“Shit, my head…” You say, clutching your head as you lean against a nearby locker. Some passing students glance towards you, but pay you no mind as they continue on with their business. As soon as the headache appeared, it just as quickly disappeared without a trace. You lift your hand from your head once you feel the pain subside. “What the hell…” You question, confused as to why the pain was suddenly gone. “Well, whatever, I should get to the literature club.” Once making sure that you’re alright, you make your way through the crowd towards the class where the literature club was located.
“Oh hey, it still surprises me to see you coming back.” Natsuki commented once you entered into the class.
“Nice to see you too, Natsuki.” You lightly waved.
“Are you alright, you don’t look so good.” Yuri, asked, standing up from her desk, of course not without saving her spot in her book.
“Huh, oh, yeah, I’m fine. I just got a migraine on the way here.”
“What? That’s not good!” Yuri exclaimed, surprisingly loudly. Was she really that worried about you? Even Natsuki seemed worried, though she quickly changed the look on her face once she saw you were looking, turning away with a ‘hmph’. Yuri seems to have realized what she did, and looked away shyly. “I-I’m sorry. I was just worried.”
“I-It’s alright Yuri. I already feel fine anyway.” You say in an attempt to dispel her worries.
“I-is that so?” She asks, glancing at you. While you two were talking, Natsuki seemed to have noticed something about you.
“Hey, is Yuri taller than you?” She asked, walking up to you both.
“Huh?” You both say in unison.
“Stand back to back for a second.” Natsuki almost commands.
“W-what?!” Yuri’s face gains a shade of red, seemingly flustered.
“Don’t make this weird!” Natsuki rolled her eyes. “Just do it.” Though a bit reluctant, the purple haired girl complied, turning so that he back is against yours. You wait for Natsuki’s verdict. After a moment, she grumbles.
“Hold on, let me get onto a chair.” She said, mumbling something about you and Yuri, probably about your heights dwarfing hers. Once on a desk chair, she can finally tell. “Yeah, Yuri’s taller than you.” She says, causing Yuri to once again turn red, she always did seem shy about her height.
“T-that can’t be right though…” She says. “I remember having to look up to him last week…” She says. You could confirm that she was right too, remember how you had at least 2 inches on her. But if what Natsuki was saying was right, that would either mean Yuri was taller than 6 feet now, or you had some how shrunk at least 3 inches. You turn around, looking Yuri in the eye. Natsuki was right, you found yourself having to look slightly above to meet her gaze.
“How…” Is all you can say. After a moment, Natsuki’s voice fills in.
“Like you need to be any taller, Yuri!” She pouts. I guess it would be jealous inducing if the tallest person only got taller while you stayed the shortest.
“I-it’s not I want it to be this way…” Yuri sighs. Feeling a bit bad, you go to put a hand on her shoulder, until you accidentally shock her. She yelps in surprise.
“Sorry!” You exclaim. “I didn’t mean to!”
“N-no, it’s alright.” She says, looking away. Looking forward, you see Natsuki gaping at something.
“Natsuki?”
“Did… did Yuri just get even taller?” She questioned. You raise a brow before turning towards Yuri. But what you see shocked you. Yuri somehow did get taller! Even she noticed it. Another moment of awkward silence fills the room as you three stand in shock. Eventually, Natsuki jumps off the chair and heads to the closet, rummaging around a bit.
“There it is.” She says, pulling out a measuring tape.
“N-Natsuki?” Yuri asks.
“Hey, help me measure Yuri.” Natsuki says towards you. You glance towards the girl in question, shrugging as she meets your gaze. Both of you head towards the pink haired girl. Yuri is told to stand up against the wall, which she complies. After receiving the measuring tape and taking Yuri’s height, you stand shocked.
“Well?” Natsuki asked. Even Yuri was curious to know.
“6’2”” You inform them.
“I-I grew 4 inches…?” Yuri seemingly asks the question everyone has on their mind. After even more stunned silence, Natsuki speaks up.
“Let’s check your height too.” She says. Complying, you hand the measuring tape to Yuri and stand against the wall. After a moment, she gets your height.
“5’8””
“What?! But I’ve been 6’ for two years now!” You say. Yuri gained 4 inches, and you somehow lost 4 inches. Before any of you could say anything more, Monika and Sayori walk in.
“Sorry we’re late, we… uh, what are you guys doing?” Monika asked, seeing you three in the corner of the class.
“Ooh, are we measuring each other?” Sayori innocently asks. You, Natsuki and Yuri all exchange looks, before Yuri surprisingly spoke up.
“Well… not exactly.” She said, slightly confusing the two girls before you three began to explain the situation.
