Craig waited outside Kassidy's door with an overwhelming sense of nervous anticipation. Was he really going to do this? If these tapes really worked then all his wildest dreams were about to come true. If not, well, he could try and pass it off as a prank he figured.
Kassidy was the most important person in Craig's life and yet he - well, it seemed like she barely acknowledged his existance these days. The two had grown up near each other, been friends at school but as they had got older they had drifted apart. She had grown into a beautiful woman, a tall athletic brunette who quickly became one of the popular kids, something Craig could only dream of being. Now reaching their mid twenties, it had seemed almost impossible to get her attention since then with all the slimeball jocks she surrounded herself with but this, this could change that for good.
Drawing on of his resolve, Craig pushed firmly on the buzzer. Moments later he was rewarded with a vision of beauty dressed in a T-shirt and tiny shorts that were barely visible under it.
"Oh, hi"
Craig tried not to feel wounded by the lack of enthusiasm in Kassidy's voice. While she had never been actively mean to him she had a real gift for making him feel like an insignificant piece of shit.
"Erm, not to sound weird but I thought you might want to try this out"
Craig thrust the walkman into Kassidy's hands as confidently as he could. He only needed to persuade her to start listening to this, as far as he had been told. This shouldn't be beyond his powers of persuasion.
"What is this, 1986?" the hot brunette scoffed.
"No, these are educational. They can make you really smart really quickly"
Kassidy looked angry "Huh? Are you saying I'm dumb?"
"No, that's not what I..."
Suddenly Kassidy's pretty face broke into a smile "Relax, I'm just messing with you! I'll try these out now"
And with that the conversation was over. Craig hung around for a few moments processing his thoughts when suddenly he noticed through her window that she was actually doing it! Kassidy was sitting on her couch listening to the tape and seemed almost entranced by it already.
Craig walked home quickly. He would call back later when his crush would eitber think he was an even bigger loser than she probably already did, or fall head over heels in love with him.
It was only when Craig went to look at his collection of casettes that he noticed something was amiss. He had needed to buy the whole set of hypnotic tapes to get the one he wanted and there were some pretty weird ones in there, make someone into an animal, humiliate a rival, give someone a bizarre character trait. He was about ready to chuck them when to his horror he noticed the casette on making someone fall head over heels in love with you was sitting proudly in its box at the top of the pile. He'd given her the wrong one! If that was here then what was Kassidy listening to? He took the empty case from his pocket and to his horror it read..
