Chapter 45 - Side Story: Erick [1]

"Erica!"

Erick snuggled deep in his bed, pretending that he did not hear the shout coming from outside his room.

His bedroom door was slammed open and suddenly, another yell came out. And this time, it was from inside his room. "Erica, didn't you hear me calling you??"

Erick abruptly sat up on his bed and yelled back. "Who the feck is Erica??? And stop yelling, for God's sake!"

Then he went silent. And his eyes widened. 'Why does my voice sound so feminine?' he thought, feeling confused.

It was then he looked around his room. What should have been painted cream on his walls, it instead painted a soft yellow. And what should be in front of his bed was not his TV but rather a vanity table. And in the mirror, what should be a handsome and muscular young man, there was instead a petite and beautiful young girl looking at herself. The look on the girl's face was exactly how he was feeling right now; shocked, confused and baffled.

'Wait. What is going on here?' he thought, still feeling confused.

He looked down at her body and screamed. Rather girly, if he does say so. He touched his body all over and could feel softness everywhere. His muscles and abs were gone. Now, he only has a soft body and b.r.e.a.s.ts. Wait, he does have b.r.e.a.s.ts before… but not this big!

He clutched his head, feeling aggravated. 'Why… why…' he thought sadly. 'Years of taking care of my body and training them… my body has changed to a woman's!!!'

While he was agonizing about his change of body, the person who had yelled earlier came forward and grabbed the blanket off him. "What are you screaming for?" she yelled.

Erick looked up and saw his father looking down at him, scowling. Or rather a female version of his father. His father was kind of pretty too, with his short pixie brown hair. His eyes were still the same dark piercing eyes. But what made Erick cringed was unfortunately, his body was still the same. His father, or rather his mother has a muscular body with thick arms. She looked tall too, not petite as his actual mother, Luella, was.

"Why are you bigger than me?" Erick wailed, not liking this unfairness.

His mother then slapped him on the head. "What are you saying, you little imp? Are you calling your mother 'fat'??" she scolded.

Erick rubbed his head. "No, no. I… I…" he stammered.

"Get to the shower or you'll be late for school!" his mother scolded again, pointing to the direction of his bathroom.

Few minutes later, Erick walked down the stairs, feeling refreshed from the shower. Although, he was still confused as to how this world became an inverted world, at least he was satisfied about one thing. When he had his shower, he noticed… he really does have a banging hot body. He has curves everywhere albeit soft. If he hadn't had a mate yet, he would probably hit on himself.

He had a goofy smile on his face when he walked in the kitchen where his parents were sitting on the dining table.

Curious to see what his father looked like, he sat down across his father, whom he assumed was sitting behind the newspaper. When his father lowered the newspaper, Erick's eyes widened.

His father looked like his mother's male version. He was small, smaller than his 'mother'. He has that soft features that his mother has; brown eyes and full lips. In fact, his father looked more feminine than his mother.

"Good morning, Honey," his father greeted. His voice was so deep that it made Erick cringed. He was not used to this version.

"Uhh, good morning, Dad," he greeted back, inwardly cringing.

"Aw, are you getting older now that you no longer call me 'Daddy'?" his father teased as he set the newspaper aside and proceeded to eat his breakfast.

Erick's eyes widened. What the feck? Daddy??

He then laughed awkwardly. Though, more like a giggle. "Of course not. I didn't feel well this morning so…" he lied, looking down on his plate.

And when he looked down on his plate or rather his bowl, his eyes widened again. 'What the feck is this?' he complained inwardly.

Noticing the surprise look on Erick's face, his mother frowned at him."What's wrong, Erica? Don't you like your breakfast?" she asked, confused.

Erick looked up and quickly shook his head. "No, no," he denied. "Just that… Only these?" pointing at his bowl where there was only oatmeal mixed with milk, Greek yogurt and chia seeds.

His mother frowned, her eyebrows scrunched in confusion. "Why, yes. Didn't you ask to change your meal plans? You wanted to control your diet, you said the other day."

Erick laughed awkwardly. "Haha. So I did," he said slowly.

Shortly after, his father dropped him in front of the school. Erick waved him goodbye as his father drove off, on his way to work.

Erick sighed. 'I don't know what's going on but I guess I have to endure this until I find out what's going on,' he thought to himself.

Then he just remembered. He quickly closed his eyes and called out a name.

