"If you don't fix this, I swear to god I'm gonna rip that ugly ass ear-ring out of your head!" Cameron hissed in his new, unfamiliar voice.
"I'm telling you, it won't let me in! Try yours!" Ian exclaimed as the unfamiliar tiny finger tapped at the girly colored phone that had replaced his sleek black one. But the screen was unresponsive, requiring an access code that neither former boy new.
The two unlucky teenage boys, Cameron and Isaac, had just been sitting in study hall and bored out of their minds. That was, until Ian had stumbled upon something called the 'SWAP' app on his phone. At first the teenage boy thought it was just some kind of filter app, but it actually claimed to be able to swap the bodies of individuals who signed up! Of course, Ian wasn't some flighty geek who believed in any of that, so for a laugh he had clicked on the 'one minute trial' option. The app was spinning for a moment and then...In the blink of an eye, Ian was standing in the body of some skater punk, halfway across the country! The muted sounds and flourescent lighting of the study hall had been replaced with cheers and jeers and his new eyes winced at the suddenly bright sun in his eyes! And he was...holy shit, he was a girl! He brushed long red hair out of his eyes as he looked down at a tanktop that was filled out by some modest, tanned cleavage! But then the trial was over and he was back in his own body!
"You, uh, okay, bro? You looked like you didn't know where you were for a second" Cameron said
"Dude! This app is crazy! We can swap our bodies and get out of here!" Ian shoved his phone into Cameron's face.
Cameron, initially skeptical, couldn't resist the temptation. With a shrug and a smirk, he agreed to give it a shot. After all, what could go wrong? He watched Ian type in their names with a skeptical grin; clearly his bud was just acting, and when it failed he could just make fun of Ian forever for believing in that stupid crap. He watched as Ian selected the first swap trade that appeared on the list, some place supposedly in India, still not believing a word his friend was saying...But when Ian pressed the big 'SWAP' button...the world around them twisted and distorted like a nightmarish carnival ride. Suddenly, they found themselves sitting next to the pool in the middle of a luxurious, but VERY foreign resort! And they were women!
"What the hell...?" Cameron muttered, his voice higher pitched and speaking words that he KNEW were not Enlgish...but understood anyway, panic rising in his now large chest. He couldn't believe that the app was real!
Ian's new face, an exotic Indian beauty, was grinning ear to ear, "Dude, I TOLD you!" He said, his voice equally high pitched and exotic, his mouth forming strange shapes as he spoke words that clearly were not English yet clearly understood. It was a little weird that he was a girl again, but they were hot! And look at where they were at! This was SO much better than that musty old study hall!
"But why are we girls!? Dude, I DON'T like this! swap us back!" Cameron said with a whimper, his new arms and legs spread apart from his busty body as he looked down at the boobs that hung off of him. He didn't want to touch some part of this girl! This was too weird!
"But we, like, just got here! Dude, c'mon, let's just go have some fun! Look, these girls have phones so we can just snap a bunch of pictures of ourselves and email them to our old bodies! Then we can just text our old numbers and tell...whoever these girls are that we're ready to swap back!" Ian's pretty face was still split into a huge, somewhat flawless grin as tiny fingers toyed with the massive earrings that hung off his new lobes.
"No! I'm not gonna feel up some-" Cameron started, but his compalint was cut short as the door to the nearby suite opened up and out walked a much older woman, pretty like they were, but dressed in an array of colorful silk robes, with large gold earrings just like them. But the look on her face wasn't surprise or amusement at the two boys turned girls, but rather one of fury.
"Priya! Ishita! What are you two doing!?" The older woman hissed, "Arjun and Kunal will be here any minute! Come inside, now!You both need to start getting ready to get married!"
"Uh, who? Lady, I don't think-" Ian shared a look of concern with Cameron before turning to the strange woman, but was met with a quick slap upside his black-haired head.
"How dare you! I am your MOTHER, Priya! You will speak to me with RESPECT!" The woman, apparently Ian's new mom, then turned to Cameron who took a step back in fear, "And you, young lady! I can't believe we have to share this day with YOUR family, just because you two are friends and your father is poor! Now, both of you get inside before I send out your father!" The older woman snarled before stomping back into the hotel room.
Holy shit dude! You swapped us with some chicks about to get married! Swap us back, now!" Cameron whispered, jabbing a long-nailed finger at Ian's matching teal phone.
"Uh, right. Right!" The startled teen said with a pain nod before clicking on the phone. It was a simple thing, just power on the phone and boot up the app and then swap back. And then maybe try swapping again, but this time actually reading about who they were swapping with! Wait, was that a screen-lock code? Oh shit...
"Well!? What's the hold-up!?" Cameron hissed.
"Just...Just a second!" Ian said, trying to not let the growing panic of possibly being stuck take over his mind as he tapped uselessly away at the locked phone. Of course, Ian hadn't thought about the fact that Priya or whoever the girl he had swapped with, had locked out her phone. After all, why did she and her best friend Ishita want to ever go back to being trapped by their conservative parents in rural India, shackled to a couple of gross older men? Better they be American boys than Indian girls!
