In deference to Kellie's request, Katie held back from using the Ring of Age. She decided to go the rest of the week without using it to change anyone. Not even Ashley and Jennifer, no matter how much they deserved it.
It was a good thing that Katie aged up her mind or high school would have been impossible for her. The classes were noticeably harder than what she had been doing earlier. There was also the fact high school had a lot more hierarchy and cliques than what she has seen in elementary school. And to Katie's annoyance, Ashley and Jennifer were indeed at the pinnacle of popularity there. It wasn't just Kellie they were rude to. Pretty much anyone was a target for contempt. If Kellie hadn't made her promise, Katie would have turned those brats back into little girls if not younger.
Katie found herself adjusting pretty easily to having a girlfriend, even if that girlfriend was technically her younger former mother. But both Kellie's parents and Katie's aunt were rather supportive of them being attracted to girls and they considered the girls a good influence on each other. Of course, Ashley and Jennifer mocked them for being lesbians the next day at school, but Katie and Kellie took the wind out of their insults by openly admitting it and even kissing in public. Any attempted bullying of the couple afterwards was half-hearted at best, especially the school had a very strict policy about bullying homosexuals.
But during the school week, Katie did have a lot of time to plan on what to do with the ring. She itched to use its power but restrained herself. Kellie deserved to be a part of this. Still as soon as it was Saturday, she was going to head over to Kellie's and discuss what they'll do with the ring.
