"Sorry... I mean, why?" You said, worried that you came across as rude but Arianna's smile soothed you.

"Both questions have the same answer: Because you're not an ordinary Lillie, you're... well, a hybrid... a Lillie-Brob hybrid to be more accurate" She said, but the look on your face told her that you still didn't understand.
"I think you already know that you're the size of a Lillie, but you're much tougher... like a Brob, right?"

You nodded slowly in response.

"Biology sometimes is a quirky mistress, and not to bore you with an unwanted class, long story short, your Lillie sized body generates Brob pheromones. You know what those are, right?"

"Y-Yeah" You replied, somewhat embarrassedly. But more importantly, you were shocked because your parents never made any mention of this before.

"So, you'll be more attractive to Brob girls. The effect on Gullie or even Lillie girls is less consistent, sometimes generating strong rejection, sometimes they have a more powerful effect than their own species' native pheromones and sometimes it doesn't have any effect at all" Arianna continued her explanation.
"Be specially careful with your sweat, I recommend drying as soon as you can and taking a shower, or failing that, applying deodorant and some cologne for good measure. There is an experimental deodorant that suppresses those pheromones but the batch we ordered hasn't arrived. I promise I'll get you some as soon as it arrives..."

"I'm not sure if going to class is going to be a good idea" You said half-jokingly.

"Don't worry, you'll be fine!" Arianna smiled sympathetically "But if you feel like things are getting out of hand, you could put my number on quick dial and I promise I'll come running. You'll get my number in a moment when I send you your class schedule" Your phone then gave a notification ping and got your class schedule, as well as Arianna's number.

"Thank you, Ar-I mean, Principal Abalos" You said, remembering what she said earlier. She gave you a sweet look and cooed.

"Awww... but there's nobody here. You don't have to worry about those details. Though I'd really like it if you just called me Ari, like back in the day" She said, and once more the intensity of her gaze upon you made you blush and simply nodded in response.
"The first few days at school will be super easy, no homework and class activities will be focused on getting to know your classmates and promote coexistence. I'm pretty sure that you're the type that once told what's going on you'll be fine. Just be careful and trust your instinct to avoid bad situations"

You were flattered, but also felt a bid bad that Arianna thought this highly of you, when in your own mind you were just one more dumb teenager. But then again, that self awareness might be your saving grace. Who knows. But for now, you'll focus on making it through the day without stirring any trouble and following the Principal's advice.

"One last thing. You probably don't want others to know that you're my baby cousin" She said, giving you a playful smile.
"I don't mind myself, but you know that it's the kind of thing that attracts bad apples. But then again, if you feel you're in any real danger, absolutely do let them know or just call me and I'll take care of it"

Her tone had taken on a subtle but notable maternalistic note that you simply nodded as if you'd just received an order, which she found adorable and petted your head with her fingertip as a result. She then picked you up and took you out of her office, gently depositing you on the floor.

"The schedule I sent you also has a link for an app, install it and you'll have access to an interactive school map, so you'll know where to go after every class. Again, because you don't really wanna risk being carried around by a Gullie, or worse yet, a Brob" She said.
"Oh, and lastly... some things have been rushed with this exchange programs so, we don't really have much in the way of facilities for Lillies or even Gullies yet. That means you'll have to climb up Brob sized chairs to be in class"

You sighed, however that last one was the least of your worries. As the son of a Brob, you were already used to climbing giant furniture to get around the house, even though your mom was happy to carry you around whenever possible. You thanked Arianna and then installed the school app, putting in your student ID number and adding your fingerprint as a password.

With all that done, you saw the school map and it indicated where your first class would be taking place, even mentioning the name of the teacher but at this point that didn't matter much since you didn't know anyone yet. You hoped to make it through the 3 hours that preceded lunch and then meet up with your friends to finally have someone familiar in this place. The idea that you'd be living in this school still made you shudder.

