| Chapter 3 Kristin stirred slightly as she began to wake up. A small stab of pain ran through her back as she realized she was sleeping on the ground. How'd I get down here? she thought to herself as she looked around the unfamiliar room. Looking around, she found that she didn't recognize anything in her surroundings. She looked to see who was on the bed above her and noticed a familiar sleeping face. The sleeping form in front of her began to move and she jumped back. Slowly she saw the eyes of her friend's brother open slowly and he began to stretch. He looked up at her and sighed closing his eyes. "Hey, Jace." Jace? Why did Joey call me Jace? What was she doing on Joey's bedroom floor? This was all too weird for her. Kristin stood up and felt a small draft on her chest. She looked down and noticed she had no shirt on. Only, the parts that should be there weren't. Her hands quickly ran themselves down her chest. Her flat chest. Kristin quickly covered herself the best she could with her arms and walked to the bathroom. Kristin lowered her eyes before looking up into the mirror. Slowly she lifted her eyes up. A scream escaped her lips when she saw her reflection. But even her scream wasn't her normal scream. It was deeper than she had ever screamed. But the tone of her scream was the least of her worries at the moment. In the mirror she wasn't looking at her normal 5'5, dirty blonde hair, blue eyes she was used to seeing. Instead, she stood 5'10 with dark hair and dark blue eyes. She wasn't staring in the mirror at Kristin, she was staring in the mirror at JC. She was wearing a pair of drawstring pajama pants and no shirt. Her eyes couldn't help but look over the firm chest that was in front of her. She looked down to make sure that she was really looking into a mirror. It was indeed a mirror that was in front of her. How is this happening? Why am I in JC's body? Oh my God, what's going on?! As she heard the bathroom door open, she suddenly remembered she never locked the door. Looking around for a place to hide, she was disappointed when she found none. The door continued to open and Kristin's panic began to rise. Kristin looked up, the door coming to a complete open position. Staring right back at her was her own blue eyes. "Oh hey," she heard her own voice say to her. Kristin saw her eyes take a double take and widen suddenly. "Wh...what...wa...how...?" Kristin looked herself over carefully. She reached out and placed her hand on her own face as she watched her hand repeat the action to this body she was in. The two stared at one another, for only God knows how long. Finally Kristin spoke. "JC?" she said slowly. She watched at her own face wrinkled in confusion. "Kristin?" she heard herself reply. "Kristin, what's going on? I'm looking at...at me. And you...I'm in your body. What's going on?" "I...I don't know. I woke up on Joey's floor and...Why were you sleeping on Joey's floor? He makes you sleep on the floor?" "Libby let's you sleep on the top bed?" "JC, I don't understand this." "Neither do I. I can't believe Libby let's you sleep on the top instead of the bottom." "Focus, JC?! This is more important than where we sleep. We've somehow switched bodies. We have to figure this out." JC ran his fingers through his hair and was surprised when it was longer than his normal three-inch length. He looked up at Kristin in his body. "Your hair is very soft. It's nice." "JC, this is no time..." Kristin looked at him and smiled. "You think so?" "Yeah. The softest I've ever felt. And I've felt my share of women's hair." Kristin watched as an evil smile came over her own face. "You're such a pig." JC watched his eyes roll. "You're just mad because you know I'm much better looking than you are." "You're so full of yourself. I don't have time to argue with you about this. I have to go to school." Kristin tried to push her way past JC but found her own arms wrapped around JC's waist stopping her from going anywhere. "Excuse me? Where are you going?" "I have to go to school. Some people in this world have to go to school so they can get a hard earned job unlike Daddy's favorite employee who's never lifted a finger in his entire life to get the position that he works at." "Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, Girl with the biggest bug stuck up her ASS, but you're going to be daddy's favorite employee today." "What are you talking about?" JC placed his hands on his shoulders and turned Kristin to the mirror in front of them. They both looked into the mirror and saw Kristin's hands on JC's shoulders holding him in place. "Take a good look at this picture, Kristin. You," he pointed at his body, "are now JC Chasez, son of Roy Chasez, head of a major corporation. You, my stuck up, bratty friend, are the Vice President of this company. You are no longer Kristin. You are not going to your job. You are going to my job. You get to see how hard I really do work." "No," Kristin watched JC's head shake in the reflection. "No, I can't be you. I can't go to your job. JC," she turned to him, "I have things to do today! I have a huge final in about two hours. I have a meeting with my boss tonight that could possibly lead to a promotion. You can't know where I work. I have so many things I have to do that you could never handle." "It looks like you have a bit of a dilemma on your hands. Your life, or should I say, your body, is in my hands." A small smile crept over Kristin's face. "I kinda like the sound of that." JC's hand flew across Kristin's face. Kristin didn't like the feeling of slapping herself, but when a jerk comes your way, what else are you supposed to do? "I swear to God, JC, if you do anything to my body or my life, you won't have all the body parts you left your body with, understand?!" JC winced knowing exactly what she meant. "We don't have to do this, you know? We could help each other. I could do all the things that you had to do today and I can even give you the day off." "What do you mean?" "You could tell me all the things you have to do today and you could take the day off." "Out of the question. I'm not telling you where I work." "Why all the secrecy? Where is it you work anyway?" "Forget it. You're not going to work for me." "All right. Then I'll stay home from your work." "If I call in sick, I'll get fired," Kristin sighed. "Then I suggest you tell me where you work so I can start getting you that promotion." "First tell me how to get out of work today. I could help you a lot better if I don't have to do your job." "What if we're like this forever? What if this isn't just for today? What happens then?" "We can't think about that now. We just have to work on today. Let's worry about forever when it gets here." **************************************************************************************************** "Thanks, Dad. I'll see you tomorrow," Kristin said, trying to keep JC's voice from shaking. For some reason, talking to JC's father made her nervous. After hanging up the phone, she turned to JC. "Well, that's taken care of. Now, you have work in a few hours. I'll take care of the final. You need to take a shower and I'll do my hair for you." Kristin looked herself up and down, her gaze landing on her eyes. She saw the smile on her face. "Maybe we should skip the shower." "Come on, Kristin. We have to trust each other." "JC, we're talking about my body here. We're talking you alone with my naked body." "And same with you. You're going to have to shower too, you know?" "Yeah I know. It's not something I'm looking forward to." "Oh climb off your high horse. You know you'll enjoy it." A smile crossed over JC's handsome face. "You'd like if I admitted that wouldn't you? But just so you know, Hell would freeze over before I would ever say anything that'll make your ego any bigger than it already is." "How can I not have a big ego? If you could see the view I'm looking at," he said a large smile present. JC reached over to his body and fixed a stray piece of hair. "God I'm beautiful." Kristin brushed her hand away from JC's hair. "Will you get off? You're such an egotistical pest!" |
