Part One: Unrequited Love
It was no surprise that Scott Yunker, a shy overweight student in his senior year at Steg high school would become smitten with Amber Parnell. After all in the eyes of most of the male students Amber was a real babe. A slim curvaceous figure, long blond mane, and a beautiful face that could of easily been on the cover of any fashion magazine.
Though deep in her heart Amber was pretentious, snobby, vain and superficial. Amber was so popular, she was even co-captain of the cheerleading squad. A natural athlete and beauty queen, Amber was at the top of Steg high's social ladder. Though among Ambers many flaws was the fact that she took little interest in many of her courses, especially math which she actually hated!
It was late September when Mrs. Noriss, the Asst. vice principal informed Amber that unless her grade point average in math improved she would be cut from the cheerleading squad. Amber had no choice, she needed a tutor, and this brought Scott Yunker into the picture. Scott was a math wizard, a big brain so to speak, and Ambers only hope to remain on the squad. Amber made Scott feel accepted, flirting with him, showering him with compliments, and even bending his ear with her selfish little problems.
Scott went down with the punch; he actually thought Amber cared about him. Though in the company of her friends and behind his back, it was a different tune. Amber would make all kinds of Frivolous, sometimes even cruel remarks about Scott. Making fun of his weight, greasy looking hair, and acne covered face. On an early November evening over the telephone, Amber conversed with her number one confidante, Misty Miles.
Misty was another generic looking cheerleader, short silky black hair, an ever so cute face, and slender figure. As the Two friends conversed, Misty began to tease Amber about Scott.
"So tomorrow afternoon you gonna hook up with your boyfriend?"
Amber replied in disgust, "Don't make me barf, the guy's a troll. Actually, since my grades are up I'm free from Scott as of tomorrow".
Misty continued to needle Amber, "Going to give him a goodbye kiss?"
Amber laughed, "Yeah right, with your lips!" Amber then became serious, "That guy is so fat he make's me sick!"
Misty concurred, "You are so right, yuck!"
Amber continued bashing Scott, "He hasn't a clue about style, none of his clothes match, he always carries that stupid Star Wars book bag loaded with junk food, and his pockets are over stuffed with pens..."
Misty interrupted, "What a nerd!"
Amber would add in a happy tone, "I'm so glad after tomorrow I won't have to deal with that oinker any more."
The conversation changed in topic, as Amber brought up a former friend of theirs, "Speaking of Fatties, I ran into Candi Theron yesterday. Oh my gosh, she has gotten so huge!"
Misty, true to character added her own catty remarks, "I know, she's a porker, big time!"
Amber laughed, "The girl needs a tent!"
The two friends continued their ridicule of Candi as Amber brought up the fact, "Y'know up to last year Candi and I wore the same size wardrobe."
Misty asked, "You don't think we'll end up like Candi, do you?"
Amber assured Misty, "Of course not, we'll always stay slim."
Though in her heart, Amber would love to see Misty put on a few pounds. After the phone call came to a close, Amber got ready to take a shower. In the bath room Amber looked over her sleek form, and rubbing her tight tone tummy thought to herself out loud, "I AM SO HOT!!!!!!!!"
The next day at school, Amber looked scrumptious in an orange tank top, and tight black Gap jeans, her lovely golden mane hanging over her shoulders. Walking over to Scott in the study hall, Amber announced, "You've been real sweet to me Scottie, but now that my grade point average is up I no longer need your help."
As Amber swayed her slender feminine body out of the study hall, Scott followed. Turning around Amber smiled at Scott who tailed her like a lost puppy. Placing her hand on her hip Amber asked in a sweet, yet demanding tone, "You want something Scott?"
"Well", Scott replied, as he pushed up his glasses, drew a breath and closing his eyes for a second Scott continued, "I've really had a lot of fun tutoring you, and I was wondering if maybe you'd like to go to the movies with me, or something?"
Becoming all the more nervous Scott's squeaky voice hit an even higher pitch, "If you want too?"
Swinging her hips, Amber slowly walked over to Scott. Amber purred in a soft and sexy voice, "When Scott, when would you like to take me to the movies?"
