They head back to the party and finish out the night

After a few moments they realized that as the master of the ring, and the ability to control literally anything, they should do a basic exchange of information (phone numbers, school schedules, plans for the upcoming week) so they could come up with more plans for breaking this binding and freeing her from any sort of control. They also worked out some plans to get Sean to be a closer knit part of her clique. Sean jumped at the opportunity and was eager to be more popular, but Jessica had an ulterior motive. The closer he was, the more she could keep an eye on him.

When it was time, Jessica opened her door slowly and checked the hallway. To her right was her dad and step-mom's bedroom which was closed and locked pretty securely, and to the left was the stairs back down to the party. Directly across the hall from her room was her bathroom, which was currently empty. Sean snuck across the hallway and shut the door, while Jessica went back downstairs to the party.

As they had worked out earlier. Sean waited until about five minutes had passed, went downstairs and rejoined the party. Jessica then introduced him to her friends. The blonde head cheerleader's introduction, plus the clout he still had from helping the team win last week helped Sean be able to use his own personality to win them over the rest of the way. Yes he still needed to work on his jokes, and yes he was still awkward when talking to other girls... but he felt better than ever when he finally said good bye to everyone and headed home.

Later that evening after sending everyone home and making sure any messes had been cleaned up, Jessica laid down in bed, and finally had a chance to try and relieve the 'itch' the wishes had bestowed upon her. She closed her eyes and tried to picture Brad 'Thundercock' Myers in her head. Thinking of the handsome quarterback caused her nipples to stiffen as she slipped her hand into her soft pajama pants. She had heard through the grapevine that he was thinking of asking her out, but Jess hadn't heard any of that tonight. Had the whole 'ring' debacle and how she disappeared for nearly two hours throw a wrench in his plans for tonight?

Shaking her head and unable to get back into her fantasy thanks to that fucking ring her mom gave her, Jessica sighed in frustration and turned off her light. Just before her eyes closed for the night, her phone made a sound to let her know she had a text. It was Sean. Jess smiled and thought about how tonight could have turned out very differently if anyone else had gotten the ring. His text read, "I just wanted to check in to see how you were doing." She smiled and blushed a bit...even her friends never reached out like this. Another text popped through, "I had a great time tonight, despite everything that happened with the ring. I just wanted you to know that I will work my ass off to get it back to you. OK?" He sent a selfie with a thumbs up and his handsome, boyish smile.

She shook her head and responded back with a thumbs up emoji and a, "Thanks. Talk to you tomorrow."

This time as she drifted off to sleep, Sean's smile filled her head, and she just chuckled.

Across town, Sean was looking through his phone and smiling on cloud nine. Someone had taken a picture of him and Jess with her girl friends all kissing his face, and he drifted off to sleep with the world's biggest grin.
