The Interloper

Surprisingly, the group was still where Riley left them. It was on a hill overlooking the South side of campus, right at the entrance of the woods. There, Devin, Michael, Mallory, and Jennifer were sitting on the hill, passing back and forth a big bottle. This Riley could see outlined in the dark. The group was giggling and chatting up a storm. Riley felt a pang of exclusion once more, remembering the painfully awkward tag-along from earlier.

Then she remembered. The potion, it changed her. Riley gently cupped her massive breasts, running her hands down the slopes and onto her curvy sides. Things would be different this time.

"Oh hi, guys," Riley said.

Her own voice startled her. It was huskier than before.

All four of them looked up.

"Hi, who is that?" Micheal, the de facto leader, called out.

"Why it's me, your good friend Riley," Riley said in sing-song.

Michael's eyes widened as he got a better look. The whole group seemed to let out a collective gasp.

"D-did you change, Riley?" Jennifer asked.

She was a pretty brunette with long, curly hair and a mousy face framed with stylish glasses.

"A whole bunch," Riley said as she sauntered over to sit with the group, letting the boys catch every bit of her curves.

"Mind if I drink with you guys?" She added. "I brought my own stuff."

Riley held up the water bottle of black liquid. It caught each pair of eyes for a moment, each person transfixed ephemerally by the allure of the potion.

Mallory, a cute blonde with a pixie cut and button nose, looked at the fluid in disgust.

"What is that?"

"Raspberry rum," Riley lied.

The girls looked at each other. They were both clearly uncomfortable with Riley's presence and the gorgeous redhead could sense their growing dislike and, further down, fear. Where the old Riley would have cowered away from this as if burned by a hot flame, the new Riley welcomed it.

Michael spoke up.

"Feel free to join. We've got vodka, cheap plastic bottle stuff, and a bottle of sprite to wash it down."

Riley smiled and plopped down right next to Michael, making sure to get uncomfortably close. At this range, Riley knew Michael would be able to smell the potion's scent wafting off of her.

"I appreciate it guys," Riley said. "Anyone want to try the rum?"

"I will," Devin piped up. He was a pudgy, awkward guy, but with a handsome face.

"Have a sip," Riley said with a big smile, handing the boy the bottle.

Devin took a small, exploratory sip and then followed it up with a big gulp after a short delay. Riley snatched the bottle out of his hands after that. No need wasting precious potion.

Riley could already tell that the potion was working on Devin. His whole body had gone rigid and in the gloom, Riley thought she could see the boy's face turning a bright red.

"Anyone else want a drink?"

Both the girls shook their heads, but Michael reached for the bottle. He took one swig and gave Riley a big thumbs up.

"Amazing," he said. "Is there even booze in there?"

Before Riley could answer, Devin loudly blurted, "I need to use the bathroom."

Next thing they knew, the heavy set boy was darting full-speed into the pitch-black woods.

They sat in awkward silence for a few moments afterwards. Riley eyed Michael closely, tracking the changes that came over him. He too went red in the face. After about a minute, Riley noticed a distinct bulge in the young man's pants. She felt giddy.

"Does anyone want to check on Dev?" Jenny asked, nervous.

Michael stood up abruptly, angling himself to hide his boner.

"I'll go," he said.

"I'll come too", Jenny said.

Immediately, Mallory shot Jenny a dirty look. Jenny just shrugged.

"We'll be right back, guys," Michael said. Riley noticed he was panting a little.

The pair walked off into the woods, leaving Riley and Mallory in the early-autumn silence.
