You do not realise how anxious or apprehensive you are until relief washes over you like a massive hurricane ripping through man. For the past couple of days, it's as if Blessing has been trapped in her own body, unable to move, unable to scream. She so desperately wanted to respond to the knocks on her bedroom but to no avail but this morning, she can finally feel herself.
Despite awakening in her own flesh, Blessing is not too sure if it's really hers. She's been pretending to be someone else for so long, she's not sure she remembers how to be herself. Her room, her bedsheets all seem unfamiliar to her deep brown eyes. Wriggling her toes and fingers, Blessing lets out a long shaky sigh before kicking back the covers. She's completely in the nude and catches the sigh of herself in the mirror. It feels so strange to gaze at her own flesh but then annoyance dawns on her being when she realises the two pounds that Nathan has added to her body.
Opening her drawers, she realises Nathan has rearranged her clothing causing her to open all her drawers until she finds a shirt and some shorts. Running her fingers through her natural hair in dismay, Blessing makes a note to buy some new bundles. How Nathan managed to maintain such short kinky hair is beyond Blessing's intellect but she gives the credit to Lana. Placing her hands under the tap, Blessing dampens her hair before pulling gently at the strands to let her hair loose and look more presentable. Spraying some coconut oil for a last touch, Blessing wipes her hands on a towel and opens the door.
Gingerly, she makes her way to the kitchen to find it empty and with a panic runs to the window but there are cars and students going about their day absent-minded. Relieved, Blessing steps away from the window and opens the door to enter the hallway to find Nathan at the other end staring at her incredulously,
"I thought you were dead," Nathan explains as he runs down the hallway to stand in front of her,
"I could hear you guys outside of my room but I just couldn't say anything or move," Blessing explains shaking her head,
"Whatever it doesn't matter, we're back in our own bodies. I called my parents and have fortunately reassured them that I'm not about to kill myself," Nathan explains folding his arms across his chest, as he raises an eyebrow at Blessing. Pursing her lips, Blessing gazes sheepishly at the ground,
"In my defence we were playing a game," rolling his eyes, Nathan drops his arms and gazes some more at Blessing. It's a satisfying feeling to finally be looking down instead of up at individuals and he feels physically powerful once more. He mentally thanks Blessing for continuing his commitment to the gym unlike he did,
"I'm sorry about the pounds," he apologises mildly but Blessing dismisses the apology with a shake of her head,
"Whatever this was, I can honestly say we took the whole walk a mile in someone else's shoes seriously," Blessing chuckles to herself. They both begin laughing hysterically which dies and is replaced by an awkward deafening silence,
"Why us?" Nathan finally asks.
