Midlife Crisis

Chapter 4
Mirrors Don't Lie

Chapter Description: High school is not quite as easy as Susie was hoping for.

“My name is Susan Weathers. I’m new to this town and have just transferred into this school,” I told my homeroom class. I was surprised by how many students there were in this class. Usually my average class size during my first time through high school was about fifteen or sixteen, but there were at least twice as many in here. I couldn’t help but notice a lot of them snickering at me, keeping there laughs hidden behind their hands.

“All right Susan, why don’t you take a seat,” the teacher told me. I eyed a seat next to Carrie who waved at me to come sit by her. “Alright class, now please open your textbooks to Chapter 5. Today we will be talking about the Pythagorean theorem.” Ah, the Pythagorean theorem, that involved finding...finding...something...about triangles. But, why am I having trouble remembering? It has been a while since I went to high school, so I guess it is possible that I just forgot about it. After all, how often do I use any of that algebra stuff anyway?

After what seemed like an eternity the bell finally rang and the classroom turned into a madhouse of children rushing out of the classroom. My next class was gym, as was Carrie’s too. The two of us walked down to the locker room together. Walking down the parade of gym lockers, I found myself being met with a loud roar of snickering. What was these girls problem anyway?

“Nice shirt kiddie.” A girl called out to me. She was very tall, very well developed, especially in comparison to me.

“What’s wrong with High School Musical?” I asked, slightly embarrassed.

“Oh nothing at all, if you’re a little baby,” she laughed, which was met with a chorus of other girls laughing too. I take it she’s one of the popular girls at the school. I often times would have to deal with popular girls the first time through high school, often times coming home in tears. This time would be different though. I’m not going to fall victim to it again. “Where are your diapers baby?”

“Well, I’m not a baby and I’ll like whatever I want to like, not what you tell me to.” That should put her in her place I thought as I walked over to my locker.

“That was really kind of cool,” Carrie said impressed.

“Well, I know girls like that. Just cause they develop early they think they are better then everyone else.” I said as I took off my clothes and put on my gym uniform.

“Be careful though, Susie. It’s dangerous to stand up to the popular girls.”

“Well, I guess High School Musical isn’t quite as popular in high school. I’ll have to keep that in mind.”

“Yeah that’s true,” Carrie laughed.

“Hey, don’t start laughing at me too!” I giggled and laughed with Carrie. We then proceeded out of the locker room and into the gym. They had us standing in a line alphabetically. There were three other classes in the gym. I wonder if the school needs more money. Well, I’m not old enough to pay taxes, so there is nothing I can do about it anymore. Carrie and I continued to talk about things. She was a very nice girl, a little strange but a very nice girl. It was perhaps because that we were busy talking that I don’t notice her sneak up behind me. Before I could react, she grabbed my gym shirt and my training bra and lifted them up so that everyone could see my naked chest.

“Wow, look at how small your breasts are. You really are a little baby aren’t you.” She laughed, as did the rest of the girls in the class. I shrieked as the whole gym turned in my direction. I pulled my shirt down and ran down into the locker room crying. I went into one of the bathroom stalls and just started crying. How could she just do that to me?! Embarrassing me in front of everyone like that. All I did was defend myself! I couldn’t help but cry like crazy, and as I did I felt a strong tingling spread across my body, just like it did last night. I tried to calm down, but the tingling just kept creeping over my body.

“Susie, are you okay?” Carrie called out to me beyond the stall. The tingling started to subside as I started to calm down.

“Yeah, I think I’m okay now,” I said still slightly crying. I stood back up and opened the stall door and became horrified by what I saw. Carrie and I were originally eye level with each other but now she was about six inches taller then me! Now, I remember! That tingling was the exact same thing I felt when I regressed the first time. Don’t tell me I’m still regressing!

I rushed passed Carrie and over to a mirror. A girl of about 12 looked back at me! The breasts that I did have were now no more then swollen little bumps on my chest.

“Susie? What happened to you?” Carrie asked concerned.

“I...I don’t know...” I said scared. Scared that the pill might not have worked completely as planned. Scared that I didn’t know what was happening to me. And scared that, there was a possibility that I might get even younger....