A crowd of students gathered as Scott's glasses ran down his nose, and Amber gently pushed them back up. Scott felt nervous, excited and confused. Scott's voice cracked as he replied, "Saturday! How about Saturday?"
Amber bit her lip, and brushed her ample breasts against Scott's body as she sarcastically lied, "Oh Scott, what girl wouldn't find you attractive, you’re so cute."
Taking a step back, Amber showed her true colors, "Look at me Scott, I'm a major babe! Fat guys like you aren't even in my league, why would I want to socialize with an oinker like you? Get real."
Amber turned and made tracks down the hall, as Scott's head sank into his chest. All this time Scott thought he was building a new friendship, if nothing else. Bad enough she rejected him, she made sport of him as well. Later that evening at a local coffee shop, as Scott had his nose buried in an Edgar Rice Burrough's novel, and enjoying a cup of flavored coffee he discovered standing above him Debbie Kamberos, a.k.a. Raven.
Raven, a plump voluptuous 18-year-old maiden was Scott's best friend. A Goth wannabe, Raven's beauteous 175lbs body was dressed all in black, with exception to her metallic blue fish net stockings, complete with holes. Her chubby, rather pretty face wore turquoise eye shadow, and her long coal black hair had streaks of sapphire.
Scott and Raven shared the same circle of friends, whom the popular students deemed unworthy to associate with. Raven, loved Scott as a brother, and admired his many virtues. Raven, coffee cup in hand sat down besides Scott, and as she pulled a package of cigarettes from out of her purse, Scott informed her that smoking wasn't allowed in the coffee shop.
"Come off it Raven, you don't even inhale."
Raven raised her eyebrows, "Yeah, but I'm willing to learn."
Raven, putting the smokes away asked, "Well, did you ask her?"
Scott folded his arms against his chest, "Yes Raven, I did."
Raven inquired further, "What did she say?"
Scott gave Raven all the assorted details, and she became furious, "THAT NARCISSISTIC LITTLE BITCH!!!!!! You are so better off without that stick chick anyways! I don't even know what you saw in Amber in the first place?"
Scott tried to explain, "I guess while talking with her I sensed she lacked attention, and self-esteem. I thought beneath all that pompous bullshit Amber was really a decent person. She even had me believing that we made a connection, only to later humiliate me."
Raven was full of rage, "I hope Amber and her whole snobby clique get what they deserve!"
The next day at school Raven spotted Amber and Misty walking down the hall. Amber looked very much the blond bombshell in a tight navy blue T-shirt, and white shorts. Raven yelled, "I want to talk to you glamour queen!!!!!"
Amber turned to Misty, "Is she calling me?"
Misty shrugged her shoulders, "I haven't clue?"
Walking at a fast pace Raven reached Amber and got into her face, "Y'know Scott really pulled your bony little butt out of the fire, couldn't you at least spent an afternoon with him or something, I mean the guy really liked you, and not only did you turn him down, you mocked him on top of it!"
Amber drew a wicked grin, "I don't associate with misfits, anyway what do we have in common? I'm popular and beautiful, Scott's just a nerdy pig, a world class oinker."
Raven defended her best friend; "I've news for you Amber Parnell! Scott is a genuine sensitive, caring young man, the likes of which I doubt you'll ever attract."
Amber laughed, "Yeah right chubbs, if Scott is so hard up for female attention I've some advice for him. Maybe he should lower his standards and try for some nerdy fat chick. I know opposites are suppose to attract, though in his case that's about all he'll have a chance with."
Amber then brushed Raven aside, and with Misty continued her journey down the hall.
"Okay Amber", Raven surmised, "Have it your way."
Part Two: Raven's Spell
After school Raven went right home, and searched the basement for an old book that her Aunt had given her the previous summer. Bought in an antique store, Raven's Aunt had given her the book as a gift since Raven was interested in the macabre. Navy blue in color, and no title upon its jacket, it was a book of spells. A full two hours later Raven discovered it under a pile of her brother's Playboy magazines. "Maybe Auntie Bernice just gave me this book to amuse myself with, but with a bit of luck I'll find a spell that'll do the trick."
