"Edogawa Conan, come forward please. here.ah.exactly 100 centimeters. next. let's see. Haibara Ai. 108 centimeters. Next." The PE teacher said in a monotonous tone.
Another height and weight check up day. Conan thought. He hated those days, even in his real childhood, since he's usually the lightest and shortest one in class. 100 centimeters? B-but. Last month I checked I was. A thought rushed through his mind. and Haibara's, 108centimeters, only? How's that possible?
He had expected to be short, but he'd never prepared for this kind of the situation. He went to the teacher, and asked respectively.
"Sumimasen, sensei, but are you sure I'm only 100 centimeters tall?" His round face with a glasses covering up his true identity, blushed slightly as some students glanced at him with an expression of "you-are-only-that- tall?"
The teacher checked the pile of paper in his hands again, turned to him and smiled, "Yes, Edogawa-kun right? Don't worry, children like you grow really fast!"
"Oh.thank you." Conan swallowed, trying to persuade his brain into accepting the truth. Two words popped up in his mind, making him shudder slightly. Though much has happened in the past year, and most of them he could never imagine of in his dreams had become reality, but those two words weren't on that list.
Oh God. What if they are true? What's going on? While confusion puzzled him, Haibara walked by and whispered to him as she slowed down. "Quit that look, a detective like you shouldn't be giving away that much of his emotions. Meet me at Agasa's after school, we've got to discuss."
Conan blinked at Haibara's quick but meaningful speech, before his brain could react, words jumped out of his mouth automatically, "sure."
The day seemed much longer than usual. To Conan, it almost seems impossible for the boring school day to end. But when it did, he wasn't sure whether he's ready for the" discussion" with Haibara or not. Whatever it was going to be, he knew, it wasn't going to be good news.
The school bell rang with explosive kids cheering, as each classroom door swung open and kids anxiously burst out, running through the hall and headed straight home or the playground. Conan, already mature, knew he really shouldn't run with the kids.
Walking at a steady pace with his heavier than usual backpack behind him, it was as if all his stress had been packed inside it. The sun moved behinds the mountains, clouds flew high overhead, a gentle breeze swayed through his hair and brushed against his round cheeks.
With infinite amount of questions in his mind and preparing for the up coming event, he went on and on. His shadow abruptly faded away at the corner of the street.
Not even realizing that he was doing it, his lips kept on muttering two words, the same words that his mind had flashed earlier.
"I shrunk."
