**Unexpected Clothes Swap**

On a lazy Sunday afternoon, 15-year-old Ethan decided to wander into the local department store. It was the final week of summer break, and school was just around the corner. He needed some new clothes and thought he’d check out some items he had seen on display the previous week. Eager to avoid any fashion faux pas, he grabbed a few shirts and a pair of trousers, and headed towards the fitting rooms. The fitting room was small but well-lit, with three walls and a curtain that barely touched the floor. Standing in front of the mirror, Ethan tried on a stylish blue shirt and a pair of dark jeans. Admiring the snug fit, he turned slightly to the side to check the back view and noticed a burst of color peeking from behind him. Curiosity got the better of him. He turned around fully to see a bright orange bra and matching panties neatly placed on the bench. He laughed to himself, wondering why anyone would leave something so personal behind. But that laughter slowly turned into intrigue. What would it feel like to try them on? Ethan hesitated for a moment, glancing at the curtain-covered door, before curiosity outweighed caution. He shed his clothes and slipped on the panties, finding them surprisingly snug but comfortable. It took him a little longer to figure out the bra, but once he did, he could see that they fit quite well, despite feeling a bit snug around his chest. He chuckled at his reflection, entertained by his unexpected and playful transformation. Just as he decided he’d had enough fun, Ethan turned to retrieve his clothes—but they were gone. Alarmed, he looked around frantically, wondering if he had misplaced them. All of a sudden, he heard a light giggle through the partition separating his fitting room from the next. His eyes dropped to the floor, where he saw a summery dress and a pair of red sandals slid under the partition. Grateful for any clothing, he pulled on the dress, which ended well above his knees, and slipped into the red sandals. He took a deep breath, adjusted the unfamiliar garments around his body, and left the fitting room with a mixture of dread and amusement. As he stepped out, he thought he caught a glimpse of someone in his clothes hastily exiting. He wanted to chase them, but before he had the chance, a boy about his age appeared in front of him. “There you are, Emily!” the boy said with a warm smile. “Are you ready to head out?” Realizing that this must be the boyfriend of the girl whose clothes he was now wearing, Ethan froze for a moment. He considered his options and then simply nodded. The boy took his hand, making him blush slightly, and guided him out of the department store. As they walked, the boy handed him a smartphone encased in a pink cover. Bewildered, Ethan unlocked it and saw a new text message from his own number. It read: “Enjoy being a girl for a bit! ;)” Ethan sighed quietly, the reality of his situation sinking in. As bizarre and unnerving as this twist of events was, he reasoned there wasn’t much he could do at this moment but play along. To his mild surprise, he found himself somewhat comforted by his unexpected ‘boyfriend’. The boy, whose name he learned was Jake, seemed genuinely nice and caring. It was a peculiar silver lining in an otherwise surreal situation. And as they walked hand in hand, Ethan couldn't help but feel a curious blend of excitement and trepidation about the unusual adventure that lay ahead.
