Cody Matthews had a terrible day at school. Cody Matthews and Chad Harper got into a fist fight. Chad had humiliated Cody for the last time. Cody couldn’t help it that his father left him before he was even born or the fact that Cody’s mom struggled with two jobs to make ends meet. Chad Harper had called Cody Matthews a bastard for the last time, but it was too bad Chad had his posse with him and Cody only managed a few good swings. Added to all that, Cody’s mom couldn’t come pick her injured son up from school because she wasn’t feeling too good, so it was up to Cody to pedal pass his pain to get home. One bright spot to his day was waiting by the twelve foot fence along the road, Lindsey Smith.
Lindsey did something she never dared do before; she stepped over the fence when she noticed Cody struggling with his bike. She didn’t wait on him either and took three long steps to him.
“What happened?” Lindsey looked down at Cody’s black eye.
“Chad and his boys beat the shit out of me,” Cody said, trying to manage a small but painful smile. Lindsey got down on her knee and held her hands out in front of the diminutive boy.
“You’re coming with me. I’m going to fix you up,” Lindsey said and Cody hesitated.
“Won’t you get in trouble? I’m not allowed in there,” Cody said as he looked down at Lindsey’s large but soft hands.
“Only if I get caught,” Lindsey said with a smile. Cody hid his bike somewhere along the side of the road and sat down on Lindsey’s soft hands. Cody giggled at his thought. “What’s so funny, Cody?”
“I was just thinking of something funny. Have you ever seen the movie King Kong?”
Lindsey smiled as she stood up. Cody looked down from his lofty position. “Are you saying that I’m a big ape?” Lindsey kidded with the small boy.
“You could never be an ugly ape to me, Linds. How would you like to be my girlfriend?” Cody said with a blush and the giantess blushed too.
“As long as you don’t refer to me as an ape,” Lindsey said with a shy smile and Chad returned that smile.

Steven James could put a stop to Lindsey, but he decided not to. Lindsey has been in a better mood since Cody Matthews has made his daily visits and Steve didn’t feel like ruining it for her. He didn’t see any harm in the boy visiting either. Cody had nice and calm thoughts for a human, especially a teenage human. Steve felt Cody’s pain in his thoughts today. The boy had been punched and kicked over and over by a group of other boys at his school because Cody stood up to them. Steve remembered his own childhood and the bullies. Steve shed a tear for the boy he had never met…

“You need to be quiet, Cody. We have way better than average hearing and if my Mom finds out I could be in a world of trouble,” Lindsey said as she walked through the trees.
“As a mouse,” Cody said with a smile and Lindsey laughed.
“I’m serious,” Lindsey said when she heard someone coming. “Damn! It’s Mr. James and I have no stinking pockets on the potato sack.”
“It’s okay, maybe he won’t notice,” Cody whispered.
“Lindsey Smith. What are you doing all the way out here? You might be seen,” The red-headed giant said. Lindsey started to shake nervously.
“N-N-Nothing, Mr. James,” Lindsey said with an innocent stare.
“Hmmmm, a boy. Where did you find him?” Steve said, looking down at the injured body of Cody Matthews. Steve softened his features when he heard Cody’s scared thoughts. Cody thought Steve was possibly the biggest person he had ever seen. He quaked in fear as Steve grabbed his bruised arm gently between his thumb and index finger. “He’s hurt,” Steve said softly. “Take him to my office, Lindsey. We’ll see what we can do.”
“A-A-Alright, Mr. James. You’re not going to tell my mom and dad about this, are you?” Lindsey said.
“We’ll talk about it later, Lindsey. Just do as you’re told, I’ll be there shortly. I need to go get Mrs. McAllister,” Steve said calmly as he patted Lindsey’s shoulder.
“O-O-Okay Mr. James,” Lindsey said with a nod. Lindsey held Cody carefully as she walked into the large building, hoping that Mrs. James wasn’t going to be at her desk, which she wasn’t. Lindsey sighed a sigh of relief but hoped that she wasn’t in any serious trouble for allowing an unauthorized human on Gaea House property.

