The three of us were the best of friends, we grew up together, went to the same schools, we were all magic users, which that alone gave us an advantage over most people, although we didn’t abuse it. Our powers were very specific. Stacy was exceptionally talented at curses and offensive magic, Josh excelled at defensive magic and calming charms, I could heal and use holy magic. Although my magic was rare and highly desired especially the healing aspect, my holy magic was almost useless as it was only affective against demons and the undead, which in the modern world there weren’t many of and the ones that remained made sure to live civil lives to stay under the radar. Anyways things changed in our junior year of high school, my two best friends started spouting a bunch of nonsense about Stacy actually being a guy and Josh was actually a girl, at first I was supportive but when the changes started from the magically enhanced hormones they started taking.. well I’m ashamed of what I did but I thought my two best friends were being replaced with someone else, I couldn’t handle it so I cut them off. 

I started hanging out with a dark magic user who went by the name of Drake. 

Drake had a strong bigoted hate for the lgbtq community, something I didn’t quit agree with him on but I didn’t want to lose my new friend. 

All of junior year I joined in on his harassment of my former friends, by the end of the year I was making Josh, now going by Katie, Cry almost on a daily basis. 

Stacy now going by Derek, gave me death glares every time he saw me, although their bodies had changed drastically to match the gender they identified with, Derek was still a small guy and he knew without using his magic on me, which was forbidden by law, he couldn’t possibly stand a chance against me in a one on one fight and so all he did was glare while I smirked and laughed at him to impress Drake. I know what you’re thinking.. I’m a piece of shit and you’re right to think that because I was. 

By the end of junior Year Katie and Derek avoided me in every class we shared, I couldn’t blame them, I’d become a horrible bully.

On the last day of junior year Derek and Katie walked up to me as I was getting in my car, already excited for summer break and planning on getting shit faced with Drake.

Derek slammed my car door as I was opening it, I stood up, prepared for a fight but that didn’t happen, he just looked up at me with a smug smile on his face.

“Hey Lance, hope you enjoy your summer.” Derek laughed, I failed to notice his hand was glowing red as he slapped me on the shoulder.

“Hope it’s a good one bro!” He said as he and Katie walked away.

“That was odd..” I mumbled to myself as I opened my car door again and got inside. 

I started the engine and drove towards Drake’s house excited to try some new drugs and play some mindless shooter game with my edgy friend.

~~~~~~~~

A month into summer break and I was starting to feel off. My clothes weren’t fitting as well as they used to, I was losing weight without actually trying and I could swear that I was getting shorter but I kept telling myself it was all in my imagination, I was a growing guy after all, puberty tended to do weird things from what I’d read online, so I stupidly ignored the changes. 

The last week of summer break was even more odd, you see I only had my mom, just me and her, no other family. She’d been acting strange, suddenly forgetting she had a son, startled at me coming in the house but quickly recovering and remembering who I was. It was strange, I’d urged her to see a doctor but whenever she forgot who I was she didn’t remember forgetting after she recovered. 

It was so bizarre in every way possible.

Break finally ended and I was on my way to my first day of senior year, I was excited to meet Drake in homeroom, this was were he often started shit with Katie and Derek and unfortunately being the coward that I was, I often joined in with him.

I parked my beast of a mustang, something I was quite proud of, in the student parking lot, got out and with a grin on my face I headed for class.

~~~~~~~~~~~

I didn’t fail to notice all the stares I was getting as I walked through the halls to homeroom. 

I knew my clothes were baggy and I’d lost a lot of weight but I didn’t think it was that noticeable.

I walked through the door and frowned, Drake wasn’t there, in fact apparently he’d dropped out and moved across country yesterday out of the blue and hadn’t told me. 

I took my seat, feeling a bit lonely as I looked around. 

