"Now me, Jon. First I wish my middle name was Karen, and that that was what everyone calls me, not Ethel. I wish my hair was dark brown and thicker. I wish that my metabolism will increase, but not to a dangerous level, and that after this weekend my cravings for sweets, fried foods, and junk food is replaced by cravings for fruit, veggies, fiber, and other healthy foods. I also wish I have the willpower to excercie an extra four hours a week. I wish that I'll be half the weight I am now by start of senior year, and back to the weight I was before Sarah's wish by the time I start college, and I'll have a tight, athletic figure. Whew!" Ethel-now Karen again-stopped to catch her breath. "And one more thing-I wish Jon would tell me how he really feels about me." The last caught Jon by suprise, and he jerked his head up with a start!
Unable to resist, Jon could only come clean. "I really care about you, Karen, I mean I like you a lot. In fact I think I'm falling in love with you."
At that Karen really smiled, her broad chubby cheeks and thick double chin only serving to make her look prettier somehow. "Cool, Jon. I feel the same."
