Adam and Richard were scopping out their victim, there was a kid who was unpopular as not many people liked him for who he was. "Hey we should use the ring on James" Richard suggested. Adam was nervous "Are you sure? I mean that might be kind of mean the jocks pick on him, the girls pick on him..."; Richard suddenly inturupted him "We pick on him"; Adam was thinking "A weight gain spell make him gain 300 pounds would be good for him."
Wait.... what are you talking about?" Adam asked. "Dude- there he is," Richard pointed out, past the bushes where they were hiding out in. He didn't exactly have the geeky stereotypical body and most girls might have considered him cute- he was a little short, but he didn't have any glasses, he had a mess of dark brown, curly hair, and brown eyes. He wore baggy clothes that probably didn't orignally belong to him. However, he was very shy, somewhat antisocial, and was, of course, very intelligent, his topics of conversation were usually above and beyond that of any other student... and since he was different from everyone else, he got picked on.
Richard brought up a story from the third grade that demonstrated this and helped Adam remember why he didn't particularly care for Ben. "Remember, back in the third grade... at the spelling bee... I was up there and it was one of the final rounds..." "Actually, Richard, if I remember correctly, it was one of the first-" "Hey, who's telling this story?" Richard stated bitterly, "Anyway, just as I had spelt out a particularly challenging word and the teachers told me I got it correct- then that little pipsqueak Ben had to blurt out I had spelt it wrong... and they checked it and next thing I knew, I was DQed."
"But that was in the third grade" Adam replied in disbelief "You moved on"; "But my hopes and dreams of being the best at something were shattered, I cried that day," Richard said sadly, "And I want my revenge, fatten up the kid to 400 pounds right now!" ; Adam was nervous as Ben didn't do anything to them but Richard wanted the ring because of loosing at a spelling bee, "Just give me the ring"; Adam sighed in disbelief "I will fatten him up, as you will probably break the ring or atleast tarnish it."
Adam told himself he would only fatten Ben up to 250 pounds and make the gain take place over a day or two so it wouldn't appear so drastically... then again, a day would still be a very drastic timeframe to gain 150 pounds... He tried to wish, but he couldn't do it... He really didn't have anything against Ben... but then again, Ben kept on being the best at anything academic... Still, it wasn't Ben's fault he was smart- it was his own gift... Adam gulped and made his wish... if worse came to worse, he could always make him lose the extra padding, right?
Richard was thinking, "Why don't we just agree on a number, the look on your face tells me that 300 is not really a good thing," ; "I was thinking 250," Adam replied, then he asked his friend, "Should we get started?"
"Alright, a 150 pound gain I can deal with," Richard said, "300 was a bit much, I admit... you see, I've never been known as the sharpest tool in the shed, and it kind of got to me... still...." Richard said. "Okay," Adam said as he made his wish.
The gain was somewhat noticable as Bens stomach started to grow a little bit bigger, this was the start of the gain, Adam and Richard estimated that he was close to 300 pounds by sunset, Ben didn't even notice that he was slowly but surely he was going to gain weight, "You know Richard, there are going to be some weird reprucussions because of this" Adam warned "I feel bad for doing it but if that is what you want then I won't argue with you"
Ben was wearing a baggy brown shirt and it was very hard to see the gain. Ben scratched his thick, curly head of hair as he heard rustling in the bushes where Adam and Richard were. He turned his head, but then shrugged as Adam and Richard froze and he went off to the cafeteria. "Oh great..." Richard said, "Ben had lunch now." "So do we," Adam hissed, rolling his eyes and knocking Richard on the head. Richard wasn't exactly the quickest of the two. The two hopped out of the bushes and followed Ben after he had left the area.
"Are you sure he won't gain like 600 pounds after he eats while he is 'silently gaining?" Richard asked nervously ; "I am positive that there won't be six times more of him after he consumes something, but come on we are going to loose him, because it looks busy in there and I am starving" Adam replied; Richard and Adam made their way into the cafeteria, waiting in line for the vending machine. "So this is going to be really funny when the sun sets" Richard stated; "I know he is going to be huge" Adam said sarcastically "Maybe he will like his sudden gain in weight he will want to be fattened even more".; Richards face lit up with he heard Adams suggestion.
Ben prefered not to eat the cafeteria food, for health reasons. It was much better to eat a bunch of candy bars than it was to eat the mold infested salad, or of course the chili where fingers turned up frequently. Ben had gotten some chips from the vending machine, along with a pile of Milky Ways and twinkies. Sure, he ate junk food, but he had measured his metabolism before and he could tell by his calculations, he wasn't going to gain a pound. Adam and Richard watched as Ben shoved a candy bar into his mouth with a bony, pipe-cleaner like arm.
"Wow, he really needs to eat a lot of food, he is a stick," Adam grimaced "He needs like cheeseburgers and those poutine things, that have the fries smothered with cheese curds and gravy, that will fatten him up for sure" : "Or give him a heart attack" Richard joked.
As Ben finished up, disposed his many wrappers in the trash bin, he hurried off to his next class- PreCalculus. Adam and Richard were able to get a good look at him as he passed through the double doors.
Adam and Richard saw that Ben's body looked a bit heavier than before, it had looked like there was a 10 pound gain on him but in a few hours things will be much bigger for the poor kid.
