabe is one of those white, but tries to be black kid. "Haha she does look like Dan with that black armband and the bandana on her, haha." Malzem commented on me which I didn't appreciate as he is rude to me and a lot of other people. Gabe, Preston and Malzem are quite disrespectful. "Guys! Don't be rude to her. Here, you can sit next to us." Bree said to me. I sat next to Bree, and Aniya sat on the seat next to us. They started asking questions and I actually felt good about it. The boys asked a few questions too, but they were rude questions. "Don't listen to them, they're rude and disrespectful." Bree said to me. We made a cool handshake and she recorded it and she posted it to her story on Snapchat.
   She asked me a few questions about who I am. I told her I'm Dan's twin. She said that Dan has never mentioned about a twin or seen a twin at school. I told her not to worry about any of that. Aniya had to get off, but me and Bree kept talking. We then listened to music. Then, a song that I knew was on next. The song Believer by Imagine Dragons was on and without realization, I was singing with a really nice voice. Everyone on the bus started staring at me, but I couldn't tell until Bree started looking at me and I stopped singing. My voice originally is good itself. "Oh.. my god Danielle.. That sounded amazing!" She said to me. Some of the people on the bus applauded for me. Bree had to get off afterwards and I got off at my stop. At the Doctor's, I told him how my day went which went ok. I had to deal with this in school for the entire week.
   With questions decreasing and popularity increasing, I've been feeling different everyday ever since, feeling Inverted within my internal and external body, life is becoming stranger than is should be, but life has always been the strangest and will always be the strangest.
