The mirror!
Jamie’s eyes widened upon the realization. Perhaps the mirror is behind all this?! If she were to shatter it, maybe things will turn back to normal! Optimism now blooming, Jamie was all but prepared to rush to her closet for a hammer...
But she couldn’t...
She didn’t know why but for some reason she felt VERY uncomfortable leaving the bathroom without getting dressed first.
“Oh please...” she groaned.
Jamie forced herself forward but the closer she got to the door, the more her fat legs fought her. At just an inch away, they froze completely. Try as she might, a part of her DIDN’T want her leaving this bathroom without getting dressed. It was like two different voices were bickering with each other in her head.
“I have to smash the mirror!” “No! You have to get dressed first!”
Sighing, Jamie quickly dried herself up but upon seeing the clothes she picked out, she instantly frowned.
“What the hell?!”
These weren’t her clothes! At least not the ones she picked! Hell, if they were hers’, she’d never had worn such gaudy things! An ugly white blue and yellow plaid blouse, a pair of light blue slacks, and a brown belt?! She’d rather prance naked around town than were a such an outfit!
Alas, she had no other options. She started with her underwear and bra, threw the top on, followed by the slacks. During this, Jamie took notice of a rather unnerving truth.
Her body seemed to move on its own.
It started with the blouse. As she reached out for the slacks, she suddenly started buttoning the damn thing up! It’s like she just lost control of her freaking hands! And after fastening her belt, she was then tucking her blouse into her pants! She didn’t want to do these things but her hands just seemed to act of their own accord, almost if they wanted her to look the part of total geek! Reaching out the door, Jamie pulled in a pair of black loafers and white socks. She KNEW she didn’t put these outside but here they were. Shrugging, she put the stupid things on so she could get out of this damn bathroom. Now fully clothed, Jamie was all but set to smash the damn mirror into a million pieces...
Until she caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror.
It was then a strange compulsion suddenly took hold of her.
She just had to braid her hair!
Smiling, Jamie brushed it out first before carefully braiding up her luscious locks. Her teeth hadn’t yet changed nor had her braces formed but she knew they would soon. As she did her hair, Jamie’s wide toothy smile never faded. Despite her acne, she always thought herself pretty. Heck all the boys in the Sciencenauts and chess club had their eyes on her. Unfortunately for them, it's not looks she was looking for in a man, it’s smarts. Her own mind was as sharp as a sword, and the only man who could compete with her in that category was her boyfriend. Speaking of the devil, as she put the finishing touches on her left braid, she heard her phone ping. T’was a text and upon seeing the sender’s name, Jamie could only smile.
Dexter Prince
“Finishing up my report and I’ll swing on by. Gotta question I need to ask ya.”
Jamie responded
“Sounds good. Maybe we can do some crossword puzzles and quizzes before finishing the night off with a round of chess?”
“I’m game”
Finishing her hair, Jamie flashed a big smile at the mirror and gave herself two thumbs up before repeating the catchphrase of her old school clubs.
“Nerds rule” She said to herself proudly. Those words however knocked whatever control the mirror had on the young woman and in an instant, Jamie was back to her old athletic minded self. The happiness on her face that existed a moment ago was now replaced with unbridled fear.
Nerds Rule?
The Sciencenauts?
DEXTER PRINCE!?
Jamie screamed louder than she ever had before. Enough of this bullshit! Jamie flung open the door as hard as she possibly could but upon seeing what awaited her outside, she immediately froze..
