Allen was an outcast… No-one around the school liked him.
It wasn’t that he wasn’t noticeable, it was that he stood out too much, at 6 foot 2 inches tall he was a giant ( Especially for a 15 year
old), which would be okay, if it weren’t for the fact his legs were only 32 inches, making him look like he had someone else’s legs
transplanted onto his body.
He was seen as a bit geeky, sitting in a corner reading books and hardly talking to anyone…
He didn’t even have that nice a face to look at some of the girls said.. He was just.. Plain.. Bar the height of course…
Mr Campbell, His Maths teacher, was away on a field trip.. So the class had no teacher.. Allen sat in the corner, reading his books as
usual.. When suddenly he felt something hit the back of his head and he drifted into unconsciousness…
He awoke in a place he had only been in once before… the football team’s locker room near the football field… he was tied up to a
hard wooden chair… a light was suddenly turned on, aimed right at his face.. He gulped and spoke..
“W… Why the hell am I here?”
He heard nothing.. Then a silhouette appeared in front of him.. And he heard a voice
“Turn the Light off.. He’s awake.”
Immediately he knew who it was, Austin Blake, Football Captain, “Officially” the buffest guy in the school…
“Aus… is this some sort of joke? Why did you knock me out and drag me HERE?”
Austin walked over to Allen…he had no shirt on, and it showed all his hard-earned muscles.
“ Well Allen… you might have noticed around this school we have… Groups… everyone has their own “Clique”, their own friends who
care about them and will help them through anything… Having these groups helps maintain the status quo.. Helps to keep the school
running.. Like little cogs in a clock… you.. Ain’t in any groups.. And We..” Allen looked around and noticed the rest of the football team
had suddenly appeared around him “ Are here to help…”
“What are you going to do?”
“ Well… there is something we can do… well…. I can do.. My sister Rhianna taught me how to do it.. She said to use it if needed… If I
use this…” He pulled an old watch out, the kind with a lid and chain on them “To hypnotise you.. And make you say something.. It will
come true.. For example…”
He walked over to Allen and puller a seat up, turned it around and saddled it.. He brought out the watch and waved it in front of Allen’s
Face
“Now repeat after me… I have a short fiery red mohawk.”
Allen could feel his mouth moving even though he wasn’t wanting to say anything..
“ I have a short fiery mohawk”
He felt a tingle rush through his body, Austin motioned to Lex, another jock to hand him a mirror, she turned it towards Allen… his
greasy medium length, Brown hair was slowly changing colour, changing to strawberry blonde before deepening to a deep, fiery red
colour. Then suddenly hair retracted into his scalp on the left and right sides of his head, and the center of his head gelled itself straight
up.
“That’s impossible.. This can’t be happening… I’m still sitting in maths knocked out.. That’s all…”
Austin was paying no attention…
“Now what can you be…..”
