Josh just smiled as he sat on his bed with his back leaning against the stack of pillows. As he closed his eyes, a flood of prayers came in. He heard each one of them in his mind, as they originated from all over the world.
Finally, he heard the three that he wanted to focus on. It came from a high school student who was frequently bullied in school. The student hung out with his friend, who was also a nerd. So, Josh snapped his fingers and teleported to the school in England, appearing at the school. He was completely invisible so nobody could see him.
Paul was walking down the hallway with Simon, his best friend. Paul was the 15-year-old who had said the prayer just as he walked into the schoolyard. He was often bullied for being so skinny, short and smart. Simon was the same way, but he was a little taller. Simon had just started lifting weights in the gym, but he wasn’t muscular at all.
“Mate, I wish we knew someone who could protect us from the bigger dudes!” Paul grumbled. “I have too much homework to waste my time in a gym!”
“Uhh right… I just started lifting weights, mate…” Simon sighed. “It will take me at least three years before I see any significant gains!”
“Maybe we should just pay the big guys to leave us alone?” Paul grumbled. “I don’t know where I’ll get the money from!”
Simon was about to respond when they walked past the bathroom.
“Uhh…. I need to use the toilet, mate…. Give me a minute!” Simon said as he walked into the boy’s bathroom. He had no idea that Josh had caused his bladder to fill up quickly.
Once inside, the tall but skinny boy used the stall real quick before he came out to the sink to wash his hands.
While he stood there, ready to dry his hands under the hand dryer, he was overcome by a powerful, tingling sensation which coursed all through his slender body. Then, without warning, his every muscle on his muscle started to inflate, all at the same time! Within seconds, Simon morphed from a tall, skinny kid to a very athletic young man as his arms bulged, his chest inflated, and his torso widened. His quads widened considerably, and his calves bulged into soccer balls. Luckily, thanks to Josh’s powers, his clothing and his shoes grew along with him as his muscles expanded rapidly.
When it was all over, Simon remained standing there, glancing at his reflection in the mirror. His jaw dropped open when he realized how he had changed. Gone was the tall, skinny guy. In his place was now a big, athletic, teenage bodybuilder with thick pecs and vein-covered biceps, quads and calves!
“What the hell happened?” Simon gasped as he posed and turned sideways, flexing his arms. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. It was as if he had been working out in the gym for years!
Just then, the door to the bathroom opened. It was Paul.
“Yo, Simon! Are you coming, mate?”
“Yeah! I’m here!”
Simon joined Paul and the two boys walked back to class. Nobody had said anything about Simon’s weird growth spurt. It was as if he had always been that way. And, Josh just looked on from a distance, smiling quietly, before he teleported back to his bedroom.
