"Because I'll be someone everyone listens to...I'll be an adult," Zoe said. She looked over at Sarah. "Is that Sarah McMillan?"
"Yes. I'm a loser just like both of you now," she said.
"What's wrong with her?" Zoe said. "Bad reaction or something?"
Jon looked at her. "This Change...I've never heard of it before. Now Sarah is turning into...whatever, and you..."
"Come on, Jon. Everyone's heard of it..." Zoe insisted.
"But..why would you want to transform yourself?" he asked.
Zoe didn't seem to hear him. She closed her eyes, as if she felt a headache coming on.
He turned to check on Sarah. Her facial features were shifting, her perfect features growing somewhat less perfect. She was beginning to resemble, to Jon, a horse...with a long face and big teeth..not unpleasant to look at, but not anyone that would inspire Jon's fantasies.
"You should probably keep an eye on her," Zoe said, suddenly. "I can take care of myself."
