• THE SWITCH: 100 DAYS OF ME AND YOU    MY MORTAL ENEMY

  Grayham’s POVI’m not sure if I handled the situation well because Max left in a fit of rage but Gregory went back up and Miles had settled in the café.Right now, he was curled up in a booth on the last row. There was a distant look in his eyes and I couldn’t help but imagine what was going through his mind.If I had a best friend and he walked out on me the way Max just did, I’d be troubled, and worst, I’d be more troubled if I was asked to leave my home but maybe, I’d give the people involved a break because they had no idea who I was.“I’ll go check up on the people,” I told Miles. He nodded and I went to the second floor.When I reached, I noticed that families were hurled up together in corners while some men stood and were discussing by the window. The children were seated in front of their parents.There were about fifty people in the hall. Gregory was able to put down a trampoline for them to sit on and since we don’t have many blankets, only the kids get to be covered.Also,

• THE SWITCH: 100 DAYS OF ME AND YOU    THE BROKEN BRIDGE

  Grayham’s POVI went out to meet Miles and the volunteers trooped out to join me. The first spectacle that caught their eyes was the face of the man they hated the most.They all turned to me with rage burning in their eyes. “What’s he doing here?” One of the men asked.I sighed and then shook my head. I didn’t even know how I was going to respond to the situation and what the hell was Miles thinking when he showed up like this knowing that he had my face.Eric faced Miles. “You’re here to make another donation?” You’re here to taunt us and then slap money on our faces?”“Yeah!” The group charged.“Get out of here!”They began to throw curses at him.I didn’t know whether Miles didn’t get the message or he just chose to be stubborn because he ignored all the hateful reactions and marched up to me.“The bridge is broken. The water is going to be here any moment from now.” He said.“So you came here to help us?” Eric laughed. “Okay then. Where is your chopper, Mr. Wilson? I’m sure it d

  Mile’s POVThe knocks on my door persisted and I didn’t give a response.“Who the fuck is that?” I fired when the knocking didn’t cease.“It’s Aaron sir.” He responded from the outside.I sighed and wiped my forehead delicately. It then occurred to me that I had sent the messenger on an errand.“Come in,” I replied and he immediately pushed the door inside.He walked to me and dropped the cup of coffee on the table. He was about to leave when I noticed the drink. It was darker.“What the fuck is this?” I held the cup.Aaron turned around, his eyes rolling. “Your coffee sir.”“How many spoonfuls of milk did you add?” I was trying to stay calm because there was this rage forming inside me and a little push might send me exploding.“I didn’t count.” He said and lowered his head.I dropped the cup on the table and rose to my feet. “You didn’t count? And you had the nerve to say that to my face? You know how I like my coffee. With lots of fucking milk, you idiot!” I raised my voice.Aaron

• THE SWITCH: 100 DAYS OF ME AND YOU    GOD, HELP ME!

  Mile’s POVWe stepped out of the library and stood across the street to wait for a cab. Graham wouldn’t stop staring at the book in my possession so I handed it over to him without uttering a word.As soon as he got it, Grayham began to open the book and then fiddle with the pages. A few moments later, there was an unsatisfactory look on his face.Then he finally turned to me. “All I can see here are lists of infectious diseases and plaques that affected the city years ago.” He looked at me. “I’m not even sure if this book will help.” He sighed.I watched him while my brows furrowed with rage. “I thought you were so sure the book was going to help.”Grayham arched a brow. “Look, man. If there’s something else eating you up aside from the stupid thought that I was stealing your dumb boyfriend then say it out.”“Cut the crap!” I fired back. “Do you think I care about Gregory, if I had wanted to be with him, I would have done that long before this swap happened.”“Then what’s the problem

• THE SWITCH: 100 DAYS OF ME AND YOU    THE OLD LIBRARY

  Grayham’s POVI stood across the street and wondered why he was taking so long to show up. He replied to my text that he was going to show up in thirty minutes and now, I’ve been waiting for over forty minutes.Is this how it feels to be kept waiting?I sighed and was about to go and sit around the kiosk behind me when I spotted a black cab pulling up.I had a deep conviction that Miles was inside the car so I waited for the vehicle to reach me. The car finally pulled up right in front of me. The windshield was lowered and I saw Miles seated at the back seat.I opened the door, entered the back seat, and joined him.“Hey!” I said while adjusting to the vehicle.Miles didn’t utter a word.I wasn’t sure whether he was mad or just being cold because he kept a straight face and was looking at the driver’s head.“What did you find?” He asked without looking at me.I was now convinced that something was bothering him but if there was anyone who should be bothered right now then it should be

• THE SWITCH: 100 DAYS OF ME AND YOU    ASHAMED AND HAUNTED

  Mile’s POVEnergy!More energy than I have ever experienced coursed through my veins just when I dropped the nearly empty bottle of vodka on the table.“Yeah!” I charged with clenched fists.Several congratulatory taps graced my shoulder while the ladies looked in awe and in that moment, I felt invisible.The three men surrounded me as the curly-haired haired emerged with two shots of tequila in both his hands.“Grayham!” They started chanting when he presented the shots to me. Even though my head was starting to bang and I could feel my legs betraying me by being excessively heavy, I was determined to take the shots.Maybe it was stupid of me to grab the bottle and gulp directly when I could have started with the shots but who cares?I was already into this game.Amidst the chants, I took both shots and downed them one after the other. The drink burned my throat and I shut my eyes to relish the strong flavor.When my eyes opened, I flashed a proud smile and lifted my hands in victo
