The Boy Next to Me

24

I noticed that Patrick seemed to have grown a little recently.

I asked him to stand in line with Simeon, and Simeon's height was still in line with Patrick's eyebrows.

"That's weird. It hasn't changed."

Patrick dragged me to the door frame.

"Oh my goodness! You two secretly grew 1.6 inches behind my back!"

"The knowledge of relative motion is not solid!"

Patrick gloated.

However, I wondered why they all look so much taller than me.

I didn't believe myself so I went to measure my height. I only grew 0.4 inches.

"Did Mom secretly let you two eat more and didn't invite me?"

I stared at Patrick fiercely, but he spread his hands innocently.

"Then why did you two grow so much while I'm the only one who grows so little?"

Patrick sized me up twice while in deep thought.

Finally, his gaze fell on the indescribable part of my body.
