"I was wondering when you'd come over. It was a little weird when a high schooler sat here," said the girl, whom
Jen suddenly recognized as her new best friend Amy.
"I'm a high schooler," Jen insisted.
"You wish..." Amy said. "I know you want to be just like Elizabeth...but she barely pays attention to you."
Jen looked to where Elizabeth and Susan were sitting. Susan seemed to be doing most of the talking and Elizabeth had a confused look on her face. She blinked, and suddenly Elizabeth was wearing a cheer uniform...identical to hers...except it somehow fit the young girl.
Elizabeth was having an equally confusing experience. She'd gotten on to the bus and gone to sit with her friend Amy. She'd been rather quiet, wondering about the odd shock and Jen falling down, when suddenly she heard someone calling her. "Hey, Elizabeth? What are you doing over there with the little kids?"
Elizabeth blinked...suddenly feeling out of place next to Amy and the others...they seemed so...young all of the sudden. She got up and walked to the source of the voice and sat down next to Susan, who began to talk about an upcoming party that weekend and who was going to be there. She initially had a bit of trouble following, but as Susan talked, she was starting to pick up the thread of who was who in the story.
Elizabeth was excited about being friends with the cool older kids.
