Everyone was shocked, the room was dead with silence, and everyone looked at Binky blankly particularly his chest which was forcing his shirt to ride up e at the midsection.
Fern was shocked she walked backward nervously to join her friends.
Buster and George held their stomachs and threw up.
Muffy quickly calmed herself, "No fair, how come we don't get those yet?"
Mr. Ratburn had remained calm, and he tried to calm the class down, which he did with some trouble, he first had taken Binky, Buster and George to the nurse, and everyone back to class.
When they got there, Mr. Ratburn had difficulty trying to explain what just happened; he looked like he was going to cry. He had seen a lot of different things in his life, and Binky who grew breasts was one of those strange things he would rather not think about.
He needed to compose himself, Muffy asked the question again, "How come he got those before us, I thought woman get them?"
"Muffy…" Mr. Ratburn sighed as he thought he had seen a ghost, he turned to the class, "Class feel free to go to the library; or outside," and he looked at Muffy, "I will try and explain to you in private, you obviously are very mature."
The class had left to go outside, while Muffy stayed.
"Ok, normally it happens when a girl goes through puberty, Binky's case isn't normal, he is having a deeper voice, I am noticing that he is growing facial hair…" he paused, "And well… grew breasts."
"So why is he?"
"My best educated guess is because of a severe hormone imbalance, I been hearing the kids talk about going through puberty."
"Are they?"
Mr. Ratburn walked towards the door, down the hall and opened the front door of the school, "Arthur, Sue Ellen, Fern, can I see you three in my classroom?" Mr. Ratburn continued to get Buster and George, "Buster, George, can I see you both in my classroom as well?"
They were all in the classroom, "It has been brought to my attention that you three boys claimed to have been going through puberty."
Buster defended his stance, "We are! We are bleeding out of our butts!"
"You have the stomach virus that has been going around, so you aren't going through puberty."
"YOU LIED!" Muffy yelled.
Arthur sighed, "I lied to them as well, and I said I did, but I didn't get the stomach virus."
Fern looked at George, "I am sorry, perhaps later we can play some more DDR."
Sue Ellen looked at Arthur, "DDR was fun, let's do it again some time."
Muffy looked at Fern and Sue Ellen, "Aren't you mad?"
"No, we know they lied, but we realized how much we both liked DDR."
Buster sighed, "If we aren't going through puberty, how come Binky has a deeper voice, growing facial hair and boobs?"
That definitely put the teacher on the spot, he was hoping Buster wouldn't ask that, but knowing Buster, he was a simpleton, "Muffy can explain that."
"I am not talking to him!"
Mr. Ratburn sighed, explaining it to Muffy was hard, but explaining it to Buster would be even harder. Ratburn had knew that Buster was immature and he knew as later in life, when Buster would be in the eighth grade the rabbit boy would probably laugh as they would probably talk more and more about sex-ed; he figured he would whisper 'oh my god teacher said that word'
"Buster, the reason Binky… sort of jumpstarted puberty was because he figured you three were going through it as he hadn't suffered from the stomach virus, he knew that if he wasn't going to go through it, then he would need to do something desperate, I know he overdosed on the hormones because it shows."
Buster didn't understand, "That doesn't answer why!"
"These hormones, jumpstarted his puberty because he had taken so many pills, that his body was physically changing so quickly over the past few days. So basically he has experienced puberty because of it."
Buster sort of got it, "So, since Binky has a deeper voice, growing facial hair and boobs, it is because he took these hormone things and days after physical changes started appearing on his body?"
"Yea…"
"Is there a way or a treatment?"
"There is, but some changes will be irreversible. I think what happened was he had a huge boost of male hormones, since male and females carry both types, I am thinking his body literally freaked out and started producing female hormones to keep the balance."
