"Slow fires will smolder for a long time." ~ Thai Proverbs
David's prov.
The next day I was another 2 inches taller, even bulkier and my muscles were a lot more defined and there was even more muscle now. My senses were also in overdrive as I could year my mother and sister talking in the kitchen., I also didn’t need my glasses anymore, I never even noticed my eyes were a blueish silver color. I don't know what was going on, but I wasn't complaining. I just hoped it was lasting. Whatever gave my DNA a Kick-start I was loving it. To sum it all up I was currently 6foot1, 20 pounds heavier and all of that is muscle, even my jaw is a little squarer, I am ecstatic. Best part I don’t need my glasses either. I stood looking at myself in the mirror, I don't think I've been able to look at myself in the mirror ever, I usually just glanced, felt ashamed of myself and walk of again. Now I was looking, really looking and without shame.
I went down for breakfast and my mom and my Sister was staring at me like I was some mutant.
“What’s going on David, since when can somebody grow so much muscle and height in two days. Did you take some growth hormone on something at these experimental clinic’s. They can kill you, you know that right”?
My mom looked worried, but it also looked like she was hiding something. She kept looking down as she spoke to me.
“Jesus mom no, are you crazy. I am shocked myself , I don't know what’s happening, maybe I’m just a late bloomer or something. I swear I haven't taken anything, you know I wont”.
“Maybe but I still want you to go and see Dr Anderson and the hospital today, please. Just for my sake, please, it could be your hormones, or it could be something a lot more serious”

“Yeah okay I’ll be there after school today." I honestly wasn't planning on going, i just wanted to get my mom of my back, I wanted to come home after-school and hit the internet and see if I could find something that explains what's happening to me.
I take a closer look at Isla and she looks a little worn out and she looks kind of pale and clammy, she gets up from the breakfast table, and just as suddenly faints, I run as fast as I can and I make it to her just in time to catch her from falling on the floor. I carry her up to her bedroom and I put her on her bed. She feels hot to the touch. My mom takes her temperature. “She is a little high, I’ll go get her some water, you should go to school”
She opens her eyes and look at me, her eyes seems like it’s changing, probably just play of light.
“Jesus Isla what the hell, what’s wrong”
“I just felt a little lightheaded, Davey”
“Well you don’t feel that light anymore, I say jokingly. You do look a little more muscular”
“Shut your big fat mouth, asshole”
“I have to get to school, want me to wait for you, sus”
“no, its fine, go ahead I’ll go with mom or maybe I’ll just take the day off, probably just the weekend stress, now catching up with me.”
I felt Isla's head and she felt hotter than she did a moment ago, I was feeling worried, but I had to go to School I wanted to try and graduate early.