Suddenly Katie and Derek walked through the door, my jaw dropped as I saw them and they smirked at me. Katie was gorgeous, even I had to admit that, if I hadn’t known she was trans I wouldn’t have been able to tell, she was busty, five foot nine and brunette, she was wearing a beautiful dress that showed off her curves and figure rather well. Derek on the other hand was huge. 

He was freaking ripped, I could see the eight pack Abs underneath his tight T shirt, he was well over six foot tall now, which was odd I didn’t know hormones could do this much, although I guess it made sense, they were enhanced by magic and I really didn’t know much about them. 

They took their seats and I suddenly felt very weak and nauseous, class started and I caught Katie and Derek both sneaking peaks at me, smirking every time I caught them.

What the hell was wrong with everyone today, I knew I didn’t look that weird, I’d just lost a lot of weight for fucks sake!

Class ended and I quickly got up, I felt my stomach churn painfully and I resisted the urge to puke. 

I tried to eat my lunch but I simply couldn’t, I felt too sick, not only that but I was incredibly lonely, sitting by myself at a table.

I felt sicker and sicker as my classes passed, by the final period I’d had about enough. I excused myself to go see the nurse and left the classroom. 

On my way there I decided to take a short cut, at the end of the corridor on the first floor there was a small room that the school stoners often hung out in. It was a stairwell that led up all three floors and was barely used, most used the newly installed elevator that had been put In place in my freshman year at this school. 

There also wasn’t any working smoke detectors hence why all the delinquents and druggies hung out in the stairwell. 

When I got there however it was empty, abandoned. 

I started up the first step before I felt a sudden sickening pain, I fell backwards to the floor with a groan. I heard footsteps behind me and slowly turned around as I got up from the floor. I saw the smiling faces of Katie and Derek.

“Hey lance, not feeling so well?” Derek said with a shit eating smirk on his face.

“No.. not really.” I said in a meek voice.

I hated to admit it but Derek was very intimidating now.

“Here let me help you to the nurses office.” He said as he held out his hand.

I raised my eyebrow and looked up at him.

Odd.. I used to look down at him.. Katie too now that I’d noticed it. I shrugged.. maybe It was the hormones, maybe they’d forgiven me. 

I’d apologize for how I’d treated them afterwards I thought to myself.

I grasped Derek’s hand and a red pulsing light flashed through him and into me, I fell back down to the floor and let out an ear piecing shriek in pain, I curled up on the floor as I suddenly started sobbing. The pain was so intense I couldn’t help myself.

Katie decided to speak up at the moment.

“Derek are you sure we should be doing this to him?” She winced as she looked at me writhing on the floor.

“Why the fuck do you care, after the year long torment he dished out to us, I figured you’d be happy. I certainly am. Just let the curse finish it’s work.”

“He’s still our friend..” Katie mumbled.

I felt my bones cracking, my organs rearranging, my face twisted in agony as it changed, I was absolutely swimming in my clothes now. I felt fleshy bumps of fat begin to grow on my chest, they grew and grew until I was sporting a rather large pair of tits that shook and jiggled every time I moved. I blinked as the pain subsided and I looked down at my body. 

My clothes had fallen off of me I was so small, I sat on the cold concrete floor naked. I looked up at my two former friends and tried to cover myself with my oversized hoodie. 

Derek yanked it away from me and I shivered in fear at how easily he had done so. 

I thought he was huge before but now he was a giant compared to me. 

I looked down at my body in horror, I didn’t even resemble myself in any way or form anymore. 

I had a slick wet pussy between my plump thighs, my little feet and hands hadn’t been this small since I was eight years old, I had long black hair that went down to my waist which was now incredibly slim. My hips jutted out and were huge for my now small body, my ass was plump and cushiony. 

My nails on both my feet and hands suddenly turned a dark inky black, I felt my eyes and lips itch as makeup was magically applied to them.

I looked up at Derek with a whimper and reached out for my hoodie, 

I felt so embarrassed, my now pale skin no doubt showed how flushed my face was.

