As the effects of the drugs began wearing off and I came to, I could only hear the sound of a clock ticking. I trying to open my eyes but they still felt heavy. I groaned and rolled my head to the side, feeling long hair tickle the back of my neck. Then I heard a woman's voice as she pushed a button and told someone I was waking up, followed by the sound of her high heeled shoes clicking on the floor as she walked towards me. "Careful sweetie" she said. "The drugs shouldn't fully wear off for an hour or so". Hearing that, all I could do was groan again and give up on holding my head up. And before I knew it I was asleep again.
When I woke up again I was able to open my eyes completely. I could still hear the clock ticking away in the background, but that was it. No other noises. I raised my hand to my face to rub some sleep from my eyes when I saw my hands. They were now smaller, clearly feminine, and had the silver nail polish I saw that Hanna had been wearing earlier today. Sitting up, I looked down to see a pair of breasts sitting on my chest and inside an orange spaghetti strap tank top. Not wanting to stare to long at my new breasts I proceeded to look further down. On my legs I was now wearing a pair of slightly fading skinny jeans that had a few tears in them and were cuffed just about the ankles, and on my feet were Hanna's brown Aeropostale sandals. I swung my new legs off the table, and as I did the nurse I saw earlier came into the room. She proceeded to run me through a series of tests to make sure everything was working right after the swap.
Once she was done she took me out to the lobby where I rejoined both my parents and Hanna's parents where they handed me Hanna's jean jacket. I slipped it on while they were finishing the paperwork so that we could still be ourselves even though we were in different bodies now. The 5 of us talked for a while while we waited for Hanna to wake up. It was almost 20 more minutes before she joined us, and I had to admit that it was weird to see the body I'd lived in my whole life being controlled by someone else. Once the last of the papers were filed we all left together.
"So, how's it feel" Hanna asked as we walked to the cars.
"A little weird" I replied. "There's a lot of things that are really really different, but it's almost as if I feel at home. Like I belong in this body"
"I got the same feeling. So weird"
"Well, we were born in these bodies" I said.
"Yeah, but it's not like I ever felt like I wasn't supposed to be a girl. I mean, I've kissed guys before and liked it"
"I hear you. It's really confusing to think about. You've lived one life for 17 years and now you basically just made the biggest U-turn possible"
"Yeah, I guess" Hanna said.
"Pick this up tomorrow" I asked as I opened the door to my family's car.
