At lunchtime, Matt saw Joe coming toward him with an evil look in his eye. Matt quickly wished to be a skilled fighter as a precaution.
"Hey, you!" Joe yelled, pointing at Matt. "I'm talking to you!"
"And?" Matt said.
Enraged, Joe moved to punch this guy's lights out, but Matt suddenly grabbed his wrist, then used that to flip Joe onto his back. A couple kids shrieked.
Matt dragged Joe into a bathroom stall and locked it. He wanted to talk to him.
"Listen up jerk. Are you paying attention?"
Joe nodded.
"You've been a bully for way too long. You even bullied me. Remember me, Matt?"
Joe's eyes widened in shock.
"You know how I got like this? I have a power now, and I can make your life utter hell. I can do anything to you. Got it?"
Joe nodded.
"But if you promise not to bully anyone ever again, especially little Todd, then I will reward you. How does that sound?"
"Good," Joe squeaked.
"So what's it going to be?"
Joe said, "I promise I'll never bully anyone again."
Matt smiled. "All right then. Now for your reward." He made a quiet wish to be able to make wishes in his mind, then he pointed his finger at Joe as he mentally wished for Joe's severe acne to go away. Soon Joe's face was completely clear.
Next Matt wished for Joe to have a very handsome face, and watched as his face reshaped itself under his floppy black hair.
Finally, Matt wished for Joe to have bigger muscles, but not as big as his own. He watched as Joe's frame filled out, his chest swelling beneath his tank top and showing his abs, his bare arms knotting up like baseballs.
"Thanks, Matt. I'll keep my promise," Joe said. The two left the bathroom.
Matt decided it was time to start helping some others.
