Every Day Page #2

---

You have two options.

One, break up with him!

And, two, cheat, like, a lot.

Crazy amounts.

With crazy amounts of dudes.

You know,

like how Lindsey does?

Mom doesn't cheat.

I don't wanna

talk about it anymore.

All right. Great.

Set an alarm for 11:00 p.m.

and another alarm

for 11:
50 p.m.

Okay.

- You sure you don't mind?

- No, of course not.

Thanks, babe. I just need

to get super wasted tonight.

- Yup.

- Steve, my goon!

- My goon!

- What's up, man?

Hey, Stephanie.

Rhiannon.

Hey, guys. What's going on?

- Hey!

- Hi!

Justin's over there.

Thank you.

Bro...

That's so weak.

Shoot it!

- Oh!

- Hey!

Oh!

Well, you didn't

wake up this morning

'Cause you didn't go to bed

You were watching the whites

of your eyes turn red

The calendar on your wall

was ticking the days off

You've been reading

some old letters

You smile and think

how much you've changed

All the money in the world

Couldn't buy back those days

You pull back the curtains

And the sun burns

into your eyes

You watch a plane flying

across a clear blue sky

This is the day

Your life

This is the day

- When things fall

- Into place

I don't think I know you.

Do you go to Octavian?

No, I'm Nathan.

Steve's cousin.

I'm Rhiannon.

That's a lovely name.

Oh, thank you.

I don't like it.

Why?

Well, everyone thinks

it's Rihanna,

as in,

"B*tch Better Have My Money".

Also, no one can spell it.

That's their problem.

It's a beautiful name.

Thank you.

Yo! Hey! Who's this?

This is Nathan,

Steve's cousin.

Hey.

Steve's gay cousin.

All right. Hey.

You got nothing

to worry about, Galahad.

But your girlfriend might.

Uh...

Thanks, I guess.

I'm gonna be upstairs.

Yo!

You wanna go someplace

not upstairs?

Your boyfriend,

not a dancer?

Um...

Not today, apparently.

So...

Why are you with him?

Um...

Because we love each other.

Sometimes,

it's really good with him.

I mean, he's my type.

Ah, okay.

And...

What's your type?

Um...

Tall, slim, nice shoulders.

What?

What's wrong

with nice shoulders?

No, nothing.

I don't know, I guess I'm just

more of a butt guy myself.

But, you know, I get it.

I guess when

you've seen as many...

Seen as many butts?

No, no.

Real talk?

Not a fan of some dude

mackin' on my girlfriend.

Don't care if he's gay.

Real talk.

You gotta get your cousin

Nathan in line.

He is gay, right?

Bro, what cousin?

I just know that

you can be attracted

to way more people

than you think.

Me?

Anyone.

How do you know?

I'm sorry, I have to go.

Oh! We're not done here.

I'll call myself

so that I have your number.

You don't want this number.

I'm gonna get a new

number tomorrow.

- You're getting a new number?

- There he is!

Rhi! That's not

Steve's cousin!

I don't even think he's gay!

- What?

- I'm sorry, I have to go.

- I'll explain later. Promise.

- What?

Where are you going?

Go, go, go!

Oh, hell no!

Wait, you guys!

Come on, come on!

Leave him alone!

Don't creep on our women,

little dude!

Rhi, give me my keys!

No, Justin, you can't!

- Justin!

- My keys!

No,

you cannot drive right now.

Who even was that?

Siri. Hey, Siri!

Do I have a phone?

ELECTRONIC VOICE:

It is 6:
29 a.m.

This teenager missed curfew,

then said the Devil

made him do it.

Monroeville's Nathan Daldry,

was found

asleep around 1:
00,

Saturday morning,

by the side of a highway

with a broken back windshield.

His explanation...

He had been

possessed by Satan.

Your boy took down

his social media.

So tell us what happened.

Guess I gotta

talk to him in person.

Justin, what are you thinking?

Leave him alone.

He's disturbed.

Then why were you even

hanging out with him?

I don't know.

And one day,

I was fine.

So, Friday night

he was super weird.

And then, this morning,

I get a text from

a random number.

"If you meet me in person,

somewhere public,

I can explain.

Please come alone."

Oh, my God. Are you going to?

I don't know, should I?

I think you have to.

This is the coolest,

creepiest thing

that has ever happened.

Tell me you're alone.

You're alone, right?

I'm sorry, do I know you?

Oh, Nathan sent me.

Oh, um...

Where is Nathan?

He's here.

In a way. I mean, he's not,

like, "here" here,

but he also wasn't there

on Friday when you met him.

Or you thought

that you met him.

You know, you actually didn't.

What?

Today I'm Megan.

The day that you met Nathan,

I was Nathan. All right?

And the day that Amy shadowed

you at school, I was Amy.

And the day that you went

to the beach with Justin...

I was Justin.

Because I am someone

who wakes up

in a different body every day.

Always someone my age.

Never too far from the last,

never the same person twice,

and I have absolutely

no control over any of it.

Okay, did Rebecca

tell you I'd be here?

She wasn't supposed

to tell anyone.

I don't know why it happens,

I don't know how.

I mean, this is...

No one's ever tried

to explain it to me.

And this is the first time

I've ever actually

told anyone about it.

And I know

I'm not doing a good job.

Okay. Um...

Thank you.

This is all very good,

but I think I should go.

"You have a nice smile."

That was the fortune

that you got.

The fortune that we both got.

You told me about the day

that your dad got laid off.

You told me about

the French restaurant.

Okay, just stop.

I told Justin those things,

not you.

He has nothing

to do with this.

He's the only one who does.

I spent the day with him.

And now he and you and Nathan,

and God knows who else

are playing some stupid joke.

And, honestly,

I don't even want to know why.

So just, please, stop.

He doesn't talk to you

like this.

He doesn't spend days with you

like the one that

we had together, okay?

He doesn't see you.

You have to know

that that wasn't him.

It's not possible.

It is.

Hey.

Hey! I'm all right.

I seem not all right to you?

I'm fine.

Great.

Do you wanna study at my place

after school?

- "Study."

- Who's Megan?

I don't know any Megan.

Did you tell anyone

about what I told you about

what happened with my dad?

Um...

Honestly, I don't

even remember

what you told me

about your dad.

What's wrong with you?

Are we hanging out or what?

Whatever.

Hey! It's me, A.

Oh.

Hi. Um...

Wait, "A"?

He's James, but I'm A.

Like, just A, like the letter.

I'm still not convinced

that this is real.

Who named you A?

I did. I wanted a name that no

one else was likely to have.

Okay, the day you were Justin,

what was I wearing?

Peasant blouse, jean shorts.

What?

You know what

a peasant blouse is?

Half the time

I wake up as a girl.

Although, I will say,

I think that James

could totally pull it off.

I think...

Got the physique for it,

all that good stuff.

Okay.

What was the last thing

I said to you that day?

"Your mouth tastes

so much better

when you don't smoke."

And the name

you called Justin

to his face when

you were Nathan?

What? Oh, Galahad.

And when you were Amy,
