I sat on the wall before class, nervously swinging my legs. It was the third day of school after spring break after some of the most stressful I'd ever endured. I felt odd in the skirt and blouse, dressing had been awkward to say the least. Even small breasts were more then I was comfortable with. I waited for Karyn to show up, my best friend now thought that, I had always been a girl, worse she thought I had always been a cheerleader, already she had turned into a blonde grown massive breasts then returned to her red headed smaller breasted self. I looked down at the sports bag I carried containing into my own cheerleader uniform and trainers and sighed. Next to that was a pink backpack containing my books and next to that a handbag full of makeup and sanitary towels and other junk I'd yet to sort through.
Finally, I spotted her strolling towards me across the yard. She was wearing her unusual get-up of s mini skirt, tights, high heels and v neck top exposing her perky breast. Her short strawberry blonde hair was stylish and she displayed her quirky grin as she spotted me slouched on the wall. The overall effect made her look like one of the. IT girls. I'd always avoided complicating our friendship but now I had no choice
"Hey, Mia-babe! How's it going? Feeling any better?"
I grinned sheepishly. "Yeah I guess" we were I turreted by a high pitched laugh, "You girls coming!" It was Sarah McMillan, head cheerleader and now I guess my captain. She was wandering across the yard followed by her usual entourage of cheerleaders and over-muscled football players and other assorted testosterone-fueled flunkies.
One of them headed over to Karyn and kissed her, it was Zac, then a big black guy I didn't recognise but cause strange stirrings I didn't want to think about put his hands on my hips "Hi Mia-babe, I heard you were feeling poorly" he leant forward and kissed me. My eyes opened in surprise, then closed as his tongue rubbed against mine and I realised mine was retuning its advances.
Wow I'd never snogged anyone before in my life and now I was snogging some guy I didn't know. He finished and lent over me and whispered in my ear "Did you. Yo'know get that test done?" I didn't know what he meant... Then it dawned on me. He meant a pregnancy test. He stared at me expectantly. "not yet, I'm going to straight after school" I promised. He smiled and pulled me up from the wall and into his arms, then gently lowered me to the floor. Wobbling a bit as I got used to the weight on my stroppy four inch heels. Wh all headed towards the School, I listened to everyone chatting about the big game while holding the strange guys hand.
At the door Mr McMillan was waiting, I could have punched him there and then, but it wasn't really his fault, I'd wished for something interesting, and carrying a evil monster in my womb seemed as interesting as things could get. "Hi". I said. He held up a card 'See me' it read. "I'll see you guys later" I said, the strange man gave me a quick kiss on the cheek then they left. "ok let's go" I said.
Arriving in the classroom David held up another card 'We have to sort this out' it read.
"Yes, so give me the stone.. Ring" I corrected myself, looking at where it was on his hand. He held up his hand and shook his head. "ok let's try it this way" I grasped the ring and said "I wish I were a man again" nothing happened. David pointed to his neck. "No way, I'm not giving up you ultimate power, I wish I knew who the black guy who was kissing me is and if I'm pregnant with his baby" I said. I knew, his name was Daniel but everyone called him a Dan except me who called him Danny and we had been sleeping together for over a year. He wasn't the only guy I'd been sleeping with though so I didn't know who the father was. I gulped. "I wish I wasn't such a slut" I said without thinking, a band of metal appeared on my ring finger. "I wish. I knew what. I just did" I was engaged to Danny, he had asked my parents permission and while they were at first sceptical he had grown on them, the wedding was to be in two weeks time, he had now been the only man I'd slept with and the father of my baby.
Panic started to set in, I needed to fix this quick, my mind started calculating ways out of the mess. David could just stare hopelessly at the women holding on to his finger. "I can't cope with this, I wish I wasn't getting married in two weeks time." The ring flashed.
"And do you Mia Merling, take this man, Daniel Jones to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold in sickness and in poorness, to have and to hold from this day forward and forever?" I missed some of what he was saying, where was I? I looked at the strange man dressed as a priest. "I do?" I asked. "you may now kiss the bride" he said, then I saw Danny in a Tux, he sure looked smart, he leaned in taking both my hands and kissed me. I fainted.
I woke up to Zoe in a pink bridesmaids dress, she never wore pink, her makeup was plain too, her hair was up and brown. "she's up" she shoulder, to applause from the room, "Aw sweetie, it's ok." It was my mother, she was dressed in a nice skirt and jacket and was wearing a big hat, her makeup was also nice, I was helped up, noticing the huge white dress I was wearing. "how's my baby momma" Danny said kissing me again. "I'm ok, just a bit tired" I said. "I bet you are" came Karyns voice as I felt an elbow in my ribs, ere she was looking like an angel. Karyn looked amazing in her yellow dress, it set her apart from the other bridesmaids and I realised she was my maid of honour.
"You go and sign and have a lay down, I'll get the party sorted and I'll see you later" said Karyn. Danny picked me up to another round of applause and carried me to the waiting car outside. The back said, just married, he put me in the back seat and sat next to me. "Lets go and enjoy the rest of our life, he said kissing me again. The driver pulled away as I looked out the window at my family and friends and cheerleaders all dressed as bridemaids. What have I done, I wondered.
