“So...” Alexis broke the silence. Monica didn’t have much to reply with, so she awkwardly asked,
“What was the assignment? I kinda missed it,” she said, a little embarrassed for herself,
“Oh, I think it was something about making a... uh...” Alexis was confused too, “to be honest, I wasn’t paying a lot of attention,” he remarked,
“Well, that makes two of us,” Monica stated.
Monica, on her own, wasn’t all that bad. She was pretty awkward, in fact. It seemed to be that she only acted bitchy when she was around her friends. Too bad Monica couldn’t be too open, as her ‘boss’ was only a table away, angrily bossing poor Peter around,
“The assignment is due next week,” Monica said, peering over Alexis’ shoulder at the group next to her, “that should give us enough time to half-ass the thing,” she joked. After she said it, she looked a little nervous, analysing Alexis’ reaction. Lucky for her, Alexis chuckled. She smiled,
“So...” she started a new conversation suddenly, “it’s your birthday,”
“Oh yeah,” Alexis said, forgetting, “yeah it is...”
“Cool,” she responded awkwardly, then suddenly jumped back in with, “happy birthday- I mean...” she was clearly nervous,
“Thanks,” he replied. They sat there in awkward silence once again. Alexis caught a glance from Brianna before she looked away,
“So... how was lunch?” Monica asked, randomly. Alexis couldn’t help but chuckle, “w-what?” She asked, “I’m not good at small talk,” she said honestly,
“No, no, you’re doing a good job,” he reassured her. She smiled a little, looking down awkwardly to avoid eye contact, “it was... good...” Alexis replied,
“Nice, what did you get?” She asked,
“Oh... I didn’t actually get anything,”
“Really? So you didn’t have lunch?”
“No,” he replied. Seeing her concerned expression, he added, “I wasn’t hungry, though,”
Then, perfectly on cue, his stomach rumbled,
“Really?” She asked, sarcastically.
But suddenly, she felt her own stomach shift. She looked down and watched as her belly suddenly bloated a little. Alexis watched it, knowing it was his powers working without his input,
“D-did you...” she hesitated, placing her hands on her belly, “...just see that?” She asked Alexis,
“What? No... what was it?” Alexis lied,
“My belly... it just bloated,” she said, taking her hands off, then placing them back on, “and it was right after-”
Alexis’ belly rumbled right on cue, once again.
“Will you stop!” He whispered to himself,
He watched again, as Monica’s belly started to bloat again. It grew enough to actually start pressing against her shirt,
“You’re doing this!?” She asked, trying to keep her cool,
“W-well...” Alexis hesitated,
“Alexis!?” She looked at him with worry in her eyes,
“Yes, okay, it’s me,” he admitted, failing to keep his lie up, “but don’t say anything. I’m not doing it on purpose, there are a few things I can’t control with it,”
“You can control things?” She asked, “control people’s bellies?” She asked, being completely serious,
“N-no, not just bellies. Anything, I can-”
“So you could make my boobs bigger if you wanted to?” She butted in,
“Among other things...”
“S-sorry... I got a little carried away...” she added.
“So can you fix this?” She asked, pointing to her belly,
“I’ll do my best,” Alexis said, focussing on making her belly smaller. Succeeding, of course, returning her belly to orignal flatness,
“Wow!” She said loudly, but quickly covering her mouth. Alexis noticed Brianna looking over,
“You can’t tell anyone, okay?” Alexis said, quietly,
“Okay, okay...” she said, hesitating. Alexis knew she was going to ask something. He let out a long sigh before watching as her breasts suddenly grew at least a cup size larger, “y-you... you just did that!?” She said, gleefully.
“Yeah, now remember, you can’t-”
“Monica, did your tits just get bigger?” Brianna asked, sliding over to the table,
“I-” Monica hesitated,
“Tell me! Did they?” Brianna demanded,
“Y-yeah...” she responded, fearfully,
“How the hell did they do that!?” She asked, once again, demandingly,
“I- I can’t tell you!” Monica replied,
“Hell yes you can, and you will!” Brianna said, grabbing her arm forcefully,
“It was me,” Alexis jumped in, not wanting to see Monica be tortured,
“Alexis, you really made her boobs bigger, huh?” She said, looking Alexis right in the eyes,
“Yeah, I did it. And I wasn’t planning on telling anyone,” he replied,
“So you can make boobs grow? That’s it,” She stated, matter-of-factory,
“No,” Alexis corrected her, “I can change other things,”
“Great!” She said, fire in her eyes, “then I know what I want you to change,” she said,
“I’m not just gonna change people because you said so, I can’t just-”
“If you refuse, I’ll have to tell the whole class,” she said, smirking an evil smirk,
