Kathy spent the next hour unpacking, folding clothes, and getting set up within her "half" of the room- although it was more like a quarter, at least for the time being. While Beth wasn't entirely upfront with her bossiness, Kathy could tell right from the get-go that Beth was the kind of girl that was accustomed to getting what she wanted, and while Kathy wasn't the biggest pushover on the planet, she was more than used to the usual hierarchy that occurred within the school system- older students get what they want, and younger students give it to them. Not a perfect system, but hey, there aren't that many. And so, Kathy kept her side rather modest- only setting up her alarm clock and a small picture frame of her with her parents and her brother on her nightstand, and making sure to utilize her outlet splitter to it's full potential- laptop and cell phone charger and lamp all plugged in. Finally, she unloaded the small care package her mother had given her into her drawer- she had seen how Beth could eat, and while she wasn't opposed to sharing, it was quite obvious that Beth would devour the entire drawer of snacks in one sitting if she found it.
Finally, she was unpacked- and it only took a half hour! Laying flat on her back, she pulled out one of her books she was working on from under her bed, where she had stashed them- it was an 19th century piece, and while it had a shocking amount of historical accuracy for a teenage romance novel, it also had her prime interest- some very steamy love action. Engulfed in the book, Kathy barely noticed the next hour pass by- that is, until Beth woke up with a loud snort.
"Hmmf." Her roommate grunted as she pushed herself into a seated position. "Oh, I see you bailed on orientation. Well, good for you, I guess..." Beth said in a slightly lowered tone than usually, her still-bloated belly pooching out from her shirt.
"Oh, actually, it doesn't start for another-" Kathy glanced at the clock beside her bed, "Twenty minutes... Although, Rachel mentioned that-" Kathy began, but Beth's eyes flew open at the name of the R.A..
"Rachel stopped by? And you didn't wake me up?! Oh, that bitch..." Beth growled, but with a sinister smile on her face. "Not shocking- she always sucked. Anyways, don't go to orientation- it's a joke. Blah blah blah school rules blah blah blah have a great year, everyone!" Beth attempted (and failed) to imitate the headmistress, Ms. Polluck, as she waved her arms in the air, her arm fat jiggling wildly. "Look, just hang out with me, I'll show you the, ropes, that is, if I, ugh..." Beth struggled to push herself off of her bed, her arms wobbling slightly at the sudden shock of attempting to hoist the bloated girl out of bed. Finally, she succeeded- sort of, falling into a half crouch before slowly, agonizingly slowly, raising into a standing position. "Hoooof." Beth groaned, the air involuntarily escaping from between her pursed lips, before rapidly waddling towards the door. "Well, come on, I'll give you a quick -huff- tour."
-----
The tour was far from quick- they made several pit stops, mostly to vending machines, although one was to where Rachel's room apparently was, but despite Beth's knocking and repeated shouts of "BITCH GET OUT HERE", the door stayed shut, so the tour was briefer than previously intended. Still, it wasn't entirely unhelpful- Kathy got the general jist of the layout of the school, where the nurse's and administrative offices were, what each wing of the school was- it was the kindest thing Beth had done yet, although that streak of selflessness was cut short when Beth announced that the buffet was "probably open by now" and waddled her way to the cafeteria- in a quicker pace than the rest of the tour, Kathy couldn't help but notice.
By the time they arrived, the assembly had finished, and the cafeteria was fuller than it had been on their last visit, by a long shot- girls packed into every table, and there was actually a line at the food area! Beth groaned loudly, before saying in a whiny voice, "I can't even handle this right now!" Forlorn, the bulbous girl sat down hard at a table- Kathy distinctly heard a creak from the chair, despite the volume level of the cafeteria- before instructing Kathy. "Hey, get me a tray of food. No, two trays. I'm -urp- hungry." This clearly wasn't the case, because Beth was still belching from her previous feast, and although Kathy wasn't sure, it seemed Beth's shirt wasn't quite as low as it had been before... And yet, she sullenly trudged her way to the end of the line.
