I walked over to the school where I knew the cheerleaders were practicing. There, on the football field, was my woman; Amanda Hochkiss. I stood over by the
bleachers and watched her practice her cheers with the others.
This was my chance to finally ask her out. Normally, she wouldn't even give me a chance to even speak a syllable before turning me down, but this was not a
normal time; not with my wishes.
"Okay. Take ten!" Ms. Johnson the science teacher/ cheerleading coach shouted out.
The girls broke up into their small groups and started chatting. And there was Amanda standing with two of her friends, Lisa Staymore and Garland Wilson. They
were giggling about something or another, probably one of the cute boys from varsity.
I waked up to them casually, like it's something I do everyday and stood next to Amanda. They ignored me at first but when they saw that I wasn't going to go
away, they turned to me.
"Can I help you?" Lisa asked in a questioning and condesending voice.
"I was hoping to speak with Amanda for a second."
The girls looked at each other and for a split second didn't say anything. Then they burst out into gales of laughter.
I looked at them, almost wanting to slink away and go back home but I stood firm. They didn't know what I had and that they were not in control...not anymore.
All I did was smile and looked at both Lisa and Garland.
"I wish you were both pigs." I said simply and once I said that, they stopped laughing. "And no one will notice that you are."
I could see that both girls noses started to rise up and flatten on their sun kissed faces. They tried to speak but only gutteral grunts came out. As their faces became
more swine like, I noticed that their fingers had fused together and became like hooves and their arms started to shorten.
With a squeal of protest, the two cheerleaders dropped to all fours and shrunk in their little uniforms. Soon they had become two pot bellied pigs, rooting around
the football field. No one seemed to notice the transformation, not even Amanda who was standing right there. she just kept staring at me.
"I wish you would go out with me Amanda." I said.
Amanda blinked, once, twice, then smiled. "Okay."
