If they had switched ages, then what about Karyn? Maybe he wasn't even friends with her in this new reality. But if he wasn't friends with her, then who was he friends with?
As they walked out to Zoe's car, he heard his sister mutter to herself how Jon was ruining her Saturday. Sitting in the back seat with her head down was one of Zoe's goth friends. He slid in and she looked up at him. His jaw dropped. It was Karyn.
She wore a ripped fishnet shirt underneath a black corset, a torn black miniskirt, fishnet stockings, and black knee-high buckled boots with 4-inch stacks. Around her neck was a spiked collar, and in her nose, eyebrow, and ears were piercings. She wore black eyeliner, black lipstick, and black nail polish. But it was Karyn.
"What the fuck are you staring at?" she said. She smelled like cigarettes. It appeared this Karyn smoked. What had happened to her? The only thing he could think of was Zoe. If Zoe was his age, and she made friends with Karyn when they were kids like he did...she might have changed the course of Karyn's entire life.
Zoe started off, and swung down another street where a girl was waiting for them. She slid into the back of the car with them, next to Jon. "Hey, Jon." she smiled.
She wore a pair of jeans and a t-shirt...standard teenage attire. It was because of that that he didn't immediately recognize her. It was Zelda, Zoe's friend...or rather his friend. Had the same thing happened? Did he and Zoe have that much influence on people? Or was it the magic?