Once inside the enormous room, Cody took in the sight. Everything was huge. Lindsey sat her injured boyfriend on the gigantic desk. Cody stood there for a moment taking in the sights of the office space. There were no pencils and paper on the clean desktop, just a large computer screen. A cluster of paintings hung on the wall of Greek and Norse goddesses. There wasn’t even a telephone, the office looked pretty sparse expect for with looked like a junk pile of cars in one corner of the room. Cody’s eyes widened when he realized that they weren’t toys, but actual cars strung around like a child’s playthings.
“Looks like Mr. James brought his son to work today. He must not have had any appointments,” Lindsey said and started picking up the cars and put them in a cabinet. She sat each car gingerly on the selves before closing the door shut. “Tommy always likes to leave his toys out. He’s not very good at following the rules.”
“Those are toys?” Cody asks, still in awe of the sight of his girlfriend picking up cars like they were nothing.
“Oh yeah, don’t worry, the mechanic here has taken out all the small part and chemicals. These are just shells,” Lindsey said casually. “But the little ones are not supposed to leave evidence like this.”
“Little ones? How many kids are there here?”
“Oh thirteen, no fourteen and another on the way according to Mr. James,” Lindsey said, realizing all the sudden that she is saying too much. “Look Cody, I can get into a lot of trouble if any one outside the fence finds out about us. We will never see each other again and you won’t remember me if Ms. Martin is called in. You understand?”
“You’re secrets are safe with me, Lindsey. I just didn’t know.”
“Nobody does and we need to keep it that way,” said another voice. There stood Steven James in the doorway with a gray haired woman on his shoulder.
“M-M-Mr. James. I-I-I…” Lindsey stumbled with her words.
“It’s quite all right, Lindsey. Mr. Matthews is no longer an outsider. The techs have just brought his mother in. Ms. Hayes is examining her right now,” Steve said, giving the teenage giantess a smile. “She has also filled out the special forms for you, Cody Matthews. I have to only ask you one question.”
“W-W-What?” Cody said, still frightened of the enormous giant.
“How would you like to become one of us?” Steve said in a warm and gentle tone. Steve dropped to his knees and Robin McAllister jumped off his broad shoulder. She had a medical bag with her that she put on the desk and pulled out a syringe with blue fluid.
“Y-Y-You mean a giant, sir?” Cody asked.
“Yes Cody, a giant. We’re going to let you finish out your week at school and then you shall live here with us as you grow into your new size. You will get to be with other giants, including Lindsey,” Steve said to the boy.
Cody thought about it, he had nothing to lose. His mom was poor and they’re house was falling apart. He had no real friends at school despite the fact Cody was considered one of the cute boys in his class. Chad Harper and his posse would never try to beat him up ever again. The pros outweighed the cons for Cody Matthews.
“Yes, I want to be a giant,” Cody said softly.
“This will only hurt for a minute,” The kindly gray haired lady said as she prepped Cody’s arm. “My name is Robin McAllister by the way. I am a friend to these extraordinary people. If you ever need anything small done, I’m your person to call.”
“Cody Matthews,” Cody said as he felt the sting of the needle and then a strange tingling and then hunger.
“Drink this,” Robin said as she handed Cody a shake. “You will drink this up to three times a day. It’ll help with the hunger. If you don’t drink this, you will be hungry all the time. Do you feel like eating?”
“Yes, even after that,” Cody said.
“That’s normal. The serum is working its way through your system. I’ll have Lindsey take you to the cafeteria. You can eat as much as you want,” Robin said as she watched the bruises fade and the cuts close. “You’ll feel much better after you eat, son.”
“I’ve sent a tech out to your house to get you some belongings, Cody. You won’t need much, just enough to finish your week at school. If anything feels too small to wear, I have another tech buying you shoes and other necessities. You are staying on our campus here on out,” Steve said and Cody nodded.