Raven was delighted, for as she looked through the book she happened upon the exact spell she needed. Following every detail down to the letter, Raven snatched a Barbie doll from her younger sister, and wrote in black marker, AMBER PARNELL upon it. Raven then placed the doll between a candle and a small upright standing mirror, and she read from the book out loud, "Slim, attractive and vain, not anymore, let your superficial snobby self, be turned inside out, for today you'll change into what you abhor!!!!!!!" As Raven completed the spell, the candle was mysteriously blown out, and the mirror cracked. Raven smiled, "It worked!"
Just then over at the Gap, as Amber was looking over some jeans a odd thought entered into her head, "Why am I shopping here when I can buy 4 pairs of jeans over at K-Mart, for the price of 1 pair here?"
Amber walked right out of the store and spotted a fast food restaurant across the street. "I'm so hungry, and dinners not for a few more hours, I could use a little snack to hold me until then." Once inside the restaurant, Amber was promptly waited on, "I'll have Two double hamburgers, a large fry, a jumbo chocolate shake, an order of onion rings."
After her meal Amber went straight home, and then for some odd reason challenged her younger brother to a chess match. Mike, 16, never knew his sister to do anything cerebral, let alone be nice to him. "Since when do you play chess?"
Amber made a silly face, "Afraid you'll lose to a girl?"
Mike went and got the game from under his bed, and met up with his sister in the family room, munching on some cookies. As they played, Mike couldn't resist, but ask Amber, "Since when did you start eating sweets?"
Amber slumped over the chess board, foregoing the good posture she had been known for, "I don't know Mike, for some reason dieting seems so stupid and superficial now, Just like the designer clothes I used to buy."
An hour later, and after Amber claimed victory in the chess match, their Mother served dinner. At the dinner table Amber put the food away like there was no tomorrow, 4 big pork chops, 2 baked potatoes with extra sour cream and covered in butter, 4 helpings of kidney beans, and for dessert (Which Amber always used to avoid) a large bowl of Ice cream. After dinner, Amber laid across the couch and watched the discovery channel on cable, mysteriously forgetting to meet up with Misty and a few other friends at a local hangout. The rest of the night Amber spent reading a variety of items including her brother's collection of science fiction magazines. All the while snacking on chips, dip and cola.
Next day during gym class, Amber was so awkward and clumsy; she couldn't help tripping over her own feet. Worst yet, it was her favorite sport, volleyball! Amber was like a novice in the game, her skills nonexistent. Afterwards in the girls locker room, as they changed out of their gym uniforms, Misty had a few words for Amber, "We lost the game on account of you!"
Amber was about to defend herself for being held responsible for losing the game, when suddenly she became submissive, and in a newly acquired nasal sounding voice told Misty, "I'm sorry, I'll try harder next time."
Misty took a step back and noticed Amber's feminine form. Standing in only her bra and panties, Amber's body lacked serious muscle tone. The start of love handles hugged her waist, as her once flat tummy was now soft, and rounded with a flabby little pouch. Amber's butt had spread and increased in size, and the touch of saddlebags hung onto her previously sleek thighs.
Misty smiled, "Amber, your getting fat!"
Amber looked down to her belly, seeing how it bulged over her panties, and put her hand onto her plump thighs.
Misty continued, "Just look at you! In a couple of months you and Candi will be sharing wardrobes!"
A crowd of girls surrounded Amber, adding their own unsavory remarks, "Say something Porky!"
Misty laughed, "Yeah, how about oink, oink!"
Amber felt no longer among her peers and whined, "Why are you being so mean to me?"
Sandy Hill, another cheerleader with short brown hair, and slim figure looked to Misty, "Y'know I don't think Amber is exactly cheerleading material, after all we can't have a fattie on the squad."
Misty concurred, "Doesn't your friend Terri want to join the squad?"
Sandy shook her head yes and Misty replied, "Tell her we have an opening," Turning to Amber, she added, "Get lost porky!"
Amber grabbed her books, though dropping them as she fled out of the locker room. As Amber walked down the hall towards her next class she ran into Candi Theron. Whose attractive face resembled Cindy Crawford was a full figured beauty. Her auburn hair was done in a perfect French braid, as her sensual 184 lbs body sported a white T-shirt that showcased her ample breasts, and khaki slacks that complimented her round, full derriere.
