The next day I was waiting for Karyn, and was starting to get worried when she didn't show up on time. Nervously fingering the stone, I muttered, "Gee, I wish she would get here soon," only realizing as I said it what I had done.
Sure enough, just a minute or two later, Karyn came walking up. She was dressed differently today, no longer wearing her old slacks and green jumper. In fact, it looked like she was wearing a brand new pair of jeans, not quite tight enough to be considered "painted on" but which still highlighted her legs. Above the jeans, she wore a nice pale blue blouse, with the top two buttons undone which made it clear that her breasts really had grown yesterday and (and this is what really surpised me) makeup and jewelry. Not in excessive amounts mind you, and nowhere near what Sarah usually wore, but still, I had never seen Karyn dressed like this.
As she came up to me she smiled sheepishly. "Um, hi Jon. Sorry to keep you waiting but I was, er, uh, busy. I guess you had to use the stone to get me here, givent he feeling I just had about HAVING to come over here right away."
"Yeah, sorry about that. But what's with the get-up. if I didn't know better I'd say you were trying to out-Sarah Sarah McMillan."
"Well, Jon, you see, after I left you yesterday I planned to head right home. But along the way I ran into Brad Owens. Until yesterday he'd hardly ever given me the time of day, being the BMOC of the baseball team and all, but yesterday he actually started flirting with me. I mean, come on. The hottest guy at school flirting with me! Well, I talked with him for a couple of minutes and had to give him my phone number before I could get away. And then, just before I got home, I saw Marcus Tate, Mr. Student Body president himself. He was colelcting signitures for some sort of petition and before I knew it HE was flirting with me. And that was with me dressed like I was yesterday."
She paused for a second to catch her breath, giving me a chance to assess what she'd said. Apparently the two most handsome guys at school, guys who had never shown any interest in Karyn, had spent a major amount of time talking to her and flirting with her after her inadvertent wish had altered her body yesterday. before I could fully grasp what was going on, Karyn continued.
"Jon, I always thought it was silly how pretty girls acted when guys flirted with them, but I have to be honest with you, I liked the attention. I mean, I wouldn't want to have anything serious to do with guys so shallow they only care about appearance but, well, like I said, I liked the attention. So I decided to experiment. if two guys like Brad and Marcus flirted with me the way I was dressed, what would happen if I didn't look so, well frumpy. So I showered and got dressed up nice. And let me tell you, it was tough finding something that would fit my, um, new endowments. Seems that even though I changed my old clothes still remained. Still, I was able to borrow one of my Mom's bras even though it wasn't quite the right size and, to make a long story short (too late, I know) I went to the mall. let me tell you Jon, it was great! Guys were hitting on me from the minute I walked in. For the first time ever I was the center of attention. ME! Little old Karyn. Now I know why Sarah acts the way she does - it's wonderful having guys follow you around and all. Anyway, I got dates for the rest of the week, and was able to buy some new clothes as you can see, and I spent the day today just reveling in it. Isn't it great Jon!"
To be honest I didn't know how to respond. This was the last way I would have thought Karyn would react. Maybe she was just high on adrenaline, but it sounded like she had deliberately decided to change her personality to match her new look,a nd that worried me, because the girl who'd just finished talking to me wasn't the Karyn I'd become friends with. I decided that maybe I should try to talk her into taking things mroe slowly.
Before I could do so, however, Karyn continued, "There's just one thing, Jon. My wish yesterday gave me blonde hair and a nice set of boobs, but the rest of my body just doesn't match the way it should, and it would be a lot easier if I didn't have to buy a whole new wardrobe, so I was wondering if we could use thes tone to just help me out a little. Please???"
I gulped as she finished, since she had leaned forward, giving me a good eyeful of her now impressive cleavage, and she was batting her eyes in that way that pretty girls have when they really want something. What was I to do?
