"Hey, thanks for not blaming me, sis" Sarah said suddenly as I started to hobble home.
"For what?"
Sarah gave a grim chuckle.. "Not being able to secure us a ride. For ruining your first cheerleader experience. And most of all, turning you into a boy. Ewww! That must be so gross! Thank God you turned into such a girlish one, and that you could still fit into my clothes."
I remained silent, since I had very mixed feelings. Sarah was concerned, trying to get me to talk to her about it. Finally I relented, and said "I don't blame you for this, but all I want to do is get home, see what changes and side effects have happened. Least the leg feels better."
"What side effects? You're turning back into a girl?" Sarah said anxiously.
"Yeah."
"So there shouldn't be any" Sarah said, confidently staring at me. "Nothing is going to be changed, sis. Almost... crap. Not her!"
"What?" I snapped, before I could see what could generate such a change in reaction. At first, I thought it was a pissed off Zoe. Instead, it was Karyn. The last day had not been kind to her; she still was in a St Mary's uniform, but her facial expression had the blank look of a ditzy airhead. Least until she spotted us, and instantly it turned into a look of recognition, shock and then fury. She quickly charged towards us.
"I now get it, Anna. Your side effect fear. You both go to the same school, but now you're in the same class. You're afraid you could become like her... and since you're now my twin...." Sarah said, genuine fear creeping into her voice as she turned from staring a Karyn to her own mud splattered uniform. I was afraid too, since Karyn was one of the few that could perceive my changes, and presuming, that to Sarah. The last thing I needed was for Sarah to regain her old memories, or temperament. I barely heard Karyn's initial 'You!' Instead, I could picture Sarah smirking as she muttered something about punishing me.
"Anna!" Sarah snapped, turning her attention between me and Karyn. Once she saw I was okay, she turned her attention back to Karyn. Even though this version of Sarah was far nicer than the previous, it quickly became apparent that she still despised Karyn, and the feeling was mutual.
"Anna?" Karyn said, surprised as she stared between Sarah and myself. "What have you done, you stupid bitch?"
"Go away you stupid bimbo. I'm trying to get my sister home and we do not need to waste our time talking to you!" Sarah snapped.
"Home? Sister?"
"God, you're dumb. I live here!" Sarah snapped.
"You live here?" Karyn spat out "What have you done?"
"None of your business, you stupid whore."
"Whore? If you think I'm one, what are you? The queen?"
"How can someone like you not get kicked out of St Mary's?"
"Least I didn't get kicked out of cheer" Karyn snapped as she stared at Sarah's muddy uniform.
"I helped my sister. Are you smart enough to comprehend that?"
"Smarter than you. You don't..." Karyn said, but she was cut off by an ear piercing shriek from Sarah. Before I knew it, she had rushed wordlessly home, leaving me alone with Karyn she eyed me and said, "So, 'Anna'. What is going on? What is the deal with that bitch and how are you teen girl?"
I hesitated, "This is the side effects of your wish. If you will excuse me, I have to clean up the mess"
"What? Why?" Karyn spluttered, but I had walked off.