Some of the popular clique would tease Candi about the weight she put on over the previous year, but it didn't bother Candi at all. Even though Candi rarely socialized with the more popular students, she was secure in her identity, and even had her share of male admirers. Candy called out to Amber, "Hey Amber! Do you have a second?!"
Though once friends back in Candi's slimmer days, they rarely spoke any more, the exception being Amber’s rude comments about Candi's girth.
"What is it?" Amber asked as she accidentally bumped into a male student who sneered, "Watch it Nerd!"
Amber dropped her books again, and as Candi helped pick them up, she went into details, "Jenni's having a sleep over Saturday, and she told me I could invite one guest, so I thought you might want to join us."
Amber's first thought was to tell Candi to go to Hell. She never gave, Jenni a Flat chested, nerdy chick the time of day, nor did she ever want to associate with the fuller figured Candi; after all she was so superior to her. Though as Candi continued to speak, Amber started to feel that she some how belonged in their circle, "We're going to order deep dish pizza, watch Saturday Night Live, and play rummy."
Amber smiled, "YES! That would be so AWESOME!!!!!!"
Oddly enough Amber felt accepted, and made plans on being there. During English class, Amber had a hard time getting comfortable while sitting. Her clothes had gotten tight, especially her jeans, which she wore tight in the first place. Afterwards, Amber made a stop at the vending machine for some candy bars, when her boyfriend Dan Raske approached.
Dan who happened to be Steg high's star football player was a good-looking young man with blond hair and wide shoulders. Right away Dan could see a change in Ambers appearance, her former golden blond mane was now blondish-brown in color, less lustrous, and not nearly as thick. Ambers face had also changed, losing her refine sculptured facial features; her face was now a little chubby, with the hint of a double chin. Her face also seemed rather oily and covered with few pimples. In her red and yellow top, and black jeans, Dan could see the added pounds that claimed Ambers body, especially the rolls in her mid section and tummy bulge, which were exposed when Ambers shirt rode up her back while bending over to get the candy bars in the machine.
"Your not really going to eat all of those, are you?" Dan asked as Amber pulled her shirt back down, though her love handles slightly peeked out over her jeans.
Amber replied, "I've a biology exam and everyone knows how chocolate affects the neural transmitters in your brain, helping you to think more accurately."
Dan was amazed, "How did you get so smart?"
Amber also questioned her increase in intelligence, "Yeah, how did I know that?"
Before Dan could reply, his thoughts were interrupted. Dan stood there looking at Amber, as his memory of her was erased. Dan couldn't comprehend what he was doing talking to this nerdy chick, who after taking a bite out of her candy bar asked, "So Danny, want to walk me to my next class?"
Not only did he find her unattractive and her nasal sounding voice was rather irritating. As Amber offered Dan a bite of the candy bar, he noticed Misty walking down the hall. All decked out in a hot pink halter-top, and white jeans, Dan raced over to Misty, taking her hand as he reached her.
Misty leaned her head onto Dan's shoulder, "That your new girlfriend?"
Dan shook his head no, "I can't help it if chicks come on to me, even nerd chicks like that one."
Misty's memory of Amber was likewise altered, "Yeah, she's in my gym class, her name is Amber, but we all call her Porky."
Amber stood there in shock, "If Danny would rather associate with a conceited tramp like Misty, he deserves her."
Amber closed her eyes in disbelief, "What did I just say?"
Later in the day, once Amber arrived home from school, she went straight to her room, and got undressed. Amber removed her top and flung it across the room. Looking down to her breasts, she was amazed by their increase in size. Amber then unzipped her jeans, her bulging belly poured out of her pants. "This isn't me", Amber whined as she stood in front of the mirror looking at her reflection.
Putting on some gray sweats, Amber was about to leave her room when all of a sudden an odd sensation over came her. A cold chill swept through her body, leaving her both numb and dizzy. Plopping down onto the floor, Amber had no idea of what was happening. Everything Amber knew about fashion was drained from her mind, along with her skills in cosmetics. Amber’s skin then became milky white, losing all of her golden tan. Acne covered her face, as freckles appeared on her neck, shoulders, and breasts. Her hair became a dull reddish-brown in color, limp, and greasy looking.
