School

    by: Maxsmith102117 Author IconMail Icon
John stepped outside, the cool morning air hitting his face and waking him up more. He pulled his hoodie tighter around himself, trying to ignore the lingering fullness in his stomach. The walk to school was uneventful, his thoughts wandering from the strange woman yesterday to the sudden hunger attack this morning. He couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off but brushed it aside as he reached the school gates.

Classes passed in a blur. John tried to focus on his lessons, but his mind kept drifting back to the weird incidents. At lunch, he found himself oddly craving more food than usual, loading his tray with more than he typically would.

The rest of the day dragged, and by the time the final bell rang, he was more than ready to head home. As he walked, he noticed a familiar figure a few steps ahead, Hailey Mahoney, his spoiled neighbor. She was struggling to carry a bunch of shopping bags, clearly having overestimated her ability to manage them all.

“Hey, need a hand?” John called out, jogging to catch up.

Hailey looked over, her face lighting up with recognition. “Oh, John! Yes, please. These bags are killing me. I wish I wasn’t so short; maybe then I could carry all this without a problem.”

John winced internally as the words registered. Another wave of dizziness hit him, and he stumbled slightly, catching himself on one of Hailey’s bags. He could feel his body shifting, shrinking. His perspective changed as he lost several inches in height, now looking up slightly at Hailey instead of down.

Hailey didn’t seem to notice his change, too focused on getting home. “Thanks for the help,” she said, smiling as they continued walking together.

John’s mind raced. This was the second time today he’d experienced something bizarre. First the hunger, now this.

You have the following choices:

*Noteb*
1. John realizes what's happening

2. He's still oblivious

*Noteb*
3. Something else?

*Noteb* indicates the next chapter needs to be written.
