"Wait here for a minute, and put your clothes on. I'll be right back," said Jennifer.
She ran out the door. Seconds later a loud alarm and strobe light started going off. "Did you pull the fire alarm?" Billie asked.
"Yeah, I used that old one behind the bleachers where the cameras can't see," she said. "Now c'mon, let's get out of school through the old maintenance room. I'll take you home." Jen led the way down an old hallway to a dingy maintenance door. She rattled the knob, pushed in, gave the door a solid kick and then yanked. Much to Billie's surprise, the door popped open. They walked through the cluttered boiler room and escaped through an outside door. Jen had left her car right outside. "Hop in," she said.
She drove Billie back to her house, and they got out. "I can't take you home looking like a stray dog," she said. "Come inside, and we'll get you fixed up." They went inside, and Jen led the way to her room.
As Billie walked past her floor length mirror he stopped in shock. Staring at himself he cried, "It's not fair! Why did he do this to me! I don't even recognize myself anymore!"
"It's alright, I'll have you looking like yourself pretty soon," she said. She got her airbrush out and hooked it up while Billie undressed. She sprayed him from head to toe with flesh colored makeup and after a couple of hours, all of Billie's spots had disappeared.
He looked at himself in the mirror again. "Thank you, Jen! It feels good to be back to normal."
"You're welcome. Now let's get you home before your parents wonder where you are," she said. They got in her car, and she drove him down the road to his house. "Now remember, no showering, washing your hands, or scratching too hard. Don't worry, I have a plan to handle school tomorrow."
"Thanks for everything," Billie said. "You're a really good friend!"
"You're welcome Billie; what are friends for?” she responded. Billie got out and shut the door. "And I love you," she whispered after the door had closed. Then she took off down the road to work on her plan for school tomorrow.
