Chapter 2 - The news

The end of the lesson comes very slowly, because of Aurora who could not help but with every passing minute, asking herself a new question about the excessive eating of the boys and girls present in the room. Becoming more and more eager that boring whining would end, just to be able to pick up her beloved phone and finally find the answer she was looking for. And as easy as it would have been to ask one of her companions, our dear protagonist preferred to avoid, to perhaps seem rude or even worse, little informed about the events that were happening in the world, of fashion, even if she doubted it, or about the world in general. Yeah, because when you were part in a place like her, if you weren't informed about what was around you, it didn't really matter if it was simple gossip, politics or who knows what, you were finished. So this was forbidden since Start!

Therefore, as soon as the lesson was over, the young girl was the first to run out, anxiously craving the knowledge that had been so denied to her in those 2 hours. Noticing as soon as she turned on the phone, how many notifications she hadn't watched since that morning, including a list of messages from Liam, his best friend, where he was told with extreme urgency, as today they were supposed to meet at 10:30 in the canteen. But which made her more than weird, since the boy never tended to fidget, and was one of the calmest in their friendship crew. That meant only one thing: GOSSIP !

She have to wait a couple of seconds before someone answered her, “What do you want?” the friend said annoyed on the other end of the phone, "You wrote me that you have to tell me something of extreme urgency... So... What's the gossip?!", another sighed remembering only now that the friend she wasn't made for waiting, she was worse than a dog when she saw her favorite game, she went crazy and stopped thinking "Wait, I'm coming", and without adding anything else Liam ended the call, having as a result a snort from Aurora "The usual rude!".


At least it didn't take long before the friend, showed up at the entrance of the place previously confirmed by the messages he had sent, attracting the latter's attention by calling loudly "Liam!", perhaps even too loud since most of the people around her turned to look at her, “Sorry…” she said in the embarrassment of the moment, in a low voice and with a small smile on her soft-featured face. “ You're the usual idiot, keep your composure” the friend reproached her, approaching the table where the girl with the long blond and wavy hair was sitting, attracting the latter's attention, “Who cares! Now sit down and tell me what you have to say" Aurora said, seeming to immediately recover from the initial embarrassment, replacing it with enthusiasm and happiness, "As you like" Liam sat down at the table before continuing "Anyway… You know Naomi, right? Well, apparently, from talking around a bit with various boys and girls of various different courses, I have come to know that perhaps a new twisted trend could break out.” the young boy smiled, later pointing to himself "He's probably going to hit me!”. "Are you going to become the new sponsor of McDonald's?", and immediately the boy glared at the girl in front of him "What does that have to do with McDonald's with fashion?! It's a Fast Food chain!", "I don't know, that's the only logical connection that came to my mind!", "But it has nothing to do with it!" Liam narrowed his eyes and was silent, looking straight at each other's eyes for a few seconds, before speaking again "It's because I'm fat right?".

The girl didn't say anything about it, preferring silence while inside she felt a sense of unease.

"My God! And for this! You're a bitch!”, “I'm sorry! But you… Well, you cannot be defined as thin or otherwise as thin.” she tried to make excuses the girl, looking at her friend from the head as far as the table would allow him to see, and she had to say… Was Liam still gaining weight?

Ok, the boy had never been thin, or at least, he had always had a bit of a belly, big or small. Maybe when they went to elementary school he was more definable thin, but in the course of the boy's life things got heavier and heavier, in the true sense of the word. Starting to gain weight in middle school, and ending up with university to already have a prosperous belly that hung beyond the waist and kept barely covered by the shirts the boy was wearing. But despite his massive physique, the boy always tried to dress simple but still with style. And Aurora appreciates this a lot, since thanks to him she was able to get a little out of my head what was the stereotype of the fat and slovenly. Even if he still thought many things.

"I know but still it's a bit delicate fucking!" the young woman was brought back to reality by her friend, incredible that so little time had passed since that little reflection of hers, the brain was really powerful, "However, by saying that it has to do with me I mean that it seems, that various modeling agencies are proposing a new type of innovation in the fashion world. This would seem to have something to do with fat, in fact, it seems that a large number of models are gaining weight on purpose, and it would seem not a little. In fact it seems that the objective set for now is 30kg, enough to fall within the mbi of overweight but some think that going forward with time, the kg they will have to add will be 100kg or more!”, the boy while ne spoke he never really seemed, shocked by the thing he was telling, but seemed more excited by what could happen from there shortly. Since the biggest events that made known the new fashions would start in September or so.

On the contrary, our beautiful protagonist, did not seem fully convinced of this new fashion, it seemed unlikely to her, even if this fully explained the situation that morning and now, looking around, also the situation in canteen, where more than half of the people inside had immense quantities of food in their pots. This reminds her of one thing, that she still had to eat something.

She rested her head on the table and sighed exhausted, while her friend looked at her bewildered, "Well, that would explain the situation we are in now" and raised her finger to then draw a circle in the air, gesturing to the other to look at the room and Liam couldn't help but do it, also realizing the situation of almost half of the room ”This honestly doesn't surprise me… Models on social media aren't hiding their getting fat, they're just finding fictitious excuses to explain it. It's normal for people to copy them, they are the symbol of beauty, if they change, everyone must change. Look at Chiara and Federico, both have gotten fat 5kg, not much but something.”. “Impossible!” raised her head and looked at Liam “I didn't see any stories last night about it, from any of the 2!”, ”Indeed they did this morning, and also posted about it.” and after what his best friend said, Aurora immediately picked up the phone, immediately going to see the stories and posts of the model and entrepreneur, and her singer husband. And she could not believe that this was true.
She would have to get fat to be fashionable!
