This choice: The epedmic spreads...New Queen Angie • Go Back...Chapter #6The epedmic spreads...New Queen Angie by: Unknown Lucy looked with a confused look. Her eyes staring directly into Angie's before she asked.
"Am I shrinking?" Lucy said with a tiny bit of panic. Angie knew full and well what was happening, she remained calm and just nodded. "Oh my god, I don't want to be short like Vanessa... quick what can I do?"
Angie bit her lip. She looked around the school. Almost everyone in sight was either shrunk, shrinking or making fun of a friend or enemy for being short. It wouldn't be to much longer before most if not everyone in the entire school would be quarter sized humans. She could feel a giggle of excitement bubbling up inside her, but she swallowed it. She watched as Lucy again got a bit smaller before her eyes, now her eyes level at Angie's chin. She tried to hide the giggle as she looked at Lucy.
"Well ... um... " Angie noticed that a lot of commotion was going on at the doors up the hallway near the schools entrance. "What is going on over there?" Angie pointed to the growing crowd of slowly shrinking people. Lucy shrugged, loosing part of her shirt as she again got a bit smaller. Angie and Lucy started to walk up to the crowd of people. As they approached they heard screams and shouts between two men. Once closer Angie had a pretty good view of the situation.
"I Demand you let my daughter Vanessa out of this school immediately or I will withdraw funding from this school!" A man in a nice suit demanded. Angie assumed it was Mr. Barnes, since she could see a girl with Vanessa's face standing behind the seemingly giant man.
"I am sorry Mr. Barnes," The principle replied, " under state and federal law I cannot let anyone, including you! Until the CDC gets her and makes sure that this cannot spread to any more people you have to stay."
"Fine... how much?" Mr Barnes said pulling out a check book.
"Pardon?" the principle replied.
"How much do you want to let her out?"
"I DON'T THINK YOU UNDERSTAND THIS IS SERIOUS! THIS COULD BE CONTAGIOUS WE COULD ALL END UP LIKE THIS!"
"DO YOU THINK I CARE ABOUT THESE SHORT LITTLE FUCKERS... I DONT!"
The principle turned way from the man and locked the doors shut.
"It doesn't matter. You have to stay here till the CDC gets here." With that he turned and walked away.
Mr. Barnes was red angry, as he fixed his tie absent mindlessly as he neck size shrank ever so slightly.
The crowd whispered as a small set of panic began to wash over the crowd. Most of them had not thought that this could have been a virus or disease that was causing the illness. Angie was grinning to herself, the situation was making her laugh. She turned to Lucy who had a look or horror on her face. Her head was now level with Angie's chest. Angie looked at her face, it was cute with its reduced per portions, the fear on her face though snapped Angie back to what was going on.
"Don't worry Lucy, I am sure it is nothing to worry about..." Angie said with quite a lot of confidence.
"Easy for you to say Angie, you are one of the only tall students left in the entire school, look around!"
Angie took a moment to look around, there wasn't a single other student in sight that was taller than her any more, in fact a few of the teachers where now shorter than her. She was about to poke a joke when she remembered the curse. She had to stop it, or something before she ended up a shorty too.
"Lucy I have to use the rest room." Angie said "Don't get lost in the crowd!" she said running towards the bathroom. Upon arriving she entered to find 6 girls, all ranging between 15 and 24 inches tall, sitting on a pile of clothing. Their all immediately bombarded Angie when she entered.
"How are you so tall still!"
"Get out of here, can't you see this is an emergency!"
"Leave us alone we where here first."
The girls called out other comments and such before Angie had enough. All her life she was the short one, and for once she wasn't!
"NO YOU GET OUT!" Angie said taking three girls in one swoop and pushing them out the bathroom door. She turned and stamped her feet near the others as they ran out the door. She took their clothing and threw it out on top of them and close the door behind her. She leaned on the door so nobody else could come in and pulled the Dictaphone out form her pocket. She breathed deeply, and started to record...
"The Curse on the school turns out to be a chemical leak that I am immune to, Only people that came to school today are affected." She stopped the recording and listened as the pop happened, she peered out the window to see everyone in sight was just a quarter sized human. She closed the door and recorded again.
"The CDC is already here and is about to discover that there is no longer a threat, and that at this moment in time there is no cure for the sudden shrink-age. School is to resume for the rest of the day too."
The flash and hisses followed. Angie walked out of the bathroom with a big grin, she saw one or two students that where normal height, out of 50 or 60 ones that where not. She scanned them all and found Lucy in the crowd.
"Hey Lucy!"
"Can you believe this Angie! Turns on the school had a strange gas leak, and we could be stuck like this forever!"
"Yeah I heard, that sucks, but I am sure some time soon they could find a cure!"
"Yeah... I hope... and I hope I get it before Vanessa... I want to tower over her like you."
"Yeah... " Angie said with an evil grin.  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
