I did what now? This has to be some sort of joke. I did not kiss him. This is just some sort of nightmare.

"That can't be it," I refused, inching away from Shawn. My cheeks felt like they were on fire.

"As much as I hate it, it's true."

"So you want to try kissing?"

"Hell no. I don't want to get near you, but right now I'm stuck with you until we change back."

"No, I'm not going to kiss you!"

"Do you want to stay in these body forever?"

"No—"

Shawn took a step forward and I took a step back. He can't be serious about this. He took another step forward and I went back again.

"What if this doesn't work? What then? You'll have kissed me for nothing."

He kept stepping towards me and I kept going back. My foot touched the stairs and I fell on my bottom. I tried to stumble up the stairs but Shawn was upon me then. He grabbed my face roughly, closed his blank eyes, and moved closer. I shut my eyes, not wanting to watch this happen. Shawn's breath brushed against my face before his lips touched mine. As soon as the kiss came, it ended and Shawn slowly moved back. Our eyes opened and instead of green-gray eyes, I was met with brown. Instead of sitting down, I was standing up, leaning forward. I moved away and he got up.

"We don't speak about this to anyone, got it?" he snapped. I nodded vigorously and we both sauntered to the front door, unspeaking.

The next day at school, I walked down the hallway with Johnny next to me. People pushed by us. I got to my locker, having a quiet conversations with Johnny. Loud laughter passed causing me to look. My eyes caught familiar brown eyes. Everything went on a standstill for a moment before we ripped our attention away to something else.

"You okay, Shawn? You look nervous," one of his friends commented.

"I have a test in Chemistry today that decides if I'm going to stay on the team or not."

"That sucks."

Shawn sounded annoyed. "Thanks."

"You have to pass this test. If you're off the team, not many chicks would want you."

"And there goes my scholarship."

"That sucks."

"I heard. What am I going to do?"

"Beats me. The only thing I could think of is copy off of someone or have someone from an earlier period tell you the answers."

"I can't memorize all the answers that fast. It's next period."

My stomach fluttered and all I could think about was helping him. I didn't know why. Maybe I really pitied him. Maybe I knew we needed him in the track team. What could I do to help? I peaked over my shoulder and felt my ears redden slightly when I remembered the kiss and his faded minty breath on my face. Would that work?

The group of Socs looked like they were about to move on. I closed my locker and gave Johnny a small smile. Come on, do it for the team…

I walked forward right when they began to head to their first classes and knocked into them. The Socs glared at me and one pushed me. "Watch where you're going, grease!"

I ignored them, tensing up subconsciously. I turned to Shawn who said, "Let's leave him alone. I have other things to worry about."

They looked surprised at him before they turned their attentions back to me. "You're lucky, trash!"

They pushed by me and I stood still. Shawn brushed me as he passed and I took this time to whisper in his ear. "Go to that closet in passing time. I can help." We locked eyes before he turned back to face forward.

Johnny hurried up to me, concern in his eyes. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Let's just go."

When the next passing period came, I walked over to the closet I mentioned to him earlier and slipped in. Shawn was already inside, looking impatient.

"How are you going to help?" he instantly pressed.

"We switch bodies. I have an A in that class."

"You want to kiss again?"

"Of course not. If you don't pass you're out and we need you on the team. I'm taking one for the team."

He nodded stiffly before moving in. It's for the team. It's for the team. I kept repeating that sentence over and over until I felt his lips on mine. It was like all trains of thought were lost in a thick fog when he kissed me. When I opened my eyes again, I was in his body.

"My class is PE. Surely you can't mess that one up. Who's your teacher?" I asked, pulling away. He gave me the name and I gave him my combination. I'm still stunned that we can exchange bodies whenever we kiss. There has to be a reason for that, but right now, it doesn't matter.

"You better not fuck this up," he said.

I walked out of the almost empty closet and made my way to class. I turned around to watch him leave the closet and walk towards the gym. When I was sure no one was looking, I touched my lips, remembering the soft texture before we swapped.

When I entered the class, I was one of the last ones inside. I sat in an empty seat, assuming that it was Shawn's if there were assigned seats. The bell rung and the teacher immediately passed out the thick packet. I reached in Shawn's backpack and took out a dull pencil with no eraser and went to work, making sure to write his name instead of mine.

I worked slowly to make it not seem quite as obvious. I also made sure to get some wrong. When that was over, I waited until almost everyone has turned it in before heading up to turn it in. The rest of the class period was quiet except for the scratching sound of pencil on paper as everyone finished up and the teacher corrected the papers. When the bell rung I left the class and towards the closet where I waited for Shawn to enter.

"How'd you do?" he asked when the door closed.

"I got at least a B for you. Your welcome," I answered. He looked relieved and smiled, making him look glorious.

What am I thinking? I shouldn't think that.

"Let's turn back," he said. He leaned in and once again I closed my eyes. When I reopened them, we were back in our bodies. He practically skipped out of the room right after and I frowned. He didn't even say 'thank you'.

Seth Clearwater: Thank you. The next update will probably be next week. Most likely it will.

Pony'sgirlfriend: Awe, you're making me blush.

BunnyluvsU: I will be updating it. I will switch between them. I have a thing where I will explode if I don't write multiple stories at once. My mind will explode of ideas. But since it's summer, you'll get relatively quick updates.
