Nah... Let's just head over to Ryan's house. You thought to yourself. Besides, maybe he has some slides that he can't wear anymore! You walked over to his house, which was about 3 blocks away. Knocking on the door, you couldn't wait to see how different he looks now. The door slowly creaked open, and when fully opened, you were simply face to face with his stomach. Everything above his neck was obscured by the doorway. He bent down and saw you down there and was overjoyed to see you. "Wow Jason! It's been so long man. How are you?"
Still speechless, you simply nodded, muttering the words, "So tall..."
"Come on in! My parents aren't in, we've got so much to catch up on!" he said as he walked to the living room. You struggled to keep pace with him due to his long strides. Sitting down on his sofa, you marveled at his size. "I see that you are shocked, why's that?" he asked.
"Are you serious? You're so tall now of course I'm shocked."
He chuckled, before responding, "Didn't I tell you before that I grew when I was away?"
"Yeah you did, but I wasn't expecting you'd grow so much. Jesus! How tall are you now? "
"Hmm... Last time I checked I was 7 feet 9."
Those numbers sank deeply. In a span of 4 years, he grew a foot and a half. It made those 2 inches you gained seem negligible now. Telling him to stand up and raise his hands, you could see that he was, extremely tall. He couldn't even fully extend his hands, both his palm were already completely touching the ceiling! Scanning his body from top to bottom, you saw his long torso. His shirt just barely covered his belly button. Similarly, his pants also barely covered his knees. Those were clearly not supposed to be shorts. Going further down, you saw his feet. If everything else was considered large, these were massive. Conveniently, both his feet were on the square tiles, his heels starting where the tiles were divided. Each were roughly a foot in length, more accurately a 11.8 inches. Yet, his one single foot occupied practically 1 half of the tiles. Looking at the line where the first tile ended, it was where the ball of his foot was at! "Dude what the fucks the size of your feet then?"
"Size 27, coupled with custom made size 27.5 shoes." "Won't be growing anymore, the doc said my growth plates have locked, he also said apart from being one of the tallest dude on earth, everything is normal and healthy." he added.
You were in disbelief. And the craziest part was that it was a natural growth. There you were thinking that those 2 inches could help you close the gap between him and you. But now, the height difference has not only stagnated, it has increased. You were slightly under his shoulder 4 years ago, now you were at his stomach. Looking at your own feet that barely reaches the floor, you see that your feet were roughly 4/5ths the length of the square tile. Measly, compared to his. Wanting to know more, you told him, "Remember how 4 years ago we did a size comparison? We've already done the height one now. I wanna see how much the difference will be for our feet." Ryan giggled, and agreed, grabbing his shoes, socks and also a pair of flip flops. You just grabbed your slides. Putting them all on the table, you could see that his footwear severely outsized yours. The socks in its unstretched length is longer than your slides, even if you minus off the opening on the socks. His flip flops were so big that you could place both feet side by side and fit in it. For his shoe, it was just massive. Before, you could squeeze both feet into his size 12s. Now, you could comfortably fit both of your feet into them with room to spare! "Now then, this is gonna be hilarious. Do you want me to compare with your slides first? Or do you want to compare with my stuff first?" Ryan said.
