It had to be Jessica
Waking up as a 12 year old girl was never on my to do list. Especially since I had already gone through puberty, I didn't want to have to do that all over again. Leaving behind my family and living in a fiction world was never something I wanted to do. I didn't want to fall in love. But it all happened anyway. And this is that story. The day I woke up it started like any other. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and an alarm was blaring Britney Spears in my ears. I woke up, yawned, and stretched before realizing that something was very... Wrong.... (I'm so sorry for the sucky summary. I tried my best.) Chapters will be uploaded every other Monday!Complete