“Cmon Derek give him his hoodie.” Katie said as she gently pulled on his arm.

He laughed and threw the Hoodie at me, I quickly put in on and realized just how small I’d become. It was like a freaking dress on me now.

“I gotta admit this look suits you so much better, huh Emily.” Derek said with a huge grin, he threw his backpack to the ground and dug around in it until he retrieved a small hand mirror, he handed it to me and I gawked at my reflection. 

Staring back at me was a gorgeous pale petite Goth girl, I reached up and tried to wipe off the black lipstick stained on my plump lips but it wouldn’t come off, I tried the same with the heavy dark eyeliner and eyeshadow and once again it wouldn’t come off. I shuddered as I looked down at my hyper feminine body. I felt disgusting, despite being attracted to my own appearance I knew this was now my body, I wanted to puke, not even a hint of masculinity was left. 

“I.. I don’t understand.. why did you do this?” I said as I looked up at my former friend’s cruel face, my lip was trembling, I was on the verge of having a panic attack. 

Everything felt so wrong, my voice sounded so high and feminine I wanted to rip my throat out.

“Are you joking? You and that asshole spent the last year bullying us! You made Katie cry almost every night! I cursed you both on the last day of junior year, you definitely deserve it.” He spat at me.

“I was just following his lead..” I said as tears started pouring from my eyes.

“Yeah well that doesn’t make it any better now does it?” Derek said with venom in his voice.

Suddenly he grabbed me by the collar of my way oversized hoodie and slammed me against the wall.

“Derek what are you doing!” Katie said with a panic as I looked up at Derek, terror and fear obvious on my face.

“I’ve been waiting for this for so long, he can’t do anything to stop me.” Derek snarled.

I flinched as he pulled his fist back and punched me hard in the face, I let out a shriek from the pain and started crying harder. 

I squirmed and pushed against him to try and get him off of me but he was simply too strong, he held me against the wall firmly.

He hit me again, and then again.

My lip was busted and I tasted blood. 

With a final hard slap across the face Derek let me go and I slumped against the wall. My left eye felt bruised and would probably be swollen later, same with my bottom lip and right cheek.

He glared at me before walking off and slamming the stairwell door behind him. 

Katie simply stood there with a shocked expression on her face but she soon recovered and slowly walked over to me.

I cowered in fear, she was going to hurt me, I just knew it and I knew I deserved it too. 

I flinched as she reached towards my face, she brushed a few stray strands of my onyx colored hair out of my face and looked at me with a mixed expression of guilt and pity.

“A bit ironic that you can’t heal yourself with your magic.. I guess that’s the only draw back to being a healer right?” She said in a gentle tone.

“I..I didn’t know he was going to do that.. I’m sorry.” She said softly.

“D..don’t apologize Katie.. I deserved it.” I said in a small voice.

“Maybe but it still hurts me to see my childhood best friend in so much pain.. despite how you treated me and him last year.. I’ve forgiven you.” She said as she dug through her bag.

she pulled out a pair of small black panties, a black skirt, black leggings, a pair of size 4 white sneakers , a black lacy bra that said 32 C on the tag and a small black hoodie with white skeleton hands printed on the front.

“Derek knew What size you’d be when the curse finished its work.. so I got you an outfit without telling him, he wanted you to have to leave school wearing what you wore today but I didn’t want you to suffer so much.” She said as she handed me the clothes in a neat little pile.

I hesitantly took them and as much as I dreaded it I knew I couldn’t simply walk around in public wearing only an oversized hoodie. 

Katie turned around while I got changed, she had to help me with putting on the bra which humiliated me even further than I already was.

Once I was dressed I stood awkwardly in front of her, I was probably around five foot two now because Katie towered over me.

I felt tears prick the edges of my eyes as I looked up at Katie.

“I’m.. Katie listen I’m so sorry.. I know this probably means nothing to you but I’m sorry for how I treated you and Derek.” I said meekly.

