Amber was a hard working, fairly smart girl. In every class she tried her best, she always finished her work early, and helped her friends with their work. But for some reason, she just couldn't concentrate today. She looked around at the other students in her English class. Directly ahead of her was her best friend, Tiffany. Cute, fun, and curvy, she was doodling on her notebook while the teacher talked. In a back corner was the stuck up b-i-t-c-h, Megan. She was hard at work on her makeup. She caught Amber's gaze and actually turned up her nose at her. Amber gripped the desk angrily.
"You okay, Amber?" Amanda, Amber's other friend, was turned in her desk to Amber's right to look at her.
"Just look at that bitch, all she cares about is her appearance."
"Yeah, I know, but that's just Megan for you." Amber smiled bitterly. "She wouldn't even be passing her classes if she wasn't bribing or fucking half her teachers."
"Amen to that," Tiffany said, turning around to join in the bashing.
"Guess what, though?", Amanda said, leaning over, her desk creaking in protest of the large girl's shifting weight.
"What?" the other two said together.
"I think Megan has been gaining weight!"
"What!?" They said together again.
"Ladies, keep it down and pay attention!", the teacher roared before returning to the book in front of him.
"Why do you think that?" Tiffany asked.
"I've been going to a gym after school, trying to lose weight, you know. Anyway, I saw Megan there."
"So? She does it all, excersize, anorexia, puking, everything to stay skinny."
"I know, I've seen her there before. The difference is now she's been staying longer, working harder at it. I was curious, so I snuck into the locker room while she was changing. She was actually struggling to fasten her jeans."
"Wow, she's slipping." Tiffany smirked. "About time that bitch got some sort of punishment."
They turned to look at Megan. She was dressed much more conservatively than normal. Her shirt actually reached her pants, and little cleavage was visible.
"You might be right, Amanda," Tiffany said.
"I wonder why. She's a bitch, but when it comes to her appearance, she's as dedicated as an Olympic athelete," Amber wondered.

After English was lunch, and the 3 girls went to their favourite lunch spot together. They sat on a brick divider between the quad and a nearby building. Amber ate a pre-packed salad, Tiffany a peanut butter sandwich and diet soda, and Amanda a cold slice of pizza and an apple.
"Have you hear the news about this mysterious virus?" Amanda asked.
"Oh yeah, that. It's been all over the news lately," Amber replied. Tiffany snorted."Every other month there's a new super-virus that will wipe out humanity or cause death to society or something. If half the stuff they said on the news was true, we'd all have been dead a hundred years ago."
"This ones different, it's not a killing virus," Amanda insisted,"it's some sort of growth virus."
"Excuse me?"
"It causes the victim to grow uncontrollably."
Tiffany was silent for a moment, then she started laughing. "Oh my god, that's a good one! Where did you here about this 'virus', National Enquirer?"
"It's not funny, Tiff! It's already in a lot of major cities, I heard it's even reached this city."
"Okay, Amanda, I'm sorry for laughing, it's just, this seems pretty ridiculous." The trio nodded in agreement.
"Ridiculous or not, we should keep an eye out for victims."
"Okay, I'll call you as soon as I see a human beach ball."
"You know what I just thought of?", Amanda said.
"What?", Amber asked.
"Megan might be infected."
Tiffany choked on her sandwich.
"No, really, think about it. Would Megan EVER risk her perfect looks?" Tiffany and Amber shook their heads. "And yet she's gained weight, and not a small amount."
"Yeah, but..."
"Well, It's unlikely, but I'll steer clear of her just in case," Amber said.
"I'd steer clear of her anyway," Tiffany added, which got a good laugh from her friends.