Amber’s body started to change as well! As her weight slowly increased, her face became round and pudgy with very chubby cheeks, and a distinct double chin. Her breasts became huge, and sagged due to their weight onto her enormous belly, as thick rolls lined her waist, and her once slim hip's spread out exceedingly wide, covered by an inch layer of fat. Amber’s posterior was not only big, but stuck out and laid upon her bulky, massive thighs.
Once Amber regained her wits, she discovered her vision blurred. Instinctively, Amber found a pair of old fashion granny looking glasses on her nightstand, and put them on. Amber’s mouth opened in shock, for her once fashionable bedroom had also changed. Posters of pop singers and television stars covered her wall, romance, and science fiction novels laid upon her dresser, nightstand, and floor. Dirty dishes and bowls, as well as empty ice cream cartons were scattered all over her room. Amber then rubbed her corpulent belly, "This can't be happening!"
Running into the bathroom, Amber pulled out the scale and o'most fainted when it read 286 lbs! Amber stood looking at the reflection of her new pear shaped, butterball body in the mirror, then glanced at her round, fat pudgy face. Then from outside the bathroom, she heard her brother call, "Amber, you in there?"
"Yes Mike", Amber replied in a whiny sounding voice, and then she opened the door.
Mike was natural as if this was the way Amber had always looked. "Mom and Dad are out for the evening and I've a date with Alexis, so you'll have the house to yourself." Amber was in shock; Mike didn't notice a thing different about her appearance, "Look at me Mike! Can't you tell?"
Mike looked at his sister, all he actually noticed was how the sweats barely contained Ambers girth, "I'm not really sure Amber?"
Mike shrugged his shoulders and Amber went into details, "I've gotten fat, my face has broken out, I've become near sighted, and worst of all Dan treated me like a stranger while Misty made fun of me. She even dropped me from the cheerleading squad!"
Mike's memory of Amber was also altered, "Misty Miles has made fun of you since 7th grade and when did you ever date Dan Raske, or were even a cheerleader?"
Amber’s mouth opened in disbelief, "I was co-captain of the squad!" Amber could see her brother didn't believe her, "Okay, I’ll prove it to you!"
Amber ran to her room to retrieve her photo album, her thick thighs rubbing together as she moved. As they looked through the album, not one photograph of Amber as a cheerleader was found, let alone a slim Amber. Only photos of an overweight young maiden in various stages of life appeared.
Mike took Amber’s hand, and they sat down together on a couch in the living room. "Amber I know you've been heavy all your life and I understand you have some issue's with your self-esteem. You want to be popular and date guys like Dan, so I don't blame you. Though, your intelligent and nice, and I know someday you'll find a nice guy whose perfect for you."
Mike looked to his watch, "Hey! I have to run, we'll continue this conversation later."
After kissing his sister on the forehead, Mike was out the door. Amber sat on the couch, checking out her beefy thighs. So big in fact, she could no longer cross her legs. Amber then glanced over to her large breasts that were ridiculously huge, when impulsively she thought, "I'm so very hungry!"
Amber got off the couch so fast, her big portly belly flopped out over her sweat pants! In the kitchen and in the heat of the moment, Amber’s new desire became a lust for food. A love affair that started with pudding, then some left over spaghetti, 5 hot dogs from right out of the package, a whole bag of cookies, and a gallon of milk, which Amber drank out of the carton. The rest of the evening Amber watched television and continued eating, right up to bedtime.
Part Three: The New Amber
At the break of dawn, Amber’s first thoughts were, "I can't wait to get to math class!"
After taking a shower Amber got dressed and for a young woman who once took 30 minutes to decide on what to wear, Amber just put on what she thought looked nice, her fashion sense now absent from her mind. In this case a pair of powder blue overalls, an oversize pink T-shirt, and a yellow sweater, which she buttoned all the way. Amber then slid a comb through her hair, not taking the time she once took in prepping her mane. Without the knowledge she once had in the use of cosmetics, Amber didn't even try a dab of lipstick, or a hint of blush! Amber was now lost in that arena.