'Okay, so, Orientation class under Ms. McAllen at room G-223' You thought and began to follow the path that the app showed you but without losing your awareness of the environment. This time, you saw Gulliverian girls walking around, heading towards their first class just like yourself. They were already giants to you, 100 times taller than you and who knows how much heavier, their footsteps caused slight tremors that reminded you just how small you were.
'To think that they're supposed to be the normal sized race...' You thought, remembering the old stories from books that your parents read you or told you about, how in times past, Gulliverians had been the most prolific race in the world, dominating roughly half of it in centuries past.

Snapping you out of your thoughts, there were suddenly much stronger tremors that nearly knocked you off your feet as Brob girls also made their appearance. If the Gullie girls were giants, these ones were titans, or whatever was the next level. Causing the ground to shake so powerfully with a single footstep, their sheer size made your blood run cold. The only Brobs you didn't feel this with were your mom and some relatives from her side of the family.

You blushed a little as more memories of that nice, kind chubby cousin came back. She was now a woman, and a very impressively built one at that. You hadn't decided yet how to feel about her but you wished that in some ways, she'd just be like in the old days, someone you'd feel safe with but the way she acted with you was a bit strange and you had no explanation for it.

You did your best efforts to stay out of the way and stuck near the walls as you kept walking until you reached your classroom. The immense door would've been an impressive view to many Lillies but to you, this was hardly unusual since you lived with a Brob mom and the house along with the things in it were mostly fit to her size. Thankfully, Gullie and Lillie sized doors had been built into it to allow for a much easier entry.

You stood before the Lillie sized door and took a series of deep breaths to calm yourself, a trick that your grandma on your dad's side had taught you, something cops and even soldiers used to keep thinking straight even amidst chaotic situations. Your mom and Arianna trusted you and your intelligence, and the latter gave you useful tips to let you have an easier time.

'It's okay, I got this. I just need to mind my business and avoid any giant girls' You thought, trying to psyche yourself up or something. Then, you grabbed the cold, hard metallic knob and turned it, knowing that there was no going back. Once inside, you saw that there were only relatively few students in the classroom, but most seemed to be Brobs. You saw a few Gullies climbing up the enormous chairs, having a much easier time compared to you.

You began to walk, still hugging the wall as you looked around for a seat, even though to you these things were larger than most of the buildings you had seen in the Lillie-only sections of the city. The few girls in the classroom seemed to be already in their own little groups of cliques, so you definitely wanted to avoid those parts, which ended up leading you to reach the rows at the very back of the class. Not a very good place for a Lillie, the distance to the teacher and the board might be too great but on the other hand it seemed safer.

Once again, maybe thanks to how cautious you were or to good fortune, the girls didn't seem to have noticed you. So you kept walking, sticking close to the wall and eventually reached the opposite corner from where you had started and saw that there was just one girl sitting by herself, with free desks and seats behind and in front of her, but other than that lone Brob, there was no one else in a few seats around so this seemed like the jackpot.

You resumed walking and kept close to the wall just like you had kept doing until you got past the Brob girl and reached the desk and seats in front of her. You chuckled, imagining that there was no way she'd even notice a Lillie was sitting in front of her. Taking a deep breath, this time to muster up your strength, you stood before one of the chair's colossal legs and began the arduous task of climbing it up.

The chair would've been the equivalent to the same typical chairs you had in your previous school [18 inches tall if Lilliputians were normal sized] but to you, it was nearly 1,500 feet tall! Literally the size of some of the tallest skyscrapers you've seen. Good thing your hybrid heritage also came with increased stamina, as these kinds of stunts were rather taxing to nearly all but the fittest Lillies, such as your own dad.

It took you roughly 6 minutes to reach the seat proper, a vast expanse was over twice as wide as the chair's legs were tall. Relative to your scale, almost 3,700 feet wide. It definitely looked a hell of a lot more like a building than a mere piece of furniture, and the realization that there existed people large enough to take a seat on these enormous structures hit you like a bucket of ice water. But it was alright, you finally made it and now, all you had to figure out was how to get over to the desk from here.

However, while you were deep in thoughts, you failed to notice that your surroundings suddenly got dark, as a truly gigantic backside that badly dwarfed the chair's seat itself hovered ominously above and soon began to lower itself down towards the seat and you. That huge ass belonging to...
