Lisa struggled to remain calm, shutting the door of Andy’s bedroom carefully to avoid slamming it. She squeezed her hands to her forehead. Her friend had lied to her…about her.
One thing was certain, that stuff hadn’t simply “gotten thicker,” it had changed. Jennifer’s body was growing fur, a different type but fur nonetheless. She had to assume that it was going to happen to all of them eventually. Well, she would have to ask Jennifer about it in the morning…assuming that either of them could get any sleep.
---------------------------------------------------
“So,” asked Lisa the next morning. “What is really going on with Jennifer?”
“Her entire skin structure is changing; she’s going to be growing fur now. And before you ask, it will probably be the same for all of you eventually.”
“Mom, why did you have Jen lie to me – for my protection??”
“Yes, Lisa, I did it to protect you. What happened to Jennifer happened because of the stress about her mother. I didn’t want to see that happen to you.”
“Mom, it’s going to anyway, sooner or later. Mom…look…please, I forgive you both…just…for God’s sake be honest with me from now on. Deal?
Jennifer insisted on going to school. The cramps had ceased, leaving her with powerful abdominal and thigh muscles, but surprisingly little change in bulk. In a few days, she knew, she wouldn’t be recognizable even to herself.
She had woken up and was briefly delighted to find several strands of hair on her pillow. The elation evaporated a moment later when she realized that her beautiful long blonde hair was beginning to fall out, to make way for the coarse curls growing on the rest of her body.
Something else had changed as well. Not only was she getting a pleasant warm and tingling sensation around the opposite sex, guys were actually smiling at her and giving her gentle squeezes as she walked by. She had worn a long sleeve shirt and baggy pants to accommodate her changes, but guys seemed genuinely interested in her now.
In fact, though she didn’t’ know it the pheromones her body was exuding would soon make her all but irresistible.
Jennifer was smiling uncontrollably as she came home from school that Friday. “They like me, Lisa, they really LIKE me!! Matt Hooper asked me out for Saturday night!”
