"I'm so sorry this happened to you, Karyn," Jon said, trying to apologize. Yes, it was Karyn's idea to leave the mall and go back to the school, but it was Jon's wish that made all of this possible.
"What's there to be sorry about?" Karyn asked. "Honestly, I don't even understand why you can't be happy for me. I'm part of the squad now. It's like the best thing that could ever happen."
"But you hate the cheerleaders, Karyn. Don't you remember?" Jon asked.
"Okay, yeah. I did. But now I see that my opinion of them was wrong."
Jon wondered if he would ever get his Karyn back. Maybe he could try using the stone when he got back home.
