The bus pulled up to the first stop as Ao stepped up to let Min out. "Where are you going?" Chunyu asked. "You don't go with Min silly." Ao nodded her head as she blushed. "No, I know. I was just letting Min out." Min waved back to the bus at the girls as she made her way into the elementary school. A few new highschoolers got onto the bus as Ao shot them a few glances to the wayside, the boys were talking but she could only make out a few words. "Don't blush so much Ao, you'll make a scene." Chunyu waved her hand giggling.
Ao blushed even more at being so obviously enamored. She was terrible at hiding her emotions, especially around boys. "Sorry." Ao whispered as the two girls laughed. A few moments later the bus hit a speed bump, causing Ao to bounce, landing with a tiny yelp. Chunyu looked over Ao as she started to fuss over her. "Is your hair ok?" she asked as she straightened out Ao's hair, feeling as her fingers gently combed over her head. "It look ok, but fix your shirt before it gets wrinkly." she continued to fuss as Ao sat up to straighted her shirt. Chunyu pouted, "Hmm, somethings off, it's a bit baggy on you, did you take one of my shirts?" Ao shook her head, "No, I didn't." she said as her body grew thinner as her frame shrunk ever so lightly to make the shirt grow on her. Her skirt edge slipping closer to her knees and her socks becoming less snug to her calves. "No it definitely looks way too large on you, it must have just gotten mixed up in the laundry is all." Chunyu stated. Ao felt a slight wave of lightheadedness as she continued to shrink, now certainly petite. Her sleeves extending to now easily covering her hands, only the tips of her fingers could be seen if she outstretched them. Her skirt drapped over her knees as she must have lost several inches of height. One sock had started to slide down her calf as they had also grown thinner, her shoes dangling as her heel could easily slide out if she wanted.
Chunyu looked at the now disheveled Ao, "What did I say about wearing my stuff, none of this fits you." she asked annoyed. Ao looked back with guilt. "Sorry big sister." She didn't have any excuse, she kinda wished if she wore her clothes she'd become like Chunyu, she was good in class, and could talk to people. She felt inadequate compared to her sister.
The bus lurched to a stop infront of the high school. Chunyu stood up to block the aisle. "Come on Ao." waved hurriedly. Ao meekly tried to stand up, a small "eep!" escaped her lips as she could feel her skirt slipping, her waist was way too small for them. Her face turned bleat red as she used a hand to hold them up as she marched down the aisle, taking care for her shoes to not slip off with each step. Chunyu, followed behind, overprotective as usual.
As Ao stepped off, Chunyu immediately ordered Ao to follow her, which she obeyed as the last inkling of independence left her. Chunyu was so much better than her after all, she wasn't in any place to demand anything. Ao didn't just feel inadequate, she knew she was. She could barely function if it wasn't for her sister caring for her. Ao paused as she moaned as the social stress bubbled inside of her, so many eyes on her, they must have all known she was wearing the wrong clothes, they were all judging her and there was nothing she could say. She wanted to curl up into a ball and die.
Chunyu grabbed Ao's hand and pulled her along. "Come on." she stated bluntly, as if she was well normalized to her having paralyzing social anxiety. As the two made it down the hallway a parade of kids all stared at Ao and snickered, a few pointing and saying something in English with a mocking tone. Everything she had believed was true, and it only made her feel worse. As she looked at the door to her first class she tried to step to make a run for it, only to be stopped by Chunyu as she pulled her little sister along into the classroom, one of her shoes slipping off into the hallway.