After a huge breakfast Amber loaded a fair amount of pens and pencils into her bib overall pockets and with her Xena book bag in hand was out the door off to school, when she discovered Mike's girlfriend Alexis walking towards the house. Alexis was a very pretty young maiden, who wasn't preppy enough to hang out with the popular clique, but fell somewhere in between the elite and the misfits of Steg high school. Alexis had shoulder length brown hair, with blond streaks, and her slim body wore a snazzy red pull over and gray slacks. Amber used to believe she was superior to Alexis and would often make a point of it. Though now Amber felt inferior to her and envious as well.
"Hi Amber, good to see you, I've come to walk Mike to school."
Amber smiled, "Nice to see you too."
Alexis grabbed hold of Amber’s upper arm, "Y'know Amber, I invited you on that outing with me and my friends. However, they just don't get along with you, they'll only tease you and give you a hard time, so why not take a rain check and in a couple of weeks we'll do something together."
Amber thought to herself, "What is she talking about?
Alexis always wants to hang out with me and my friends, after all we're...."Amber’s thought's changed, "Alexis is so cool!"
Amber replied, "That would be so awesome Alexis! I would love to hang out with you!!!"
After a short conversation with Alexis, Amber was off to school. At school the once slim and popular Amber was now just another student, an unpopular fat girl whom most of the guys would ignore and the more popular females would shun. The first part of the day Amber was teased a little by a few students, though one guy did ask her nicely if she had an extra pencil during math class. The only other students that spoke to Amber were the social misfits she once rejected and looked down upon. They treated Amber as a friend after all she had become one of them.
Around mid-day as Amber entered the cafeteria for lunch, she looked towards the tables where Misty and all of the popular students sat. Amber’s heart told her she belonged with them, but her mind told her otherwise. As Amber walked into the tray line, she bumped into Dan Raske who looked at Amber as if he didn't know her, "Hey! Watch where you’re going!"
Then Dan joined Misty with the rest of their friends over at the table of the social elite. After Amber had her food tray filled with a variety of food, she sat down with the very same students she once used to avoid. Candi approached the table looking as attractive as ever, in a Chicago Blackhawks jersey and black spandex. Sitting next to Amber, Candi went into details over her newest boyfriend. As Candi spoke, Amber was filled with envy. Candi's luscious auburn hair looked perfect, and with just a hint of makeup, complimented her beautiful face.
Amber scrutinized Candi's body with the realization that she was now a good 100 lbs heavier then Candi, matter of fact Amber's one thigh was o'most as big as both of Candi's thighs put together. Candi's wardrobe showcased her gorgeous fuller figure and she had the air of confidence about herself. Amber actually felt inferior to Candi. The conversation changed as Candi told Amber, "Y'know back before I became chubby, I know that I often teased you, thinking I was so superior to you because I was slim and you weren't. I know better now Amber, who'd of thought I would have to gain weight before I would discover my best friend."
Amber was feeling bad enough already, now she felt even worse! Amber stood up, "I have to run Candi, see ya later?"
Candi smiled, "Sure, I'll stop over to see you at home, ‘k?"
Amber shook her head and replied, "Okay."
Amber went down the hall and entered a rest room. Looking into the mirror Amber thought to herself, "This is all a bad dream."
Though reality would bite her in the ass in the form of Misty Miles. As Misty walked into the rest room, Amber observed Misty's svelte figure wearing a skintight black outfit. Misty noticed Amber looking at her, "Stop looking at me Porky, you’re giving me the creeps."
Amber gave Misty a half smile, "Don't you remember me Misty? We're friends."
Misty raised her eyebrows and with a look of surprise announced, "When were we ever friends? Why would I ever associate with you?"
Amber's glasses slid down her nose, "I don't really understand what happen, some how I've changed into a…"
Misty cut her off, "A FAT NERD. I don't know what you’re trying to pull Porky, but you've been an oinker as long as I've known you."
Amber pushed her glasses back up her nose, "Misty! You have to remember me! The way that I was, our friendship!"
Misty put her hand onto her hip, "Listen, your not even in the same league as me," Misty then ran her hands over her slender, curvaceous shape, "I'm sooooo hot, your a fattie! A real sow, not even one bit attractive. While I'm not only stunning, I'm sophisticated, elegant and refine. Now leave me alone so I can take a shit!"
