Paul was too busy giggling like a school girl to realize that Ms. Velmont was royally pissed at him for what he did.  So suddenly feeling a lot of outward pressure in his hand he glanced over realizing she was puffing up like a balloon in his grasp.  Even with his enhanced strength she freed herself and laid into him in a way she never had before.  Sure he had goofed off in her class more than once and gotten an ear full for it.  This one was different though, it was the kind of one his mom would give him when he did something REALLY stupid.

“But I...”  He tried to say before she cut him off.

“Well no but I me...”  Again Paul couldn't get it out in time.

“But...”  Ms. Velmont was easily not going to let him say it.

As she went back to normal, standing on his open palm and chewing him out he kept suddenly growing smaller and smaller with each point of the finger, and accusing tone she hurled at him with force.  Getting yelled at like this in front of the others was leaving him blood red in the face from embarrassment and shame.  Shrinking more and more until he was basically ankle high to her.  He knew everyone was looking at him after that, and shrinking more to a very small height he just quickly got out of the room, seemingly beating Ms. Velmont out as he was running full speed.  Somehow his speed even small was matching his normal running speed which he would of noticed if he wasn't feeling so humiliated.  His face was hot, and he did have a tear going down his face.  

He slipped into one of the bedrooms, where he stayed small for a while, just taking a seat against one of the posts of the bed against the floor as he peeled off the mask and threw it as it grew back to normal before hitting the ground.  As much as he wanted to get mad at her for yelling at him like that for something he didn't mean to do.  Plus honestly he was pretty sure if her brain wasn't elastic that would make slipping into thin spaces technically possible.  Still he knew she was right, he was being stupid, and if he was going to do this like he knew he wanted too he had to pay attention.  He sighed, clunking his head against the wood he leaned on as he just tried to relax.
