Peter was strolling down the hallway at his high school. The last bell had rung, and all the students were streaming out of their classrooms.
"Peter! Peter!" someone called out.
He turned around and spotted Ty, who was right behind him.
"Hey cousin... Miss Ellis asked me to remind you, that you need to pick up a book in the library..." he reminded Peter.
"Okay... thanks, Ty!" Peter smiled, as he turned around and walked back to the library. He needed to pick up a book, which he requested earlier.
After a few moments, he strolled down the hall, holding the book in his hand, when he heard someone shouting down the hallway.
"I told you I wanted your protection fee... Give me the money, NOW!!!" Chad shouted at Trey. Chad was about 6 foot 3" tall, and he was built like a tank. The junior was bigger and stronger than anyone else, and he enjoyed using his weight and height to his advantage. He made sure the freshmen stayed far away from him.
"Look, man... Leave me alone, okay?" Trey pleaded with him. "I don't have any money on me right now..."
Poor Trey was 5 foot tall and had jet black hair. He was as skinny as a board, and he had no muscle at all.
Chad quickly grabbed Trey by the shirt collar, and slammed the freshman with his back against the steel doors of the lockers in the hallway of the deserted school.
"If you don't give me every dime you have, then I'll take the liberty of rearranging your face, little PUNK!" Chad growled at the boy. Poor Trey started trembling with fear, when peter showed up.
"Chad! Leave him alone, man.... What's the problem?" Peter said to him.
"Stay out of it, Peter!" Chad sneered back.
"No! Quit picking on the freshmen, dude... that's lame!" Peter shouted back.
"Oh yeah?" Chad said, in a threatening voice.
Chad dropped Trey against the wall, before he turned around and started to walk towards Peter.
"Look, Chad... You gotta quit picking on the-..." Peter began to tell him, when he was suddenly overcome by an intense tingling feeling in his chest.
"Ooohhhh...." Peter groaned, just as Chad came up to him.
Suddenly, Peter's body started to expand in all directions! His chest inflated like a large balloon, forcing the buttons to pop off his shirt!
POP! POP! POP!
Chad's mouth just dropped wide open, when he saw Peter hulk out of his clothes.
Peter's arms became twice as thick, with soccer-ball sized biceps popping up. His chest ballooned to the point that his shirt ripped in four pieces!
RRRRIIIIIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!
His jeans tore by the seams as his legs turned into massive redwood tree trunks, right before Chad and Trey. Trey was trembling with fear, since he had no idea, what was happening to Peter.
Finally, the growth stopped, leaving Peter standing almost a foot taller than Chad.
"Uhh... P-p-peter... I..." Chad stuttered. Peter was now hulking over him.
"Get out of my face, you bully! Scram!" Peter ordered him, as he slowly walked closer to Chad, who was now a foot shorter. Peter was now 7 foot 6 tall!
"I'm outta here!" Chad cried, as he turned around and ran out the door, at the end of the hallway.
Peter turned to face Trey, who was trembling in the corner. His face was pale with fear, when he saw Peter walking towards him.
"W-who a-a-are y-y-you?" Trey whispered. "Don't hurt me... I didn't do nothin'... I'm always the one who gets picked on..."
"Well, Trey... I'm Peter... I won't hurt you..."
"How did you get to be so big?" Trey wondered.
"My friend, Allen, can make me grow. So can Joce. Would you like to meet them?"
"S-s-sure.... I wish I could grow big like that..."
"Let's walk over to Ty's house... We'll see what they can do for you!"
Peter turned and walked out the door, holding the door open for Trey. Trey was only 15, but he looked smaller and younger than his age.
The two slowly made their way to Ty's house, where Ty, Dustin, Allen and Joce were hanging out.
In the meantime, Chad had gotten together with his friends from school. He told them all about Peter and Trey, and the thugs weren't happy...
“I’ll have to deal with Peter myself” the gang leader growled. “We will rule the school and we will get protection money from these little freshman brats!”
“But… I saw him hulk out right in front of me! I swear! He just started to GROW!” Chad said to Andrew Nelson, who was the gang leader. “I have never seen anyone grow like that!”
“Hmm… I need to see that for myself!” Andrew Nelson growled back.
Meanwhile, Trey and Peter finally reached Ty’s house. Nobody dared to mess with them, while they walked to the house, because Peter was still very tall and muscular…
