Max's POV
All of a sudden, I came back to and I was on a lime colored bed with flowers on it. The walls were painted pink and I started to feel less and less drowsy. Where was I? I sat myself up and I saw an unfamiliar woman with blue, ocean eyes and scolded length brown hair wearing an olive colored shirt
"Oh sweetie, are you alright?" She asked
"HEY!" I yelled "DID YOU KIDNAP ME OR SOMETHING! I WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS! IM READY TO FIGHT YOU!"
"sweetie calm down" said the woman
I couldn't really be mad at her. She looked like she could have saved me. She looked very kind but also overworked
"I'm going to get you some warm milk and toast" said the woman
The woman walked out of the room, closing the door behind her, which had a Hamilton poster on the front door. I don't even like Hamilton. What's going on?
I got out of bed and there was a lot of brown hair in my face, the same color as the woman who was just in this room. The hair was long and it felt like it was attached to me. I tried to yank it off as if it was a wig and it hurt so bad
"Ow!!!!" I yelled
Only, it wasn't a yell, it was a screech. It sounded so high-pitched. I have a deep voice. I started to panic. First I'm in this room with a complete stranger and now my appearance looks different?!
I quickly ran to the mirror in this bedroom and I screamed "AHHHHHHH" in another girly high pitched scream
I did look like myself at all. I had long brown hair up to the middle of my arms and my eyes where HAZEL! I had freckles and I looked like a complete girl. As I studied myself, I looked like someone familiar. Then, I saw a name mural above my bed and it says "Hailey"
THERES A GIRL NAMED HAILEY WHO GOES TO MY SCHOOL! I don't see her much but from what I know, she's shy and lonely and kinda cute. But I look JUST LIKE HER!
I speak like a girl, I look like a girl and my room was girly. Then, the woman came back into the room with toast and warm milk, like she previously said
"Here you go Hailey" said the woman, who I'm assuming is her mom
Then, my so called mom started to feel my forehead. This is really awkward to have another woman touch my forehead like that. Then I started to realize, DID I SWITCH BODIES WITH THIS HAILEY GIRL?!
I smiled at her mom politely and soon, she left the room. I started to eat my toast because I haven't eaten since yesterday afternoon when I had a subway sandwich I found on the sidewalk (when your in a situation where if you don't eat, you die, you get kinda desperate). But when I ate the toast, it already felt like there was food in my stomach. I was hungry but I wasn't starving. It's as if I ate a good breakfast this morning
I quickly got full. My old body would have eaten 10 pieces of toast before being full. I drank some milk and then I went into Hailey's closet. Lucky for me, there was a red coat perfect for this weather
I quickly ran out of the apartment, not even noticing how nice it was
"Where are you going?" Yelled her mom
"I'll be back" I yelled BACK (see what I did there)
I needed to find my old body. I assume that this Hailey girl was in my body. She has a normal life. How is she going to survive the gangsters and the starvation she has yet to face
I ran out of the apartment and I was on this very beautiful yet crowded street. Everything was well kept and there was no garbage smell that filled the streets. It felt safe and inviting. I loved itAnyways, I'm going to go to the subway and take the train to my school and find my body there. I tried to run as fast as I could but my body wouldn't let me run fast. I was out of breath within five seconds
"I'm so exhausted" I had the urge to say
My throat started to close up and I needed water. My side started to hurt. Is this what girls go through? Anyways, I was standing in the middle of the sidewalk out of breath, holding onto my side. But I was able to swallow the saliva in my mouth and use it as water. It's a trick I learned since I don't get to drink that often
Then, I got into the subway and used a ticket that didn't say "Max" on it. This is all too weird. I could tell I was shorter and after walking to the train, my feet started to hurt. I look down and realized that these flats were way too tight
WHY WOULD I WEAR FLATS?!
Long story short, I went in front of my school and waited, hoping Hailey would do the same. I'm starting to be pretty calm and chill out. My body was trying to force myself to be nervous but I was a dude, I'm fine
