Chapter 5

“We don’t know!” Jessica finally spoke up, screaming, trembling, her belly bouncing up and down as her hands went to try to steady it. It blew up even more, her breasts included. She was officially chubby now and if she didn’t stop growing she’d soon be officially fat.

“Jessica, get a hold of yourself,” Emma said calmly, “We’re looking for the guy who did this.”

“Okay,” Raven said simply and stood up, suffocating her the extremely tight corset, “Let’s go. What do we do with her?” she motioned to Briana.

“We’re kind of in a hurry here,” Jessica urged them. Emma scowled at her, but then thought about it.

“How many people were through here?” Emma asked Raven.

“A whole bunch just came down a few minutes ago.”

“I can’t be like this anymore!” Jessica screamed, crying hysterically now, trying to clutch at her hair but knowing what would happen to the rest of her if she did. Julie now tried to calm her, but Jessica was freaking out like Angela did.

“Jessica, calm down, we’re going to fix this,” Julie spoke up, softly.

“Shut up! Shut up! I don’t wanna be fat! I can’t be!” Jessica screamed and fell to the ground, scuttling to the side of the staircase, shivering, but not touching herself, “This isn’t me, this isn’t my body . . .”

“Yes it is,” Emma said, demanding and calm, “Now you help Briana up in our room and stay put. The three of us will handle this.”

“Handle this!?” Jessica was shouting again, motioning to the mound of fat half covered by her coat.

“Just do it, okay?”

Emma said this in such an authoritarian tone that Jessica complied, helping the recently athletic Briana, who was still in a daze, up the stairs and down the hall.

“Okay, what are we doing then?” Raven asked. She looked like she couldn’t breath.

“First, I guess we go into town and try to find the guy.”

“Looking like this?” Julie brought up again, but nobody responded.

“Er, first, could you two, um, untie me?” Raven had reached behind her and tried to untie the corset but her stomach pressed out even further and she started to acquire love handles to add to the accentuated belly. Emma loosened the straps and Raven breathed easy until she looked down and saw her massive cleavage. Apparently more fat had gone to her breasts than she thought. But her bulging midsection still dominated her otherwise willowy frame.

So the three girls left the dormitory and headed for the town square, moving as quickly as they could. Raven shuddered when she felt her belly jiggling for the first time but seemed to get use to it pretty quickly. Julie was hunched over to hide her smoothly round, plump stomach and enlarged breasts but her chubby face and bloated ass were too visible for her tastes. Emma waddled, swaying her hips to and fro, getting out of breath before the others. The way the fat on her belly, thighs, hips, and ass were more like large lumps moving independently of each other made moving difficult. She couldn’t repress a groan followed by a loud belch at her condition.

“Apparently this . . . thing . . . is traveling by touch,” Emma reasoned.

“How do you figure?” Raven asked, trying to adjust the elastic band of her skirt without touching herself as they walked. Even it was digging into her waist a little.

“Well, the old guy did it to Julie, then I touched her and I started to, er, get . . . bigger. Then Briana poked me and look at her, Angela too. And I guess Jessica got it from Briana. And didn’t you say you saw a whole group of girls from our dorm come down the stairs?”

“Yeah, they were heading to the cafeteria. Oh my god, are you thinking--?”

“Did they bump into you, or her?” Emma asked intently.

“Probably. I think. Errrr, this is getting bad, isn’t it?”

“It isn’t bad already?” Julie put in, shyly.
