She didn't know how to dress in Lucas' clothes and the boys at school laughed at her. But she stuck it out and eventually they became friends. The Ugly Girl In School Turns Into The Pretty Girl On T

Once upon a time, Sarah Fitzpatrick, the queen of Meadow High, was the epitome of beauty and popularity. With her sun-kissed skin, long, bouncy blonde locks, and an impeccable sense of style that only included elegant designer pieces, she was the envy of every girl and the dream of every guy. On the opposite end of the popularity spectrum was Lucas Bradford, all gangly limbs, deathly pale skin, a face marred with relentless acne, and a head full of greasy raven-black hair. He wrapped his tall, lanky figure in American Eagle attire and gray Hanes briefs, which did little to increase his appeal. Lucas was on the ice hockey team, not because of extraordinary skills, but because it was the only thing that allowed him to escape his otherwise dull existence. Secretly, and hopelessly, Lucas harbored a crush on Sarah, his love going unnoticed, except for the occasional rejection when he gathered the courage to approach her. One night, feeling especially dejected following yet another sneer from Sarah, Lucas found himself mumbling a wish before he fell asleep: if he could just switch lives with Sarah for a day, maybe he could have a shot at happiness, and maybe Sarah could understand his plight. As dawn, broke, the unexpected, the unthinkable happened. Sarah woke up, horrified, as she found herself in Lucas's room, inside Lucas's body, featuring his greasy hair, his acne, his glasses, and everything else. At the same time, Lucas woke up to find himself in a room of pastel shades and plush cushions and a body that was no longer his, looking like a dream. Weighed down by a mix of shock and ecstasy, Lucas spent his day living the star life. Walking down the corridors of Meadow High, he enjoyed the warmth of admiration and envy that he had never felt before. Attending classes with attention directed at him was surreal. Meanwhile, Sarah had the shock of her life. For once, she was insignificant, the eyes that once stared with envy and admiration, now looked past her. She was no longer the queen; she was the loner. And she was stuck with Lucas's practice and the grueling drills on the hockey field. Though initially horrified, as day turned to night, Sarah began to understand the pain Lucas always concealed. She felt the sting of rejection, the emptiness of loneliness, and the harsh realities that Lucas dealt with daily. As Lucas lay on Sarah's comfortable king-sized bed that night, for the first time, he felt a tug at his heart. Comprehending the pressures and expectations that came with being the prettiest girl in school, he felt a pang of guilt for having wished for this switch. In an uncanny turn of events, both Lucas and Sarah found themselves whispering the same wish before they fell asleep, hoping to wake up in their bodies and live their lives, however imperfect they were. The next morning, they did. Lucas, back with his acne and greasy hair, and Sarah, as beautiful and popular as always. However, something changed after that day. Sarah, with a newfound understanding, started treating Lucas with kindness, and Lucas, embracing his imperfections, stopped chasing the illusion of happiness in being someone else. It took an unexpected body switch to show them the importance of walking a mile in another's shoes.
