Jordan stared down,a nd actually saw the cuffs of his pants rise up another half inch! Except is wasn't the pants getting shorter - he was getting taller!
He ran to the mirror over his dresser and checked his reflection. A light shadow had appeared on his upper lip, the first sign of adolescence that he'd been hoping for. He shifted a little as he stood there, and realized that his shirt and pants were getting uncomfortably tight.
His shirt pulled off easily, but his pants took a bit of yanking to get them down. He had muscles! His hand ran over the new bulges on his arms, and the thicker flesh over his chest. This was fantastic! He looked like a normal 14 year-old now! Maybe even a little buffed out! That old guy could have anything he wanted!
As he posed in front of the mirror, he realized he was still getting bigger. The hair on his lip spread down around his cheeks and chin, and oddly up toward his eyes. But he was really looking big now! Heck, there were 16 year-olds he knew who didn't have muscles like this! And he was even taller!
"Hey, Jordan? You wanna hit the Mall?" Jackson sounded closer. he was probably coming down the hall now.
"Uh, just a minute." Jordan was surprised by his voice. It sounded deeper, and even a bit gruff.
"Hey, you getting a cold?" Jackson was just outside the door now.
Jordan looked back in the mirror, trying to decide what to do. He could pass for a high-school athlete now but as happy as that made him, the changes to his face were getting a Little weird. His eyes were bigger and further apart, and his nose and mouth looked like they were pushed out. And what was with his beard? It was up around his nose and temples, merging with his hair on both sides, and creeping up to almost touch his eyes. And it didn;t look like whiskers. He reached up and felt the thick pelt. He had some kind of black animal hide on his face!
