This choice: "Wow, you're really getting fat." • Go Back...Chapter #10"Wow, you're really getting fat." by: BrainBoy   "Excuse me?" said Nicole, unable to believe what she just heard.
"You heard me, Nicki. F-A-T, fat. That's what you've become," replied Betty in a mocking tone.
Nicole fumed. Ever since she'd found out she was pregnant, Betty had been completely unsupportive. Admittedly, no one she knew was really happy that she was now with child, herself included, but they'd all eventually learned to deal with it. Betty, on the other hand, seemed to think that making fun of her was now part of her duties as her best friend.
"It's not like I'm fat for no good reason," she explained for what had to be the tenth time in the last month. "I'm pregnant. This," she gestured to her larger frame, "is part of the package."
"That may be so. But that doesn't change the fact that you are a tubbo now."
Nicole scowled and crossed her arms, resting them on top of her bared belly. It wouldn't be so bad if she was just giving her some light-hearted teasing. Friends do that kind of thing all the time. But Betty was being downright mean! She knew Nicole was going through a hard time, and she was insisting on making it harder. It was getting to the point where she wondered if they should even be friends anymore.
"It wouldn't be so bad if you actually dressed like the fatty you are. Got some plus-sizes or preggy clothes on you or something." Betty flicked back her red hair over her shoulder and pointed at Nicole's stomach. "But you keep dressing like you did eight months ago! You're not a size zero anymore, so stop acting like you are!"
Nicole looked away from Betty in a way that was meant to look haughty, but in reality was to hide the blush creeping up her face. She hadn't really been preparing for the birth that would be coming in about a month's time. She hadn't gotten any baby supplies or maternity clothes or anything like that. Part of her had been trying to deny that this was actually happening to her. And deep down inside her, she got a bit of a thrill showing off how large she was getting. She liked baring her belly to the world. But she wasn't about to admit that to anyone, even herself. 'Still,' she thought to herself, 'I should get some baby supplies. I've been putting it off way too long.' "You don't understand what I'm going through," she said out loud.
"Yeah, and I don't want to. Not if it means being a lardo like you," Betty scoffed. "I guess all the stories are wrong; fatties aren't jolly at all."
Nicole growled in anger. That was it! She had enough of Betty's attitude! "I wish you were pregnant too! See how you like it!"
Flip me, said a voice in her head.
"As if that would ever happen," Betty rolled her eyes, "I'm not an idiot like you, and I'll never be a fatso like you either."
Flip me, the voice repeated. Show her what it's like.
Nicole took the coin that was still clutched in her hand, flipped it, and caught it, glaring at Betty all the while
Now reveal her fate! the voice echoed.
She looked at the coin in her hand. It was...  | Members who added to this interactive story also contributed to these: |
