Oh I'm running late? Some extra height will add few extra inches on my stride.
This shirt is so cute, but is a little too small... no ones going to notice if I lost a couple inches, right?
Foods really good at a restaurant? Yeah I'll take that to go (proceeds to go home and shrink so they can eat a far bigger portion)
Bonus points if their friends are all really suspicious but just keep gaslighting themselves because it's just so ... odd? Sure they must be mistaken.
Finally someone in the friend group is like, "Has Jake always been that short?" And another friend just stares and them and goes "short?? No?? Jake's taller than me?"
They all squabble, confused that everyone has surprisingly different takes on Jake's height.
They all try to size their friend up without being obvious, with whoever is right being absolutely smug.
The next day, they notice he is a totally different height.
They all have different theories, shoe inserts, posture etc... with one friend cracking a half serious joke like,
"I dunno man, what if he can.. like change his size." They all kind of run with the bit, though none of them take it too seriously.
They go out to dinner and Jake (I'm just gonna keep that name) Takes a fairly large portion home as usually. After dropping him off, one of the friends realizes Jake forgot his wallet and turns around to drop it off, not bothering to knock as he opens the door.
Jake stands there on the table, all 8 inches of him, in total shock. How was he going to explain it? Was his friend going to panic? Would they-
" I FUCKING KNEW IT!"
Their friend stands there, smug and excited, ripping their phone out of their pocket to immediately call the group.
"I WAS RIGHT!! That MOTHER FUCKER IS THE SIZE OF A KEN DOLL- No I'm not high! Dude- just -"
Jake's panicking, hopping off the table and growing to snag the phone from his friend and hold it above his head.
He worries briefly that his friend might panic, but he heres them laughing almost maniacally.
"DUUDE!"
Jake ignores their giddy excitement and addresses the phone,
"Ignore him he's just-"
He hears gasping on the phone, followed by excited jeering.
It was a video call.
