For the next 25 minutes your teacher droned on and on, AX +BY=C...
Eventually, your curiosity got the better of you and you couldn't help but zone out, thinking of the best way to craft a wish... not that you REALLY expected it to work... but you figured it's a fun distraction.
You slowly wrote out your ideas as they came to you despite feeling sorta childish. "I wish that... I was handsome, healthy, lean, muscular," ...
You paused thinking about how to word the next part...
"and could control my physical and perceived age at will, which will change at the rate I specify, and others would also be unaware of those changes and my ability."
As you read over the note, you smirked at the thought of it coming true. Wouldn't THAT be fun... the things you could do...
You folded the piece of paper back up and placed it back in your math book trying to focus on the lecture again... Square polynomials... ugh...
"If I could control how other people see me, I'd make people see me as an adult." you thought to yourself, "25 to 30... 28." Yeah, if everyone thought I was 28 when they saw me, I could walk into a bar without turning heads, drive, hell, I could drink or smoke probably without being asked for ID. I could have so much fun and I wouldnt need to worry about the health impacts.
Or I could be the most mature freshmen in school looking like a 28 year old but everyone knows I am 14. Ha! Having the senior girls wanting to take me to prom...
Woah... I could be 28 physically but be treated like a 6 year old. Kids price at the movies, free/kids price meals, not being laughed at for wanting to have my birthday at chuck-e-cheese's.
"Yeah, I wish people really did see me as an adult, that would be so cool to try."
