"Did you get smaller?!"Cris shouted, surprise evient in her voice and posture, her eyes brighter and wider than usual.
The silence following afterwards was one of the most awkward and shame-filled moment of your life thus far. You pinched the bridge of your nose and inhaled deeply, releasing a great sigh seconds later."Y-yeah..."You mutter."I had a little....accident. Shrank a bit."
"Are you okay?"Lakin asked, her voice sultry and relaxation in sound form. You nodded with cheeks a tad red. All of your friends gave you a look of innocent pity, all feeling for you. Each one gave a word or two of reassurance, and you smiled slightly. Still, them noticing hurt inside. Plus Cris's outburst had the whole school abuzz with the news of your diminishing. It was old news to the school, but every time you came back a bit smaller, there were always whispers. Fingers pointing, eyes adverting. And that was just the least of it. Some of the Seniors took full advantage of your small size, pulling painful pranks and the sorts.
Luckily, most of the school day, your friends were always close at hand, acting as a wall to protect you from those who dared to venture too close. As the final bell rang at the end of the afternoon, the whole student body rushed out to leave their educational prison, all hitching rides with friends, driving themselves, or waiting to be picked up. You and your friends would wait for the bus.
In the parking lot, you all sat down, the bus coming soon. You knew they wanted to talk to you, but you stubbornly remained quiet. The condition you were in...always made you uncomfy to speak about it.
Lakin's hand gently patted your shoulder, and you jumped up, jolting from the sudden touch. You whirred around with a dismal face."It's...it's okay!!"You said."I don't want any comfort...I don't even want to talk about it!!"
"Luke..."Dianne motioned to stand up, but you turned around and started walking."I said I don't want to talk! Call me when the bus is he-"
You were cut short as the yellow metal wall known as the front of the school bus slammed right into you.
Among screams and swirling, twisting blackness of subconsciousness, you felt the odd sensation of shrinking once again."Luke...Luke!"You tried to guess the voice calling out to you, but it was distant and much too far away to recognize.
You shrink down to....
