The explosion rocked his body, and it felt like back when he first ejaculated. He was stunned, and confused, tinged with a little fear, about what just happened.
He had heard about this from his classmates....wait a second. No! That wasn't right! "I'm a 36 year old man!" But the sweaty image of the 14 year old Charles Michael Bennett staring back at him belied that fact.
"I'm starting to get his memories. Will that mean it'll be as if I never was Anthony Salvatore at all, and all I'll ever know is Charlie's life he left behind?"
He sighed and turned started turning around, when a shiny object caught his eye! His heart leaped up in his chest! His eyes wide, he said
"Oh my God!" as he darted towards the shiny object. "Here it is! You mean to tell me it was halfway under my bed this entire time!?"
The fact that he said "my bed" was lost on him in his excitement. He looked at the clock on his side table. 4:46. There was still time! He needed to call Gino and have him and his dad come on over!
He went to retrieve his phone, but he couldn't find it! His very final hope was dashed. Too bad, because he was prepared to accept his fate. But finding the medallion gave him an intense surge of hope, and almost "felt" like he was back as himself again. But his inability to locate his phone made his world instantly come crashing down. He was on the verge of tears for being trapped in such a young, I experienced, lithe frame.
But then, he heard buzzing. Buzzing! Under his sweat pants he had shed! But of course!
He lifted his pants, and there it was! "OG, THANK GOD!" he said. He was on an emotional rollercoaster. It was now 4:52 PM. He knew he didn't switch bodies right exactly at 5:00 yesterday evening, but he wasnt exactly sure what time it was. He just knew it was around 5. So he has a couple minutes, at least, of flex-time. But he knew he mustnt play around with it too much. Every single, every second counted.
He saw it was Gino! Gino was calling! Alright!
"Hello?" Anthony said quickly with Charlie's voice.
"Hey, Charlie. What are you up to?"
"Oh, hey man! Nothing! I thought you were up at your Nana's?"
He could have smacked himself in the forehead! He didn't have time for small-talk!
"Yeah, something came up-"
"Hey, would you and your dad wanna come on over to pick me up, like right now!? It's an emergency! " He said, interrupting Gino.
"Uh, sure. What's up?"
"No time to explain! I need you guys here pronto! I'll be waiting outside!"
"Ok. Hey Dad! Charlie needs us at his place right away!"
"I dunno. He said there's no time to explain."
Anthony could only hear what his best friend was saying.
"Dammit! Not my best friend! My kid!"
"Ok, we're heading out to the car now. We"LL be there in like five minutes! This better be good!"
Aight, I'll see ya."
They hung up.
"Oh, thank God!" Anthony said to himself.
He rapidly proceeded to change back into his clothes. The underwear was spent. Gross. He would just have to free-ball it.
After he finished cleaning himself up "down there" really fast, he immediately threw on his dirty sweats, shoved his feet into his shoes without any socks, and out on a random shirt that didn't smell all that fresh. Wearing someone else's clothes, especially a slobby teenage boy, again cross his mind. But nevermind that!
He ran outside, just as the Salvatores pulled up. It's now 4:59.
Anthony ran around to the driver's side, and motioned for his body to roll down the window. He obliged. Anthony reached out and touched his hand, just as it turn 5:00 PM on the dot.
