Kelsey walked into the SAT test prep office. She was not particularly excited for another summer at this job, but at least it paid well--very well. Everything about it struck her as unexceptional. It was a nice building, but unremarkable. The work was tedious, but not hard. It was more well respected than waiting tables for the summer, but nothing people would ever be impressed by. She had gotten the job somewhat easily because of her very high SAT score, so high in fact, that she had surprised herself when she got it. She politely greeted her old boss Brad, who was the owner of the company, and about 40.
"Hi Brad, how was your year?"
"Busy," he cordially replied, while they walked to his office, "there is someone I want you to meet, his name his Kyle, I brought him on this summer as well, to handle the extra influx of students we have this year."
As Kelsey walked in, she was greeted by a gorgeous guy. A bit ovr 6'1, with a trim physique that seemed to match her own. Dark hair and a strong jaw line, Kelsey was caught off guard a bit.
"Hi, I'm Kyle, I hear we are going to be working a lot together this summer."
"Oh. Umm, Kelsey, ah yeah." was her first lines that she could spit out.
"Kyle is home from college out of state," Brad filled her in
"Yep, senior year is next year, so I'm excited to get back." Kyle continued.
Perhaps there will be something fun about this job Kelsey thought as the meeting got started.

It was around lunch and Anna was starting to get a bit hungry. Over her first day at Williams Energy was a busy one, getting to know the team members, meeting her boss, going over her duties, and paging through the handbook. She had just gotten into Houston a few days before. Anna had not been lying when she said it was a great internship. Put up in a four star hotel in Houston downtown right next to where she worked, she was surprised by her nice digs.
She casually walked into her boss' office and asked, "Hey Susan, what is the lunch policy around here."
"I'm sorry, did I not mention it?" Susan responded. She was a friendly, middle aged woman, who looked good for her age, but over the past 10 years, around 20 pounds had floated on to her 5'8 frame, putting her at 160. Susan continued, "right now, over the summer when it's rather busy, we just order in food and the company picks it up in exchange for us working."
"Wow, that's great of them." Anna remarked.
"It's a nice perk." Susan said

Back at Powers, Madison was hungover from another night of partying. Her internship did not start until next week, so she had taken advantage of her free time in the form of socializing. She had been eating out nearly every night, and then hitting the town. Unfortunately for her, this week of non-stop indulgence took a tool. After using the rest room, Madison saw her scale in the corner, unused since she last saw she was at 137 pounds. She could not decide if she was bloated at the moment, or if she actually had picked up weight, so she bit the bullet and stepped on it.
142 pounds.
Ohhh....shit! Madison was not happy about this. 12 pounds was actually something signficant for her. This was no longer just a bit of weight she could lose overnight. Crap, if I get to 15 pounds, that would be a big deal she thought to herself. For Madison, she always had been slightly smug that she was never one of the people who always talked about shedding that "15 pounds" or "last bit of fat" but here she was, 12 pounds heavier and looking at her body, trying to figure out how noticeable it was.
She no longer felt completely comfortable with her stomach. It was soft, and she knew that was the result of the partying. Hmm, I'll have to cut back.
