"So, I don't know about you Karyn but I'm going back to my lesson. It seemed sorta interesting you know... Wars of the Roses and stuff... It rarely gets more exciting than that!" Jon said with a half-smile. "You can go and sort yourself out. Deal with your little friend in your pants and maybe find out whose body you have 'borrowed'."
Jon didn't quite understand the reason for her good mood. Even though her new predicament made her feel strange and slightly uncomfortable she still was cracking jokes. Perhaps she thought, it's the Maddie's personality leftovers? Getting Maddie's body meant also getting her brain. Jon wasn't sure how far using someone else's brain would change the way she'd behave. It sure isn't helping with the way I walk feeling out of place. Jon thought as she turned away from Karyn.
She didn't even manage to place her second step when she felt a male hand gripping firmly her petite shoulder.
"Wait a second miss!" Karyn might had ended up in a short and scrawny looking boy's body but even with his pathetic physique he still towered over Jon's new tiny 5-foot-tall frame. Karyn pulled Jon back towards him and grabbed the stone back from her. "I might be the one to cause all that mess but that also means I'm the one responsible for making everything work how it should!"
With his arms crossed, Karyn tried to look intimidating. It only resulted in a smirk form Jon.
"Ok, fine, whatever..." she said. "If you want to be Mr Important then so be it. Just try not to wish up anything stupid again. As soon as I'm back in my own body I get the stone back, are we clear?"
It's just one week. Nothing can go wrong. Somewhere back in Jon's mind something was telling her she might be making a mistake. It didn't seem all that important now though.
"Crystal clear!" Karyn perked up. "Talking of our old bodies, I figured that once we are back we might alter everyone's memories so that they think nothing strange happened at all."
"That doesn't sound bad at all." Jon admitted. "See you after school by the gate then?"
"Let it be" answered Karyn to Jon already running back to her classroom.
As he walked back to her classroom Jon thought about her current position. Maybe Karyn was right? she thought. Maybe it would be good to see how life looked from the other side, to experience a week as a member of the weaker sex? On the other hand... she adjusted her bra strap. Some things already started getting annoying for her. Jon didn't have big breasts (which didn't mean he wasn't distracted by their jiggle) but even the way her bra constrained her whole chest wasn't particularly comfortable. In fact Jon was beginning to look forward the time she gets back home and would be able to take the constraint off.
"Ah, finally!" the teacher said as Jon entered the classroom. "I was beginning to think you fell into a gap between floor tiles and couldn't reach high enough to get out..."
"Very funny..." Jon whispered so that only she could hear. On the other hand with my height... she thought as she sat down her chair I shouldn't be surprised for jokes being made.
She pulled herself up the chair to sit comfortably. Her feet touched the ground only with tips of her toes...
The rest of the lesson was uneventful and Jon even regretted he decided to come back for it. She spent most of it wondering how the hell was she going to find Maddie's house until she found her address on her bag written there in case it was lost.
The five minutes before the end of the lesson were one of the longest minutes of her life (as the last minutes of classes then to be) and she greeted the sound of school bell with a smile. She jumped off the chair grimacing as she felt already forgotten contains of her bra wobbling slightly. Not waiting for the teacher to finish, she rushed out of the door before anyone else. Only when she entered the corridor full of people it hit her how short she was.
Sure, Karyn in that boy's body was taller than him. The difference in their heights, however, wasn't that great and Jon had already seen some people taller than his usual body's 5'11''. Now she felt surrounded by 7 foot giants. The thing was nobody in that school was actually 7 foot tall (or at least Jon hoped she didn't have to face someone that tall). Jon felt surprised how suddenly she started feeling powerless and vulnerable as she had to push through this mass of people, virtually every single one of them taller and bigger than her. She definitely wasn't used to the feeling and most certainly didn't enjoy it. Just as she was to get out of the building she passed a loud group of boys wearing football jerseys. She realized that even if she stood tip-toes she wouldn't reach their chins...
Getting out was a relief. The outside air seemed even fresher after having to swim in between teenage sweaty bodies. Jon sat on one of the stairs and waited.
Not even five minutes passed when she heard a deep voice behind her.
"Guess what?" it said. "I found a signed photo in my bag - you are my step-sister!"
"What?? Who??" Jon asked turning back to see who was talking to her. She wasn't expecting to see the boy Karyn had become - the voice was much too deep. And yet after looking high up he was greeted by the same face. Almost the same face. The face somehow more angular and gained some stubble.
"K-k-ka-Karyn?.." Jon stuttered.
"Yup, it's me!" he replied smiling. "I thought that if I'm supposed to live as a boy for a week I might as well try to do better than a scrawny shortie."
Jon stood up and realized that Karyn's face wasn't the only thing that had changed. He was at least as tall as the football guys now and quite broad in the shoulders. Quite muscular as well. Jon realized that each of Karyn's biceps was as thick as Jon's thigh.
"But Karyn! Seriously?" Jon didn't even try to hide his shock.
"Heh..." he smiled again. "I don't have to answer to you, little girl!" he winked, placed his hands on both sides of Jon's waist, lifted her up and turned her around before placing her down. "Now let's go to my place to figure what to do with the rest of the week..." Jon heard Karyn's new voice boom behind him as he received a gentle push forward...
