The Amulet
I loved the jealous looks on the other boys’ faces as I pulled off my shirt, and flaunted my fit muscular physique at them. None of them could comprehend how a shy and nerdy kid who they used to bully mercilessly, had become a tough and athletic jock over the course of the summer. Now, I had caused further upset, by trying out for the team and being made captain almost immediately. Of course, it was all thanks to the magical amulet that I wore around my neck, but I wasn’t about to let them know that.
