I figured Jake was going to find out anyways after what happened, or he'd have enough information to work it out. BEsides I think he was worried about me, so I figured it couldn't hurt. So I sat down opposite to him and opened my lunchbag giving him a 'hi'. Almost immediatly he folded his arms on the table and said "What wrong?"
"Now?"
"Yes, we can eat and talk at the same time."
So I told him what had happened when I got up and what had happened in the hall, his mouth was hanging open by the end of my story and I kept eating while he thought of something to say. I knew I'd have to talk to mom about this too when I got home, but for now I was contented to let Jake know.
"That is so cool!" Jake said with barely controlled awe and excitement. "Can you show me super strength?" he asked.
I couldn't really see an issue with that and I agreed to show him after school the rest of which passed without event. So when we got out we walked to Jake's house which was close by, with his mom who came to walk us there. Jake's brother has all this weightlifting stuff and he's really big so he was saying I should see how much I can lift. So when we got there we were instantly down into the basement where the weights were all sitting, currently not in use.
He said the bar was itself about seventy pounds and I laid down under it and found it extremely easy to lift. He put on first ten, then twenty with each being scarcely heavier than the last for me and lifting them proved to be boring. I had to help him put the weights on eventually as they got too heavy for him to move, but I found them easy to lift. Eventually the barbell had all the weights on it and I still lifted it, and the entire bench, with relative ease. Jake was just standing there with his mouth open at the last feat of strength and once again was barely containing his excitement. "That is so cool! You know what else? I think your muscles are a little bigger, look at yourself."
I looked at my arm and flexed and saw a little bit of bicep and lifted up my shirt to see I was flexing faintly visible abs, which was insane cause that morning I bad a bit of a tummy. "I wonder why this is all happening all of a sudden," I mused to Jake.
"Dunno, think your mom would know something?"
"Maybe I should go talk to her. It's cool being really strong though."
