Life As Alex - Chapter 2
OMG guys, I love you! I'm so happy! 10 notifications in like 10 minutes!!! I'll write 2 chapters!


I was walking along the beach, the sand falling beneath my feet. The water was crystal clear, and there were beautiful seashells scattered along the warm sand. I picked up a konch shell and looked in it. It was so pretty! I dropped it and kept walking, forever, it was never ending...

"She's up!" Someone shouted. It felt like they were using a megaphone in my ear. I couldn't open my eyes. What was happening? Where am I? I thought I was on the beach?

"Oh, Alex!" Someone cried. I tried, but I couldn't move my body. I could only hear. I wanted desperately to look around, to know what the hell was happening. Finally, my eyes opened. My mom and my sister were sitting next to me. I was in a hospital bed.

"What happened?" I asked groggily.

"Honey, a TV fell on you, remember?" My mother sounded happy to see me awake.

"No. What are you talking about? I was on the beach!"

My mom exchanged a glace with the doctor. Well, I think it was the doctor, he had scrubs on.

"It's perfectly normal for her to be disoriented." He assured my mom. She still didn't look assured. 

He gave a sympathetic smile and walked out to get me some food.

"Honey, do you remember anything?" She looked frantic.

"Um. I know you're my mom, and I know she's my sister, Cassie." I pointed to my sleeping sister. "And I know my name is Alex. That's all." I didn't mention that I didn't even remember what I looked like.

She looked relieved I at least knew my family.

The doctor came back in, placing mashed potatoes at my face. I cringed. "No thanks."

"Honey, you have to eat." My mom repremanded. I reluctantly took little bites.

The doctor looked nervous. He beckoned my mom into the hall, and I was left to eat my bland mashed potatoes alone.


My mom came in, looking nervous. "Alex?"

"Yeah?" I was scared now.  

The doctor grabbed my hand gently. "Honey, the only way you can survive is to have special surgery."

I looked to my mom. She must have read the questions on my face. "Tell her what it is."

He hesitated. "Well, the surgery is going to involve us putting your brain in someone else's body."

I think I fell off the bed, I don't really remember. I looked at my mom, looking wildly for some hint of a joke. But nothing, she looked devestated.

"You mean, like...a-a clone?"

"Not exactly." The doctor explained. "The body your brain will be put into is Allie Starr's."

Allie Starr? She was a supermodel. A 16 year old SUPER MODEL. SUPER. MODEL.

"This isn't happening." I simply told him.

"I'm sorry, honey, but it is." My mom patted my hand. "But you'll still be Alex." She smiled a tiny smile.

But I wouldn't be in my body. People would think I was a dead super model. This should be fun, right?


Once again, I woke up loopy in a hospital bed. Only this time, my hands weren't my hands. They were perfect. Kind of like Allie Starr's. Then I remembered. My new life. Will I keep my name? Or will I pretend to be Allie?

"It worked!" My mom cried, hugging me.

"Mom. can't. breathe." I struggled.

"Sorry." She wiped her nose. "But my baby is okay!"

"Um, if you haven't noticed I'm in a famous person's body, Mom."

"Yes, but you're still you."

I shrugged. The doctor came in, my mom signed stuff, and then my mom left. I had to stay one more night.
