Matthew Evans was the epitome of awkward adolescence. At 16 years old, he hailed from the quaint, often-overlooked state of Alabama. His lanky frame was eternally draped in oversized t-shirts and baggy khaki cargo pants. His voice still bore the residual crackles of boyhood, a characteristic which abruptly made appearances in seemingly average conversations. He invariably wore baggy clothes that appeared to be in a permanent state of autumness. Matthew wasn't a stunning spectacle but his simplicity bore a freeing aura. With a mop of untamed black hair, wild as the wilderness and a smattering of freckles across his nose, he was certainly not forgettable. Like many boys his age, the allure of sleep took him quickly after gaming till late hours of the night.
Cocooned safely within the confines of his bed, rational thoughts fled in the face of fantastical dreams. However, what would transpire the next morning would defy any possible rationale.
Matthew awoke, not in his cozy bedroom, but in an extravagant penthouse suite overlooking the skyline of New York City. He wasn't in his own body, but in the body of a woman named Louisa, a successful, 45-year-old real estate mogul - a woman who was, alarmingly, older than his very own parents, each in their early 40s.
Notably, Louisa was impeccably dressed, donning a tailored black suit paired with sparkling stilettos. The stunning Chanel bag that sat to her side was more luxurious than anything in Matthew’s world. She was at a posh restaurant, her red manicured fingers resting lightly against a crystal glass of Chardonnay, a plate with hints of lobster bisque residue before her.
She wore a simple diamond necklace and a pair of pearl earrings rested in her ears in stark contrast to her dramatically applied scarlet lipstick and mascara-framed eyes. Matthew could feel the hint of a blush highlighting his newly acquired cheeks as he realized that he was on a romantic date.
"Um..." Matthew muttered, forcing Louisa’s honeyed voice to break the silence, "what's taking you so long, Robert?" It was odd for Matthew to hear the woman’s voice replace his own, yet he couldn’t help but straighten the suit jacket or adjust the stiletto that pinched a bit more than he was comfortable with. It was an unbidden reaction, like breathing.
"I need a minute," he stated, forcing a smile before excusing himself to the powder room.
Inside the bathroom, the change in anatomy posed a strange challenge. He was perplexed for a moment, even more so when he failed to find what was supposed to be there. But oddly enough, it didn’t feel entirely wrong. Awkward and different, yes, but not exactly unpleasant.
His reflection demonstrated a beautiful woman. Everywhere his own body had been lacking, her's seemed to outperform. He felt a mixture of emotions, bewilderment being the most prominent.
Then, he felt an unexpected vibration against his thigh. Startled, he fished out a sleek iPhone from her purse. His breath hitched when he sees his old number flashing on the screen.
Nervously, he answered, "Hello?"
A familiar voice, his voice, came through the receiver. "Hey Matthew, or should I say Louisa?” A laugh bubbled on the other end. “You should know that it's permanent. Have fun with your new life."
Silence hovered over the line as the voice, his former voice, chuckled before the call ended, leaving him with his thoughts... and his new life, dressed in Louisa's suit, stilettos and all.

Prompt: Story: Write me a story the way I type about a random 16 year old boy with a description of the boy, his name, his age, what state he's from, what he's wearing, what he sounds like, what he looks like, what he's doing when he goes to bed. Have him wake up the next day in the body of a woman on a date. Include the state the woman lives in, her name, her age, have him be older than his mom and dad and include their ages, what she's wearing shoes included, what purse or bag she has, what she's eating and drinking, her nail polish if any, nail polish, jewelry, makeup, lipstick, if she's with a man or another woman. Please have the boy try to freak out but unwillingly say something about what's taking the man or woman the woman is with so long to come back and have it be in quoted text. Please have the boy unwillingly bend down adjusting the shoes the woman was wearing and adjusting other parts of her outfit. He has to excuse himself from the date to use the bathroom. Once inside the bathroom, go into detail on how different it feels to him to have nothing between his legs, and how different it is from his old body. Then her phone rings with his old number. He answers it. The woman in his body explains that the swap is permanent and to have fun with your new life.
