“Well I might as well get this out of the way…”Rose figured as she huffed and puffed towards the doctor’s office which mercifully was located on the ground floor. In recent years Buttercombe had gotten a bit stricter and more concerned when it came to the health of its students, and had made routine physicals mandatory on a semester by semester basis.
“Next? ”called Dr. Shiro Fukiyama from behind the thick door of her office. Shiro watched as the door opened wide, then wider, then-
“Gyah! Ohmygodyourehuge…” Shiro spluttered, as the largest girl she’d seen all day tottered into the room.
“Hullo?” asked Rose politely pretending not to have not heard the doctor’s outburst.
The quite skinny Dr. Shiro breathed a sigh of relief, she hadn’t meant to shout like that but the blimp of a student in front of her had to weigh at least three times what she herself did! Fortunately it seemed the girl hadn’t heard her outburst. “Um, yes, hello. I’m Dr. Shiro the new nurse here this year. And you are?” she asked standing up from her seat and sending her long black hair swishing behind her lithe frame.
“Rose, Rose Tyler” the girl said closing the door.
“Let’s see Tyler…T…T..” Dr. Shiro scanned the sheet of paper in front of her, lightly tracing over the list of names with her pink Yeng logo branded pen. “Mhmm let’s see here…When you came here to the academy you were at 175lbs your Freshman year…you’re a bit on the taller side though so I imagine you carried the weight pretty well…” Dr. Shiro hadn’t added “back then” but her intent was obvious in her tone.
Rose meanwhile had sat on the examining bench in the center of the room, red faced from exertion and from dreading what was going to come about next....
“Well let’s go ahead and step on the scale.” Said Dr. Shiro flipping to another page on the stack of sheets in front of her.
Rose did as instructed, and the two remained awkwardly silent as the digital numbers finally settled on…350lbs! The two shared an equal look of disbelief at the number, but as much as either of them tried to avoid it, the digits stubbornly remained displayed on the scale.
“Well…” began Dr. Shiro breaking the silence, but wanting to do so in the most inoffensive manner she could, “Rose, I’m pretty sure it’s obvious what I’m going to say next, so I’m going to recommend that you sign up for-Hmmm…” the doctor looked puzzled by something on the paperwork in front of her.
“Hmmm?” Echoed the big buxom brit, having no idea what the doctor was looking into.
“Well it says here, that last year you actually turned down enrolling in the special services for stipendiaries program?”
“Oh, right, well… I didn’t think I really needed it last year. I’ve always heard it was rather embarrassing …And honestly I’ve always been used to being a ‘bigger’ girl even growing up in England…so I guess I’m just…I dunno…more comfortable getting around with a bit more bulk than others?” Said Rose, feeling a tiny bit more able to speak in confidence to the woman.
“Well I’m glad you’re at least conscious of the path you’ve been heading down.” Said Dr. Shiro mentally marking Rose as one of the first girls she’s heard of turning down an offer to advance a tier in the SSS program. “But, as a physician…” (a Yeng sponsored one at that! Dr. Shiro added privately) “…I strongly suggest you take enrolling consider enrolling in SSS this year. It was designed precisely with students like you in mind.” Dr. Shiro handed Rose a small booklet titled —SSS & YOU—: from the numerous others piled off to the side on her desk.
“You do only have till the end of the week to decide if you want to easily transfer to a SSS-single room for the semester, it’d be a room with more…dependable…furniture, for a girl such as yourself.”
“Oh, right…Umm…thanks…” Rose said taking the brochure. Without another word Rose got up and made for the door, her mind now buzzing in thought. 350lbs! Maybe she should enroll in the program… If anything It would be quite the convenient excuse to not see Sakura and Viola 24/7, and some of the perks involved did sound pretty good from what she could remember hearing about them…
“Next?” called Dr. Shiro giving her pen a click, it felt like today was going to be a loooong day for both of the women.
