![]() Cut to a precise 433 days later, Lexi’s physical transformation isn’t the exact chest growth she was hoping for, but insists that she’d rather not be known for her body anyway. ![]() Lexi wants to be informed, smart, hardworking, and curious, but also hot. When Cassie hits puberty, Lexi sees how objectively hot Cassie’s gotten, so she does the math down to the precise day until she should theoretically be just as hot.
