Study and improve my mind, I could have lost my body and my friends, but if given the option I will put in the effort now to make my life easier later. What mom said is true, I could see this as an opportunity to start anew and with effort I could be the best me that I can be.
"By the way" Mariah said "what about clothes? do we need to go to the mall to buy a new wardrobe for David and Brad?"
"Thank you for reminding me" mom responded "Actually, while you were sleeping the swap facility sent a moving truck to each family house and exchanged your clothes. Basically, you will be using the clothes that your swap partner had; as for toiletries, we already bought new ones for you two. I addition, for the duration of the experiment, the swap facility will give you a monthly stipend that you can use to buy anything you may need"
She paused and looked at me "actually this will mostly benefit David since his erm... her body will grow up a lot from now on"
Yeah I thought, this body was pretty short and light, it will have a lot of growth to do; and then dawned on me, she was not only talking about height but also puberty. I had obviously not checked my new body, but I was sure that I wasn't wearing a bra and my chest was feeling pretty flat, no jiggling or anything, but for how long? the doctor said that although this body is a late bloomer puberty will probably star within 6 months. I was having a lot of conflicting feelings but decided to put them away for later
"A-Anyway" I changed the topic "how long is the experiment going to last?"
This time dad responded: "for you, the experiment is going to finish when you finish high school; remember that you also have the responsibility of taking notes and reporting changes in your body. As for Brad, when he catch up mentally with his body age peers, the experiment will end, according to the doctors this will probably take 3 or so years"
While I was contemplating the changes in my life mom finished: "Well, we are all set; although is a little late lets have some brunch"
