chapter 7

David knew he'd have to find something else to wear for the rest of the school day. As he thought about his options Satoru-sensei walked into the staffroom. Satoru-sensei was a slim Japanese language teacher and stood several inches lower than David. Fortunately, he always had a spare sports kit. David quickly unbuttoned his shirt and motioned to Satoru sensei.

"Could I borrow your sports kit? I've spilt some food on my shirt", asked David.
"No problem David-sensei".

David grabbed the shirt and shorts from Satoru and went to the staff toilets to change. It was clear to him that Satoru-sensei's relative shortness and slim built contrasted with his increased girth and height. The elastic of the shorts cut into his waist and created a small belly hang over the shorts. He next tried on the shirt. He squeezed his arms in and brought the shirt down over his body. There was a 2 inch gap between his shorts and shirt. His belly was visible and straining against the already inadequate shirt. He was glad that lessons were over for the day and he could hide behind his desk and laptop. David crumbled up his clothes and tried to sneak into the empty staffroom. Empty that is except for Yui-sensei who had predicted that David would have some trouble sharing clothes with Satoru. She pretended to laminate some worksheets in the corner of the classroom which sneaking glances at David's cute belly. David sat down, blew a sigh of relief and was grateful that Yui-sensei seemed engrossed in her work. He noticed she'd left a few more sweets on his desk and he munched them whilst subconsciously rubbing his constricted belly.

David left work and still feeling a little hungry stopped a convenience store near his apartment to grab a dozen donuts. He collapsed on his sofa and ate the donuts one by one leaving little time to savour the taste. He heard a knock at his door and with a donut in his hand, slowly walked to see who his visitor was.

"Hi David", squealed Sarah. "I caught an earlier train so we could catch up for dinner".
David was surprised and choked a little on his remaining donut. Sarah shocked attempted to perform an amateur Heimlich manoeuvre. She grabbed David around the belly and squeezed it tight. She couldn't help but notice there was a new layer of tummy fat to grab hold off. David full from all his food, yelled in pain and coughed up the offending donut.

"Cheers Sarah", David coughed.
"No problem. I hope that hasn't put you off your food", replied Sarah.
"Not a chance". smiled David. "What's for dinner?"