“I know. Cmon let’s go to the nurse.” She said softly.

She took hold of my hand and we headed up the stairwell, we reached the second floor and entered through the heavy metal door. 

Katie led me down several hallways until we reached the nurses office, she knocked and opened the door. 

The nurse Mrs Wellweather looked shocked when she saw my face.

“Katie what happened to her? Emily who did this to you?!” She said as she quickly started gathering bandages and rubbing alcohol from the little cabinets in her office. I cringed when she called me her and I cringed even more when she referred to me as Emily, apparently the curse made everyone but the three of us think this was who I’d always been, or at least I assumed so.

“Der…” I started to say but Katie quickly cut me off.

“There was a stranger in the stairwell, Mrs Wellweather, he tried to rape her, thankfully I came along just in time and he ran off.” She said as she gave me a look that screamed don’t snitch or else.

I nodded meekly as the nurse looked at me.

“I’ll have to alert the principal then, unfortunately there’s no cameras in the stairwell but maybe we can find some footage to show the police from the outside security Cameras.” 

“I hope so.” Katie said as Mrs Wellweather started to clean my wounds, she stuck a small butterfly bandage on my cut lip and handed me an ice pack to hold on my eye.

“There we go, Emily you can go home for the day, I’ll write a note to your teachers.” 

I nodded and started to leave, Katie followed and as I walked I cringed at how foreign this body felt. Students were exiting the classrooms and I knew I was being stared at, I hated it.

As I exited the building, Katie continued to follow me to the parking lot, I reached my black vintage mustang and opened the door, as I got inside I realized my feet didn’t reach the pedals, I adjusted the seat until I was comfortable enough and could properly drive at my new height. Katie was still standing there beside my opened driver side door. 

She looked incredibly guilty as she stared at me.

“Don’t you have to go back to final classes?” I asked her.

“Yeah.. I’m just making sure you’re okay.” She said softly.

“I’ll be fine.” I lied. 

She simply nodded as I closed my door and started the engine, She stood there staring as I drove off towards home.

~~~~~~~~~

I pulled into the driveway and shut off the engine. I got out and walked up to the door, opening it and hoping I could just curl up in my bed and die.

I was shocked to see my mom and some strange man I’d never seen before talking in the kitchen casually, as they turned and saw me I could see they were both startled.

“What the hell are you doing in my house?” My mother said.

“Mom.. what are you talking about?” I said in a shaky voice.

“Mom? I don’t have any children young lady, do I need to call your parents or perhaps the police, I’m sure they wouldn’t appreciate bailing out their daughter for breaking and entering.”

I tried not to cry after hearing her words, I looked around and realized the former pictures of mom and me were all gone, replaced by her and the man standing next to her. With a gulp I started to back away.

“I’m so sorry.. I must have the wrong house.. my mothers house looks just like this one..” I said holding back a sob.

“Understandable, I suggest you don’t make the same mistake again, others wouldn’t be so kind to this little confusion.” My mother said, she walked over to the front door and held it open for me.

“Goodbye miss. Sorry for the trouble.” I said as I ran out, tears streaming down my face.

~~~~~~~~

I drove around for several hours, I’d cried so much that I couldn’t cry anymore, all that came out were dry sobs. It was around seven pm when I decided to pull into the schools parking lot, the sun was setting as I got out and opened the trunk of my Mustang, I fetched a worn blanket that I’d only used a few times and closed the trunk, throwing the blanket in the now spacious for my new size back seats of the car.

 I curled up and locked the doors of my car. I looked at my phone screen and browsed through my contacts.. surely there was someone I could spend the night with.. sadly there wasn’t.. I’d abused and abandoned my only friends and the piece of shit I’d replaced them with was gone. 

