Mrs. Kawahara and Ms. Enko bowed at us one more time before they turned around and walked back into the university. They had accompanied us to the entrance to send us off. Sachiko was still in Jun's body, Jun was in mine, and I was in Sachiko's.
The last sun rays of the day hit me directly in the face as we walked the sidewalk of the university in complete silence. My heart had been pounding in my chest since the moment I realized we had gotten stuck in each other's bodies.
"Is it alright if we sit down a little?" asked Sachiko, crestfallen in Jun's body.
"Sure," Jun answered in my body.
We sat down together on the bench on the sidewalk, not caring about touching by accident anymore. I focused on my breathing as the silence remained, calming my heart at last. The shadows of the buildings finally covered our bodies, and the temperature didn't take long to cool us down.
