chapter 3

Laura arrived back at school with several new outfits. She was so excited to see Ava. They decided to hit up their buffet that night to celebrate their reunion. Laura ate even more than usual since she hadn't eaten much exciting food at home. She must have had 6 refills on her coke too. After finally calling it quits, she leaned back, smiled and told Ava that she was so happy to be back.

Things settled into the old routine for the next couple of months. Laura was still eating a lot and was staying full for most of her waking hours. She knew she was still gaining weight as the new Christmas clothes were starting to get tight.

She marveled at her body in the mirror one day. Her face was still slim and pretty enough. She still had small shoulders and arms. Even though she had no muscle tone in them anymore, her arms hadn't gotten fatter. Then there was her boobs. She loved them. They were perfectly round and perky. They were a full B cup and she was so happy that her weight gain had brought them. She had joked with Ava that in photos from the chest up, she looked like a skinny, fit girl. Then came her lower half. She had grown into that label of pear shaped. She had a soft squishy stomach that stuck out like she was arching her back. Her ass was like two milky white balloons and those flowed into her growing hips and thighs. She still couldn't believe what curves she had! She made a little frown at the angry purple stretch marks that were starting to spread out over hips. Those weren't her favorite feature.

After a winter of little activity and far too much food, Laura found her biggest jeans terribly uncomfortable. She decided she was done with them and decided to donate them to the clothing drive. It was almost her birthday so she could get more clothes when she got her usual gift cards.

The week before her birthday, Laura and Ava were invited to go to a friend's beach house for spring break. It would be 6 girls and would be a laid back trip since it was kind of in the middle of nowhere. They decided to go but then Laura realized that she needed to buy a swimsuit for the hot tub in the beach house. Some of her birthday money would go to that for sure.

Ava and Laura planned a shopping day to prepare for the trip. It would be chilly still so they didn't need summer clothes but she did want a new suit for the hot tub. She originally wanted a one piece to help cover her her scars and her stretch marks but after trying on a few in frustration, she decided that the massive size difference between her top and bottom halves made one piece suits impossible. She tried on bikinis- she grabbed small and medium tops and large and extra large bottoms. She loved the way her perfect boobs looked in medium tops. The bottoms were tougher to decide on. Because her butt and her stomach were round, she couldn't wear any of the higher waisted suits. They either rolled down her belly, or gave her massive wedgies. She ended up having to get a low cut bikini that sat under her belly and had enough material to cover her volleyball size butt cheeks. They were amazingly round and had only started to have a little dimpling. She thought she looked pregnant with her belly on display but Ava promised she looked gorgeous. Ava meanwhile got an extra small bikini that was perfect.

The beach house was small and it was in the middle of nowhere. There were two bedrooms that slept 3. Laura and Ava were going to room with Lucy. Lucy was actually a Junior. She had switched majors after sophomore year and had befriended two of the other girls. Laura liked her right away. Lucy was always joking and laughing and Lucy was also fat. Unlike Laura, Lucy had a fat face, large heavy breasts and fat, round arms. The first night they were there, they sent Lucy on a beer and booze run. They weren't going anywhere so they wanted to relax and have some drinks.

Laura had never tried alcohol. It was out of the question when she was training and her parents never really had it around the house. She was excited to try her first drinks. She confided in Ava that she had never drank before. Ava promised to keep an eye on her and she winked. While they waited for Lucy to come back, they fixed some snacks and got into their swimsuits for the hot tub. Laura felt a little self conscious for the first time ever. She was the biggest girl there while Lucy was gone. One of the other girls said that Laura had the best butt she'd ever seen and complimented her on how round it was. That made her feel a bit better.

When Lucy came back, the girls decided to start off with beer. Ava warmed Laura that she might not like it. She was standing there in her swimsuit and she downed her first beer in just a few seconds, like it was a Coke. She smiled at Ava and said she loved it. They all laughed and gave Laura another beer. Lucy came out in her swimsuit. She also had a bikini. Laura was amazed that the think straps of the top were holding Lucy's boobs up at all. They were so huge!

