chapter 6

A few weeks later, there was no denying that Emma was officially the fattest girl in school. She had two smaller girls who helped her everywhere she needed to go, as she simply couldn't move on her own anymore.

Ms. Cole came up to her dorm room one day and found her sprawled out on the bed, stuffing herself with a box of cupcakes that she'd stolen from Ms. Cook's supply closet.

"Emma... I don't really know how to say this, but you've done brilliant here, much better than anyone thought you would... I don't think this school is for you anymore."

Emma was too heavy to sit up by herself, but she looked at Ms. Cole with concern. "W-what do you mean?"

"I hate to say it, but you're getting too big..." Ms. Cole tried to sit down next to Emma, but there wasn't any room.

"Oh..." Emma licked her lips.

"I've arranged for your parents to come and decide what to do next with you. They'll be here later today."

"Oh..."





A few hours passed before Ms. Cole came back up to Emma's room. She found the enormous girl asleep, with an empty box of donuts resting on her massive belly.

Ms. Baker and Ms. Cook came up with her, and the three women helped Emma sit up. She blinked a few times and stared at her teachers. "Food?..."

"No, Emma..." Ms. Baker looked uncomfortably at her massive student.

"Your parents are here. Come on." Ms. Cook patted Emma's huge flabby arm.

With the help of her teachers, Emma was brought down to the first floor. Her teachers helped her into a sitting position before nervously bringing in her parents.

Emma's mother and father were utterly speechless. They knelt beside Emma and awkwardly tried to hug her, hardly believing this mountain of fat was their daughter.

"She's been doing amazing here... Just maybe a little too much." Ms. Cole came over.

"Well, there's no way we're going to be able to bring her home like this. And I doubt we'll have nearly enough food." Emma's father stood up.

"She's your responsibility now." Her mother patted Emma's belly in disbelief and turned to walk away.

Ms. Cole watched them leave and went to speak with Ms. Baker and Ms. Cook. The three teachers left Emma alone in the middle of the hall.

Emma started to softly cry, but she had barely noticed her parents' reaction. She was simply hungry, and no one was there to feed her now.

A few minutes later, the three teachers came back with a cake that barely fit through the hall. Emma's eyes lit up.
