"The next match will be…" Trudy reached into the dish. "Willow and Joy."

"Squee!" Willow exclaimed, her eyes lighting up.

"Great." Joy sarcastically, rolling her eyes to look at Patricia.

"And…" Trudy pulled out two more slips of paper. "Jerome and Mara are matched up!"

Joy coughed awkwardly, as if she was reminding everyone that she was Jerome's girlfriend.

"Awkward." Amber sang. This earned her glares from several of the students.

"That leaves…" Trudy looked at the two remaining students.

"Oh no." Fabian groaned.

"Oh, this is going to be good." Patricia laughed.

"Already nailed it!" Alfie exclaimed. He sat up straighter. "I'm Fabian and I spend lots of time in the library. And I'm a geek who never has any fun."

Fabian, slightly offended, slumped in his own seat. "And I'm Alfie. I like playing mindless pranks and rotting my brain with zombie movies."

"Okay, kids, you better get on that." Trudy chuckled and clapped her hands. "Go!"

"Yay." Joy rolled her eyes again.

OoOoOoOo

"Fabian, I can't do this." Alfie said to Fabian an hour after the switching started. "Your clothes are ridiculous." He scratched at the flannel shirt he was wearing.

"You think I'm happy?" Fabian groaned at his reflection in the mirror. The graphic t-shirt he was wearing was juvenile and Alfie's red skinny jeans didn't exactly suit him either.

Alfie sighed and sat on Fabian's bed. Suddenly, he perked up. "I'm you and you're me, right?"

"Unfortunately, yes." Fabian looked back at Alfie.

"You know what I would do right about now?" Alfie got a mischievous look on his face.

"I don't think I want to know."

"I would play a prank." Alfie continued. "On Patricia. Just to make her angry."

"Uh oh." Fabian sighed loudly.

"I would go upstairs and steal something of hers." Alfie smirked.

"Of course you would." Fabian sighed and headed for the door. Just before he headed out, he turned around to face Alfie one last time. "Just to make it clear, I'm only doing this in spirit of this game."

"Whatever, dude." Alfie laughed.

Fabian reluctantly walked up the stairs. He could not believe he was doing this. As he entered Patricia and Mara's shared room, he felt relief wash over him since it was currently empty. Fabian quickly spotted Patricia's black and purple jewelry box. He figured that jewelry could be easy to steal since she seemingly had a lot of it.

He opened one of the drawers. Necklaces shifted as Fabian pulled the drawer out. He spotted an unfamiliar one underneath several others. He pulled it out. Fabian had never this necklace before. And even though he didn't really pay attention to what his friend wore, he knew she wouldn't wear something like this.

"Is she hiding something?" Fabian mused, holding up the necklace.

"What do you think you're doing?" A voice came from the doorway.
