Gill wasn't really hungry but he felt funny watching the others eat and he wanted to fit in with his new American mates so he decided to ordea hamburger and a coke.
"You want fries with that?" Came back the voice from the speaker.
"Sure he does." bellowed Carson.
Carson rolled the car forward and waited for the food and then he continued.
"you can't run all over the field like you do without keeping your food tank full. You're already skin and bones. It looks like I'm going to have to take you in tow here. Maybe scrawny works over there in England but you won't last a month over here if you don't eat big."
Gilliam was amazed. That was the longest speech he'd gotten out of Carson since they met. He was certainly lean when compared to Carson but he'd never thought he was scrawny.
"Ok, Carson. I get your point."
The food came and the boys pulled over to chow down.
Carson slapped his gut with satisfaction and belched. Gill had watched his friends wolf down their big snacks while he was still finishing up the fries.

"Skinny guys may be hot stuff in England." Carson told him. "But here, the girls like a guy that's got some heft. Besides being stronger and having more endurance. Isn't that right, Ronnie?"
Ronnie nodded and both boys looked at Gilliam expectantly.
Gill wasn't sure what they had in mind and he was fine with his current size and condition but he did want to fit in and so far Carson had been good company.
"Well" he began cautiously. "What do you mean?"
"You'll like it." Ronnie pipped up. "We're just going to hand out with you and
