<Knock, Knock, Knock>

Taylor’s eyes fluttered hearing the knock. She had been deep asleep and she sighed and closed her eyes again as the partition door slid open.

“It’s time to get up” Hailey Wells said from the doorway.

“Ugh…what city are we even in today?” Taylor asked sleepily. She stretched out her long legs and pointed her toes yawning.

“Minneapolis today…you know the routine by now. Breakfast is waiting; we’ve got time set aside for local interviews in about 2 hours. If you want to do anything on social media you’ll have some time before initial sound check and rehearsal” Hailey ticked off the day’s itinerary.

“Thanks Hailey” Taylor said as she swung her legs out and stood up.

“No problem” Hailey replied already grabbing towels and a robe.

“You still having fun with all this?” Taylor asked her.

“Of course I am…this has been, I don’t know, amazing” Hailey answered “The question should be are you still having fun with all of this?”

Taylor Swift paused and smiled. She raised her eyebrows and laughed “Of course I am”

“It has to be so strenuous up there on stage. The amount of energy…I know it takes its toll” Hailey said.

“It’s all for the fans. They deserve a great show every time. It might be the only personal impression they’ll ever get of me. I want to give them something that they’ll enjoy and remember and if I complain; I’ll just get slayed as a whiny diva” Taylor said as she made her way to the bathroom.

“Damned if you damned if you don’t” Hailey added with a shrug.

“You have no idea…why would you or anyone really”

“I know you take it personally. How can you not?” Hailey said. She saw the quick pained look in Taylor’s blue eyes.

“Just because I’m a celebrity doesn’t mean I’m not a real person capable of having my feelings hurt” Taylor said “But I’m a status update…I’m impersonal…I’m not allowed to be a real person…I’m Taylor. Everybody knows me better than I know me. There are experts out there who can tell you everything I’m feeling before I even know something has happened”

“It must get old” Hailey said.

“It certainly does” Taylor said “I don’t want to sound like the oh poor me!” She laughed “I’m well compensated haha…and I knew what I was getting into. My wildest dream you know…the fame”

Hailey just nodded. She was officially titled as Assistant Tour Manager but at 27, she was really just a personal assistant. She had gotten to know Taylor over the last several months and genuinely liked her as a person.

“I’d just like a day off though you know” Taylor said as she brushed her teeth.

“Well, it’s still another 3 weeks to go” Hailey said as Taylor rolled her eyes.

“Maybe I’d like the chance to get to watch one of my shows?” Taylor said spitting into the sink.

“Haha how would that work?” Hailey laughed.

“I have no idea…maybe I’ll hire one of my drag queen impersonators to perform my entire show and see if anyone notices. I’ll get some seats and just rock out in the crowd. Those guys are really good!” she joked.

Hailey just smiled.

“Or maybe I’ll get someone who knows every word and every step of my show to perform. Kind of like an understudy” Taylor said. She eyed Hailey up and down “You know what…you know every word and every step”

Hailey nearly spit out her coffee “What?!” she laughed “I think people would notice the difference in our looks! I’m not exactly twinning with you!”

Hailey was 5’2” and about 135 pounds. She had an ample backside and large breasts for her size. She had a cute face framed by shoulder length brownish blonde hair that she usually wore in a ponytail. She also wore a pair of black framed glasses and was still plagued by an occasional pimple on her cheeks or forehead making her look even younger than her 27 years.

“Could imagine being up on stage?” Taylor asked her.

“Oh my God I’d pass out!” Hailey said “80,000 people watching my every move?!”

“Well when you put it like that” Taylor laughed “But with the stage lights, you actually can’t see much into the crowd beyond a few rows.

“Yeah…I was in choir in high school” Hailey joked.

“See! You have experience!” Taylor laughed as she went into the shower.

“Yeah…200 people in a high school gym is the exact same thing as what you do every night” Hailey said as she cleaned up and put things into place.

“Would you switch places with me?” Taylor asked.

Hailey was caught off guard and unsure of how to answer at first. A lot of thoughts ran through her head for really a simple question “Fame, money, looks, loss of privacy, scrutiny…” she thought before she simply said “Sure”

“You would?” Taylor asked over the hiss of water.

“Yes” Hailey said louder “Yes I would switch places with you”

“Haha” Taylor just laughed “Awesome!”

It was an odd ending to their conversation Hailey thought as she made her way to other rooms to get breakfast ready. Taylor soon came out in a robe and a towel wrapped around her head drying her hair. She padded barefoot to the table and sat down to her food and juice. She watched Hailey scurry about getting things ready while answering texts. “I don’t know if I have the energy to be you” Taylor laughed.

