Athena ran out to the field and joined up with the rest of the cheerleaders, as Steve took a seat on the bleachers. It was already disturbing enough that he had Tiffany Sanders' life, but now he was stuck in a guy's body? And it wasn't even any guy's body. It was Steve "The Stud" Farber's body. His reputation for sex was about as well known as Tiffany's. At times he had more than one girlfriend ... at one time. And the girlfriends knew about it. And now he was that person.
"Hey, Steve," a girl's voice said. He looked over and saw Suzie Reynolds. She was smiling at him. Steve knew that smile, as he had it himself when he was scouting for a guy that morning (when he was in his own body).
She sat down next to him and put her hand between his legs, rubbing him. Steve couldn't believe this. He had only been a guy for a few minutes and already a girl wanted to have sex with him. He knew that he had a reputation for having sex with multiple girls, but he wasn't really Steve Farber. He was only in his body. He had no interest in girls.
"Not now," he said.
Suzie looked puzzled. "What?"
"I'm just not feeling well," he said.
She stood up in a huff. "So, I'm not good enough for you. Is that it?"
"Huh?"
Then she stomped off, bursting into tears. He had no idea he could have that kind of an effect on people.
After she was gone, he returned his attention back to the cheerleaders, and saw that they had improved ... drastically.
"What took you so long?" Allison asked. Her voice was very hoarse, but she could still be understood. "If I didn't have this laryngitis, you'd be getting an earfull from me right now."
"Sorry," Athena said.
Then they got started. And they didn't do anywhere as bad as the previous day. In fact, they almost seemed like professionals. Zoe and her friends were just as stunned as Allison and Erika, but for a different reason. Even with the pointers that the former-cheerleaders gave, they couldn't have been this good at it. They have never successfully done cartwheels and somersaults before, and now they were doing them with ease. How was this possible?
Of course, there was one cheerleader that didn't seem to know anything about cheerleading, and that was Athena. And she became entirely embarrassed by the fact that she was useless. But, of course, that was because mentally she was actually Steve Farber.
After practice was over, Zoe asked Athena what was up.
Athena looked at her strangely. She couldn't believe that Zoe Gibson was supposed to be one of those freak girls. Or any of Zoe's friends, for that matter. She had always known them to be the most popular girls in school. It would be an understatement to say that she wasn't shocked at the revelation that was told to her by Steve.
"What?" Zoe asked. "What is it?"
"I can explain," Steve said, walking towards them.
"What do you want?" Zelda asked.
"It's me. Athena," he said. "Somehow I switched bodies with Steve."
"Is that true?" Zoe asked Athena.
"Yeah."
"I may have seen the guy who did this to us," Steve said.
"Who was it?" Zoe asked, interested to know.
"I didn't see his face, but he has brown hair."
"That's more than we knew before," Zoe said.
"What am I gonna do now?" Athena asked.
"Go home?" Zelda said.
"But you'd have to go to Athena's house, not yours," Zoe pointed out.
"This whole situation is fucked up. I can't do this," Athena said. Athena loved being around girls, but she never wanted to become one.
"You have to," Zoe said. "At least until we can find this brown-haired guy and make him switch you back."
