Serena

I crumple up the letter and stand up. I feel taller than usual and my braid reaches farther down my back than normal, but I ignore it. I run down the hall and into a room. It was smaller than ours, and everything was broken. The bunk bed sheets are torn and pillows are flung across the room. Curtains are shredded and the lamp lays shattered on the floor. I open the window and gasp. The sun is red!! On the street below, or what was left of it, are the remains of burnt buildings and cars with shattered windows lay scattered across the street. I walk back out of the room and wander around the halls. Even though I should be scared alone, I'm not. I feel excited. Being with the others is always so stressful, but you can do what you want when you're by yourself. I turn some corners and finally sit back down. I stare at my shoes for a moment then something clicks. I'm not wearing my converse. I'm wearing tennis shoes. Leggings replace my jeans and a red t-shirt replaces my sweatshirt.

“You could've just said you didn't like my outfit instead of completely changing my clothes, Slender," I mutter to myself. I hear footsteps coming down the hall and jump up quickly. At the other end of the hall stands Eric and Trenton.

“Kathryn!" Eric calls. I turn and see Eric and Trenton down the hall. I run down the hall and throw my arms around Eric. He pats my back awkwardly, somewhat taken aback. I look him in the eyes and kiss him. He tries to pull away yet not to at the same time.

"Uhhh, Kathryn?" Trenton says, and I pull away. Eric gasps with relief.

"Why do you keep calling me Kathryn? I'm Serena," I say, confused. The boys look at each other and break out in a fit of laughter. I feel the anger rising in my chest.

"So you're Serena, not Kathryn?" Eric asks with a funny smile.

"Why do you ask that?" I reply, still angry.

"Because you're in Kathryn's body!"

"What?!" I yell and run into an unlocked room. I check the mirror and scream. I am Kathryn!

"I guess you're right," I say, coming back out of the room.

"Don't worry about it," Trenton smiles, then hugs me. He kisses me on the cheek and I stare at him in complete shock.

"Trenton, what are you doing?" I ask, once I get my voice back.

"I'm Eric. This is Trenton," he says, gesturing to Eric. I feel my cheeks go red.

"Oh...so I kissed.... oh…" I stammer. The boys exchange embarrassed looks.

"So now we're searching the hotel for the others." Eric/Trenton explains.

"Sounds good!" I say and we set off.
