It was Thomas, the kid Chad considered a dweeb and that he loved tormenting. Naturally, being a popular jock, Chad employed all of his social advantages to get out of the trouble he amply deserved. The coach of the school especially made sure he never got into any sort of problems. The muscular teacher had no intention of having his star pupil run into any sort of inconvenience! And Chad knew this perfectly and happily played upon this. He loved feeling privileged. And he enjoyed venting out all of his frustrations upon Thomas who was a lot less popular and athletic than he was.
"Nice joke," sneered Chad at his favorite punching-ball.
"What did you wish for?" asked Thomas.
"What the hell do you care, nobody?" scorned Chad.
"Simple curiosity," simply retorted the other boy. "Because in truth it does not matter. It is no wishing apple, yet it is a magical apple nonetheless. In fact, you should witness its effects quite soon."
Chad guffawed. What did this ugly idiot think? That he was this naive? But while has laughing, Thomas remained smug-looking and after a few seconds, though he was in denial, Chad really DID start to feel some effects. Some strange sensations that kept increasing and before he knew it, the world was getting bigger around him! He really was shrinking! And his clothes were vanishing too! He yelped in utter terror and now being less than a foot tall he seized the leaf of the apple to cover himself like a toga and hide his shame.
"What have you done?!!?" he shouted in complete fright. "Change me back!"
"I don't think so," arrogantly said Thomas. "Now I am the one in charge and I intend to have a lot of fun with you. After all, that is only what a big bully like you deserves."
Chad gulped. Uh-oh... That couldn't be good... Oh, how the tables had turned!...