The girls had a great, relaxing week. Laura experimented with some other liquor but she really loved beer. On the last day of the trip, Laura was wearing some yoga pants and a tee shirt that was way too tight and kept riding up. Lucy offered her a bigger shirt for her comfort. Laura put on Lucy's soft tee shirt, noticing that it was a size 2xl. It was of course huge on top but it fit nicely over her belly and actually came down to her hips. Laura thought for a minute what it would be like if she filled out the whole shirt.

As spring came, Laura was still hoping to find a way not to spend the whole summer at home. She couldn't break up with pizza and her new treat, beer. She had been going out with Lucy here and there. Lucy lived off campus in an apartment so they could have some beers there and she could spend the night. How could she give that up? Laura met with her advisor and was presented with a very appealing option. She could take one or two summer classes to make up for her light schedule. It would keep her at school for 6 weeks of the summer. She had to ask her parents for help with living expenses since the meal plan wouldn't be around in the summer. She would also have to find a place to stay.

Things worked out perfectly. Her parents were happy to help so that she didn't fall behind. Lucy was also staying around for the summer since she had a job. Her roommate was moving out so she invited Laura to stay with her. Laura's parents were going to come and help her move but Lucy and her boyfriend promised they would do it. Laura was secretly very happy about that since she wasn't even sure how much weight she had gained lately. Lucy has admitted to gaining 60 pounds her freshman year. She assured Laura that it evened out after that.

Laura took two classes that summer but one was actually online. She only had to go to one class. Even though she was in much less pain now, she had grown quite lazy. Her parents were paying Lucy some money to help with rent and were also giving Laura a food budget. She had to be creative to make it stretch but she noticed one day that she was still staying full most of the time. Lucy's boyfriend worked at a cafe and he would bring them the most delicious cakes that didn't sell. Lucy dared her one time to try and eat a whole 3 layer lemon cake. She wasn't sure she could do it but it actually was not even a challenge. She was truly getting a fat girl mindset.

The last week of summer classes was so sad for Laura. Lucy promised to keep the house stocked with all their favorite foods and beer so that Laura could stay in a food coma all week. Laura was flying home on a Monday. That Saturday, Lucy and her boyfriend surprised her with a trip to a hotel. She was a little confused but decided to go along with it. She packed her swimsuit as requested. When they got to the hotel, she was relieved to find two rooms reserved. One for her and one for them. She was given a wristband and told that was for the unlimited dining. They spend the day lounging by the pool. Laura couldn't help but notice how much smaller her bikini looked, compared to spring break. She also noticed a lot of new stretch marks which now ran down to her thighs. Speaking of thighs, they were getting fatter too. She could feel looks from people when she walked around. Her butt was like two balls bouncing behind her with each step. What would her mom say? They wrapped up the evening with Lucy and Laura laying on the bed and Lucy's boyfriend feeding them food after food and washing it down with beer. Laura had to pull her pants down below her bloated belly. Lucy offered to rub it for her and she accepted. That felt so good! Late into the night, Lucy and James were ready to go to the bedroom. They said goodnight to Laura and she sighed, saying she hoped she could find someone to take care of her like that. She went back to finishing the beer and fell asleep with her belly hanging out and very full.

When Laura got off the plane she could see shock on her parents' faces. She smiled, waived and ran up to hug them. She was genuinely happy to see them. That night her mom asked her how much weight she had gained and she told her she didn't know. Her mom said she was worried about her. Laura said she had been over indulging in foods she couldn't eat before but the past few weeks had finally felt less pain and had been walking more. That wasn't entirely true but seemed to make mom happy. Her mom reminded her that she needed an annual physical to return to school and have her special considerations for her injuries in place. Laura was a bit nervous about the physical.
