Chapter 1 - Meeting Maeve

I met Maeve in my first week of college. Ever since I had started, she stood out to me. She was in the same morning class as me, and it was fate that brought us together. I'll admit, I've never been into the "fat girl" but she was just beautiful. Sure, she was a bit round on, well, all of her edges but that didn't mean her face wasn't pretty. When it wasn't being stuffed full of food of course. She always brought food from some breakfast place and ate during class, every day of the first week. I couldn't help but stare, watching her devour a breakfast fit for two maybe three people. It was astonishing, impressive even. Though I suppose I stared too much because one day she decided to sit next to me.

Though she was large, it didn't mean she wasn't elegant. She wasn't abundantly loud whenever her feet clomped against the ground, and when she sat next to me it was smooth, not abrupt, and loud as most people think a larger person would be.

"So, you keep watching me eat every day. If you wanted to say something to me you could've, but you haven't. So, are you shy or are you just a creep?" Maeve had spoken.

I didn't expect her to sit next to me, and my brain was still processing what she had just said. I could tell she was waiting for my response as I could feel her eye gaze intensifying more and more as I tried to look away.

"I-it's not that or anything, your just, well um... you really-" Torin was cut off.

"Wait, you're hungry? Aren't you? Look sorry I know the smells kind of spread through the room like wildfire so it must be driving you craaazy man! Don't worry about it, I actually ordered extra today so I don't mind sharing at all." Maeve was practically excited to share her food.

That wasn't what I was going to say at all, I didn't even recognize the smell. However, maybe its better this way... now that she mentioned it the food smells pretty good.

"Yeah! Im surprised you figured it out! Oh darn! I thought I really had you." Torin said in an acting voice.

"Pshh like you could fool me. I can sense a hungry soul a mile away, I knew something was off about this room hehe. Here, just take this whole bag, I got my own anyways."

Maeve had given Torin a bag half the size of hers, but he was still thankful.

"Thanks, it does smell great." Torin said

He began eating and immediately went for more. It was delicious.

"What is this??" Torin had asked.

"Jush Mc Donalsh breakfash, never had it before?" Maeve said with a mouthful.

"No, not really. I was raised to not eat at any sort of fast-food establishments." Torin said.

"What the- boy we gotta fix that, this shit is some of the best food you can get for your money. Cheap, hot, and good as all hell. Say, what're you doing later?" Asked Maeve.

I wondered where she was going with this. There's no way she wants to hang out right?

"Nothing actually, I'm as open as a book... or shit free as a bird? Um, something similar to being free later?" Torin was too nervous to form a sentence without sounding like a toddler.

"Pshh chill out man, but sweet. Here's my number, text me later and then you, my friend are gonna try some more of Mc Donalds! The first of many many food exploration trips! I'm going to show you why food is so very important to me, and why it should be for you." Maeve said excitingly.

She just said the first of many, she means to hang out more than once? I mean she's pretty energetic but it's better than nothing. Plus, she's cute...

"Sweet! Sounds awesome! I can't wait!" Toren accidentally showed his true feelings, he wanted to hide his excitement, but it got the better of him.

Torin had no idea, she was going to change him forever.
