You sighed as you shut your locker, ready for another day to come to an end. Unfortunately, it was still around noon, and it was another few hours before you could go home and relax for the weekend. You had plans and goals this weekend that you were eager to get home to. But for now, you had a free period before your next class that you could at least enjoy.
Strolling down the hall, you looked around for an empty room to relax in. Students had already gone to their next periods for the most part, but looking at one of the empty art rooms, you shrugged. It’d probably be fine to be in there for a bit. Pushing the door open, you stepped in and-
Crash!
“Ow!” You yelped as a bucket of dust fell onto you. Falling onto the floor, you coughed and sneezed the stuff as it sparkled over you. Pushing the small bucket off your head and brushing your shoulders, you grumbled several unpleasant words as you sighed.
Of course you’d be the victim of some dumb prank. Shutting the door and noticing a sink, you walked over to get a wet rag to wipe this dust or glitter… whatever it was, off of you.
But as you approached, it felt like it was taking while longer to get there than it should have when you started. Picking up the pace, it… didn’t get you there any closer.
In fact… it only seemed to get more and more distant!
No, wait. It wasn’t getting futher… Glancing down at yourself, you yelped in shock as you saw the problem. The sink wasn’t farther away, YOU were getting smaller!
Panicking as you tried to scamper back to the closed door, you found the dust vanishing from you and your clothes as you continued to shrink down further and further!
“No! No wait, help! Someone!” You tried to call, but you shrinking smaller meant your voice wasn’t carrying as far! And you had already shrunk below a foot high! You were almost scared of shrinking down into nothing! But soon you felt the world’s growth slow and slow. Your height reduced to a measly two inches by the time you felt it stop completely.
“What the hell happened…?” You sighed, confused as to how whatever had been in that bucket could just shrink a person down this much.
You perked up as you heard footsteps approach the room! Yes! Maybe you could get out of here and get some help!
“You think he’s in here?” A voice asked, giggling eagerly as the door pushed open a short distance. A storm of giggles erupted from the other side.
“Yep! Bucket’s not there!” Another voice snickered, “He’s probably all teeny tiny for us now!” Those words gave you pause. They… KNEW about that shrinking dust or whatever it was? And did this on purpose?!
Hiding behind a desk nervously as the door creaked open, you saw four sets of legs walk in. All schoolgirls.
“Senpai” You heard a voice tease, “Where are you tiny Senpai…” She giggled as the four giant girls separated. Had they been stalking… YOU? Or had they mistaken you for somebody else? Maybe if you got their attention, and you weren’t who they had intended this sick idea of a prank to affect, could they… help you?
Sneaking around the desk leg as a giant blonde girl looked around, you winced at how close that foot was to you.
“You sure that stuff is safe?” Another voice asked, “What if we accidentally squish him?”
“That dust should have made him all squishy and malleable.” One of the earlier voices pointed out, “We can do whatever we want to him and he’ll be fine!” She giggled.
Okay. Yep. That did NOT sound good. Looking toward the still-open door. You look at the gaggle of feet turned away from it. Maybe you could get into the hall and find someone a bit more… helpful than these four girls who had clearly shrunk someone with the intent to… tease or bully them.
