. Cat was confused and scared. "What did I do?" she thought. "I'm not the one with the green hair, the freckles, and the huge smile" Jade had stolen Cat's identity and photos, making it look like Cat

Title: Duality of Jade The Hollywood Arts High School, home to many creative souls, was known for its eccentric students. Jade West and Cat Valentine were two such souls. Jade, with her dark and mysterious aura, had a sinister approach to everything. On the contrary, Cat was bubbling with joy and innocent curiosity, the two forming an odd friendship that everyone had difficulty comprehending. One day, Jade discovered an old artifact, believed to possess the power to turn an individual into someone else's clone. Seizing an opportunity to perform the ultimate prank, Jade used it on her best friend, Cat. "Please don't turn me evil," pleaded Cat, nervously tapping her red velvet boots against the cold floor of the auditorium. Yet, her pleas fell on deaf ears as Jade began the uncanny process. Ignoring her friend's pleas, Jade gently touched the artifact to Cat's forehead, changing her once red hair began to morph into a jet-black mess of curls, identical to Jade’s. Cat’s bubbly personality started disappearing into nothingness and in its place came a dark, brooding piece of Jade. What followed was even more bizarre—Jade erased all of Cat's memories, making her believe she'd always been Jade West. As Cat came to, now identical to Jade, confusion surrounded her. Unable to recognize her own reflection, she spun around, her cold gaze landing on Jade. "Why do you look like me?" The newest Jade hissed, clenching her fists. The real Jade stared back in amusement, finding the sight of her clone both exhilarating and unsettling. The new Jade was angry. Her new identity was threatened by what she assumed was an imposter, unaware of her original innocent identity. To her, this other Jade was nothing more than a wannabe poser, trying to steal her thunder. Jade, however, enjoyed every bit of the drama until the severity of the situation dawned upon her. She had forcefully changed the life of her best friend, someone who radiated positivity, into a replica of her own dark persona. It was a prank gone wrong, she'd never intended to rob an individual of their identity permanently. And, as she saw Cat, now Jade, struggling to understand her surroundings, guilt pierced Jade’s heart. In the depths of guilt, she decided to bring Cat back to her cheerful self. After weeks of relentless attempts, Jade managed to break the curse, finally returning Cat's memory. As Cat woke up to her original self, she first frowned and hesitated, and then her eyes illuminated with appreciation for her dear friend, Jade. Jade knew their friendship had now grown stronger, and they would never forget the bizarre instances where they once shared an identity. From that day forward, Jade held pranks that could harm others in disdain, learning from her past. And Cat, she came to appreciate her unique personality and embraced it wholeheartedly. And the tale of how Jade West once changed Cat Valentine into her clone and then back into her original loving self became a part of Hollywood Art High's folklore.
