This choice: First Day at School as a Giant • Go Back...Chapter #5First Day at School as a Giant by: scriptboy I went to school for the first time in the parallel world with Erica and Natasha driving behind the wheel. It was always a challenge fitting in the front seat of the car, with my long legs, but I managed to squeeze into the car seat, although barely.
Once we arrived at the school, Natasha walked with me to the main office, where she talked to the Vice-Principal and the nurse about enrolling me into classes. When the question of my size and my health came up, she explained that I was her nephew and that my father was a large man as well. Not only that, but I had been diagnosed with Pituitary Gigantis, which meant that I had a pituitary gland which was much larger than that of a normal human being, and this lead to my amazing growth spurts. In fact, when I weighed this morning, Max noted that I had gained another eight pounds! Even though I hadn’t gained anything in height, I was probably gaining in muscle.
This was confirmed when I took my shower this morning, and I noted my reflection in the large bathroom mirror. I was still growing, since my arms seemed bulkier, my chest appeared larger and my legs were thicker, not with fat but with muscle! I was still hulking out, and nobody knew when it would stop.
When Natasha had finally finished getting all my enrollment and registration paperwork done, Mr. Marnix, the Vice-Principal, walked me over to my first class. Obviously, I was over twenty minutes late, so the class was interrupted when I walked into the classroom for my first period class, which was Math.
The teacher stopped the lecture and I was faced with a classroom filled with about twenty curious students who were all gasping at the sight of me when I slowly walked into the room. I could hear a flood of comments coming from the students.
“Whoa!”
“Look at the SIZE of him!”
“Oh… My… God…”
“He’s no kid… He’s a grownup!”
“He’s a giant!”
“I didn’t know human beings could grow that big!”
“I bet he plays basketball!”
“What a hunk!”
“He’s cute!”
“Look at his legs!”
“Look at his arms!”
“Look at his chest!”
“Look at his ---“
“SSSSSHHH!!” another girl hissed. “You’re embarrassing him!”
“Class!” Ms. Rogers spoke up. “I want to introduce all of you to a new student. This is Eric Summers. Eric, please sit down. There’s an empty desk in the back of the classroom!”
I quietly walked to the back of the class, knowing that every student in the room was staring at me.
“Don’t break the desk… or the chair, big guy!” one boy shouted.
The whole room erupted in laughter as I sat down, as carefully as I possibly could.
“Now, now, class! Be nice! And, Brandon, please… Watch those sharp remarks and keep them to yourself!” Mr. Rogers said to the boy.
I felt excited and nervous at the same time. I knew I had to get used to being back in school again, even though the school looked oddly familiar. It was almost the same as my school back in my own world, even though some of the kids were different. Of course, the major difference was the fact that I was about three feet taller than in my own world. Now I had to put up with all the jokes of why I stood out among the crowd, which was the exact opposite of all the crap I had to deal with before I got pulled into the machine which brought me to this parallel world. At first, I was always the little guy, and now I’m the giant. I guess I’m destined to always be the outcast, no matter which world I’m living in.
The main thing that was concerning me at that moment was the fact that I was still gaining weight. I guess that gaining more muscle couldn’t be all that bad. I used to be picked on when I was in my old world, and here I was, the giant in school, and still growing bigger and more muscular. So, hopefully things would be the other way around this time: I’m the big muscle guy now. I was hoping that I would not be bullied this time around.
“Psssst Hey! My name is Jesse!” one boy, sitting next to me, whispered to me.
“Hi… I’m Eric…”
I looked at the boy. He reminded me of one of my friends in my old world. One of my best friends was also named Jesse. He looked just like him. I remembered him as a small, skinny, geeky kid who loved computers and video games. In fact, I remembered this kid being my next-door neighbor!
“You wanna hang out after school?” Jesse asked me.
“Sure… We can play video games or something…” I said to him.
“You got it, dude!”
What a relief! It felt good seeing someone familiar. I began to remember who Jesse was. He always wanted to hang out with me and we were always good friends in school. It felt refreshing seeing that he was also here in the parallel world.
At least now I had someone else to hang out with and to talk to when I was in school. Even though this time around I was the giant, rather than the shrimp in class. What would happen next?