“What?” Hailey replied.

“When we switch places…you’re always so busy” Taylor smiled.

“Are…are you still thinking about that?” Hailey asked.

Taylor leaned forward and nodded “Of course I am…you still want to do it right?”

“But switching bodies is impossible” Hailey said flatly.

“No it isn’t” Taylor replied. “It’s completely possible”

“But…if that were the case why isn’t all over the place” Hailey replied.

“It’s not done very often and the people who do it just don’t want it to get out” Taylor responded casually.

“So it’s something for like the super-rich” Hailey laughed.

“Nope…not at all…you’ll understand once it happens though” Taylor said.

“But…No…wait a second…you’re serious!” Hailey said seeing the look on Taylor’s face.

“Of course I’m serious. I wouldn’t just ask anybody to do this Hailey. I obviously trust you but if you want me to get a lawyer down here to write us up a contract I can do that” Taylor said laughing and standing up.

“I can’t be you” Hailey stammered. “It’s too much. I’ll screw up. I’ll pass out. I can’t stand up in front of thousands of people singing and dancing”

“No you won’t because you’ll actually be me. You’ll have all my skills and more importantly, you’ll belong up on a stage. You’ll have my nerves...my willingness to perform will be yours” Taylor said.

“But I…” Hailey managed. Her head was spinning, her stomach was floating “What am I doing? What is she saying? What is happening?” ran through her head.

Taylor just stood by patiently. She had a smile on her face as she watched Hailey process the situation. “Are you okay?”

Hailey felt dizzy and light headed “I need to sit down” she said collapsing hard into a chair.

She looked over at Taylor “I’m seriously going to be Taylor Swift”

Taylor just nodded slowly “Seriously” she said before beginning to giggle. “And hey…don’t forget; I’m going to be Hailey!”

“Haha…what a treat for you” Hailey replied sarcastically.

“What are you talking about? I’m looking forward to it! I wouldn’t have asked you if I didn’t want it to happen” Taylor reminded her. “It’ll just be for a little over a month; just until the U.S. part of the tour is over. You’ll be the star and I’ll be your assistant”

“Wake me up from this dream” Haley said half sarcastic and half realistic.

“I’ll give you some time to take it in before we start…take your time. You might want to be the one in the robe though once we start. I’m quite a bit bigger than you and I‘m afraid you’ll ruin your clothes when you turn into me”

“You mean we physically change?!” Hailey said.

“Yeah…it’s a real physical change…not just mental where we close our eyes and you pop yours open and you’re in my body. We actually change. Like your feet will grow and turn into mine. Your legs will grow…you get the picture”

“Um…yeah, I guess I do” Hailey replied looking down at her tight jeans and black boots laced up.

“I’m going to be short!” Taylor laughed.

“And I’m going to be a giant” Hailey said thinking about Taylor’s natural height plus the heeled boots she wore on stage.

Taylor walked out but soon came back with a robe that matched her own which she lay over the back of a chair.

“I can’t believe I’m doing this” Hailey said shaking her head as she unlaced her boots and took them off. She slipped her socks off as well before standing up and unfastening her pants “This had better not be just some elaborate practical joke”

“No!” Taylor said “No tricks…this is absolutely just between us; you’ll see”

Hailey took off her white t-shirt before turning her back and taking off her cream colored bra and panties and slipping the robe up and on, closing it around her waist.

Taylor smiled “I’m so excited!” she said bouncing up and down a few times. She looked down at Hailey’s boots “I’m going to be wearing those…that’ll be my size and my style”

Hailey fidgeted nervously.

“Are you ready?” Taylor asked enthusiastically.

Hailey nodded and smiled nervously “As ready as I’ll ever be…God I can’t believe this is actually happening”

Taylor picked up her phone and read:

“Taylor Alison Swift needs the help of Hailey Marie Wells.

Taylor cannot finish the last three weeks of her U.S. tour without the help of Hailey.

Switch their bodies; Taylor will become Hailey and Hailey will become Taylor until the tour is finished.

Once the goal of this spell has been achieved, Taylor will return to her body and Hailey will return to hers.

We invoke this spell for this specific task…

One person to another, bodies travel lightly

Switch their bodies and their lives ever so slightly

Complete the task at hand to complete this spell

Until it’s done in each other you shall dwell”

“That…that’s it?” Hailey said.

