Act Like Her

Kevin felt very awkard as he waited for Monica’s date. A mishap with the Medallion of Zulu causd them to swap bodies, and now for the next few hours, he was her. He suggested she cancel the date, but Monica begged him to go through with it, saying she really liked the boy and had a hard time getting him to agree in the first place. She just told Kevin to do his best, and that he should try to act like her It wasn’t even the date that had him nervous; it was those instructions. In fact, he was pretty sure he was already screwing it up. Monica had crazy dyed hair and often wore just as crazy outfits; he picked out some nice dress pants and a sweater. Than there were the things she said. They probably weren’t problematic for a Black woman like Monica to spout out, but while he may look like a Black woman right now, he wasn’t. And he wasn’t sure he felt comfortable saying many of the things she often did. He couldn’t really act like her, could he? He was going to screw this up
