“Hey Kendra!” she heard her name being called out behind her so she turned and smiled and even gave a return wave to the cheerful girl rushing up to her.

Kendra searched her mind trying to place her but for some reason, this name wasn’t coming up like most of the other ones had that morning. “Think damn it…think!” Kendra Wells yelled internally.

Finally a name snapped into place “What up Paige?!” she called out.

“Nothing much…just another day around here” Paige Underwood replied coming up close.

Kendra assessed the smiling girl in front of her. Long blonde hair, braces and big brown eyes. She was dressed in a jean jacket, bright orange top, skinny jeggings and black ankle boots.

“Get used to it Kendra…got to act perkier…more enthusiastic” she reminded herself. “I’m just on my way to Mr. Hopkins Language arts class”

“Duh…I’m in it with you…have been all year ya goof” Paige said.

Kendra laughed nervously. Most of her sister’s memories had transferred to her slowly over the course of the last day but she was still awkward and piecing some things together “Yeah…I know…I’m just slow this morning alright”

“Not enough sleep?” Paige asked.

To Kendra, Paige seemed to ooze energy “Is this what I’m becoming?” she asked herself. “Let’s get going so we’re not late” she said.

Once in their classroom, Kendra knew where to go and what desk she should sit in; it was just there in the forefront of her mind without even concentrating on it. She tried to think what she should be doing at 10:20 on a Monday morning “Was it Chem lab?” she thought trying to recall her schedule.

She tried to picture her dorm room but details were fading already. After this had initially happened, she kept picturing the room she had been taken out of by her Mom who didn’t see anything wrong. But as the day had went on, slowly but surely, the details began to fade. She could still picture the dorm room but now, it was just a place she had visited twice, not lived in.

Mr. Hopkins came in and her picture of him solidified. She had perceptions but now everything snapped into place, including her schoolgirl crush on a man who was now twice her age instead of maybe just a few years older that she could have even had a chance with.

“God this sucks ass on so many levels!” Kendra thought as she pulled out her copy of Lord of the Flies “I know I had to read this already but I can’t remember a damn thing in it…thanks Maddie… I get to read it again but I hope it comes in handy in your mind!”

Paige Underwood sat up straight in her seat, her feet firmly on the ground as she dug into her backpack for her book “I think that went well” she told herself “You’re doing fine…nobody knows anything is off…you’re coming up with everybody and your classes…just keep it up Paige” she told herself. “Did I overdo it with Kendra? Am I supposed to be this excited?” she was questioning herself as she glanced over at the short girl with brown hair and green eyes. Kendra also wore braces but was dressed much different. She wore black boots and torn jeans, a black t-shirt and an army green jacket over everything. Her hair was pulled back in a ponytail and she had circles beneath her eyes but Paige knew her and knew they were friends.

She watched Kendra’s small and still rather flat chest rise and fall as she breathed and thought “I’m tall! I’m taller than regular 8^th graders!”

She caught herself smiling for no reason “Look surly…you’re not supposed to be happy for no reason now and you are a regular 8^th grader now too” she scolded herself trying to suppress her smile as everyone filtered into the classroom.

Paige picked out the kids coming in “There’s Gavin…he’s a troublemaker; and there’s Steph Namath…she’s nice” nodding to the tall and skinny blonde as she sat down next to her. Josh Brown and Emma Hughes came in joined at the hip like always “This is getting easier” Paige thought confidently and it was all thanks to her brother Grayson being such a big jerk “Haha…big jerk…not anymore he’s not” she added as class started up.

Kendra made her way down the cafeteria line about to gag “Chicken nuggets and a fruit cup…wow” she rolled her eyes. She let her mind drift to Maddie’s thoughts and instincts and made her way to the 3^rd table.

She almost asked if she could sit down, but she knew this was where she sat; right across from Paige “Guess we really are friends” she thought as she plopped down across from the cheerful and smiling girl.

She nodded toward the bigger group at the other end of the table. Steph and Abby and Alex and Mike and Savannah and Josh and Emma were already well engaged in conversation while she and Paige began to talk.

They kept it casual and not too deep; just talk about classes mixed in with YouTube and some Memes.

Kendra knew she was more sarcastic than her sister Maddie “But I’m not here as Maddie” she reminded herself, so she began making some comments about people and teachers passing by.

“God you’re so funny!” Paige said as she squirmed a bit and adjusted her bra.

“What…first time wearing a bra over there” Kendra said with a sly smile.

