A few seconds later the door swung open, and Kyle Perkins stood on the other side of his screen door, looking back at four cheerleaders.
Kyle wasn't actually as geeky or dorky as one would have imagined. He had some freckles on his face, but they had been rapidly disappearing over the last year. He wasn't tall, standing in right now at 5'10'', but he was still growing. He basically reflected how every 15 year old boy looked. He hadn't finished puberty, his voice cracked on occasion, and he didn't have any muscles or anything else like that. He simply hadn't reached that age yet.
Quite taken aback from what he saw looking at him, he timidly asked, "Uhh, can I help you?" Then he saw Jennifer and became scared very quickly. Trish saw this on his face and pleaded, "Please don't close the door, Kyle. Our friend here," nodding at Jennifer, "told us about a phone conversation the two of you had this morning, and we came to see if it's true. Can we come in?" Kyle stammered, "N-no, th-that's not a good idea. Please, just--" Jamie interrupted, "Kyle, I know that Jenn and Trish helped play a mean prank on you last week. I promise that we won't do anything to embarrass you if you invite us in. We've had a troubling day, and we're just trying to find out what's wrong with our friend." Kyle was taken in by Jamie's sweetness, and the fact that she had not done anything to him. "OK," he said, and opened the screen door out towards the girls.
He backed up a few steps, allowing all the girls to step inside. Then he saw that Jennifer was standing there nude. "Oh, my God," he muttered. He did for two reasons. First, he had never seen a girl naked in person before, especially not one as beautiful as Jennifer, and second, because he didn't know if the curse was real or not. But now he did. Trish spoke again, "You see why we're here right? Now let me make this short. We noticed something was, big, about her tits this morning. At our morning practice she got mad at us and started calling us names. The funniest thing was that whenever she did, she took off a piece of the clothes she was wearing." Liz took over the storytelling. "But what was even funnier than that was she didn't seem to think anything was wrong. With her taking off clothes, or with her breasts." Jamie concluded, "And try as we might, we couldn't get her to put her clothes back on or admit something was different about her appearance."
All of this time, Jennifer just stood there and listened. Now she piped up, "Would you guys come on? The little twerp's stupid curse didn't work. There's nothing wrong with me. Now can we please leave and get back to practicing?!" Kyle was flabbergasted. Trish spoke again. "You see what we mean? This is what we've been dealing with all day. Now she wouldn't tell us what your phone call was about. Can you tell us please? The sooner you do, the sooner we'll leave you alone."
Kyle exhaled deeply and began to talk. "Well I was really mad at what happened last week. Then I heard someone in my class talking about 'The Town Curse.' I figured it was worth a shot. I decided to do it to Jennifer because she seemed to be the ringleader of it all. I still didn't believe in the curse. I didn't until you came here. But I called anyway. At first I wasn't sure I was going to go through with it. I hoped to be able to just get an apology out of her." For whatever reason, he found himself unable to look directly at Jennifer. He seemed to look mostly at Trish and Jamie. Jamie seemed to be listening intently. She knew some of the things that her friends Jennifer and Trish would do to people for a cheap laugh.
Kyle continued his account of the phone call. "But then she acted disgusted and called me a name. I decided I just couldn't take any more abuse from her, so I said--" He never had a chance to finish the sentence. This was the exact moment they hoped would happen. Just as the phrase was about to leave his lips, Jennifer turned to him and said very loudly "Transform or Dare?!"
