Technological Transformations

Chapter 4- Testing!

As it turned out, the "rules of the watch" were very specific. Via the Multi-Stream, I was able to alter the appearance of anyone, as long as they had a smart watch connected to this same network. Okay, so not THAT specific, however there were smaller details I found out over time. For example, my first discoveries came during an experiment at our lunch. All of high school had lunch at the same time, but the six of us found a table outside where we were mostly by ourselves. It wasn't long until a prime opportunity showed itself.
"These watches are pretty cool though, aren't they?" Hayden asked once the Twenty-One Pilots conversation died down.
"I'm totally looking forward to taking tests on them!" Caitlyn regraded excitedly, earning a few weird looks.
"What?" She asked, looking among our confused faces.
"Out of everything today, you're looking forward to taking tests already?" Allison asked, to which Caitlyn quickly shut down.
"Obviously not, I just meant it'll be waaaay easier than pens and paper." She clarified, which made a lot more sense.
"The different stuff in the utilities will help for sure. Not sure why they bothered to give us a schedule when it's right on here." Faith showed her watch, where our schedule was shown. At this point the others had begun messing with their watches, but I only caught snippets of conversation while I started up my Multi-Stream. Now seemed like the perfect opportunity to test how people would react to any altercations I made. I scrolled through the list of students once the program loaded, for a supernatural app it sure took awhile to start up. I stopped once I found Caitlyn Pierce, her uncanny avatar popping up next to her name. Selecting the "edit" option, I focused in on her dark brown eyes, and shifted them over to a bright blue; a very rare combo given her red hair. I looked up from my watch as the upload started, and stared at her eyes glued on her watch. Ever so slowly I saw her the darkness of her eyes lighten, as the brown faded out into a pretty blue. After closing out the Multi-Stream, now that the transformation was finished, I sat back and watched as she continued conversing with the rest of us; no one said a thing. I decided to draw attention to the change, to see what would happen.
"I just noticed; you have blue eyes, Caitlyn." I spoke up suddenly, Caitlyn's now-blue eyes meeting mine.
"Oh yeah, super rare, I know." She casually replied, winking at me unexpectedly.
"They really are striking" Hayden said, her attention now on examining her eyes.
"One might say they're... Piercing" Caitlyn's remark was met with a dead, empty silence.
"I'm not appreciated in this group." She pouted, crossing her arms while slouching in her chair. The rest of us shared a laugh at her ridiculousness, and she soon joined in.
"Have you guys heard "The Run and Go" yet?" Mia asked, and suddenly the subject was back to where it started.
I had come to two important conclusions that period: I was the only one who noticed what I did. However, though no one was surprised at the sudden change to Caitlyn's eye color, they didn't disregard it completely; they just acted like it had always been that way. In theory then, if I were to suddenly make someone extremely attractive, no one would freak out, as any sane person should, but they would still find the person very attractive. Which meant; I couldn't really get caught. Somehow, through whatever divine power that allowed these adjustments in the first place, how people perceived things would transform to cover up whatever changes I made. It seemed my powers were restricted to solely physical changes; the automatic "cover up" was the extent of any mind-altering abilities the watch possessed. I knew I had to restrict myself with this power, no matter how badly I wanted to have tons of fun with it. Although it seemed I could just change someone back, should what I did to them turn out badly, this was something I had to be cautious with.

"You guys wanna come stay the night?" Hayden asked me and Allison during PE. Our class and the senior class were together this period, and we had all been paired up to take turns spotting the other doing pushups/sit-ups.
"Tonight?" Allison asked while I continued my steady rhythm of pushups, as I was one of the few girls doing the standard method.
"Yeah! It was Caitlyn's idea; a celebratory slumber party for the first day of our eleventh year." She explained, a small smile forming on her face.
"Hell, I'm in. Chelsea?" I shook my head yes I came up, then continued on with determination.
"Sweet, I'll text the group chat the info after school. Oh, and I'll have to get Chelsea's snap of course" I hadn't even considered if things like my social media had changed along with me. Did I have an Instagram full of pictures with Chelsea over the years? The sound of Coach Hanna's whistle rung out and I pushed myself off the mat and shrugged my shoulders back.
"Your go" Allison rolled her eyes as she got into position on the mat, and I turned to Hayden.
"Yeah, I'll get it to ya after school. Bit last minute, but it shouldn't be a problem" I told her.
"One of us could maybe give you a ride, if it's a problem." Hayden suggested, the familiarly annoying whistle signifying the start of Allison's session.
"Who's all going?"
"And what's the plan for getting to school tomorrow?" I added.
"Well I know Faith and Ally here are driving themselves, the sleepover's at Caitlyn's place so she'll probably be driving herself to school. Caitlyn usually drives me anyways, so I'll probably ride with her. Not sure if Mia can even go yet. Oh, I also invited Emma, not sure if you've met her yet. Anyone who can't drive themselves should be able to ride with anyone who can, it won't be a big deal." Hayden explained, almost as out of breathe as Ally.
"I think I've seen her around, haven't gotten a chance to talk to her yet" I half-lied.
"You'll get your chance tonight, that's for sure" she replied, a small giggle escaping her lips. Before I could ask what she was up to, we were interrupted by the coach telling Hayden to get back with her partner. With a jovial wave goodbye, she walked back over to where Caitlyn was waiting; she was really rubbing off on Hayden.
The period ended shortly after, and I pulled my bag out of my locker. The class had started with us all getting our PE uniforms we ordered at the beginning of the year, thankfully I got one fitted for my new body. We also got a bag to use, and were assigned lockers in the changing room. I slipped my clothes off in the privacy of one of the stalls, and looked at myself in the full-body mirror. Was it a problem I got seriously aroused by looking at my own body? Given my unique circumstance, I don't think the same rules of judgement really applied. I lifted a small hand up to one of my bare breasts and gently squeezed it, a tingly wave of pleasure shooting through my body. Slowly, I started massaging it, basking in the pure heavenly feeling. How girls didn't constantly feel themselves, I'll never know. I removed my hand and calmed myself down before things got out of control. I pulled out my school uniform, and carefully began putting each article on.
"I was starting to get used to being a girl", I remarked to myself as I finished buttoning up my tight shirt over my breasts. Grabbing my watch out and strapping it on, I looked down at the magical device; this sleepover was going to be one to remember.