Paige blushed hard “OMG, She knows!” flashed through her mind but she laughed it off “No, of course not…I’m bigger than you are” she said “Just got poked by a wire and needed to shift”

“Just kidding with you jugs” Kendra said. Paige was quite a bit larger than she was. Kendra was a late bloomer and her breasts didn’t take off until well into high school.

They got in on the larger groups’ conversation and both knew they were peripheral members of it; fine at school but didn’t hang around much outside of it.

Kendra made a joke about Mr. Cook’s tie and everyone laughed but especially Paige. “She’s a bit overeager” Kendra thought as they got up to go to his class.

Paige was trying to keep from blushing too hard; lunch had been difficult to get through for her “Classes are fine…my mind can keep up with everything going on there but I think I need to work on my social interactions” she thought as she dumped out her tray and gathered up her stuff. She was carrying extra supplies in her backpack just in case of an emergency which made it heavy. She was glad her back could carry the weight though as she caught with Kendra who was slouching by the door waiting for her.

They walked to their science class together but also talking with Alex and Mike who were in the same class too.

Mr. Cook came in and after they went over their homework, he announced something that made everyone groan internally. “We’re going to be doing a class project”

“You’ll pair up and you’ll be doing the final part of it outside of the class; I want you all to pair up; just teams of 2 and record a 5 minute video showing a science experiment. You’ll go over your supplies, then the steps and show it all out as you do it…” he droned on for a while but Paige managed to lean over to Kendra and ask “Partners?”

Kendra nodded.

“Great; come over to my house after school and we can come up with an idea!” Paige said.

“Sure” Kendra replied. “Not like I have anything else to do after school but walk to my friend’s house; Oh maybe I can ride my bike!” the sarcasm was getting heavier in her mind. “No job…no boyfriend…no car… no independence…barely even have a phone…” she added for herself seeing Maddie’s mature face burn into her mind.

“So what do you think you’re going to do for Cook’s class?” Steph Namath asked Paige as they headed to their lockers at the end of the day.

“I don’t know yet” Paige answered. She was nearly as tall as Steph; she had been measuring herself up with everyone throughout the day. “We might make slime”

“I think everybody is going to do that!” Steph replied “Parker and I are doing Elephant toothpaste for ours”

“Oh…sounds cool!” Paige replied “Me and Kendra will probably look around on YouTube tonight and get some ideas”

Paige waited by the front doors until Kendra came out “So what’s up?” Kendra asked hefting her backpack up on just her left shoulder. She gave a bit of side eye to Paige for wearing hers up on both shoulders but thought “Whatever”

“Just talking with Stephanie about what we should do with our project”

“Oh” Kendra replied. She brought out her phone and replied to a couple of texts while they walked. She had sent three to her sister Maddie and was disappointed that she hadn’t gotten a response.

Once at Paige’s house, they went in and immediately had to duck as her little brother Grayson threw a foam ball at Paige’s head.

“You little jerk! Knock it off!” she yelled back at him as he stuck his tongue out.

“That’s what you’re going to get!” he yelled as he ran off.

“What’s that all about?” Kendra asked as she unlaced her boots and took them off.

“Nothing” Paige said “Just my jerk of a brother” She looked around as she unzipped the sides of her boots and slipped her feet out. “You’re lucky your sister is off at college” she added as she took off her socks revealing purple painted toes.

Kendra bit her lip and seethed but said nothing as she took off her jacket as well “Lucky my ass” she thought. “She should be the one here figuring out an 8^th grade science project not me. I should be in my room right now getting ready for work but no…”

Kendra followed Paige up to her room. “My laptop’s up here. I thought we could do some searches for a good project” Paige said leading her upstairs.

Paige sat at her desk while Kendra flopped on the bed “Cool room” she commented.

“Thanks” Paige replied “It’s kind of blah and plain…”

“Not like we get to express ourselves” Kendra said as Paige laughed.

“I’m used to expressing myself by coloring” Paige said before clamping her mouth shut and turning beet red.

“What?!” Kendra said sitting up “Funny!”

“Oh yeah…haha…just joking” Paige mumbled nervously.

Kendra pulled out her phone “What’s your Wi-Fi password, I can look too”

Paige gave her the password grateful to play off her little slip up as a joke.

“Stupid parental controls on my phone” Kendra growled “I miss being in college so much”

“What?!” Paige said.

“What?” Kendra replied not realizing she had been talking out loud.

“You said you missed being in college” Paige said in a quizzical voice.

