"Whoa, what was that?" Jon asked, still feeling the residual sensation of the jolt.
"What was what, Gibson?" Athena asked.
Jon looked at her with astonished eyes. She was no longer a Goth. In fact, she seemed kind of tomboyish. It was obvious that she worked out - she had some pretty big muscles, for a girl. And her hair was no longer dark and long. Instead it was short and blond.
"Athena, we don't want any trouble," Karyn said, sounding a bit shaky.
"Shut up, bitch," Athena said to Karyn, then turned back to Jon. "Is that ... is that a necklace that you're wearing." Athena fell into a fit of laughter. "I knew it. You really are a fag."
"No I'm not," Jon said.
Athena grabbed the front of his shirt and pushed him against the wall. "If I say you're a fag, then you're a fag, fag." Then she took a step back and laughed again, before walking away.
"Jon, why are you wearing that thing? You shouldn't try to provoke her. She's one of the meanest bullies in school."
Karyn really didn't remember. She had no idea that Athena was supposed to be a Goth and not a bully, and she didn't remember Athena giving Jon her magic necklace. Someone must have made a wish for Athena to become this way and because she removed her magical protection, the wish was able to be completed.
Suddenly, Jon was afraid to take the pendant necklace off. Who knew what could happen?
