After dropping Hank off at his school, Eric headed for his own. Numerous thoughts ran through his head, ranging from needed to buy some new clothes for him and Hank to wondering who else might notice these changes. However, the thought that kept jumping to the foreground was Eric wanting to put on the jacket. The school building was in sight when Eric finally gave into temptation and slipped on the jacket.
Walking into his first class, Eric headed to his usual chair and got comfortable. As the lesson progressed, his focus on the jacket ended, as Eric paid attention to the teacher. It wasn't until Eric had his lunch break that he decided to see what progress the jacket had made on his body. He already knew that his feet were bigger, from how tight his shoes now felt. Slipping into a bathroom, Eric slowly took the jacket off.
In the mirror, Eric almost did not recognize the person reflected. His shirt looked painted onto his body, with two square pectoral muscles just starting to push out and eight cobblestone abs viewable even through the material. His biceps were large enough now, forcing his sleeves to ride up. And when Eric rolled his sleeves down and then flexed, he could hear the distinct sound of tearing cloth. He also noticed that his shirt was now, not only too small for his muscles, but also too short leaving an inch or two of skin exposed. His legs had also gotten a similar treatment, now looking more like columns of muscle, which were now too long for his jeans, leaving him at least two inches over six feet tall.
Realizing that he couldn't walk around school with clothes at least three sizes too small, Eric quickly headed to the lost and found. Rummaging through the various articles available, Eric was able to find some jeans which were slightly longer then his current legs, but also had a huge waist. However, since he had a belt, Eric knew that he could make them work. The problem was with the shirts being offered. Noe a single one seem big enough to fit him until he finally came across an old football jersey. Knowing that it was his only option, Eric prayed that none of the football players or coaches caught his wearing it.