'Dane, are you there?' he said in his mind.

He kept calling Dane's name until a voice answered him in his mind.

'Who are you calling 'Dane'? the voice growled. 'It's Diane, you idiot.'

Erick's eyes widened. The feck. Dane has become a female too?? He then sighed inwardly. Seems like his personality was still the same. Still insulting him as usual.

'Why are you calling some other guy's name? That your new guy?' Diane asked.

'No, no,it was nothing,' Erick said quickly.

'Hmmm…' Diane said slowly. 'Alright, don't be stupid again, calling out someone's name. You're making me annoyed with that whiny voice. I'm trying to sleep here,' she complained.

Erick sighed inwardly. Seriously, what's with this wolf? She was even more insulting than Dane.

Just as Erick was about to head inside the school, he heard someone called his name. To be exact, Erica's name.

He turned around and saw a tall but beautiful girl running towards her. She was wearing glasses, making her look studious. But looking at the way she dressed; a pink t-shirt with short jeans, she doesn't look like those typical nerds. In fact, she looked more like a s.e.xy librarian girl.

Looking closely at this girl, Erick realized that she has the same features as Hamish but more feminine.

When she got closer, she pushed her glasses up her nose and narrowed her eyes at Erick. "What's wrong with you?" She asked suspiciously. "It is as if you haven't seen me before."

"No, no, of course," Erick protested nervously. 'Deemit, deemit. What's her name?' he asked inwardly, trying to remember as hard as he could.

Just then, someone called out to them. "Hey Erica, Hannah! What are you girls doing still standing here? The bell's about to ring!"

The two of them turned around and nodded. "Will be right there," Hamish, or rather Hannah replied back.

'Thank you, someone I don't know!' Erick cried in his heart, feeling grateful that he now has a name for Hamish.

Hannah turned to Erick and grabbed his hand. "Come on, let's go, Erica."

Erick nodded and let her pull him along. Hannah's hand was so soft. So unlike Hamish's hands. Although he had touched many girls' hands, he did not expect Hamish's female version has soft hands either. But studying her from top to bottom, Erick felt… that he was hotter than Hannah.

Erick inwardly nodded, feeling proud. Yup, his body was hotter than Hannah's. More s.e.xy and curvy.

Few minutes later, they arrived in the homeroom. It was then Erick realized that he probably would be able to see Amber. Will she be a girl or will she be a male version of herself?

He sat down in his seat, anticipating and excited to meet Amber. He really was impatient to know what she looks like.

Just as he was thinking of the possibilities, someone in front of him turned around.

Erick raised his head and his eyes widened in horror.

The girl in front of him wasn't that beautiful but she has this charm about her that made her pretty. Her white ash blonde hair was tied into a braid, giving her this innocent look, with her bright green eyes. Her mouth, although was a bit wide, but full was painted a soft pink, similar like the rosy hue on her cheeks.

As he stared at the girl in front of him in horror. The girl opened her mouth and said, "Erica, are we on for later? You, me and Hannah to a Fried Chicken Joint! It will be as usual. The three girls; HEA! Hannah, Erica and Amber!"

Once Erick heard the name, his scream of 'Noooo' echoed throughout the class. His face was full of horror and disbelief. 'Am I going to be mated with a girl? Is this a same s.e.x relationship??' he thought in dread.

Then suddenly, he felt like he was hit with a bucket of cold water.

Gasping for breath, he slowly opened his eyes. It was then he realized that he was in his room, on his bed. This time, the wall was painted cream and his wall TV was in front of his bed.

He looked around and found that everything was the same. He then looked down and sighed in relief. He was back to being a handsome and muscular young man.

He then realized that he was drenched. His shirt was soaked. His hair was plastered against his forehead, still dripping water.

He looked up and saw his mother frowning down at him, with her hands on her h.i.p.s. "Mom?" he said slowly.

"You were screaming so dramatically so I poured water to wake you up," his mother explained. "Now, get going or you'll be late for school."

With that, his mother walked out of the room, carrying the bucket with her.

It felt like deja vu for Erick as he shook his head, splattering water everywhere. He then got up from his bed and sighed again. 'Thank god that wasn't real. Sorry, but I believed in male-female relationsh.i.p.s, not the same.,' he cringed.

He then nodded to himself and went into his bathroom to take a shower for the new day.
