"That's so cool." said Chastity. "Like, if _I_ could do that? I'd make that brainiac Melanie the stupid cow she is."
A scream echoed from up the hall, and Bets looked over with a sinking sensation, knowing what she was going to see.
Sure enough, Melanie was leaning against the lockers with one hand, and a black-and-white cowhide pattern had already covered her body. Her eyes were wide as her hands wrenched, cracking and bending and thickening into hooves--her feet followed suit, and as her body grew more heavyset, she lost her balance and pitched forward onto all fours. Her clothes tore off, but there was barely anything recognizable as human at that point--even her face was pushing out into a cow's muzzle.
And then her eyes darkened, dimmed, and there was nothing left inside but a cow, confused and panicked at being in the middle of a hallway.
All four of the girls stared for a moment, and then Diane looked at them, a mischievous grin on her face.
"You remember Eric, who dumped me because he said I was a stupid girl, and was such a sexist dick?" She giggled, and then whispered. "I wish he had a pussy, just like a girl's and everything that went with it." Her grin grew wide as she looked over the other girls, and saw the bulge in his pants flatten. He seemed to pause, but didn't fully register what had happened as he walked into his class.
She quirked a smile. "And I wish he was on his period."
Both of those made Bets cringe. Melanie wasn't the easiest person to know, but Chastity was just jealous of her good grades. And Eric...Bets lived next door to Eric. She talked to him over the fence, some nights. She knew he had left Diane because she was shallow and touchy. Fun to be around and to watch, but he's been hoping for something more out of a relationship, and she hadn't been able to provide.
The girls looked all around themselves. "Why did nobody notice Melanie?" The cow had calmed down, and was wandering down the halls, perhaps looking for a field. People gave her a wide berth, but didn't treat her as strange.
Eric screamed and ran from the class, a bloodstain between his legs, but the teacher merely walked over to the door and closed it as the bell rang.
"...Bets?" Asked April. "Are you doing that?"
