The next day, Sarah did something mean to Jon, and without realizing that he was holding the stone, Jon said “I wish Sarah was in a position where she had to be nice to me.”
That afternoon, Karyn approached Jon: “Did you make a wish?”
“I, uh, maybe?” Jon fumbled. “What happened?”
“Home Ec class,” Karyn furrowed her brow. “We were told that due to state budget cuts, the only way the school can figure out how to continue funding Home Ec was to hand control of the curriculum over to another organization, and let them pay for it.”
“Sounds sus.”
“Feels sus.” Karyn crossed her arms. “The school is partnering with Big Brothers and Big Sisters of America. Did you do this?”
“I don’t think so,” Jon furrowed his brow. “I accidentally wished that Sarah would be nice to me, but I can’t see how this is related.”
“Honestly, me neither. But it seems a pretty big coincidence.”
Then the two said their farewells and retreated to their respective houses for the night.
