Life As Alex - Chapter 3

In the morning, I woke up a little disoriented a bit. But I remembered what happened. I still can't believe it. Me? The most boring, ordinary girl, switching lives with THE Allie Starr? No way. As I was thinking, a stranger walked in.

"Hey!" She squealed, running to hug me. She looked my- or, Allie's - age. Very pretty, too!

"Um." I stammered. "Hi."

"So, you can finally leave now, and I'm taking you to Starbucks!"

"Listen, um..."

"Oh no." She shook me. "You DO remember me, Allie Starr?! Your best friend? Megan?!"

I explained everything and she backed away, in shock. "Where is she?"

"Um. She's, uh, dead."

"WHAT?" She screamed.

"I'm sorry, but that's what they said. I don't know anymore than you do." I shot a small smile.

"So...wait, you look just like her. And that's because YOUR brain is in HER body?"

I sighed. "Yeah. Look, I'm sorry your friend...passed. I didn't ask to be in her body. But what do we do now? People are going to think she's, like, a ghost."

She thought for a minute. "We'll just say she was miraculously revived with those stunner things." She shrugged.

"Not bad." I smiled at her. "I hope we can be friends. You might hate me, though."

"Why would I hate you?" She looked genuinley shocked.

"Because I took over your best friend."

She shook her head. "It's not anyone's fault, Allie. Er-"

"Alex." I said.

"Alex, it's nobody's fault, okay? Maybe we'll be even better friends than me and Allie were." She hugged me. "Now, I signed you out, so let's get out of here, shall we?"

Taking her hand, we walked out into the sun. "What now?" I asked.

"I'll take you to my house. BTW, my dad is a movie director, so my house doesn't shock you." She laughed.

"Okay."


Her house was, like, a castle. It was HUGE. My jaw dropped as she gave me the tour.

"Well, I'll call Brady."

"Who's Brady?" I wondered.

"My best guy friend. You'll love him, don't worry. But, I have to warn you. He always had a crush on Allie."

"He DOES now I'm not her, right?"

"Um, we'll tell him when he gets here." She looked apologetic.

"Okay, that's fine."


When Brady was here, Megan sat him down in a bean bag chair and we started to talk. And may I say, he was hot? Okay. Anyway, after telling the story, he just sat there.

"But Allie." He said.

"She's Allie now." Megan pointed to me.

I shook my head. "No, I may LOOK like her, but I'm Alex."
