After being thrusted into Avery's life, I immediately had to leave for my new brother's hockey game. I needed to get changed, so I threw on some black joggers, and a white hoodie. I tied the hood over my head, as I didn't know what to do with my new hair. Even if I did, I probably didn't have the time. After brushing my teeth, I ran downstairs, slipped a pair of converse that I had assumed were hers, and ran to the car.
The car ride itself was pretty quick. It was only about 10 minutes, so I assumed that it was a home game. Once we got into the arena, we found a couple of good seats, and the game commenced.
The game wasn't great though. To be honest, it was awful. It looked like half the players in the rink had not the slightest clue what they were doing. There were multiple players who couldn't even skate, as silly as that sounds.
Eventually, after a chaotic 3 periods, the buzzer sounded and the game was over. A few minutes later, who I assumed to be Avery's brother met up with us, and he pulled me aside.
"Blake, is that you?" He whispered. "This is really freaking me out. Why am I in your body right now?"
"No," I said, but quickly stopped and covered my mouth. I haven't spoken in this body yet, and the soft, feminine voice that came out of my mouth shocked me. "Listen. I don't know where I am, or how I ended up here, but I'm from Georgia. Well, I was. My name is Dylan. I'm guessing you're Avery?"
"What the HELL," they shouted. "This has got to be a dream. I wake up in my brother's body, play a full game of hockey for him, and then learn that a stranger is occupying my body? How could today get any worse?"
With that, everyone's attention turned to the large TV the hockey arena housed.
"Breaking News! A lot of you might be scared and confused right now, as you may be finding yourself in an unusual situation. You may be aware of the experiments they're running over at NASA, trying to recreate a supernova. Well, something went wrong, and 90% of the population has switched bodies, completely at random. The government is calling it the great shift, and they are trying to find a solution, but as of right now, it is unlikely that they will find one."
The building went silent. You could hear a pin drop from a hundred meters away. Avery's mom looked to you.
"Avery, is that you? Please tell me they didn't take my kids away from me." She said, and you could tell she was trying to hold back some emotion just from her voice.
"I'm right here mom," Avery said from her brother, Blake's body. "And before you ask, no, that is not Blake. I already asked."
"Hi, my name is- well, I guess was Dylan Cunningham. I was a freshman in college, and the quarterback for the University of Georgia. I suppose you will be my mother for the foreseeable future."
