"What the hell?" Elena/Me gasped.

"Oh no," I muttered. "This is bad."

"What the hell happened?" Elena asked.

It was strange seeing myself talk to me.

"Some crystals have bad reactions when they are mixed together," I said. It was eerie hearing Elena's voice instead of my own. "In this case it seems that we have swapped bodies."

"How do we swap back?" she asked.

"That is a very good question," I said.

"We have to tell the others and figure something out," she said.

"No!" I said. "Damon will never let me hear the end of this if he finds out."

"Then what do we do?" she asked.

I thought about it for a moment. "We have to go through our regular daily activities, because the others will think something is up if we both ditch school, but I know someone who can help us. We'll go see her this afternoon. In the mean time we tell no one of this, clear?"

She nodded.

"Does this mean I have your powers?" she asked.

I clicked my fingers and a flame appeared in my hand.

"Nope," I said. "I guess magic is connected more to your spirit than your body,"

"Damn," she muttered. "It'd would've been fun using them."

"Okay, so everything will be fine today as long as you act like me," I said.

"How do I do that?" she asked.

"Just be very very sarcastic," I said. "And if Damon says a smart ass comment, don't ignore it like you usually do, say something back."

"Okay," she said. "I can do this,"

I heard a door open and close.

"Stefan's home," I said. "Act casual,"

"Elena?" I heard his voice call.

"Go!" Elena whispered.

I walked downstairs and found Stefan standing at the bottom.

"Hey," he said, pulling me into a hug.

I hugged him back.

This was awkward.

"Ready to go to school?" he asked.

"Yeah," I replied, pasting a smile on my face, when really, all I could think was kill me now, kill me now, kill me now.

 

I didn't realise how many people Elena was friends with. Within the first ten minutes of getting to school, like fifty hundred billion people said hello to me.

The bell rang and Stefan turned to me.

"You okay?" he asked. "You seem a bit out of it this morning,"

"Yeah, I'm fine," I quickly reasured him. "Just tired, that's all."

"Okay," he smiled. "I'll see you at lunch."

I smiled back. And that's when the worst thing possible could've happened.

Stefan leaned down to kiss me.

I acted normal, like Elena would, when his lips touched mine.

He pulled back smiling and turned and walked away.