Taylor put her phone aside and nodded “Yep; that’s it”

Hailey looked down. She wiggled and lifted her toes rocking back and forth until she felt her stomach flutter. Her throat closed up tight and she held her breath.

Taylor’s lips parted and her eyes widened as she too felt a tingle pass through her body. She laughed and put her hands to her middle “I think it’s starting!”

Hailey nodded nervously, her brow knitting. She was trying to smile but her face gave off more an expression of worry.

Hailey felt movement in her shoulders. It felt like she was taking in a deep breath but she was still holding hers. Her leg muscles began to stretch. Hailey was beginning to grow.

She sensed movement. Her own body was moving without her consent. Hailey’s jaw dropped and she laughed in spite of herself “Oh My God I think it’s working! I feel all funny and I think I’m…”

Taylor nodded with encouragement “Say it!”

“I think I’m growing!” Hailey spit out quickly.

“I think you are too!” Taylor said happily “Because I think I’m shrinking haha! My muscles feel all tight. I feel like I’m getting pressed down. Like invisible hands are pressing down on my shoulders”

Hailey sized Taylor up “It doesn’t seem like we’re as far apart as we used to be”

“I know! Isn’t it exciting?!” Taylor responded.

“Yeah…you know what? It is exciting” Hailey finally admitted.

“Yes! See! That’s the spirit!”

“Haha I’m going to be Taylor Swift! Taylor fucking Swift!” Hailey said blushing slightly. “I mean…”

“You’re going to be world famous” Taylor said. “Very few people can say that but for the next three weeks; you will be”

“And you won’t be” Hailey said.

“Nope; I’ll be anonymous haha. I can watch from the sidelines. I can walk down the street for the next three weeks and not be bothered” Taylor admitted “And I’m looking forward to that”

As Hailey felt herself lift up even higher, she pulled back the bottom of her robe exposing her right leg. “Oh My Gosh! That’s doesn’t look like my leg!”

Taylor laughed “No…it wouldn’t and it shouldn’t! It should look more like my leg although right now it’s kind of both haha”

Hailey wrapped her hand around her thigh “It feels tighter yet bigger!”

“It will…don’t stress about it now” Taylor said.

“I’m not stressing it’s just…” she stuck her leg out further “Look at me!”

“I am looking at you!” Taylor laughed again.

Taylor felt another tightening of her muscles; this time it was more in her sides and back as she shrank down another inch “Damn…you’re going to overtake me any second now”

Hailey looked ahead “Yeah…you’re just barely taller than me now”

“I’ve only got you by an inch or two and then after that it’ll be bye-bye tall Taylor” Taylor said.

“And hello short Hailey!” Hailey added. “My whole body feels different”

“I know right! It doesn’t hurt at all but I get these tingles and it feels like, I don’t know”

“Like you’re being molded like clay” Hailey said to Taylor nodding.

Taylor shifted a bit and blushed looking over her shoulder. She could feel her ass growing; plumping up and outward into Hailey’s more ample rear.

She could feel her thighs touching, getting softer along the insides as they changed into Hailey’s thighs. The muscle tone she had built up by years of dancing and performing was simply not there anymore.

Taylor looked down at her feet. Her size 8.5 feet had shrank down smaller. Her wide big toes looked smaller and narrower and the nails atop them looked more oval in shape. All of her toes were smaller and the nail polish on them had changed from a very professional pedicured burgundy to a more uneven light purple color.

By the time she looked back up, she squealed in joy as she looked up to Hailey.

Hailey had been looking down as well when she heard the scream of happiness. She too had been examining her own feet. Feet that were bigger and wider than before with toes that were also wider with flat and round nails darkening in color from purple to burgundy. Her big toes widened and the others grew slightly longer as well as her feet changed into Taylor’s feet.

Upon hearing Taylor she looked up quickly “What?!” she asked before realizing the reversal that had provoked the outcry “Oh! Haha! Look at us! I’m taller than you…I never. Ever! Thought I’d say that”

“And we are never, ever getting back to taller!” Taylor sang out playfully.

“Like, ever” Hailey laughed.

She sized Taylor up again “Dang…it looks so different from here” Hailey said. “You look so different already”

“Well so do you” Taylor added as she felt her calves reshaping shorter and bit thicker. “I could get to like this” she admitted.

“Oh I don’t know about that so don’t talk too soon” Hailey teased. “It’s not easy being short”

“I guess I’m going to find out. I’ll get some time to explore” Taylor said still getting smaller.

Hailey flipped her robe back exposing both her legs “Wow” was all she said.

