The lecturer's voice was a steady drone in the background as Claire stared intently at the webpage on her laptop. Miracle Grow! Female growth hormone treatment. Become a sexier, more feminine you. Noticeable improvements overnight! Do it yourself from home today! The improbable taglines were accompanied by a single photo of a beautiful, young and ridiculously large breasted blonde in a low cut top.
Claire wasn't stupid enough to be convinced by this. She'd seen many sites like it and knew well that almost all of them were scams. The fact was, she was desperate.
As a teenager, Claire had developed rather late - a source of great embarrassment and anxiety for her. She was 16 before her small breasts had grown enough to fill a B cup and her plain, childlike body had remained relatively unchanged since then. Now eighteen, Claire had long since given up on 'filling out' any further.
She'd visited a doctor once a while back to see if anything could be done. He'd told her that her slightly underdeveloped body was a result of a hormone imbalance and had prescribed her a dose of progesterone that only succeeded in giving her a bout of acne and mood swings. After that he'd said the only other option was surgery, but Claire was a broke student and besides, a pair of fake tits would look ludicrous on her childlike frame. She needed a whole body transformation and she clung to the hope that a hormone treatment existed that could turn her into the woman she wanted to be.
So ever since starting university that year, surrounded by attractive young women at the height of their femininity, Claire had begun to search for such a hormone treatment, scouring forums and reading recommendations on various sites. She'd now tried more than ten different supplements, all promising the same miracle effects but only managing to give her various manifestations of the side effects listed on the warning labels: increased libido, tender breasts, interrupted periods etc.
It was frustrating, and she felt like a human guinea pig; and yet it had become like an addiction for her. There was something exciting about popping pills and pumping herself full of oestrogen and progesterone, always seeking to transform into some kind of fertility goddess. She was miserable in her own skin and the hope of finally becoming a 'real' woman was an obsession for her.
Now, scouring the webpage in front of her, seated at the back of the lecture theatre so as to remain discreet, she felt that familiar feeling of excitement mixed with skepticism. She looked again at the photo of the woman. 'Kitty Brookes - founder' read the caption. Kitty's huge breasts looked fit to burst out of her top and her smoulderingly sexy expression filled Claire with desire and envy. And decisiveness. She whipped out her credit card and ordered the starter kit before shutting her laptop with a loud snap.
She suddenly realised the room had gone quiet. The lecturer was looking up at her with a mocking quizzical look on his face, while half the lecture theatre turned to stare at her. Claire blushed and muttered an apology. Then, unable to bear the embarrassment, she fled from the hall with her things.
*****
Claire dived into the M-block bathroom and stood in front of the mirror. She was flushed around her neck, as she tended to be whenever she felt embarrassed or socially awkward, which was often. She slowly tried to control her breathing while examining herself sadly.
She had a pretty, angular face with big brown eyes and freckles. Her dark brown hair was straight and hung over one side of her face. Below her fine neckline, her small body was obscured by a thick fur lined windbreaker. Her skinny legs protruded from beneath a short black skirt, giving her a waif-ish look.
Claire sighed to herself, though inwardly glad this 'mirror session' didn't remind her of the rest of her hopelessly immature looking body with its small mounds of breasts and narrow hips. She felt the urge to cry at the thought but then remembered the Miracle Grow, set to arrive in just a couple of days. Maybe this was the one she'd been waiting for? It gave her a thread of comfort at least.
Just then the door opened and two girls came in, laughing. One Claire recognised as Xanthe, a curvy brunette who seemed to effortlessly ooze sex appeal. The other was a cute blonde with pouty lips and her hair in a clip. The pair were dressed in tight gym clothes, their firm asses and large tits tightly crammed into yoga pants and sports bras. Claire blushed with her combined humiliation and lust.
'Hi there sweetie!' Xanthe said patronisingly, coming up behind Claire at the mirror and grabbing her small ass in her hands. She gasped exaggeratedly. 'Your butt's so little and flat! How's any guy gonna notice you, let alone get his cock inside you!'. Both girls laughed.
Claire blushed intensely as Xanthe leaned towards the mirror, showing off her beautiful round tits and sticking out her plump rear. She made a kissy face at herself and applied more lipstick. The other girl was similarly occupied with her makeup, so Claire brushed hurriedly past them and left, feeling deflated and humiliated beyond even her own experience. She rushed home to cry.