“Haha…I’m just joking” Kendra replied nervously trying to hide her blush. She could feel her ears burning though and really wanted to take out her ponytail to cover them up “Just like you and your coloring books”

Paige stopped and changed the subject “I was thinking of just making slime” she said but their eyes met and both were giving the other the same skeptical look.

After about an hour of searching, Paige finally said “We’re friends right”

“Yeah” Kendra replied.

“Is there anything you want to tell me?” Paige asked.

“What do you mean?” Kendra replied staying on guard.

“Well, I kind of have a secret and I think you do too” Paige said looking Kendra in the eye “I think we both share a similar secret and it’s something that nobody else would even possibly believed happened. But I’m just getting this vibe from you and I think I’m putting it off too. I see a look in your eyes that I’ve seen before”

Kendra’s throat tightened but instead of locking up, something inside her mind clicked “She’s like you but the opposite!”

Paige felt the same thought pass through her mind “She’s like you but the opposite!”

“Are you talking about?” Kendra started and stopped “I mean…if we…gah! I don’t know how to put this!”

“Like the biggest and strangest thing that’s ever happened and you thought it only happened to you but now you’re thinking that it’s happened to someone else too” Paige said digging deeper.

“Like something so out of the ordinary that it only happens in like stupid movies big?” Kendra asked.

Paige nodded “I’ll tell you if you tell me because I think we both went through the same thing”

“It’s so big though…if it’s not…you’re going to think I’m absolutely crazy…like needing a strait jacket crazy” Kendra said.

“Mine’s the same way…we just need to do this. We’re friends and this is just between us” Paige said. Kendra was fiddling with her hands, picking at the skin around her nails “I’ll go first”

Kendra looked up.

Paige took a deep breath; she was shaking a bit “Up until yesterday I was 8 years old”

Kendra’s jaw dropped.

“I made a wish and it came true. My brother was always picking on me so I yelled out “I wish I could change places with you! I wish I was the older one!” Paige looked over at Kendra’s shocked expression.

Paige shrugged “And it happened. I started growing and he started shrinking until we switched ages and now I’ve got some of my memories and some of his and…”

“Oh my God” Kendra finally managed to say. She felt like she was choking.

“Please don’t think I’m nuts I…” Paige started until Kendra put up her hand telling her to stop.

“It’s okay Paige” Kendra said.

“It is?”

“Yeah” Kendra replied “Because you were right; I’m in a similar situation just coming from the other side. Up until yesterday, I was 20 and in college”

Paige’s jaw dropped.

“My Mom and my little sister Madison came for a visit. I showed them around campus, introduced them to my friends, all that junk and then my Mom went to go get the car and Madison and I were left alone in my dorm room. She looked up at me and said ‘I wish I didn’t have to go back. I wish I got to stay here and go to college’”

“And you two swapped?” Paige asked.

Kendra nodded “Yep. She started growing and maturing and I started shrinking and I mean shrinking everywhere. By the time Mom got back, I was 14 and she was 20 and she didn’t see anything wrong! She took me home and left Maddie there in my place”

Paige just nodded as Kendra continued “I also have a mix of memories; some mine and some Maddie’s”

“I want to hear everything!” Paige said.

“If I tell my full story you have to as well” Kendra said.

“I promise!” Paige said

Kendra sighed, it felt like a huge weight was being lifted off her “I didn’t think I’d ever be able to tell this to anyone out loud; I can’t believe this”

“I know…I thought I’d have to keep this a secret from everybody!” Paige replied.

“So…where do I start?” Kendra asked herself “Well, I don’t know but here goes. I don’t think I was ever too mean to my sister. Maddie was six years younger than me and I always remember my Mom and Dad getting on me if I ever lashed out at her like when I was 8 or 9 and she was like 2 or 3 and would want to take my toys”

Kendra settled back “We weren’t even in the same school; every time she made it to one, I was already out of it and on to the next one. When I graduated high school 2 years ago, I made sure I kept all my old notes and papers for her in case she needed them. I babysat her a lot and we had fun; I’d take her to the movies or swimming or we’d play video games together”

Kendra shrugged “I don’t think she intended this to happen”

Paige looked at her quizzically.

“I don’t think she had any venom in her heart when she made her wish. I think it was just a wistful hope when she saw my level of freedom. I think she just wanted to rush a little bit in her growing up” Kendra continued.

