CHAPTER ONE

Riley's POV

Ringgg!!!

The alarm screamed and continued screaming. I stood up still feeling sleepy and turned off the alarm. That's weird, I don't remember owning an alarm, Jessica must have put it there as a prank, she's so gonna get it. I dragged my sleepy self to the bathroom, my body felt heavier than usual, that's odd. I entered the bathroom and began to wash my face, hold up! What's this? Why are my hands so rough and hard. I looked into the mirror, saw my reflection and screamed "who the hell is this?" I touched my jaw, it was sharp and broad, my voice was so deep and manly, my skin was reddish, my nose was pointed, my eyes were big and black, my short dark hair was scattered and rough and I had a moustache?

What is going on, why am I so tall? Whose body is this? Whose bathroom is this? Why do I feel so tall? What is happening? Suddenly the door flung open and an elderly woman with all grey hair, deepset eyes with glasses and who was probably in her late sixties stood there looking upset "who are you?" I screamed and her frown deepened "Luke, what is wrong with you, why are you making so much noise this early in the morning?"

"Luke? Who is Luke? Who are you, how did I get here, what do you want with me?" I grabbed a toothbrush and held it out as a defense mechanism. The woman just stood there glaring at me, then she adjusted her glasses and sighed "what's gotten into you this morning? It's too early for these shenanigans. Freshen up and meet me in the living room. Mrs Parker is already waiting for you" with that being said, she left slamming the door behind her. I put down the toothbrush cautiously, slowly opened the door and peeped to be sure she's not in the room anymore and she wasn't. I shut the door and leaned on it "what is going on? Who is that woman and who the hell is Mrs Parker?" my name is Riley so why is that woman calling me Luke, I'm supposed to be a girl so how am I a guy? Well, whatever is going on, I won't find the answer standing here, I need to freshen up just like the old lady said. I walked into the bathroom with disgust. Whoever Luke was, he certainly didn't know how to clean up, just look at how disgusting this place is, the floor hasn't been cleaned in what, years? The walls were brownish black, the toilet is certainly nothing to write about and I'm pretty sure I saw a maggot. I can already feel myself getting the urge to puke. I can't have my bath in here, it's disgusting, I'll have to clean up first.

After looking here and there, I found some tools to clean up with and I got to work immediately.

Luke's POV

I clutched tightly at my chest. What is this? Flesh? I jumped up from the bed and glanced down "is this....BREASTS!??" I screamed and just then, the door swung open and a little girl of not more than five years old, with brown hair, brown eyes with a pair of glasses on walked in. She gave me a questioning look as she saw me clutching my breasts "is this why you always yell at me to knock before entering your room?" she asked and I just stared at her in disbelief "who are you?" I whispered and she gave me a weird look, walked closer to me, jumped on my bed and sat beside me "Jessica, your five year old sister, we've been sisters for like what? Five years. What do you mean who am I?" she asked

"sisters? What do you think I....?" I stopped and looked at my hands, they were so skinny, and I was wearing a nightgown. I jumped down from the bed, my legs were so skinny and I was wobbly on my feet. My eyes were a bit blurry, I took two steps and I tripped on nothing. "aren't you gonna wear your glasses?" Jessica asked and I looked around till I found it on the drawer beside my bed. I wobbled over, picked up the glasses and wore it but it seemed to make everything worse and Jessica laughed at me "what's funny" I asked and she came closer to me, removed the glasses and turned it then placed it on for me. "you had it on upside down" she giggled and I mumbled a 'thank you' then headed for the mirror. I touched my face in disbelief, my face was small and round with miniature features. Small eyes, small and flat nose, tiny mouth and lips, I opened my mouth to view my teeth, also tiny. "how can anyone chew with this?" I asked and Jessica giggled again. I was short and gorgeous to be honest. My beautiful fair skin complemented my red hair and my hazel eyes was outstanding"not bad" I said to myself smiling and admiring myself. I saw Jessica give me a weird look from the mirror. "okay Riley, what's wrong with you this morning?" she asked coming closer to me and standing with her hands crossed. Riley? I've heard that name before but where? I thought to myself. I glanced at my reflection once again, this face looks familiar, very familiar but where have I seen it before. "um... hello? Earth to Riley...."

"stop bothering me Jessica" I shooed her away "I need some space, go to erm... just go somewhere, I need to think." I said and she pouted "mom wanted me to check if you're feeling much better now."

"don't I feel good before?" I asked

"aha! I knew you were pretending to be sick yesterday. You just didn't want to go to school, I'm telling mom right now. Mom!" she yelled and ran out of my room screaming mom as she went. I sighed, that girl is a handful. Now I need to get to the bottom of this, who am I? How did I get in this body and who is this Riley I keep hearing about? I glanced at the study table, they were some books scattered on it, I walked over to the table and picked one up and flipped to the front page and read the name 'Riley Russell'

"Riley Russell? The nerdiest girl in school?" I suddenly felt sick to my stomach. That girl is the most hated girl in the whole school and I'm stuck in her body? Gross

Wait! If I'm her does that mean...? Oh no, she must be stuck in my body too. Double gross. I need to get to my place ASAP. I dashed out of the room still wobbling. "how can anyone walk in such skinny legs?" I asked but nevermind, I was determined to get to my house. I dashed past the hallway quickly and bumped into Jessica and a woman whom I presume to be their mother. Jessica was dragging the woman by the hand towards Riley's room, she stopped when she saw me "look mom, I told you, Riley isn't sick, she lied to you" Jessica said and she smirked when her mother asked "Riley, is this true?" with a stern look on her face

Oh no, I swallowed.
