chapter 5 - year two part 1

The new school year began two weeks after Chloe's anniversary. Her first order of business was to mend fences with Lisa. Chloe offered to give her a ride to school and opened the conversation with an apology.

"Lisa, I'm sorry for storming out on you. I just freaked out and felt like I needed to do something differently. I was so distraught about my weight at that time. I hope you will forgive me".

"Of course I do. Gaining weight can really mess with your head, especially when you have standards like yours. Besides, I remember feeling similarly at one point, right up til my 'Let it Go' moment. How are you feeling about things now?

"Well, I think I may have had my own 'Let it Go' moment" said a blushing Chloe.

"Shut up! What happened?" exclaimed Lisa.

Chloe recapped Lisa on the events of her anniversary, surprising herself at how much detail she provided and how comfortable felt. Perhaps she really was on the verge of turning over a new leaf.

"Oh my god. That is hot!" said Lisa upon hearing the end of Chloe's story. "Good for you, girl! Didn't I tell you that being plump comes with some advantages? More importantly, I'm glad you've come out of your shell."

"Well, it's not that I don't care at all anymore, I just feel a lot more comfortable with Jeremy. I'm still a little insecure about my weight though. I need time to adjust to the whole idea."

"Oh...so does this mean no more double lunches together?" asked Lisa.

"Are you kidding me? I've been looking forward to those for weeks!" Chloe replied excitedly.

It was an uneventful first day for Chloe as she took attendance, went over classroom rules, and passed out text books in all her classes. She taught 6th grade math, so all of her students were new to middle school. However, in between periods she saw a number of 7th graders that she taught last year roaming the halls. She made small talk with a particular group of girls that she knew well. After the conversation, one of the girls, making sure she was out of earshot from Chloe, said "Hey is it just me or did Mrs. Cuthbert put on some weight? The other girls giggled and agreed. Another said, "Yeah it looks like she spent the summer only eating cake!" and the group burst into laughter.

Chloe met Lisa for lunch in the cafeteria and they each ordered double-cheeseburgers. They were in the middle of discussing what had happened recently on General Hospital when they saw what they assumed was a new teacher approaching their table. She was young, probably closer in age to Lisa than Chloe, and she sported long, wavy pale golden blonde hair. She wore a dark shade of eye shadow, giving her an intense, smoldering look. Chloe guessed that she was probably a former cheerleader based on her wiry, yet toned physique.

"Hello ladies, I'm Stacy Pritchett, the new P.E. teacher." She carried a small salad that contained all sorts of vegetables and no meat.

"Chloe Cuthbert, 6th grade math"

"Lisa Thoreaux, 6th grade English"

"So happy to meet you both. You know, I'd just love to sit down with you but I'm lunching with the principal today. Besides, you two seem to be enjoying yourselves." she said, gesturing to Chloe who had just taken a large bit of her burger. "It's important to savor those cheat days when dieting, am I right? Well, I'll be seeing you both around. Buh-bye"

Chloe and Lisa stared at each other in disbelief, trying to comprehend what they just witnessed. Finally, Lisa broke the silence.

"Is that bitch for real?"

They both erupted with laughter and then resumed eating.

"I think we're going to need some after school dessert to cope with this new stressor, don't you think? I know a great place that serves homemade ice cream. What do you say?" suggested Lisa.

"Oh yes, I agree whole-heartedly. Let's do it!" replied Chloe. "This is certainly going to be an interesting school year..." she thought to herself.

As planned, the two friends got ice cream after school ended. It was exceptionally rich and filling, as homemade ice-cream tends to be, and Chloe enjoyed every bite. She arrived back home with a full belly, ready to change out of her pants that now pulled especially tight against her. As she opened the door though, she realized that she had promised Jeremy that she would make chicken alfredo for dinner. She ran to the kitchen to get the meal started, forgetting her discomfort for the moment. The meal was ready in about 20 minutes and Jeremy walked in the door just as Chloe finished.

"Perfect timing, dinner is served!" Chloe put a large portion of pasta onto Jeremy's plate and left her own untouched.

"Thanks! Aren't you eating though?" asked Jeremy.

Chloe was reminded of her how her gut uncomfortably pushed against the opening of her pants. She loved chicken alfredo and didn't want to pass it up, but she also knew that she needed some relief from the pressure. She decided to subtly unbutton her pants. She did so and her belly spilled forward, causing her to feel a wave of relief.

"Of course, I just wanted to serve you first" she replied. She scooped a portion of the pasta onto her plate and began to eat. Her growing appetite urged her to have multiple helpings and she did so with gusto. She felt her stomach expand throughout the meal, but with less discomfort due to her little maneuver. By the end of dinner, Chloe felt thoroughly stuffed. Her pants still clung ever more tightly to her thick thighs and she looked forward to changing into something more comfortable.

After cleaning up dinner, Jeremy surprised Chloe by embracing her from behind. He peered over her shoulder and began to fiddle with her pants button only to discover that it was undone.

"What's this? Hanging loose are we?" he asked.

Chloe laughed "Heh, I actually just needed to make more room for dinner. Lisa and I stopped for ice cream after school and I was still full from that. I guess I forgot to button my pants back up. Though, I'm not sure if I'd be able to at this point..."

Jeremy was still embracing Chloe from behind. She felt his erection grow against her padded bottom and began to feel excited herself. This strange mix of fullness and arousal was still new to her. She remembered the night of their anniversary and how wonderful it was. She realized that she now had a chance to recreate that night and she decided to pursue it.

"Maybe you can help me get these pants off instead?" she asked flirtatiously. They quickly raced off to the bedroom with Chloe laughing and smiling ear to ear.