Her legs were Taylor’s Swift’s legs. Long and trim, professionally trained and toned but with just the right amount of heft and curve and ready to be put on display every night in shiny tights and thigh high boots. The object of desire for thousands of men and, frankly, women too.

Hailey felt her hips shifting and her ass toning up and getting smaller and tighter. “I’m going to feel naked out there!” she said.

“No you won’t” Taylor responded “You’re barely going to have to think about what you’re wearing. It’s the same costumes every night and you’re going to ruin several pairs of tights every show. They slap them on you and basically rip you out of them. A couple of industrial stitches every time in the costumes too. You’re not going to fall out of them I promise”

Hailey gave a satisfied smile just as an indescribable warmth hit her mid-section “Oh!” she said surprised as she pressed down through the robe.

She could feel herself changing into Taylor in the most intimate way possible. One meeting of their eyes confirmed that Taylor felt it too.

Taylor felt a pressure and then felt her skin begin to move. Small hairs poked through the skin along the sides and top of her previously waxed and maintained area. Her clit moved and shifted as her vagina and vulva morphed. “Whoa” was all she said with a head shake.

Hailey too felt her clit move and lift, engorging with excitement as her hair vanished leaving a smooth mound behind as moisture flowed forward to lubricate her changing body “Oh my God” she added as just as quickly as it started, the warmth dissipated.

Taylor blushed and looked down as she licked her lips. Hailey shuffled her feet nervously knowing what had just happened between them and waiting for the next change to take effect to shift the attention.

Taylor took in a deep breath and realized that the gentle pressure she had felt on her shoulder and leg muscles had stopped “I think I’m at my new size” she said looking up, way up, to Hailey.

Hailey rolled her shoulders feeling different “I think you’re right. I don’t have that growing sensation I was feeling anymore. I think I’ve stopped” she looked around the room from her new vantage point “God you look small”

“Hey!” Taylor faked outrage “I kind of like it…it’s definitely a change of pace”

“We should take a picture to show you while you still look like yourself in the face but yet being short Taylor” Hailey teased.

“No pictures mid process” Taylor said. “Only once we’re done. But I know we could actually get away with it and just say it’s photo shopped”

“You’re so well known for being tall” Hailey added. “It would have to be an obvious fake haha”

“You’re so right! My height…statuesque…blah!” Taylor stuck her tongue out in disgust.

“It feels good though” Hailey admitted looking at her super long legs “I never thought I’d ever have a view like this. My stubby little legs…” she shook her head.

“…Are super cute and they’re all mine for now” Taylor added.

“Along with my chunky butt!” Hailey said.

Taylor grabbed her cheeks with both hands through the terrycloth robe and squeezed them, smiling and doing a goofy dance “I see turning into you has not improved my dancing skills”

“No…sorry…I can’t help you out there” Hailey admitted.

With their torsos already sized, it was the details that began to come to them.

Taylor’s stomach softened. Her figure 8 was already gone but now her belly and waist softened down a bit more with her wider hips and more ample rear.

Hailey’s stomach however, tightened up. Flattening down, toning up, ab muscles coming forward. “I know you do a lot of running and cardio but damn you’re in good shape”

“Thanks” Taylor said tucking her hair back.

“Sorry I don’t work out nearly as often as I should” Hailey said.

“It’s fine. I’m perfectly fine with all of this. You know I am” Taylor said “Everyone is allowed to be themselves; except for us who get to be each other but you’re authentic. I’m getting a real body”

“Your body is quite real to me haha” Hailey added.

“It’s nothing as special as people want to make it out to be and every single inch of it is scrutinized on a daily basis on more websites than I can ever visit in a lifetime” Taylor admitted. “I’ve heard so many hateful and hurtful comments about my looks and my songs and well, everything” She looked up “I think I’m going to enjoy not being Taylor Swift for a few weeks”

Hailey could just nod and smile understanding, knowing every move she would make would be dissected. “Can you imagine the headlines if I trip and fall onstage?!”

“Please don’t” Taylor laughed “But if you get my gracefulness in this swap, I can’t guarantee that you won’t fall off the stage some night”

“Well that’s a comforting thought” Hailey replied. She felt a tightness in her chest and she looked down, then looked back up deadpan.

Taylor couldn’t hold that look. As she felt changes reach her chest, she looked down and then back up with a classic trademark Taylor look of surprise and shock. Only this time, it was because her breasts were growing.

