"Yeah, I'm coming," you told Emma, picking up your bag and following them out the door. You were still thinking about how Emma thought you two were the same height. You thought that maybe the dream wasn't just a dream, but some sort of prophecy, since you had wished you were taller earlier, and then you were able to see eye-to-eye with Emma. You decided to test this theory by wishing to be taller again, focusing on being able to look Kayla in the eyes like what happened with you and Emma. It was slow, but you actually noticed that Kayla's ponytail was getting lower and lower in your perspective. At the same time, you could see the top of Emma's head for the first time since you were kids. You were actually growing! Somehow you had the power to make yourself taller, and no one ever noticed. Even your clothes grew with you. This was quite possibly the best thing that you could have imagined happening.
You kept thinking about growing taller than Kayla, and were excited to watch Kayla's head get lower and lower, until it sank beneath your view. You kept focusing on growing yourself until the top of Kayla's head only reached your chin. You estimated that you were now about 6'10", nearly 2 feet taller than when you woke up this morning! And to think, all you had to do was will it and you could grow to whatever height you wanted, no problem. You just had to show off your new height to your sisters.
"Do you two notice anything different about me?" you asked. "Like, maybe, I'm . . . taller?"
"Because you of all people needs to grow some more," Kayla scoffed.
"Yeah, some of us are normal sized, you know," Emma chimed in. Just as you suspected, they acted like you had always been this tall. But they also seemed more annoyed with you than normal, especially Emma. Probably because she was now the shortest in the family, so maybe that made her the target of Kayla's teasing instead of you. You also wondered if you had ever teased her in the past because of the height difference between you two.
You felt bad for Emma being so short now, when you had an idea. If you could make yourself grow just by thinking about it, could you do the same thing for someone else? It couldn't hurt to try, so you focused on Emma growing taller. Soon after thinking about it, you watched Emma's head slowly rise. She kept walking like nothing was happening, but you were transfixed on watching Emma get taller and taller. Not long after you started growing her, she matched Kayla's height, then surpassed it, inching her way closer and closer to yours. You kept on growing her until she was your height. Then, feeling generous, you gave her another couple inches so that she could be an even 7 feet tall.
Even though you and Emma had just gained nearly 2 feet in height, your clothes still fit just as perfectly as when you were smaller. It truly felt like the only difference between you before and after growing was that you were bigger. Otherwise, everything was the same, scaled up.
The three of you walked in silence the rest of the way to school, you and Emma taking smaller steps than normal to compensate for Kayla's much shorter legs. When you got to school, you had to duck slightly to avoid hitting your head on the doorframe. You smiled at the idea that low doors had become a serious problem for you. It was still so surreal that you could just grow people with your mind, and weirder still that doing so changed everyone's memories of the people who grew.
Inside the school, you split up with your sisters and made your way to your first class of the day.