Cody felt better after he had eaten the most food he has ever eaten in one sitting in his life. Lindsey joked about how heavy he felt afterwards. Cody and Lindsey laughed. She took him to his dorm where he found all his clothes and then some. Cody laughed when he saw a size twenty-four sneaker. The kitchen was stocked full too, shakes and various other food items for his consumption. He only had four more days of school left and he was already feeling like big man on campus.
Cody woke up the next day and went to the bathroom, he looked in the mirror and noticed his bruises were nearly gone and a few pimples went away. He stood straight, but he didn’t notice any difference other than that he felt strangely energetic and extremely hungry.
Cody made his breakfast which was something he had always done for himself but today he made double proportions of everything and still felt hungry afterwards, then he remembered the shake and drank that until his hunger went away. He packed his lunch and put two more shakes in his backpack. Then he thought that he better put them in a thermos. Taking something that said Gaea Products all over it wasn’t such a good idea. Then he went to get dressed. Everything seemed to fit a little smaller but it still fit except for Cody’s shoes. He grabbed a size bigger and they comfortably fit. Cody didn’t think anything of it because he didn’t notice a difference.
His bicycle and his giantess waited for him outside the dorm. Lindsey smiled down at her little man. She wanted to make sure he was going to be okay. She picked him up and kissed his head. Lindsey wore cherry flavored lip gloss, a whole tube. She gently wiped off her handy work and put the small boy down. Lindsey couldn’t wait until her first real kiss and she knew who she wanted to have that kiss with, Cody Matthews.

Cody felt weird walking into Spartan Falls Junior High School. Girls seemed to stare at him more than normal and the jocks seemed to turn the other way. The kids of Spartan Falls Junior High sensed something was different about Cody Matthews.
“Matthews!” A familiar voice shouted. Cody turned around and there was Chad Harper, school bully. Chad was always bigger than Cody and stronger too. Cody turned around and looked up at Chad Harper, but today Chad seemed a little smaller than yesterday despite that he was still taller than Cody. “What the fuck are you looking at, you little piss ant?” Chad then said and walked away. Chad still wanted to fight Cody again. Cody had given him a nice bruise on his chin and Cody knew that there was a price to pay for that…

The last day went pretty much the same for Cody. He couldn’t believe the amount of food he was eating and none of it was cheeseburgers and pizza. Cody had lost his taste for meat but he could still pack it in. He noticed his body seemed to be thinning out a bit and he needed a new pair of shoes again.
Today Cody noticed the shelf in his locker seemed lower and everything felt smaller. Miranda Harris gawked at him during first period. Cody felt a new confidence that he never had before and then he hears...
“Matthews! After school behind the gym! We have a score to settle,” said that jerk Harper. Cody was just sitting at his desk, minding his own business and this shithead had to interrupt his peace. “If you don’t come, I’ll hunt you down!” Cody just ignored him.
Cody went out behind the gym after the final bell rang; he sat on a picnic table waiting for his punishment. Cody knew that he could take a beating as long as the serum was in his system, but what Cody hadn’t realized was that the serum had did its job, everything was now Cody’s new body.
Matthews! You little bastard! Come take your punishment like a man!” Chad Harper said. Chad Harper was the tallest and strongest boy in Cody’s class. All the kids feared Chad Harper. Cody did as Chad said. You didn’t defy Chad Harper in any way; Chad would get you sooner or later.
Cody walked up to Chad and Chad’s eyes widened. Yesterday Cody had to look up to Chad but today the tables were turned. “What the fuck?” Chad said as Cody stood only inches away from him. Chad looked down at Cody’s feet and noticed that he was only wearing simple Chuck Taylors. Chad had on a pair of Nikes. Cody straightened his back, giving him a few more inches of height. Chad felt small all the sudden. “You’ve been taking steroids, Matthews?” Chad finally said. Cody just smirked. “Oh well, the bigger they are, the harder they fall,” Chad said and jumped at Cody with all he had, Cody barely felt it and laughed. Chad stood back for a moment. “What the fuck?” Chad said breathlessly and Cody laughed.
“Are you done yet? I really need to get home, Chad. I really don’t have time for this,” Cody said in a sarcastic way and laughed.
“I don’t know what happened to you this week, but I’m going to find out,” Chad said, humiliated.
“I just had a growth spurt. I can’t help it if I passed you up, little man,” Cody said and Chad huffed. Chad felt defeated but he then decided to take a sucker punch at Cody’s stomach and Cody caught his fist. “Leave me alone Chad. This is the last fight you’ll have with me,” Cody said as he squeezed Chad’s fist, Chad yelped. “I didn’t break anything you baby, but I can if I want to. It’s a good thing your posse isn’t here to witness this or otherwise you won’t be able to step foot in school again. Leave me alone. You won’t have to see me after today, you got it?” Cody said and Chad nodded. Cody let go of Chad’s fist and watched the pathetic little boy stumble away. Cody was happy to have finally won a battle against Chad Harper.
