Note: This was written when I was 13. It is very much a product of my little tween mind at the time. Please approach with caution. *** Shay Barron is not afraid to be herself, or to be criticized for it. When she meets Forrest Rivers, he realizes that the hard way: She steals his milk. Forrest falls for Shay, surprising even himself. But Shay is already taken, by Westley Harrigan, who might just be the worst boyfriend ever. No one who knows them can figure out why they're still together. Westley and Shay's relationship takes a turn for the worse. Although Maddie and Jasmine didn't know what occurred, they take Shay out for a Girl's Night. Something goes terribly wrong, and Shay wakes up in the body of another girl--Serena Magnus. Shay's logic is that if she's in Serena's body, Serena must be in Shay's body. But where is Shay's body? Will Shay --or Serena-- ever be able to go back to normal? But a shocking discovery changes everything, and both Shay and Serena's lives may never be the same.

"Alright," Max murmured. "I'm starting. Harrington. Discuss." Will made a happy, breathy sound. "Oh my God," he whispered. "Steve is so...." "So what?" Max pressed, already laughing. "Come on, out with it!" Will sighed. "So, so dreamy." Lucas's shoulder bumped Mike's. Max snorted, pleased. "Thank you!" Will kept going, words spilling out now that he'd started. "It's the hair and that stupid jacket." He laughed, then dropped his voice. "Also, he's got huge hands." Mike scowled. Lucas' shoulders shook beside him, silent laughter vibrating the floor. He leaned in and whispered, "Huge hands, huh." Mike hissed, "Shut up." Max, meanwhile, sounded delighted. "He totally does. Also, I saw him a few years ago with his shirt off and, oh my God!" Mike side-eyed Lucas. From the face he was making, it looked like he didn't think the situation was so funny anymore. Hmph. *** After Stacey's party, the gang ends up at the Wheeler house for an unplanned sleepover. Mike and Lucas eavesdrop on Max and Will's "girl talk" and stumble into a confession Mike was never meant to hear.