I tossed my phone in the front seat and curled up, eventually I fell asleep. My car wasn’t too uncomfortable but it wasn’t ideal, I’d much rather be in my bed, in my old body. I hated how small I was, I hated my curvy figure, hated my pretty face, hated my voice that made me cringe every time I spoke. Derek’s curse was so cruel and vile.. I knew I deserved it but I wanted to sob at the fact that he’d made my mother forget me. 

The kind of curse he’d used was forbidden on the most extreme levels, but there was nothing I could do, he’d made sure of that. 

~~~~~~~~~

The following week was awful to say the least, I’d wake up in my car, clean myself with my eyes closed in the gym’s showers, wear the same outfit Katie had given me the day I’d changed, I wouldn’t speak in class or at all for that matter unless it was absolutely necessary, I’d just lay my head down at my desk and hope no one would interact with me. 

When school ended I would drive around until sunset then head back to the school parking lot and go to sleep in the backseat of my mustang. 

After three weeks this became common routine.

Friday of the third week is when things got worse. 

I walked to my car when the last class ended, as I opened the door I heard shouting behind me.

When I turned around I saw Derek storming towards me, my face paled and I quickly tried to get inside the car and lock the doors but Derek was faster and slammed my car door before I could get inside, he pushed me hard against the side of my car and I looked up at him, terrified he was going to hit me again.

“Derek stop this!” I heard Katie yell as she caught up to him.

He pushed me harder against the car and I let out a small whimper.

“Derek please you’re hurting me!” I said in a panicked voice.

“That’s the point dumbass, why the fuck did you tell Katie that I erased your mother’s memory of you!?” He said with a snarl.

“I..I didn’t I swear! I haven’t told anyone..” I said.

“Bullshit I know you’re a scummy little liar, what happened to all that confidence huh? The old you wouldn’t have stood for this.” 

“Derek please.. I’m not lying..” I whimpered. 

He smirked before slapping me across the face as hard as he could, I let out a shrill scream.

“Derek stop! He didn’t tell me! I figured it out myself. You didn’t tell me you’d do something so horrible, I would have never let this happen had I known! hasn’t he been through enough?” Katie said as she roughly pushed him, causing him to let go of me and step back.

Katie stood between me and him, she glared at him and he glared back.

“Katie why are you defending this little weasel, what the hell is wrong with you?” He said with a growl.

“Unlike you I don’t hold petty grudges! He’s learned his lesson, I mean look at him! You fucking broke him!” Katie screamed at Derek.

Derek started to grow more and more angry, his fists begin to glow and he tried swinging several curses at both Katie and I but they were easily blocked by Katie’s advanced defensive magic. 

She lifted a single finger towards the sky and a blue light sparked from her hand, a bright blue bubble of shield energy formed around the both of us.

Derek continued to throw nasty looking curses at us to no avail, he started to sweat and grow weary from the amount of magic he was using. After one final attempt to hurt us he gave up, he glared at us then stormed off, getting inside his lifted Jeep and screeching out of the parking lot.

Katie released her defensive spells and the shields disappeared from around us. She turned to me and I looked up at her for a few seconds before I started crying my eyes out. 

I felt her arms wrap around me and she held me for several moments as I cried.

“I don’t deserve this..” I said quietly as I finished crying.

“No you don’t but I’m going to help you anyways.. have you really been sleeping in your car for almost a month? Why didn’t you call me?” She replied in a gentle tone.

“Because you hate me..” I said as I looked at the ground in shame.

Katie smiled.

“Lance if I hated you I wouldn’t be helping you.” She said softly as she brushed a few dark strands of hair out of my face.

“You’re an idiot who likes to follow rather than lead but you aren’t cruel or malicious, I could tell how much you didn’t want to harass us, you were just following along with that bigoted idiot Drake.”

“Doesn’t make it right..” I said quietly.

“Of course not but it’s all in the past. I want my friend back.” She said as she gently rubbed the spot where Derek had slapped me. 

“You mean it..? After all I’ve said you really want to be friends again?” 

“Of course stupid, we grew up together, we’ve had worse fights than this, remember when we were kids and we beat the crap out of each other then didn’t talk for six months?” She said with a laugh.

I nodded as I looked up at her.

“No matter what you said I know in your heart that you didn’t mean a single bit of it, what kind of healer would have a soul so dark? They wouldn’t and you definitely don’t, you were just misled by an awful person.” She continued.

“Cmon you can stay with me.. I can’t undo Derek’s curse but I’m sure we can find someone who can. It’s going to be okay.”

I felt myself start to cry again, the kindness Katie was showing me was something I felt I didn’t deserve, I hugged her tightly for several moments as I cried.

Once I let go, Katie cast a charm that had me calmer than I’d perhaps ever been, she took my keys and opened the passenger side door for me, I buckled myself in as she hopped into the drivers seat and started the car.

