Jen quickly came up with an excuse to stop him, then gently grabbed his upper left arm as he passed by. He stopped and turned to look at her. Suzy didn’t seem all that interested and went to her nearby locker.
“Hey, let go of my arm...” Billy urged.
Jen let go, “Sorry... I just wanted to ask if you’d seen my sister. You share a few classes with Jess Smith, right?”
Before Jen could finish her question he took on the same distant gaze as the previous few people she had touched.
After a few seconds he regained his focus, “Wait... You’re that girl who fell down in the cafeteria last week...”
Jen blushed, “Yea... Sorry for walking away like that... I was too embarrassed to say anything.”
“Don’t worry about it...” Billy replied. “So you’re Jess’s sister?”
“Hmm... I don’t see her in the mornings, but I’m sure she’ll be in study hall.”
“Want me to say you’re looking for her?”
Jen didn’t care to keep the conversation going and answered. “Nah, I’ll just catch up to her at lunch. Thanks though.”
He shrugged and continued down the hall, still sporting four arms.
Jen sighed. She couldn’t believe how many of them were willing to take the transformation over their normal body. She tried not to think about it and caught up to Suzy. She had already traded out a few books and was ready to head to study hall.
“So what now?” She asked.
Jen gave her a hug and said, “I’m gonna continue my mission. Lets meet up at lunch though.”
And with that, they parted ways...
