"Beryl, quick - use the curse to fix me, and I'll do the same for you, "said Jennifer desperately. "Hurry, we don't have much time."
Beryl pushed past Jennifer and opened the door. She had to duck to fit through the small door frame.
"We already tried that. You expect me to trust you after what you just pulled? No way. I'm going to do what I should have done in the first place. I'm going home. My brother and I can just use the curse to fix each other," said Beryl.
"But what about me? " whined Jennifer. "I don't have any clothes that fit. And I'm going to get even bigger in about 15 minutes. Everyone in the school will see me naked. What am I supposed to do?"
"I don't know, and I don't care. It's not my problem, " said Beryl. "You should have thought of that before you tried to screw with me and my brother. You're on your own." Beryl let the door slip from her fingers, slowly closing on a frightened Jennifer.
Beryl looked at the clock in the hallway. She now had less than 15 minutes until her next growth spurt. She estimated that she was about 7 feet tall, and that her next growth spurt would bring her to about 7'8".
Really tall, but not unmanageable. I'm not a 50 foot monster yet, she thought. But if I don't do something, I will soon be. She ran down the hallway, and out the door. She was now much too large to fit in her car, but with luck, she would make it home while her clothes still fit. And then, it was up to Kyle to save her.
