Tiffany headed off to find her friends, still weirded out by the whole thing. Meanwhile, her eyesight was getting slowly worse. Before long, she had to reach back into the bag to find the glasses and put them back on.
"This isn't possible," she said. She wasn't the brightest bulb in the bunch, but even she knew you couldn't go from perfect vision to nearly blind in minutes.
She found her friends hanging around on a bench. "We should find Beth. She and Shawn are probably around here somewhere." She scowled at the name, even though in the previous reality, Sarah and Melissa were best friends. In this one, Shawn had dumped her to take up with Beth. Melissa was still pissed, but those two were made for each other...a horn dog and a dumb slut.
Even so, part of her still wanted revenge. She looked around at her assembled friends...Amber, Erika, and Allison...all fellow cheerleaders. Then she looked around and spotted Beth and another girl in one of the shops. She scowled again as she looked at Beth. Dumb slut...what does Shawn see in her over me? She took a breath. Why should I even care...I'm better than both of them..
As she moved away from the group to confront Beth, Tiffany approached Amber, Erika, and Allison. "Help me...something's happening to me," she said. "Look at me..."
They looked. "Are you all right?" Amber asked. They had no idea who this strange woman was. "Do you want us to call 911?" Maybe the woman was sick.
Tiffany grabbed Amber's arm. "It's me..." she insisted.
