Bored, Jon absentmindedly thought out loud. “I’m bored. I wish that something interesting would happen.”. As soon as he said it he grimaced, the rock was in his left hand as he had made the wish and now it was beginning to glow.
“Oh shit...”
After it finished glowing nothing seemed different, although, in reality, things were very different. In this new reality there was a rare virus which, once it infected you would cause you to transform to fit in with the largest group around you when the virus triggered. Jon didn't know it yet but the next time he was in a crowd belonging to a distinctive clique or had common ground of some distinctive sort, he would transform till he was exactly like them.
Life was about to get very interesting for Jon.
Jon eventually went to sleep, believing he had dodged a bullet, he should have checked though as he slept something awoke within him, the virus would affect his behavior, compelling him to seek out a group to become part of, it could be anything, he might become a Jock or a Goth/Outlier, maybe part of the Popular girl clique of Cheerleaders? Maybe one of the teachers or his mom's Coffee morning crowd, anything. Part of the virus would fog the minds of his new group, making them willing to accept Jon as one of them. Jon had made one wish though, as a safety wish, he wished that however much things changed he would still remember who he was and how things used to be and wished the same for Karyn.
The next day he went to school, meeting with Karyn as usual he quietly explained how he had made a stupid wish the night before and that he was still waiting to see what the result was, Karyn was irritated with him but agreed to keep her eyes open for anything odd.
As they went into school, Jon looked over at a group and felt an odd compulsion to join them
They were .......
