1109 Words
Charlotte quickly got over the shock and and ran went back to the hospital bed. She jumped on the bed and went straight to the phone she saw a while ago when that lady that claimed she was her mother was here.
She picked up the phone and saw her face in it's mirror
"This is not me!" She exclaimed. She touched the face that was as perfect as perfect could be caressing it.
"This is really not me!". Then all of a sudden she had an idea. She was going to call her number.
She tried to unlock the phone but the moment she wiped it, it showed
' Input your password '
"ah. What type of rubbish is this?" Charlotte asked in frustration.
But just as she was screaming her head in annoyance and frustration the phone in her hand started ringing. She checked it and saw that it was her number.
...
"What the hell is going on? Why is this not my body? Who are you people? ". Isabella couldn't stop asking questions. All she remembered was that, one minute she was inwardly celebrating her obvious win, the next, see was in a small restaurant with people she didn't know and to crown it all, she wasn't in her body.
" This cannot be happening right now "
" Are you trying to say that your not my sister? ". Jason looked at the girl I'm his sister's body warily.
Isabella looked at the black haired guy like an i***t. She had been saying she wasn't Charlotte or whatever the original owner of this body name was since she got here.
" I said I'm not your sister, so I'm not your sister. What's there to understand? ". Isabella actually thought she was talking to 5 year olds.
" If your not Charlotte, then where, who is she".
Isabella looked at the brow haired, he had just asked a reasonable question.
"If I'm here in your sister's body, then your sister..." She paused to think
".. must be in mine".
"Where's this girl's phone?". Isabella said pointing to herself.
"Charlotte always keeps her phone in her pocket when she's working". The black haired guy who she was now sure that he was Charlotte's brother.
Isabella checked the pockets of her clothes and saw a phone,
" What is this? ". She asked looking looking at all of them, then at the phone.
"Don't tell me people actually uses this to call?" She saw the looks in all their faces and was shocked.
"Wait, what about social media? How do you..."
"Not everybody is as rich as you. Because from what I'm hearing you say, I'm very sure your from a rich home" . Charlotte brother yelled.
" Wow, someone's holding grudges. Whoever your holding it at, should be prepared. I glad I'm not really here, at least my body isn't". Isabella joked to release the tension in the room.
"Now for the phone, what's her password..." she tried swiping the phone up and immediately it opened
".. she doesn't have a password, how helpful".
"Now just for me to call my number and, it's ringing". Everyone in the room held their breath for two reasons. One was to hope that someone picks up the phone, the other, is for the person that picks up the phone, to be Charlotte.
" Hello". A voice from the other side of the phone answered.
"Oh thank goodness, you answered. " Isabella heaved a sigh of relief.
" That sounded like my voice, wait who are you? What's going on?"Charlotte said in a hurry. She just heard her voice, her voice from a different location, and it wasn't even from a recording.
"That's the same question I asked when I saw my face, I meant your face".
"Wait that means, your Isabella?"
".. And you must be Charlotte". Jason heard the weird girl mention his sister name and rushed to collect the phone from her
"Charlotte are you there?"
Charlotte had never been so glad to hear her older brother's voice before in her life.
"Jason, I'm fine, I don't know what's going on. This isn't my body, I don't even know what, where this place is". Isabella annoyed, grabbed the phone from Jason and glared at him.
" Collect the phone from my hand like that again, and there would be consequences ".
Jason raised his hands in adherence, and went to stand beside Elijah who had been oddly quiet.
"Hey, it's anyone there, hello!". Charlotte yelled in desperation. If she didn't get an answer she was sure she was going to run mad.
"I'm back, what were you saying"
"How are you even calm about this, a girl you had no idea existed before today is residing in your body and your this calm?".
'What is wring with that girl called Isabella?'. Charlotte asked in her mind.
"What do you expect me to do, scream, or you want to trash the place. Look when I woke up at first I was terrified, but now I'm calmer, and you have to calm down as well. Nothing would get solved if you don't calm down."
"You must be a wise kid to say something like that when a stranger is in your body living your rich live". Charlotte couldn't calm down. It was true that they didn't have much back at home, but she couldn't trade her family for anything in the world.
"Look, I need you to understand, this may be beyond our control.." Isabella tried to reason with her but dropped it when she saw she was going nowhere.
"Em.. where are you now?"
"I think I'm in a hospital, a very rich one to be precise". Charlotte looked around the huge hospital room as she said.
"Look around you, do you see my lenses?"
"Your what??". Charlotte asked. Was this girl still thinking about looking good at a time like this?
"My contact lenses. I was wearing then when I went unconscious, so it must be around there somewhere, search for it". Isabella said worriedly. She didn't want her parents to find out about whatever was happening, because that would not be good.
Charlotte searched the tables for a while and saw two contact lenses by the stand.
"I've found it what do you want me to do with it? "Charlotte asked as she held the contact lenses in her hands.
" I want you to wear them so that the real colors of your eyes would not be seen"
" What! What are you trying to say"
" Charlotte, I want you to be me!"
