Alice swayed from one end of the bed to another in deep disturbed sleep filled with snippets from the fight she had with her sister the previous day , her alarm blared loudly interrupting her sleep. Yawning delicately she woke up with a start, right today was her bloody birthday rising from the bed she took her phone which buzzed with notifications probably from birthday wishes from people, switching it off she saw her reflection on the screen and narrowed her eyes in confusion.
Her heart beat rapidly as she got up to view herself in the vanity across her room , with slowed but sure steps she stood in front of her mirror while starring down. Christ why the fuck am I scared to look in the mirror? I have to start preparing for my birthd- ' immediately she thought of the birthday party her eyes jolted to the mirror and screamed loudly and at the same time she heard a shout from ayra's room . Hyperventilating she paced round in her room while muttering loudly ' no no this can't be happening, this must be nightmare one she would wake up from soon she assured herself but after few minutes of taking a deep breath and stared back at the mirror on meeting with the same results she ran to ayra's room.
"What the fuck is happening? "
" You're in my body!!! " They screamed simultaneously .
" No no this is not good how the fuck am in your body? " Alice screamed loudly freaking out.
" How am I supposed to know? I'm as confused as you are!!! Christ you have to cancel the party Alice " Ayra screamed back because there's no way on God's earth she can handle parties and people just like alice, they might have swapped bodies but the personalities were still the same.
" Never!! there is no way I'm calling off the party, I have been looking forward to this particular day like ever plus all the hard work and you want me to put it off just like that? Do you even know the consequences of canceling the party?" .
" What do you suggest we do then? I simply can't be you especially not today!! " .
" We have to find a way out of this mess my party is starting by 12 noon , we have few hours by our side to solve this. Gawwwwd how did this even happen? " She questioned slumping on the bed. She was supposed to be preparing for her birthday but she was stuck in ayra's body like how? If they didn't find a solution she would literally go crazy.
" I don't know how it happened just woke up and felt strange and boom , omg what is today ? " Ayra asked suddenly with terror in her eyes.
" Tsk tsk ayra you're in my body but unfortunately you're still slow witted we are over that phase already, of course today is my birthday!!! " Alice replied irritated.
"I know today's your birthday I meant which day of the week ? ".
" Today is Friday what's your point lil sis? "
Ayra didn't reply she let her eyes do the talking scared to even say the words aloud and even more scared of Alice 's reaction.
" It can't be damn it can't be ,Freaky Friday happens only in the movies " Alice cried pulling at her hairs but ayra was the one wincing in pain.
" Can you stop dragging my hair it hurts and I don't want a damaged hair after this is all over " Ayra muttered.
" We are gonna go back to sleep and when we wake up everything would be fine " Alice suggested holding on to the last thread of sanity in her head.
" Alice we both know it won't be that easy " Ayra stated softly " I think it all started when you wished me your perfect life yesterday and I - I did the same " She said recalling the fight she wanted to forget with everything in her.
" Well I hope you're happy now enjoy my perfect life " Alice sneered.
" This isn't my fault " Ayra replied with a breaking voice.
" Whose fault is it? Tell me?!!! " Alice screamed hitting the bed angrily.
" You know yelling or blaming me isn't gonna make things right " .
Alice took deep breaths before speaking
" You're right . We have identified the problem maybe if we affirm we want our bodies back we would break the freaky Friday? "
" That's a good plan Alice ".
" I don't want to be someone else I want come back to my original self " They said after one another but alas it didn't work.
" Let's hold hands and say it " Alice said Panickily hoping against hope it would work this time.
" And close our eyes and say it the same time " Ayra added refusing to give up, this had to work it was their only solution.
" Yes let's do it "
" I don't want to be ( they called each other's name) I want to be me!!! They said simultaneously holding tightly to each other's hands and waited for a miracle to occur. Ayra was the first person to peak her eyes open and on seeing she was still on Alice's body she screamed in conseternation and Alice figuring their little idea didn't work flung her eyes open and shouted just as aloud as possible but just then the door creaked open.
* Freaky Friday's can only be reversed by parties involved saying " I love myself " but of course I won't let them know. 😁
