While Drew and Jared were looking at the other, bigger kids who were playing soccer, Drew was able to “hear” Jared’s thoughts.
“Some of these older, bigger guys have so much size and muscle! There’s just no way I could ever compete with them!” Jared thought to himself, as he looked at some of these players.
Indeed, some of the young men were much taller, much bigger, and they had a lot more muscle on them than Jared did. They seemed very fit and athletic, and their legs were insanely muscular.
Thanks to his weird powers, Drew was able to feel and hear any and all of Jared’s thoughts and feelings.
“Hey! Jared!” Drew said to him.
“What?” Jared just sighed.
“Why are you so sad? What’s the matter? You can play like these guys!” Drew said out loud. “In fact, you are bigger, better and stronger than these guys! ALL of them! Quit being so hard on yourself!”
“Dude, I am nowhere near in the same shape as those guys! Look at all the muscles they have on their legs alone! I’m skinny as a twig! I can’t play like them!” Jared groaned. “I would need to work out in the gym for the next year before I get up to their level!”
“Jared, Jared, Jared… What are you talking about?” Drew just grinned widely. “You’re a bodybuilder! You got the best physique of any of these guys around! They’ll come and ask you to play on their team for sure!”
“What are you talking about? I’m no bodyb--…” Jared mumbled, before he was overcome by that odd, pins-and-needles sensation again. This time, that strange tingling struck in every muscle in his body!
Drew could only look on with a super wide grin on his face as he witnessed his best friend’s physique change before his very own eyes, all thanks to his powers. Jared’s muscles quickly inflated all over his body, from his arms to his torso and down to his legs.
Within just a few seconds, the taller but skinny teenage boy found his muscles growing and bulging all over him. His arms were thick and strong, with big triceps and biceps filling out the sleeves of his jersey. His chest pushed outwards and sideways but several inches, giving him that wide V-taper. With big, broad shoulders and mighty traps and delts, his torso was suddenly covered by big, round pectorals and a wall of cobblestone abdominal muscles.
Finally, his quads bulged into big, wide, deep and thick pillars of muscle which were wider than oak trees. His quads became so wide, then he almost ripped out of his soccer shorts. Mighty calf muscles ballooned from the back of his legs, contributing to the additional power he needed to run up and down the pitch as he chased after the soccer ball. His big, jacked-up legs had enough power in them to enable him to kick the ball across the entire field.
His soccer skills got elevated as well. Jared suddenly gained the skills to pass, dribble and shoot the ball like a pro player who had been playing for years. He could use his chest, his head, his knees and his feet to make the ball go anywhere he wanted. He also had the ability to leap high into the air and kick the ball with his cleat as he was in the upside-down position, so he could execute the famous bicycle kick, a soccer trick reserved for only the best players.
“Whoa! What… What happened to me?” Jared noticed, as he looked down at his massive legs, bulging pecs and strong arms. “I’ve changed! I’ve grown! You did it! You made me grow!”
Jared didn’t have time to look over his enhanced physique, for the captain of one of the teams ran up to him.
“Hey, you’re Jared, right?” Tino spoke to him. “Do you want to play on our team? One of our players is sick and we’re one guy short! You look like you can help us out!”
“Uhh…. Sure!” Jared smiled, as he ran onto the pitch as Drew looked on.
“Go and have fun, big guy!” Drew shouted as Jared ran up to where the other players were huddling together.
Drew stayed on the sidelines, and he couldn’t be prouder, especially when he saw Jared score one of the winning goals a few minutes later. He stayed there and watched the whole game.
Once the game was over and Jared ran back to where Drew was standing, Drew…
