Just How Fast The Night Changes

“Beep, beep ,beep” I groggily reached to hit the snooze button on my alarm clock, but I just swiped at thin air. Finally sitting up and looking around to turn it off I realized that I didn’t recognize the alarm clock.

Where my pink vintage clock should have been there was a digital one. The sheets felt unfamiliar and foreign.

Those were definitely not my sheets. I rubbed my eyes and hoped that I was just seeing things. I took a deep breath and when I opened my eyes again and took in the room.

The walls were painted a dark navy with maroon curtains preventing light from coming in and there were clothes strewn across the bedroom floor.

But they were definitely not my clothes. I slowly laid back down into the alien bed, closed my eyes and tried to go back to sleep because this was by far the strangest dream I've had yet.

Greatfuly I was able to drift off but far too soon my alarm clock went off. I sat back up but the only thing that changed was the time on the clock.

Jumping out of bed, literally jumping I ran to the closest door fully awake. I yanked it open finding it to be the bathroom.

It was small but contained all the necessities, like the shower and toilet (whose seat was up) and a sink. I cautiously peered into the mirror and let out a masculine shriek when the reflection was not me but, Niall?

This has to be a dream, I looked around on the counter sink to find something to pinch or stab me with, there was a half eaten bowl of macaroni with a crusty fork still in it leaning against the faucet handle.

GROSS!!! I picked it up with my thumb and index finger and held it out so that it dangled in front of me.

I set my opposite hand on the counter, squeezed my eyes shut, counted to three.

Oneee..

Twooooo....

Three!

I took the fork and brought it down onto my, or should I say Niall's hand. I screamed in pain and dropped the fork, nothing happened, I didn't wake up from this nightmare.

There was a loud bangging on the bedroom door.
“Hurry up Niall, you’re going to be late for school” a feminine voice yelled. How do I respond to that?

I figured I might as well play along with this twisted dream.

“Okay be there in a second” I yelled back. I went back into the bedroom and looked for something to wear.

I had no idea what was clean and what was dirty so I did the only thing I knew to do. I started picking them up and smelling them. Once I found a shirt and pair of shorts that seemed clean I started to change.

I wasnt until I was about to put on shorts that I realized how awkward this would be. I was in a males body and had no intention of actually seeing it.
I figured since it was just a dream that it would be okay so without thinking too heavily I pulled down the plaid pajama pants and quickly and replaced it with the ones i had just found on the ground.

It wasn’t until I was done that I realized that I was holding my breath. I heard my phone go off that was sitting on the night stand.

I picked it up and looked at who was calling, it wasn’t a contact his phone but I soon recognized it to be my number! I clicked the “accept” button and held it to my ear.

“Alice?!”I heard a very panicked person that sounded like me ask.
“Niall?!” I replied back. It finally clicked.
“Are you at my house and do you look like me?”

After this unsettling discovery we made plans to meet in the the bleachers at the football field and talk this over in person.

I hung up the phone and ran down the stairs where what I assume to be Niall’s mom was standing by the door ready to leave. We got in the car and started to drive to school.

I tried to act ‘normal’ what ever that even was.
“Did you study enough for your history test last night?” his mom asked me.
“Um ya, I’m going to ace the test don’t worry I know it like the back of my hand” I lied.

I really had no idea what test she was even talking about.

Niall’s house was actually very close to my house we lived in the same neighborhood, which is a good thing considering our situation.

I arrived at school and made my way to the football field and started to climb the beachers. I sat there and waited for Niall or should I say Alice to arrive.



WE DIDNT HAVE SCHOOL TODAY BECAUSE THE ROADS WERE ICY WHICH LIKE NEVER HAPPENS. SO HOW WAS THIS?
