Be Careful What You Wish For
Authors Note
Okay, I just wanna quickly say to Hermione-Granger17 that I didn't steal your storyline. I didn't even know your story existed until I got your review. I actually got the idea for the story from a Goosebumps episode, which is where some people might recognise the title from as well. I guess its just coincidence it's the same kinda plot. Also, thanks for your reviews guys! You rock! =)
Chapter One
I woke up feeling great. I lay in bed smiling with my eyes closed. My smile quickly faded as I recalled what had happened yesterday at school.
I slumped out of bed, considering telling Mum I didn't feel very well to get out of going to school. As soon as my feet hit the floor I knew something was wrong. My heart stopped for a second as I gazed around the room.
I gaped at the hot pink walls that surrounded me and then looked to my left where there were tons of photo frames, most of which were bordered by purple and pink jewels or fluffy stuff.
I froze as I took a closer look at the photos. The first one was of me and Claire at Waterslide Wonderland. I scrunched up my face and moved along the lines of photos. Me and Ethan. A bunch of girls in cheerleading uniforms. Kate's parents.
That's when it struck me. I threw open the bedroom door and ran downstairs. "Hello?" I called through the echoing hallways.
The house was empty. "Great," I muttered, falling against the wall and slowly sliding to the ground.
"Kate, darling, what are you doing?" I looked up to see Kate's mum standing by the doorway.
"Mrs Sand-I mean, mum! Hi!" I plastered a smile on my face, which I could feel burning up red.
She laughed, "Good morning sweetums. Look, me and Daddy will be out of town for the next few days. Big business deals in New York this week. I've left some cash in the cookie jar if you need something."
"Uhh.. okay." I didn't know what else to say, so I stood there frozen like an idiot.
Mrs Sanders pecked me on the cheek, and then grabbed a suitcase from next to the staircase. "Gotta run, I'll see you next week honey."
I managed a small "Bye," as she left.
"This can't be happening," I said quietly.
I mean, in reality, nobody can switch bodies with someone. That would be impossible. I pinched myself to see if I was dreaming. Nothing happened.
So here I was, alone, in Kate's house. People thought I was her. I was.. popular! I grinned to myself and walked upstairs to get ready for school.
I sorted through racks and racks of clothes. Kate had actually colour co- ordinated her wardrobe. I never thought anyone actually DID that.
I was almost done sifting through her blue section when the phone rang.
"Hello?"
Claire's all too familiar voice replied. "Hey Kate, I was just ringing to remind you to bring that friendship book today. I knew you'd forget, so I thought I better call."
"Yeah," I paused, "Sure, I'll bring it. See you at school."
"Later."
After searching through the pinks, I had acquired the perfect outfit. It wasn't too 'Lizzie', but it wasn't totally Kate-ish either.
I had this idea that it was all a delusion. One big dream. If it was, I decided I was going to make the most of it. Besides, it'd be interesting, right? How many people have the opportunity to get inside of their arch nemesis' life?
I grabbed my bag from next to the bedroom door, and left for school.
This was gonna be fun!
