Jon squeaked into the classroom on his wet tennis shoes right as the bell was ringing. Mr Jefferies gave him a reproachful look but didn't say anything about his near tardiness. Jon sat next to Karyn and whispered, "Do you have the stone?" Karyn nodded and said yes but that little bit of conversation was enough to draw Mr. Jeffries' ire.
"Don't interrupt my lecture with your chit-chat!" Mr. Jeffries said with a piercing look.
"Karyn give me the stone!" Jon whispered in urgency. Karyn said, " Hold on, I wish that for the duration of the class, nothing we say or do will be noticed or acknowledged by anyone other than Jon and I."
Karyn shot Jon a smug know-it-all look and then shouted, "Mr. Jeffries is a pig-fucker."
The classroom remained completely calm as Mr. Jeffries continued to drone on about gubernatorial executive powers.
Jon said to Karyn, "We need to think of a way out of this mess you've put me in. I can't live like this."
"Like what?" Karyn said.
Jon grabbed the rock and said, "I wish Karyn knew the changes she made with her wishes yesterday."
Jon watched as Karyn's eyes widened with shock and then apology. "Jon, I'm so sorry." "I messed up too," he said. "How can we fix this without being able to undo the wish?"
Jon said, "On a practical level, I'm cold, I'm embarassed, and I look like a freak. What, if anything can we do?"
