I sat on the edge of my bed in his body, staring at my hands.
I had no idea how to change back.
"I was thinking about how my abilities actually work," Esti mumbled.
She was getting flashes. What she did. The images.
She tried to imagine, tried to figure out the way to return to her body.
She found no clue...
Time was passing too fast. Now Esti stood up and moved closer to the door. She locked it.
Click.
She turned and took a step, coming closer to the bed.
With a heavy sigh, she let her male body fall down onto the mattress.
The springs creaked under the weight.
Her gaze caught the watch. `Time's passing too fast,` she thought. `It's already midnight.`
She let a shaky sigh out.
A strange vibration traveled through her body. Buzzed under her skin. And then it was gone.
She shot up, suddenly panicked. Her heart beat fast.
She was taking breaths too quickly. In. Out. In.
She slowly moved toward the mirror.
Halfway there, she rolled her shoulders and stretched, arms reaching high above her head.
Her back cracked softly. Her male body felt stiff, wrong, like a suit two sizes too big.
She looked.
A smirk crossed her face.
Her female body had returned to her.
She stared at her Caribbean blue eyes. Longer than she meant to.
She lifted her hand in front of the mirror. Her fingers slid up, sliding between her hair.
Soft. Clean. Hers again.
`So my ability has a time limit,` Esti realized.
`After the time passes, we return to our bodies by ourselves.`
A sound echoed in her room.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
Someone was knocking.
With a little force. With anger.
She took a step back.
On her face, a wry smile appeared.
`I know it's my sweet best friend. However, I'm not gonna open the door.`
