T.A., The

Julie was the definition of a great student, but she was also a somewhat popular girl. Probably because there was literally no one better at chemistry than her (the exception was Professor Watley), therefore kids that would struggle with chemistry would seek her assistance, plus she wasn’t half bad looking for a brainiac (even though she didn’t think so).

Brooke on the other hand was a stellar athlete and simply drop dead gorgeous, 6’2”, shoulder length brown hair with light streaks, perfect facial features with big brown eyes, a killer smile, nice full lips and a great body to match. She was only a freshman but had the attention of all the boys on campus. Brooke was an ok student and tried to stay NCAA eligible for volleyball. She was basically the only reason why all the guys would go see her play whenever there was a home game.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. “What time is it? Julie asking as her alarm wakes her early Monday morning.

First day of the second semester at school, and Julie couldn’t wait to get to chemistry. She found out thru a friend that Steve Rogers was going to be in her class.

Julie really liked Steve and actually she thought she had a shot this semester because Steve dumped his girlfriend over break. Plus Steve was always friendly to Julie so it wasn’t unreasonable that she would think that way.

Fifteen minutes before class

“Good morning Professor Watley”.

“Good morning Julie, are you ready for another great semester as my best teacher assistant ever?”

“Professor if you only knew”.

Five minutes before class starts and in walks Steve.

“Hey Steve, I didn’t know you were in this class”. Said Julie in a playful sort of way.

“Yeah I gotta take this to graduate, and I’m not looking forward to it at all.” Just then he thought, “Hey, maybe you can help me, if it wouldn’t be too much to ask?

YESSSSS she thought, finally I have the in I’ve hoped for!!!!!!!!!

“Sure I’d love to”. Trying to be as flirtatious as possible.

“Great, I’ll talk to ya more about it after class.” Steve replied and took his seat.

Julie went back to the front of the lab to help Professor Watley get ready for the days lesson.

As soon as she finished she turned to give Steve a smile, but much to her chagrin he was talking with Brooke who decided to sit next to Steve, which pretty much guaranteed she would be his lab partner.

But Julie feared Brooke wanted Steve to be more than her lab partner.

The whole period Brooke had Steve eating out of her hand, and this made Julie furious.

Towards the end of class she overheard Brooke giving Steve her phone number, so Julie decided to write it down as well, after all she had to come up with something to stop her.

Julie definitely had to do something; Steve walked out of class with Brooke and totally ignored her on the way out forgetting about how they were supposed to talk after class.

“Hey Professor, what’s that your working on?” asked Julie as she looked at a blue liquid in a vile, and the Professor adding another formula to about the 35th page of notes.

“It’s a formula I’ve been working on, and it’s almost complete”.

“What exactly does it do?” asked Julie.

“As it is nothing but when mixed with this (holding up a clear liquid vile) it produces a tremendous amount of gas”.

So he poured just a tiny bit of each into a balloon and tied the end. In about a minute’s time the balloon was filled with gas and there was no liquid left in the balloon.

“Cool” replied Julie, as a very interesting thought entered her mind.

“Well Professor, I’m gonna clean up before your next class comes in at eleven”.

“OK Julie, I’ll be in my office if anyone needs me.”

“OK Professor, see ya later.”

As Julie cleaned up she noticed a purse that was left behind.

She opened it and checked for a driver’s license, and it just so happened to be her new arch enemy; Brooke Myers. So she put it under the Professor’s desk until after the 11 am lab where she was free for the rest of the day.

As she sat thru the 11am lab all she could think of was giving that formula to Brooke, so she would no longer be a threat, and she could pursue Steve without interference.

The only thing stopping her was the thought of it somehow poisoning her and killing her, after all no man was worth killing someone over.

Screw it she said to herself, I’m doing it.

With that she took 2 large vials of both compounds and headed home.

At Julie’s house (a modest home off campus which her Grandma left her)

On the phone

“Hello may I speak to Brooke?” asked Julie.

“This is Brooke.”

“Hi, this is Julie the TA in your chemistry lab with Professor Watley.”

“Oh hi, how are you?”

“I’m good, I just called to tell you left your purse behind today, and if you want you can come over to get it.”

“Sure, but I need to ask, where did you get my number?”

Thinking on her toes Julie replied; “I asked my friend Steve for it.”

“Oh, Ok where abouts do you live?”

Julie gave her directions, it wasn’t hard to find because it was the only house on the street.

Brooke arrives at Julie’s

“Hey Brooke, God what took you so long?” asked Julie.

“I jogged over here, I don’t have a car and my roommate is at her boyfriend’s apartment.”

“Oh, come in let me get your purse.”

“Thanks a lot, I can’t believe I forgot it.”

“Hey shit happens, you know. Go downstairs and make yourself comfortable.”

Brooke went down to what was a semi fixed up basement. Half was carpeted with a couch, a fridge, and a TV, and the other half was just concrete and open.

Julie asked, “Brooke would you like something to drink?” noticing she was sweaty and a little winded.

“Yes please, I’m dying of thirst.”

Perfect thought Julie as she poured the vials into glasses.

Julie walked downstairs and acted as though one drink was for her and the other for Brooke.

“Here ya go.” As she handed Brooke the blue one.

Brooke guzzled down the whole glass in about 5 seconds.

“Wow you really were thirsty.” Said Julie in a sarcastic manner.

Just then, Brooke reached for her throat as she started to gag.

Brooke pointed toward the other drink and muttered, “Water, I’m ch ch choking.”

Julie handed Brooke the other glass, and she slammed that in about 8 seconds flat.

“Whew, that was a close one.” Said Brooke as she caught her breath.

“Are you ok now?” asked Julie more curious than concerned.

“Yeah I’m….fine.” as she felt a very strange tingling sensation all over her body.

“I don’t know you don’t look so good.” Said Julie with a very sinister smirk.

Brooke moaned in discomfort; “I feel really weird all of a sudden. I feel very full.”

Really, thought Julie, as she knew what was happening to her beautiful nemesis.

“What the….” Brooke heard an audible hissing noise, but to her utter fright it was coming from her!!!

Julie looked at Brooke in amazement, her once flat stomach started to bulge slightly outward, than not so slightly as she looked about 4 months pregnant.

“What’s happening?!?” asked Brooke in panic as her breasts began to expand to the size of very ripe melons.

Julie was more than happy to explain. “Since you asked, I gave you a mixture of 2 chemicals which in turn produce gas.”

Brooke looked at her both confused and angry, and asked “Why?”

“Because you were trying to ruin any chance I had with Steve, that’s why! So just be quiet before I pop you myself!”

By this time Brooke was getting huge, unable to keep her arms at her side they popped straight out as they to join in the inflation becoming soft cones, as did her ever-expanding thighs. Than the tracksuit she was wearing literally exploded off her.

“Help, help, please someone help me!!” screamed Brooke desperate for someone to hear her cries.

Julie chuckling; “No ones gonna hear you, this is the only house on the street, and besides that this house is very well insulated.”

Now Brooke was really feeling it as she was becoming more rounded. Her immense body was overtaking her limbs, just as she felt she would burst, the hissing started to slow and then stopped.

Totally unable to move what Brooke had become was nothing more than a huge balloon girl. Her body reached its max capacity expanding out to her wrists and ankles.

“What have you done to me?” asked Brooke as cried knowing that she was an enormous blimp at the mercy of some deranged TA.