“I had lived at home my first year at school and drove the 30 minutes back and forth but then Mom and Dad said I could live on campus. Maddie helped me move in. I came home a lot…mostly to mooch food or get my laundry done and I was home all of Christmas break. I was excited when they said they were going to come up and see me”

Kendra stopped and took a deep breath. She was picturing what was about to happen and it made her shiver.

“I made Maddie feel like a queen. I got all my friends to fuss over her and tell her about how awesome it was on campus. I introduced her to a few professors and showed her all the buildings and took them both out to lunch at my favorite Mexican place. When it was time for them to go, my Mom said she’d go get the car since it was a ways away and come back and pick up Maddie so we were left alone”

Kendra looked far off as she told this part of the story “I was standing and Maddie had been sitting on my bed. I was wearing just a pair of black shorts and a gray t-shirt…my hair was down; it was longer than it is now and I had in these hoop earrings that were my favorites. After the door closed, I spun around and said ‘So how was your weekend little sis?’

‘Awesome Kendra’ she told me ‘I had so much fun! I can’t wait until I get to go to college…I totally want to come here’”

Paige was nodding enthusiastically, literally sitting on the edge of her seat as Kendra told her story.

“Don’t go rushing your way through your life” I told her “You’ll get here in your own time; you’ve still got high school to experience” We both laughed as she scooted her way off the bed and stood up. She wrapped her arms around me and gave me a hug and said ‘I had so much fun this weekend though; I don’t want to go home’”

Kendra looked at Paige “When she said that and we were hugging, both of us felt a shock”

“Ooo!” I said to Maddie jumping back “What was that all about?”

“I don’t know!” Maddie replied laughing “We’re giving off sparks!”

“Now at this point, I’m a couple inches taller than my sister; six years older and um…” she looked down at her relatively flat chest for Paige’s benefit “…let’s just say I was a late bloomer. I had very nice breasts; 36Cs and she was the flat one between us…she was taking after me in that regard but we both laughed as we backed up a step or two from each other”

“I flipped my hair back and looked down at the floor and it was at that moment that I saw the first weird thing” Kendra paused.

“So I’m looking down and my sister is barefoot; so was I…but I had her foot in my line of sight and as I’m looking at it; it stats to grow”

“Oh my God!” Paige interjected.

Kendra nodded “I can still see that perfectly; her toes started just growing longer you know. Her toenails spread out and her polish changed color from pink to maroon. ‘Maddie!’ I yelled out ‘Oh My god Maddie look at your foot!’ and she looks down and she says ‘Oh My God! What’s happening to my foot!’ even as her feet are both changing now; they’re getting wider now and her nail polish is still getting darker”

Kendra stood up and began pacing as she kept talking “So Maddie starts jumping and dancing around but when she stops, she screams and points at my feet. I look down and my stomach is just rolling and I’m feeling light headed and I am just scared to death. Let me tell you Paige; it felt like a gut punch when I looked down and saw my feet shrinking. I could feel them moving against the thin carpet I had in my dorm room. I’m like digging my toes in and trying to stretch them out but they just keep moving back. My heels are planted but my toes are coming in and I can feel them getting smaller and thinner. My nails were painted black but they went clear with no polish at all on them and I look up at my sister and my jaw’s just hanging open and so is hers”

“My story is going to be so different” Paige said.

Kendra continued “So we’re looking at each other and she says in a real shaky voice ‘Kendra’ and I nod and say as strong as I can ’Yes Maddie’ and she says ‘I don’t feel right’ and then she starts to grow. She lets out a little yelp as her legs start to grow. We both look down and she’s wearing shorts and I can see them just growing! They’re getting longer but more than that they were changing shape. They were getting rounder; she was getting curvy. I watched her hips pop out and I could see her butt growing and pushing out her shorts”

“So I looked down at my own legs and all I was, was confused. My legs didn’t look right; they just didn’t feel right. My shorts felt loose. My vision kind of blurred right then but when it came back around, my legs were thinner. I’m still looking down when I hear Maddie say ‘Oh my God Kendra! You’re shrinking!’”

“I looked up and realized right away that something was wrong” Kendra laughed “Well even more wrong than just a minute before because I realized that my baby sister was now as tall as me. I lifted myself up on my tip toes to stay taller but I couldn’t hold it and when I went back down, she gasped because I was shorter than her.”

“Now I gasped because I could see her clothes getting tight on her, like super tight. Her shorts had turned into short shorts and her belly was showing because her shirt was lifting up. Her arms looked fuller and she goes ‘What’s happening to us?! Why are you smaller than me?!’

