Karyn came out of the bathroom, and I could see she had been crying. We were both late for class, but I wasn't leaving her alone!
"Jon, I need to get out of here."
I nodded and we both managed to slip out of school- I didn't like to skip, but this was an emergency! I was careful not to walk ahead of her- before, Karyn had been close to my height, but she was so tiny now- she had to be under 5' in height!
We stopped at the park, and she hopped up on a bench, her feet dangling just above the ground. I slowly sat down facing her. "Karyn?"
She sighed. "How old do I look?"
"Uh.." I frowned. Really, she looked like a Junior High student, but her breasts, though smaller than they had been, were still pretty big for Junior High! "Twelve...and a half?"
"And if you're not looking at my chest?" She raised an eyebrow.
"Ah.." I felt my face burn. "Sorry. Uh...twelve then."
She nodded. "Not even twelve, actually. The stupid wish turned me into a kid with big tits! I mean, look at this!" She handed me her student ID.
It claimed she was a Freshman! "Woah...how...?"
"The stupid wish changed reality. Only you and I remember how old I'm supposed to be! And it's worse, look at the birthdate!"
The year of her birth had been changed as well! "Wait, you're six years younger now? But how can you be in High School?"
She shrugged. "I guess I got skipped a few grades or something. I mean, I still have the mind of a 17 year-old, right?"
"But your life must be different, I mean, how are we still friends?"
She shook her head. "I don't know, Jon! But look at us now! People must think you're a pedophile or something for being my friend! And now I have three more years of High School! I won't even be able to drive when I graduate!"
She was shaking now, and I put my arms around her. She buried her face in my chest and cried for a long time. Finally, she pulled away. "Jon, you're the best friend ever, but...we can't be friends anymore."
"What?! I'm not going to stop being your friend!"
"But.."
I looked her in the eyes. "I don't care what people say. You're important to me."
She looked away then. "Jon...do you love me?"
I thought about that. "I...I don't know. I mean, I care about you a lot, and I think you're really cute and awesome..." I sighed. "But what we have, you know, you're the closest friend I've ever had. I was always afraid if we...you know, that..."
She nodded. "That things would change. I feel the same way..."
"But there's something else, isn't there?"
She bit her lower lip, and the gesture made her look even cuter, if that was possible. "I..well.."
"Karyn, you can tell me anything. It won't change the fact I'm your friend."
"Ok. Well, it's that...I mean, I think I might be a lesbian."
How had I missed it? But it made a lot of sense, now that she said it. "Wait, so you're not attracted to guys at all?"
She blushed. "Uh...some guys. I guess that makes me bi?"
I smiled softly at her. "Am I one of those guys?"
She nodded. "But how could I be with you, when I have these...feelings about girls? Fuck, this is stupid, look at me, I'm a kid now! Who'd be attracted to me?"
I shifted uncomfortably. "Uh..."
Her eyes widened. "Seriously?"
I looked at my feet. "Does that make me a freak?"
She gently placed her hand on mine. "I don't know. Do other little girls turn you on?"
"No! Just...you."
She leaned against my arm. "Well. Doesn't this make us a pair. Oh Jon, what are we going to do?"
"Well, there's always the rock."
She froze. "Oh no, Sarah!"
"You made a wish, didn't you?"
"I didn't mean to, but I was so upset about the wish, and then she..."
I gently mussed her hair. She frowned, but didn't pull away. "She's a bitch, I know. So what did she do?"
"I wish you were smaller than me, you big-boobed slut."
"Uh oh."
She nodded. "Yeah. Who knows what that did to her!"
"We could use the rock to find out."
She bit her lower lip again. "Uh, I guess, but we need to be careful."
"I wish we had a crystal ball that we could use to spy on anyone we want to?"
She grinned. "Not a bad idea!" Holding the rock in her hands, she repeated my wish.
