With a smile, Ronald updated the former Jon's info in his list.
Jon Madison - loner, dorky -> Jade
He took a second glance at the girl. She certainly made for an interesting picture. Her great looks and body were apparent, but so were her efforts to hide them. Of course, keeping to the requirements of Ronald's wishes, each of these efforts only served to enhance her beauty rather than downplay it. The messy, just-woke-up-like-this hair just gave her a look of casual sexiness, and her baggy clothes still provided many hints at the spectacular figure within.

Ronald considered his options. He could just face the music, since it would only cost him some time with his growing entourage of girls. On the other hand, he could probably just wish his way out of this one, though that would risk Jade finding out that he still had the real rock. Then again, more options presented themselves, too. He could-