Amber ran out of the rest room and down the hall, sneaking into an empty classroom to gather her thoughts. As Amber sat reflecting on current events and eating a candy bar, she heard someone from outside the classroom say, "See ya Raven!"
That made sense to Amber, "Raven, she had something to do with this!"
Leaping off from her chair, Amber rushed out of the classroom, ran up to Raven and body slammed her up against a locker. Pressing Raven onto the locker with her newly acquired girth, Amber asked, "What did you do to me?"
Raven pushed Amber from off her body. "Look at you Amber, your even fatter then I am, a lot fatter! Your over 100 lbs heavier then me!"
Raven covered her mouth trying to contain her laughter, though it didn't work making Amber all the more angry, "What did you do to me bitch!"
Still laughing Raven replied, "Do what?"
Amber's glasses slid down her nose as her voice cracked, "You put a spell on me because I wouldn't go out with your spazz friend Scott," Just then a foreign thought entered Amber's mind, "Why would I do that? Scott is so cute!"
Raven broke Ambers train of thought, "Matter of fact your correct, I did put a spell on you. How do you like life outside the popular circle?"
Amber yelled, "Change me back!!!"
An insidious smirk touched Ravens face as she replied, "Tisk, tisk, Porky it's so unlike your nature to raise your voice."
Amber’s emotions changed, instead of anger she felt fear and self-pity. "Why do you call me Porky?"
Raven pushed Amber's glasses back up her nose, "That's your nickname, isn't it? Everyone calls you Porky."
Amber shook her head in agreement. Raven circled Amber as she continued, "The old pretentious Amber never existed, and no one has any recollection of your former self, except you and me. You’re just another unpopular nerdy fat girl. Everything you once knew about fashion, all your flirting skills, your athletic ability is forever gone."
Raven ran her finger over Amber's thick double chin, "Dan and most of the other guys will ignore you, Misty and all those other snobby chicks will continue to taut you," Amber's head sunk into her chest as Raven went on, "Your best friend is Candi who your envious of, your I.Q. has increased, though your also a compulsive overeater."
Raven spotted Scott walking towards their direction, and in a musical tone told Amber, "Amber, Scott is coming this way."
At first Amber thought, "Oh shit! That's all I need," though Amber's thoughts quickly changed, "Oh, Scott is so cute!"
As Scott approached the two young women, Amber became shy and uncomfortable turning from his direction. Raven took hold of Amber's hand, "Don't be so shy, after all your smitten with Scott aren't you?"
Amber shook her head yes, as Raven turned Amber's body around to face Scott. The new Amber found Scott attractive and had a major crush on him, though without her confidence she felt extremely nervous to be around any guy, especially one she liked.
Raven whispered into Amber's ear, "What's the matter? Too shy to talk to a boy?" Then with a smile added, "But you find Scott so hot!"
Amber looked at Scott as he arrived and blushed. Raven was right, Amber thought Scott was hot. Raven let loose Amber's hand and walked to Scott, "Guess who is very fond of you?"
Scott looked to Amber and smiled, "You can walk me to my speech and drama class if you'd like to Amber?"
Amber, much too shy to make eye contact and still blushing, shook her head and replied in a low soft voice, "Yes Scott, I'd like that."
Raven took a step back, "You two look like the perfect couple!"
As Scott and Amber walked down the hall together, he took hold of her hand and Amber smiled.
Epilogue
As the school year went on Scott and Amber became an item. Scott actually started to take care of his appearance, dropping a few pounds, wearing more stylish clothes, and washing his hair more often. Amber, though missing the cat calls and the whole popular clique at first, finally accepted her new station among the student body, and life in general. Candi and Alexis did help Amber in the use of cosmetics, and with a more fashionable wardrobe, though Amber did continue to gain weight, peaking at 327 lbs by the time she entered college.
Raven eventually dropped the pseudo-Goth routine, started to dress preppy and called herself Debbie again, after meeting the man of her dreams, a.k.a. Dan Raske while attending nursing school. Amber and Debbie even became good friends, and stood up to each other’s wedding. Scott became a marketing analyst and Amber, whose passion became math, became an accountant. Though still shy and awkward, yet vibrant in her own way, Amber discovered Scott to be the one true love in her life.