‘I don’t know!’ I yelled out but I got a new wave of nervousness because my voice didn’t sound the same. I coughed and tried to clear my throat but it didn’t help ‘Maddie?’ I said trying out my voice but it sounded reedier and not as sure as it should you know. But she answered me and her voice was coming from above me ‘Kendra’. Her voice sounded deeper and more confident than it had a few seconds earlier”

“I took another step back and really looked her up and down and it hit me so I said ‘Maddie! You look older!’ and she gasped again and said ‘That’s it! Kendra! You look like you’re younger! I’ve been staring at you and looking at you and watching you and that’s it. You’re getting shorter and your legs are definitely skinnier and I couldn’t quite figure out why your face looked different but that’s it! You look like a kid!’”

“Can I get something to drink?” Kendra paused.

Paige jumped up “Of course! What do you want?”

“Just some water”

Paige dashed off and Kendra looked out the window until she came back “Thanks I was getting dry”

“I brought some up for me too when I get to talking” Paige said sitting back down “Keep going; this is amazing”

Kendra took a long drink “So anyway…Maddie’s face was looking different too; more mature. Her features were larger and sharper and you know, just more adult looking than someone who’s just 14. Her hair darkened a little bit and grew longer and I brought my hands up and you know began touching all around my face. I ran my fingers over my nose and pressed down and I could feel it shrinking down a little bit beneath my fingers”

Kendra splayed out her fingers and wiggled them “My hands didn’t change much…at least I don’t think they did; maybe a little bit smoother. But anyway; I had my hands up to my face touching my cheeks and running my fingers down along my chin and jaw when I felt my hair pull. I got all itchy around my scalp and out of my peripheral vision I saw my hair changing style and getting shorter”

“I looked up; Maddie’s now several inches taller than me; she’s taller than I ever was and her face is just different. She looks like she should be in college and I just remember feeling my stomach drop and my heart flutter seeing her like that and I said in this dead tone of voice ‘We swapped ages Maddie’”

Kendra looked over at Paige and shook her head. “Maddie just stared at me blinking ‘Your wish’ I reminded her ‘You just said you wished you didn’t have to leave here…you wanted to go to college here’ and Maddie face turned bright red and she burst into tears ‘I didn’t mean that! Not like that I didn’t mean it!’ and then she gets this strange look on her face and she looks down at her chest. Her hands go up to the sides of her boobs and she squeezed them together and let out this low moan like ‘Uhhhhh’ and then I noticed my boobs were tingling too but in a weird numb way”

Kendra looked down at her rather small chest before continuing “My chest just deflated. Like it’s all here and nice and then I felt this pulling and sucking feeling in my chest and my shirt just deflates. You can see the cups of my bra against my t-shirt but they weren’t even close to being full. Maddie though has the opposite effect. Her little tiny boobs exploded out in like, one single burst and she goes from an A to a D cup. Her little bra pops its clasps in the back and this wave of boob comes forward and nearly tore her shirt off of her”

Paige laughed “Sorry, I couldn’t help it”

“It’s okay” Kendra said “It’s just that I’m wearing that exact same little bra right now”

Paige blushed “Sorry”

“I’m guessing…” she shrugged and bobbed her head “…hoping…that at least for me everything for me goes back the same; I just have to go through these 6 years all over again…I should get my boobs back in another two years”

“Yeah…there’s that” Paige agreed.

Kendra cleared her throat “I thought we were done. I looked up and saw my now very much taller and more mature sister and she made this kind of pained expression and when she did, she bared her teeth and something was different that didn’t immediately hit me but I realized that her teeth were nice and perfectly straight: That was when it hit me”

Kendra smiled and showed off her braces “I sure as heck didn’t have these 48 hours ago”

“Oh…yeah I bet you didn’t” Paige said looking sympathetic.

“My lips were parted when all of a sudden I felt this weight clamp down on each tooth. I felt metal wrap around my back molars then the wires came in and tightened down. I shut my mouth as tight as I could but my lips didn’t feel like they totally closed, like I couldn’t close them all the way because my braces were in the way” Kendra said. “I looked up again and Maddie now took charge of the situation. My brain was scrambled…I couldn’t think straight anymore, I wasn’t as sure as I had been and I was looking at her to tell me what to do next”

“So she goes ‘It’s going to be okay Kendra, we’re going to figure this out…just don’t scream and for God’s sake don’t freak out Mom when she gets back’ and I nod and deep down, I feel better because…” Kendra paused and looked down at the ground “…because my big sister had everything under control”

Paige saw she was crying again. She got her a tissue and patted her on the shoulder “It is going to be okay”

“That’s the same thing Maddie told me and now she won’t even return my texts!” Kendra said.

