Before going to second period, Dan stopped by the bathroom to fix his hair and make himself look more presentable. “Man I really need to look good. I think I’m going to ask Lilly out.”
Unfortunately for Dan, none of his friends were in his second period class. Despite this, he was texting Lilly the whole time. His heart rate wasn’t as high, as he started to feel more and more confident. In fact, he saw some people staring at him. Not in a bad way, but as if they were interested in him. He even received a compliment.
His third period had Holly in his class. She sat next to him and said, “wow Dan. You look older… in a good way”
“Thank you,” Dan replied.
“And about… Lilly… she sort of does too. At least that’s what I noticed in class with her last period. And she seems really into you. Like, really.”
Dan stopped. He and Lilly both seemed to have changed. What was happening? Was his sister’s talk about his inner self true? And if so, he couldn’t have been happier.
After third period, Dan bumped into Kat.
“So Dan, I’m so excited to see the progress on your transformation!” Kat said gleefully. Then she took a long look at Dan and frowned.
“Wait, is your inner self, that of a handsome man? We’re you like this, the whole time?” Kat asked.
“I don’t think so. But I may have to thank you for this,” Dan replied.
Kat laughed to herself. “You know, maybe I’ve been harsh on you for a while. All the witches in the family is excited to see the effects of my spell. I was going to tell you that Mom forced me to alter it, so that you wouldn’t experience death if you ended up inanimate, but I don’t think you have to worry about that anyways.”
“Wait what, you were originally going to kill me?”
“Uhhhh, that was just a tease aha”
Nobody was in any of Dan’s classes until lunch.
Dan, Kyle, Max, Holly and Lilly all sat together. Dan did notice how beautiful Lilly suddenly looked. He already found her attractive, but this was a whole another level.
“Wow, Dan, Lilly, what happened to you guys? You look like really good out of nowhere!” Max said.
“For real. Dan didn’t look like this first period or on the walk here. You both look kind of… mature.”
Dan smiled while Lilly blushed. “I don’t really know. Outside of you guys, most people have been treating me like I have always looked like this though. I’m a little worried to be honest.” Lilly said.
“Don’t be. I mean something weird is definitely happening with us, and I think my sister is involved,” Dan noted.
“I would call you insane, but this seems almost super natural. Wasn’t it her birthday? Why did she give you a gift instead?” Kyle asked.
For the rest of lunch, Dan and Lilly flirted with each other, and the other 3 friends seemed less weirded out by it over time, as if this was becoming normal to them.
After lunch, Dan and Lilly walked to their next class together. It was at this moment where Dan suddenly asked Lilly, “hey, Lilly? I really like you. Like really really like you. Will you go out with me?”
Lilly responded with the happiest “YES” Dan has ever heard. It was almost like she was just asked to marry him.
The next class together seemed like the happiest the two have ever been, just for the fact that they were together.
Dan didn’t have any more classes with anyone until the last period, where he was with Max.
“Dude, are you wearing a suit? It looks pretty neat,” Max said.
Dan didn’t realize he was even wearing a suit. But all he did was smile. He knew it was from the spell that Kat had cast, and it’s making him not only more and more handsome, but closer and closer to Lilly.
After school, he waited for Lilly. Max and Kyle were in after school sports, and Holly was in band, so only Lilly walked home with Dan most days.