~~~~~~~~

We drove into my old neighborhood, where my mother still lived, where all three of us had grown up, Katie’s house was a few doors down from my old one and she pulled the car into the open garage. 

We walked inside and I greeted Katie’s Moms who of course knew me as Emily.

“Mom do you care if Emily stays with us for awhile..? her mom kicked her out after she turned 18 beginning of this month, she’s been sleeping in her car since then.” Katie smoothly lied to one of her mothers, she put on the most convincing puppy face.

Her mother looked at Katie’s other mom who nodded and smiled.

“Of course sweetheart, she can stay as long as she needs to.” 

“Thank you mom, thank you mama!” Katie said as she hugged both of them.

“Thank you both..” I said quietly.

“You two go upstairs, we’ll order in tonight. Emily sweetie how long has it been since you’ve eaten properly, poor girl you look way too thin!” Katie’s other mom referred to as Mama asked me.

“I haven’t really had enough money to feed myself..” I lied. Truthfully I’d been starving myself since my change, hoping I’d eventually die from it. Katie noticed my lie I’m sure of it, she gave me an odd look and glanced down at my body with a frown.

Katie took my hand and led me upstairs to her bedroom, once the door was closed she had me sit on the bed beside her and gave me a stern look.

“You haven’t been eating on purpose have you?” She asked.

I nodded and looked away shamefully.

“Lance.. fuck I feel so guilty…” she said, tears started to prick at the edges of her eyes as she looked at me.

I shook my head.

“Don’t.. I deserve this.” I said.

“Oh for fucks sake will you stop saying that! You’ve gone through enough! Trust me both Derek and I know how awful dysphoria is! That doesn’t mean you deserve to die, and I definitely don’t want you to kill yourself!” She started with a raised voice. 

“I’m sorry.. please don’t feel guilty.. you didn’t do this to me.” I replied quietly.

“Yes but I was part of it, the whole thing was my idea but I only wanted the curse to last for a few weeks.. Derek took things to the extreme. This is my fault.” She said as she started to sob.

I felt awful seeing my friend like this, I felt horrible for the way I’d treated her.

I gently wrapped my small arms around her and gave her a tight hug.

“Don’t cry Katie.. I’ll be okay… I promise. I know you didn’t mean for this to happen.” I whispered.

She shook her head and took a few deep breaths, she wiped the tears away from her eyes then pulled me closer to her, I rested my head on her shoulder as we held each other for several long moments.

I was shocked to say the least when Katie eventually lifted my chin up so I was looking into her eyes, she leaned down and gently kissed me, before I knew what was happening we were passionately making out with each other, she pulled me onto her lap and our night of love making begin at that moment.

In the morning when I woke up in her arms, feeling safer than I’d felt in an entire month since my change, I knew I’d not only gained back my best friend but our relationship had evolved to something so much more beautiful.

“Don’t worry Lance, I promise I’ll take care of you from now on, we’ll find a way to reverse the curse, I don’t care how long it takes.” Katie told me as she held me in her arms once she’d woken.

I smiled and looked up at her.

“As long as I have you in my life.. I’ll be okay.”
