Green Face
Maya had spent hours looking through her grandma's old stuff in the attic when she came across a strange amulet. Curious with what she found, she took it back to her room and started getting ready for bed. It must have activated upon contact, because within minutes it started glowing. Maya was in her underwear and had just put on her green tea face mask when she noticed the bright green object on her dresser. What the...? was all she could think before her vision went black.
When she opened her eyes, he found herself in a teenage boy's body. Maya recognized the pajamas instantly; they were her older brother's. She heard her own voice scream from the room next door. "Sorry Tanner," she shouted over to her brother using his deeper voice. "I didn't mean for that to happen."
"What the hell is this?" he shouted back in her voice. "Why do I look like you? How did this even happen?"
"I think Grandma's amulet made us switch bodies, but I can fix it. Can you bring it over? It's on my dresser." Tanner tried to ignore his nearly naked female body and just focused on searching the room. Meanwhile, Maya took off his pajamas and began examining her brother's body in the mirror.
"I don't see any amulet. Are you sure you put it there?"
Maya froze. Wait, it's gone? Could it have disappeared? she thought for a moment. No, that's crazy. Why would that be a thing? "Well, I'm sure it will show up sometime. Let's just figure it out in the morning."
Tanner marched over to his room. "I'm not sleeping on this. We need to fix this now!" He stepped into the doorway with a face full of rage. Maya had a bit of an out-of-body experience upon seeing her own body in front of her. And it was a bit weird for teenage siblings to be looking at each other in their underwear.
"And what if I don't discover it until junior year?" Tanner continued ranting. "I am not attending classes I've already taken. I don't want to restart my life as you. I have college I need to prepare for." Little did they know, the amulet was one-use only. They were stuck as each other forever.
