“I feel...Weird,” you said to yourself, patting your bloated belly. “Crap...My jeans. What am I going to do about these? Mom’s going to kill me…”
You half wished that you could repair them yourself, but you didn’t know anything about sewing. Plus, that wouldn’t fix the problem you were having in regard to your waistline. Now that the rush was wearing off, you were certainly starting to feel a little heavier. A quick pat down of your torso confirmed that you were indeed getting a little bigger. Over ten pounds heavier than you were just an hour ago.
But, of course, you were more distracted by the fact that you had ruined your clothes. These weren’t cheap and your mom often gave you an earful if you ever wrecked on how much they cost. The thought occurred that the pants needed to disappear.