Taylor could feel her skin stretching. Extra weight and mass built up pushing her breasts out larger. The gravity of them pulled them down from her usual high perch to a lower platform. Her breasts in their now larger state became teardrop shaped. Her nipples grew bigger as well “Oh…my…Lord” she said quietly. She spread her robe out and put her hands beneath them, hefting them up, squishing them in together; feeling the difference in weight and size.

She laughed, a joyful look on her face as she looked up to Hailey “Oh my Gosh Hailey! I’ve got your boobs!”

Hailey had to laugh hearing the just outright joy coming from her swap partner.

She had experienced the opposite effect. She could feel her skin tightening as weight and mass disappeared from her body. Her breasts lifting up higher and smaller on her thinner frame. Her nipples got smaller but still stood at attention as they became Taylor’s 34B’s as opposed to her own 36D’s.

Hailey couldn’t help herself from cupping the smaller breasts in her hands, able to hold and cover them completely. They bounced as she bounced but didn’t sway and flop like her normal breasts would. “I could run and not put my eye out!”

“Two sports bras huh” Taylor said still with her hands on her large breasts. She laughed “And you never thought you’d have long legs…I never thought I’d have big boobs!”

The changes moved over their sides and backs, up to their shoulders and then down their arms.

Taylor’s long arms shrank back even more than they had with her reduction in height. They too grew softer and her hands began to shrink down as well. Her long fingers got shorter and a bit thicker. Her burgundy manicure faded as her nails changed shape to a more oval look. Hailey wore no fingernail polish and now, neither did Taylor.

She ran her fingers over her palms detecting the different skin tone she now had. Her right index finger quivered slightly as she held her fingers apart, examining each one.

Hailey had felt her back and sides tighten, her shoulders rose up and her arms lengthened. “Wow…super long…I can reach anything haha”

She watched burgundy polish appear; darkening her flattening nails out as her fingers grew long and thin.

Hailey held up her thumb close to her eye watching the whorls and lines rearrange “We even swapped fingerprints”

Taylor nodded “It’s getting close now…basically just my head on your body now”

“Which is honestly really freaky and kind of disturbing” Hailey laughed.

As she laughed, the sound and tone of her laugh changed; then the pattern and rhythm of it changed. By the time she stopped, she was laughing like Taylor.

Taylor cocked her head and smiled a genuine smile of happiness and shock hearing her laugh coming out of someone else. “My voice is my fame” she said just as she felt her throat tighten up and a tickle form in the back causing her to cough.

Hailey put her hands up to her neck as she put her chin up. She ran her fingers down her throat feeling a surge of energy in the area.

“If I have your voice” Hailey said in Taylor’s clear voice “Then I have your ticket to your fans hearts”

“If I…” Taylor started but stopped upon hearing her voice coming out so different; so flat “Whoa” she looked around. “Wow”

Hailey looked at her expectantly as she walked around “La, la, la, la, la, la, laaaaaaaa”

“That sounds nothing like you” Hailey confirmed.

“I know” Taylor said “I can’t sing” she added flatly.

Hailey just shook her head “Nope. Never could”

“I’ve sang all my life. That was my dream…my music” she looked at her hands “I can’t play guitar or piano either anymore”

“Nope” Hailey said looking at her own and realizing the talent and power she now possessed “I have the voice and musical ability of Taylor Swift…along with her body. Her whole life is mine…she gave it to me!” she thought.

“I gave away my entire life” Taylor realized “She has full access to my bank accounts and my houses. My own security guards would turn me away if I just walked up. No one would ever believe me or her if we tried to tell the truth. She’s Taylor Swift now…not me. I’m just Hailey Wells now, a nobody, which is both exciting and scary as Hell”

“You belong with me” Hailey sang the line in perfect pitch, tone and vibrato. “It comes so naturally” she added giddily.

Taylor’s mouth went up and down silently twice just as she felt her long wavy blonde hair begin to pull up. Her bangs swept sway exposing her forehead as a simple side part worked into her darkening hair. A brownish tinge worked in as it straightened and pulled up to just above her shoulders, very much in Hailey’s style minus the short ponytail.

Taylor’s face began to compress down; her features getting smaller and beginning to reshape.

Her cheeks popped out rounder first, but were quickly followed by her chin and jaw coming up and in. A few small pimples broke out across her cheeks, flaring up in her nervousness.

Taylor’s cat-like blue eyes began to slide closer in towards the bridge of her now shrinking nose. Her eyelashes and eyebrows both thinned as her eyes darkened to a hazel shade of brown and she blinked away the dryness.

