"You okay, Mikey?" Zendaya asked, noticing the look of alarm on her brother's face.
"Uh, sorry, but I gotta go check something," Mikey said, then turned and ran to the nearest boy's restroom. If he was still changing, he needed to see how much.
"Your brother is kind of weird," Lilly told Zendaya.
"He's not usually like this," she said, then left to go back to the high school. High School started earlier than Middle School, and the periods were a bit longer, so she had missed more class than Lilly had.
Lilly looked at Athena and the other girl. She felt like she knew them...after all they were the same age and went to the same school. "I'm having a really weird day," she said. "I ended up at the high school....I'm not sure how."
Athena looked interested in the story and waited for her to continue.
Meanwhile, Mikey looked at himself in the mirror. His hair was down to his shoulders and was much lighter than it had been before. And he was definitely taller...and older. And his clothes...his shirt didn't quite fit him anymore, it seemed tight. "But...I fixed this..." He protested to his reflection. He needed to get home before this got worse.
He hurried out of the bathroom, heading toward the door. "Mikey?" the three girls called.
