HALLOWEEN MORNING DAWNS and I let myself into Jemma's room early. We giggle as we help each other get ready, anticipating everyone's reactions. I don't think I've ever felt more like a girl.

Jemma puts on a pair of my jeans—tight, black, ripped—and my beloved biker boots, with plenty of dark eye liner and clip-in coloured extensions. I've gone the other direction with a sunset orange summer dress of Jemma's, golden wedge sandles and simple, peach toned make-up. She's even done some clever cover up with my hair and fishtail braided it to one side so my stripes are barely visible. Man, she's good at being a girl.

I'm going to have fun being Jemma today.

When we clatter downstairs into the kitchen, Felicia almost faints when she gets a look at us. I swear she's about two seconds away from swooning and crying, 'What have you done to my baby?' Nash almost chokes on his coffee from laughing so hard.

Jemma and I high five.

My image conscious sister was worried that people in school would think our Halloween switch was dumb¸ but even Imelda admits that it's pretty awesome.

Gage stops in the middle of the hallway when he sees us walking together. He glances between the two of us, his mouth hanging open. I can practically see the filth forming behind his eyes. “Holy mother. This is the best day of my life. Do you two wanna-”

“No,” I interrupt sharply before he can say something that will both disgust me and make me hate him forever.

He pushes his fingers through his dark spikes, pouting. I have to admit, it's cute. But still...no. “But-”

“No, Gage!” Jemma yells. She links my arm and we walk away. “What exactly were we saying no to?”
