Chapter 3- Forgive and Forget

NINA'S POV (Patricia's body)

I walked down the stairs, thinking.

Since Fabian was in Alfie's body and Alfie and Fabian's.

Adding to the fact that Patricia is in mine and I'm in hers. I stopped on the stairs, causing Alfie, (Fabian's body) to run into me.

I was about fell down the stairs, but Fabian- Alfie caught me around the waist.

We connected eyes for the shortest moment till I broke away. I had to act like the mean, Gothic, fat cow that Patricia was. Perfect.

I marched down the steps as if I owned the place.

Patricia was doing flirty gestures to Alfie shook my head, I would never do that.

I walked into the living room, grabbed a magazine on the coffee table, flopped myself on the couch, kicked my feet up onto it, and started flicking through the magazine; staring at the words till they blurred and made my head pound.

Anything to distract myself.

PATRICIA'S POV (Nina Body)

I started making flirty gestures to the Alfie, some in which I've seen Nina do self-consciously to the real Fabian.

Nina shook her head, actually playing myself pretty well.

All except the nice part. She's going to ruin my mean-awesome-Gothic-yet-nice-in-a-way- rep.

Then I'll hit her. Or well, hit her when she's herself… Not that she isn't herself, just when she's… Aw, forget it, I'm giving myself a freaking big headache. I continued pretending to be Nina, which was really, really, easy.

I just hated having to be all girlie and nice to everyone, all the time.

Trudy came in, and told Nina she had a call. Nina didn't answer, and I realized she was talking to me.

"Oh, sorry, Trudy. I was just distracted."

"It's okay, sweetie. Right this way," Trudy told me as she lead me to the phone.

I grabbed the phone feeling like I was about to puke.

After putting the phone to my ear I asked, "Hello?"

"Hello, darling. Who are you?"

I froze up. I didn't know what to say.

Nina came beside me whispering in my ear, "Say I'm fine Gran, I miss you so much."

I repeated her words into the receiver.

"That's great to hear, I was so worried about you."

"Tell her that you really like it here, but you wish you could see her again," Nina whispered so her Gran couldn't hear.

"I really like it here, but I wish I could see you again Gran," I pretended to be Nina, but it was hard being so sweet. I was going to be sick.

"I just wanted to check up on you Nina, and remember, when you don't feel like yourself, share love with those around."

"I love you Gran," I told Nina's Gran.

"I love you too Honey, bye."

I hung up and turned to Nina, "What do you think that means?"

She frowned, "I don't know. We should tell Fabi-Alfie I mean."

I turned, behind us was Mara (in Amber).

"Hi, Amber."

"Hi guys, Fabian and Alfie are looking for you."

Nina and I looked at each other. Then I turned back to Mara, "Did they say why?"

"No just that it was really important. They're in Fabian's room, wrestling. I didn't now they were that strong."

Oh, no. What was happening?

"Thanks Amber," I told her as Nina and I raced to Fabian's room.

Inside both boys were on the floor in a heap.

"What are you doing?" Nina demanded as Fabian pinned Alfie, who got rolled over Fabian in a second.

"I need your help," Alfie replied as he continued wrestling with Fabian.

"What's wrong?" I asked worried that something even worse had happened.

"He thinks that-that..." Fabian paused, then continued, "Uh, never mind. It's not important."

Alfie smirked when Fabian started to blush.

Nina looked confused, but let it go, "Alfie off of Fabian."

Alfie jumped off Fabian, and sprinted for the exit.

Fabian tried to follow him, but Nina and I stopped him.

"Fabian, what's wrong?" Nina tried to ask him.

He blushed even more and sat down on the ground. Taking big, labored breaths from the little wrestling match that had just happened.

I listened to Nina continuing to try to get Fabian to answer her, until I felt like a voyageur, and left.

I closed the door behind me, and found myself face to face with Victor.

AMBER'S POV (mara's body)

I hurried down the stairs to see what was making all that noise.

At the bottom I saw Victor eyeing Patricia.

"What is going on in there Nina?" he asked, not lightening his gaze a bit.

Patricia looked cornered, and spotted me.

She quickly turned her eyes back to Victor, "Patricia is claming Alfie down, because he got really angry, but I don't know why."

He smiled his evil smile, "Off you go Miss. Martin. Supper is almost ready."

Particia scrambled to get away from Victor, exactly how Nina would.

I walked to the kitchen to get ready for supper.

Mara came up beside me, speaking in a soft voice, "Amber, I know you're in my body, and I need to talk to you about that."

I smiled to myself, "Sure, after dinner, my room?"

"Do you mean, yours and Nina's or mine?"

"Nina's and mine of course."

"See you then."

She started walking back up the stairs until I called after her, almost forgetting I had to call her Amber, "Amber! We have to set the table up!"

Mara continued going her way, then said over her shoulder, "Sorry Mara, working isn't good for me, and I have to work work on this assignment, or I'll fail Biology."

I gasped. She was being so rude, not helping me when it was our turn. Where did she get that from?

Oh, well. It's a mystery to me.

MARA'S POV (Amber's body)

I walked upstairs ignoring Amber like how she did to me.

Mick (Jerome, but Mara doesn't know that) came up to me.

"Hi Amber. I was wondering if you wanted to go out with me?"

What? What had he just said?

"What did you just say?"

"I was wondering if you wanted to go out with me."

"B-b-but your Mara's boyfriend."

He smiled, "So? She doesn't have to know."

I frowned. Mick was asking Amber out. Even though I was in Amber, he didn't know that.

"Um, about that, Mick. You see, I don't feel comfortable with that. You know cause you're Mara's boyfriend, not mine."

He leaned closer to whisper in my hear, "Mara. I'm not Mick, I'm Jerome."

"Jerome?" I asked, bewildered.

He nodded, then continued, "But what you need to know is that Mick is in me, and he knows you and Amber switched."

"He does?" I hated how my voice sounded close to tears.

He nodded again sadly.

Tears really did pour down my face then.

Jerome hugged me, "There, there. It's okay. Who needs him anyway?"

I looked up, seeing Mick, but my mind's eye conjured up a picture of Jerome.

His piercing blue eyes, his grin, the way his dirty blond hair fell just right, and the way he looked at her, as if she were the only person in the world that mattered at all to him.

Then, without meaning to. I went onto my tippy toes, and kissed him.

At first he seemed as shocked as I had, but then he wrapped his arms more tightly around me, pressing me into him.

After of about a minute of intense kissing, I pulled away. Still shocked about what I had just done.

That kiss, was amazing. I'd never felt so...excited.

When I kissed Mick, there was never any real fireworks. But when I kissed Jerome, it was as if I'd spent my whole life asleep, and I was just waking up for the first time ever.

Jerome looked down at me through Mick's eyes, and I saw compassion. A level of compassion way deeper than Mick never looked at me with.

I looked at Jerome again, and I knew, I wanted Jerome to be mine more than anything in the world. And for the moment...

He was.

MICK'S POV

I turned the corner, and saw Mara and Jerome kissing.

Jerome had told me all about Mara and Amber switching, and I was coming to talk to Mara about it.

Then I'd seen them kissing.

I turned and walked the other way, I plan forming in my head.

What if I went out with Amber? It would make Mara jealous, and she would come crawling back to me in an instent.

It was perfect.

I went up to Amber, "Hey Mara?"

She looked up at me, "Yeah?"

"I was wondering if you wanted to go out with me?"

"Of course Mi-Jerome, I'd love to."

I grinned as she turned her back on me.

Everything was coming together.
