As they rode, Jen thought about the boy that Suzy pinned to the wall that morning.
“What was his name? Kevin?... No... K something... Kyle?”
She remembered that Jess had something to do with his curse but decided not to ask with their mom in the front seat. She kept it in mind until they got home. Dad was preparing a roast when they arrived. Mom went to help out and Jen followed Jess to the living room.
“Hey Jess?” Jen asked, “Suzy used the curse on some kid this morning...”
“She handed him a piece of paper and said it was something you had helped with...”
Jess’s eyes lit up. “She found him?”
“Yea... Some kid named Kyle...” Jen added.
Jess smiled. “Heh... That little fucker. Lets see how he likes it...”
“How he likes what?” Jen asked
Jess raised an eyebrow. “Suzy didn’t tell you?”
“That was the asshole who cursed you.”
“Suzy and I dealt with him and also got rid of the curse for you.”
Jen shrugged. “I remember the call... And obviously the curse... But I don’t remember him having anything to do with it.”
“Then don’t worry about it.” Jess replied.
“I am worried... Tell me what you did.” Jen demanded.
Jess sighed. “Fine... What did he pick?”
“He got both... Suzy kept his mouth covered until he ran out of time...” Jen answered.
Jess laughed. “Way to go Suzy!”
“Which paper did she hand him?”
“He got the one with transform instructions.” Jen replied.
“What did Suzy do for the dare? Did she use the other sheet?” Jess continued.
“She just made him apologize to me. It was kind of weird.” Jen recalled.
“That's a lot nicer than I would have been...” Jess muttered.
“I had written some conditions for either choice, but we had hoped he would choose transform.”
“You remember your original curse, right?”
“We basically gave it to Kyle, except if he touched someone, their favorite body part would double on him...”
“So... If he touched Alex, for example, he’d grow four great big boobs.”
“I wouldn’t be surprised if he came to school wearing gloves from now on...”
“Don’t you think that’s a bit harsh?” Jen asked.
“Fuck no... Not after the shit he put us all through...” Jess argued.
“Besides, I wasn’t that mean about it... I applied the same conditions that made our changes seem normal to everyone. Of course, I excluded Suzy and us...”
Jen had a scary thought. “What’s to stop him from using the curse on someone else... Or one of us?”
“I set it up so the curse would end with him.” Jess smiled.
Jen didn’t know what else to say. If they felt that strongly about cursing Kyle, then maybe that boy did deserve it. If that was truly the end of the curse, she was glad.
Jen was satisfied with the explanation and started towards the hallway. “I think I’m gonna head over to Suzy’s house...”
“Are you mad at us for cursing Kyle?” Jess asked.
Jen stopped and thought for a moment before saying. “Nah... I’m not really worried about it. If you two think it needed to be done, then I’ll just trust that it was the right thing to do.”
“See ya later Jess...”
Jess returned the farewell as Jen stepped into the hall. She sent a quick text to Suzy to see if it was alright to stop by then got permission from her parents. Suzy was quick to reply. With her parent’s permission, she left the house...
“I wonder if she’s in the mood...” Jen thought as she walked down the sidewalk...
