Sarah thought about the people in her life that annoyed her the most. There was Jon, obviously; not only was he a nerd, but he tried to act like he didn't think she was hot. But she saw the way she turned his head - he was easy as all the other guys. He could be turning a few heads himself by the end of the week.
Then there was Karyn. Sarah had always known she was jealous of her body. Of course, watching her wish up the same hair and boobs only confirmed it. The way Sarah saw it, she'd be doing her a favor by including her in this wish.
And Biff. She liked him well enough, for what he was. Or at least what he had in his pants. She would miss that, but it's not like she couldn't find another. The guy was a meathead anyway. He didn't respect her, or all that she went through to be beautiful for him. Maybe it was time for a little understanding.
She couldn't forget Kyla Leeson and Jay Duncan, of course. The chubby girl and the geeky loner were barely a blip on her queen bee radar, but maybe either one of them could be something more. Sarah looked down at the rock. She briefly wondered how something so small could be so powerful, but decided not to worry about it.
Then, an idea popped into her head. Why start with just one of these losers, when she could have fun with all of them at once? She wrote all five names on a sheet of paper and thought a moment about the exact wording.
"I wish that all of the people named on this paper would transform, over the next few days, into NFL Cheerleaders who are in town to scout recruits. I wish that, once their changes are complete, they'll see my own talents and invite me to join one of their squads."
That was it. Sure, she could change herself into a cheerleader like the others, but she didn't have to. She was already perfect, she just needed the right people to recognize it. All she had to do was turn her obstacles into allies.
