More Polite

"I wonder what's wrong with that boy? Sometimes I just wish he was more polite, like his friend Karyn." The stone glowed, once again unnoticed by Jon's mom. ------ After they ran out to Jon's car, Jon stopped suddenly, then ran over to the passenger door. "Allow me," he said to Karyn and opened the door for his friend. "Oh. Thanks, Jon," she said. Jon walked back to the driver's side and got in. They didn't even realize that Jon had changed *again*. But soon the change would be obvious to them.