They took a break for a minute while Kendra composed herself “Maddie told me we needed to switch clothes and I got really scared hearing that but she was already stripping down, wiggling all over trying to get out of her clothes that were way too small on her but for me, it was all too easy. I didn’t even have to unbutton my shorts; I just pushed them down and my shirt was too big but I didn’t want to see how little my boobs were” She smiled “I took off my shirt though and yes, they looked ridiculous sitting there all small surrounded by my big bra”

“Maddie was stunning; she looked like an adult and I looked like a kid. I grabbed her clothes and got dressed as fast as I could” Kendra said.

“We heard footsteps in the hall just as Maddie was putting on her shirt; my heart is beating out of my chest as the door swings open. Both of us are standing there eyes as big as saucers as our Mom steps in and says ‘Kendra? You don’t even have your shoes on? The car’s running let’s go…you need to get out of your sister’s hair’ She winked at Maddie. I didn’t look up to see Maddie’s face but almost like I was being remote controlled, I walked over to the door and my Mom and put on my shoes. I barely heard my Mom saying goodbye, I just followed her out the door and down to the car”

“I don’t know what to say” Paige interjected.

Kendra shrugged “It was in the car as we drove home that my mind really started to change; like it was a delayed reaction but I was watching my Mom drive and I knew I didn’t know how to do that anymore. More and more thoughts about classes here at school replaced my real thoughts about school. I forgot a lot that day…it just drained out of me. I guess it all went to Maddie…a lot went to Maddie. I had a car, a boyfriend, friends on campus, my independence and adulthood…all gone…all Maddie’s now and I’m back in the 8^th grade”

“I’m still me damn it! I’m not Maddie but I have Maddie’s life and she has mine. I don’t look like her, I mean we’re sisters so we do look alike, but I’m in her place and I don’t know if I should be angry or embarrassed or what” Kendra said “It’s just not fair”

“I had to go home with my Mom…my Dad was working in the garage like always when we pulled in. He smiled at me like nothing was wrong, like I had always been his younger daughter. I went upstairs to my room; but it wasn’t my room. Everything was different from the walls to the clothes to the music; my tastes had, I don’t know, somehow they blended with my sister’s tastes. They were immature but they all made sense to me”

Kendra continued “Then this morning, God I was so nervous. I had to walk back into my old middle school; a place I had left years earlier but now I was back…never thought I’d be a student there ever again; how could I think that? But as I walked around, I recognized everybody. I knew where I was going. I’d see somebody and just know who they were and if I liked them or not…I knew where to sit, what my locker combination was. Hell, I had Mr. Cook 6 years ago and I had to sit through his boring ass class again. Mr. Hopkins is new…a few others too, but I know what we’re studying and I’m no further along than anybody else in that class. It’s like I never went through 8^th grade before”

“I’m sorry Kendra” Paige said to Kendra’s shrug. “I don’t think…I just don’t know what to say”

“You don’t have to say anything…but I do want to hear your story” Kendra said.

“I don’t know how it works” Paige said “I didn’t think what I said would come true either. I was mad at my brother; more like furious with him…he picked on me all the time but I’ve said stuff like that before and nothing happened at all”

“I thought it was because I was so mad that it actually happened but now that you told me that your sister wasn’t mad; I’m not sure anymore” Paige said.

“I don’t know Paige…all I know is what happened to me” Kendra sat as she sat cross legged on the bed.

“Do you think other people have been affected by something like this?” Paige asked.

“I didn’t think so until now. If it’s happened to the two of us…who knows right?” Kendra replied.

“Can you imagine that?” Paige asked.

“I don’t have to imagine it…haha…I lived it” Kendra replied scooting back so her back was up against the wall.

“So…um…yeah” Paige scratched at her long blonde hair and giggled nervously “It’s hard to know where to begin but, like I said, up until yesterday, I was 8. I was pretty tall for my age but nothing like this. I measured myself at 5’6” after this happened”

“Taller than me” Kendra said “I was only 5’5” at my full height but now I’m down to about 5’2” or 5’3”

“Well I was 4’3” so this was quite a jump for me but it was worse for my brother coming down; he went from like 5’10” down to like 4’ even” Paige said.

“Whoa” Kendra exclaimed.