Taylor’s ears, already relatively small, got even smaller. Her straight lined nose thinned at the top and gained a slight slope to a more prominent tip but the biggest change was to her mouth.

Taylor’s large teeth shuddered as they shrank down much smaller “Oh this feels so weird!” she said as her teeth shifted along her gums. Her tongue shrank down as her lips thinned, parted slightly as a numbness hit them but quickly passed.

Hailey watched in shock as Taylor Swift’s face changed into her own before her eyes.

She felt a tickle along her scalp before it felt like all the muscles on her face pulled back.

As her hair lightened and grew long and wavy, bangs swept forward covering her forehead like a heavy blanket. Her chin and jaw stretched out along with her cheeks. Both women only had a single piercing in their ears so it was an easy transition as Hailey’s grew slightly larger.

Her cheeks pulled out and she could feel her eyes pulling out wider as well in a more cat like set. Her hazel eyes lightening to blue as her eyebrows and eyelashes thickened and went to totally on point.

Hailey wiggled her nose as the slope pulled back into Taylor’s straight lined nose. Her lips and mouth went numb as they began to grow larger. Her tongue grew first as her teeth began to grow larger and larger shifting along her expanding gum line.

Her lips plumped as they spread and she pursed her lips into a kissy face, in a symbolic way kissing her old life goodbye.

Both women shivered from head to toe. They both realized that their transformation was complete.

“It’s over!” Hailey laughed “I’m you!” she began to slap excitedly at her body and jump up and down. “Ha Ha! I’m you, I’m you, I’m you!!!! I’m really you! It really worked I didn’t think it would work but it did I thought you were crazy to even bring up something sooooo impossible sounding in the first place but look at me and and look at you you’re me I mean you’re really totally me!” Hailey couldn’t stop her run on sentence of rambling as her robe flapped about her tall skinny body.

Taylor just smiled taking a much more subdued approach to her new reality. She examined herself again before smirking watching the energy coming from Hailey. She walked to the mirror across the room feeling her body sway and move differently with her enhanced curves and short legs. She stopped at seeing her face “Wow”

Hailey saw her in front of the mirror and walked over as well.

“It really stops you. Looking into a mirror and seeing a different face looking back” Taylor said running a hand up over her soft cheek. She smiled at seeing how much taller Hailey was as she stepped into the picture “Oh my God look at you! You’re a giant!”

“You were this tall just minutes ago” Hailey reminded her.

“I know that but I guess I’ve already adjusted my sight lines haha and now I have to look up at you…and well, frankly just about everyone now” Taylor admitted as she watched Hailey play with her bangs.

“Yeah…get used to it!” Hailey agreed “I’m on the other side of the coin now…looking down at the short people of the world”

Both of their phones were going off. “Looks like we’re going to have to get started Miss Swift” Taylor said “Time to get dressed”

Hailey took off her glasses finally and handed them over “You’re going to need these more than me”

“You’ll have your own too” Taylor reminded her “But you don’t need them all the time” she added taking out her earrings.

They swapped jewelry before dropping the robes and getting dressed.

It was easy for Taylor, just a matter of picking up the things Hailey had taken off but for Hailey, it meant picking out her first outfit to wear as Taylor.

Taylor put on her panties and bra, white t-shirt and jeans before sitting down to slip on her socks and boots. Lacing them up she said “These feel really comfy”

“They are! That’s why I wear them so much” Hailey told her.

Taylor picked up the clipboard and saw the itinerary for the day “Still have a half hour before we have to head to conference room B for your interviews”

Hailey smiled going through the racks of clothing.

“I think I’m going to go to Starbucks” Taylor announced excitedly.

“Ok” Hailey replied before then smiling “Oh…yeah haha. Enjoy yourself…Hailey!” she added with a giggle. “I’ll meet you downstairs”

“Pick out something adorable” Taylor said as she headed to the door.

“Don’t worry, I will” Hailey called back eyeing a pair of super short shorts.

Taylor stepped out into the hallway. The two guards, Mike and Brad stood by the door like always. Mike nodded “Hey Hailey”

“Mike!” Taylor said way too loud and nervous before catching herself and laughing “Um, I’m going to run to Starbucks do you want anything?’

“Nah I’m good” Mike replied.

“Me too” Brad added.

“I’m going to meet Taylor downstairs if you could just walk her to Conference room B when she’s ready”

“Of course…see ya later” Mike said.

Taylor walked down the hall, her eyes wide, “I’M ESCAPING!” she thought playfully as she hit the elevator button down.
