Chapter 5

*March 5th, Sunday*


Lexi looked at herself in the mirror hopelessly as she was set to head out to work, getting her work uniform on had been becoming an increased struggle, but today she had to face reality. Lexi's trousers looked ready to rip at the seams and buttoning her shirt over her now DD cup breasts and growing belly was extremely difficult, it looked like if she breathed the wrong way her buttons would pop off, she needed a bigger uniform, and she needed it now. Lexi had already been ordering her clothes in the size up for about a week now but had been delaying getting a size up in her work clothes simply out of the embarrassment from needing to ask Kim.

*KNOCK KNOCK*


"COME IN", Kim called from inside her office.


"Hey Kim, would it be possible to get some size 10 pants and a size 8 shirt", Lexi asked sheepishly.


"Yes of course, you'll find some new ones in that box there, I'll get out of here and let you get changed", Kim said kindly, she had been wondering when Lexi was going to ask for a size up after watching her clothes getting tighter and tighter every week.


"Thanks Kim", Lexi replied.


Lexi got changed into the new size and immediately felt more comfortable, physically and mentally as she didn't look like she was stuffed into a sausage casing anymore. "I really got lose some weight", she sighed quietly to herself.


Kim imagined that Lexi needing to size up would have come as a bit of a wakeup call to her and she'd likely begin starving herself after realising how much weight she's gained, but as Kim was about to head out the door at 8pm, there was Lexi, sitting on her break with a cheeseburger and a half portion of nachos in front of her.


"See ya tomorrow Lexi", said Kim, as she walked by.


Lexi just smiled and waved in response as her mouth was full.


'Is that her attempt at cutting back, she normally has a double cheeseburger and she's made it a single, it's still over 800 calories for that alone and the half portion of nachos is another almost 900, I guess she didn't have a milkshake, but we'll see how long that lasts', Kim thought. Turns out it didn't last very long at all, just after Lexi's break she caved and ended up getting one to drink while she worked.


The next day Lexi was back to double cheeseburgers and was even getting fries along with the nachos, she had at first tried to resist the oreo shakes but soon realised it was a lost cause. She ended up drinking one every shift and actually drank two on her Thursday shift before she broke off for the weekend, one just before she started, and the other near the end of the night.

"Skylar why don't you ever come out with us?", asked Lexi, as she did her makeup for yet another Friday night frat party.


"I don't think you've ever asked me", laughed Skylar.


"HAVE I NOT?", replied Lexi, trying to sound surprised. Lexi knew fine well she hadn't asked Skylar to come out, and as much as she had grown to like her, the main reason Lexi had thought to ask her now, was so she looked skinnier next to her. Out of Lexi, Ally and Amber there was no doubt Lexi was still by far the most attractive of the three, even with her weight gain, behind her was then Ally, followed by Amber. The issue however, was that Ally and Amber were so slim, even with Ally gaining almost 20lbs putting her close to 140 at 5ft7, she arguably looked way better now down to how skinny she was before. Amber also gained a little weight, but she still didn't even weigh 130lbs and at 5ft8 she was a bean pole. When the three of them first started college Lexi was already the thicker girl, with her only being 5ft3 and a little heavier than both Ally and Amber, but since then her weight has just climbed and climbed to the point where she now blatantly stands out as chubby girl of the group. This is why she needed Skylar, Skylar would become the fat girl of the group and Lexi could stop sticking out like a sore thumb.


"I'm busy tonight anyways, got some drawings do for class, but next time for sure", said Skylar.


"No problem girl", smiled Lexi.

"I can't believe Amber wouldn't come tonight, all because she's studying for a quiz, a fucking quiz, like who the fuck cares honestly", laughed Ally.


"Such a bore, I asked Skylar to come out tonight too, but she's got 'drawings' to do", laughed Lexi, "she said she'd come out another time though, you guys will like her".


"Well, there's always tomorrow if we aren't too hungover from tonight, but I have a feeling we will be, LETS GET WASTED", yelled Ally over the music.


Lexi and Ally both did some shots together and got pretty drunk pretty fast, by 9pm Ally ended up disappearing upstairs with some guy, leaving Lexi on her own, snacking on some chips that were out on the table while drinking her drink.


"I really wish she'd stop eating so much", Ryan (a guy at the party) said to his friend as he watched Lexi from a distance.


"What are you talking about?", asked George, who was genuinely oblivious.


"Lexi... She's gained so much weight, I remember when I first saw her in my class, it was like seeing an angel, literally just a different breed of woman, it's sad to see her like this now", said Ryan.


"First off, Lexi's in your class? You've never mentioned it", George said sarcastically, "and secondly, how fucking high are you dude, she gained some weight yeah, but you're talking about her like she's on my 600lb life", laughed George.


"Okay, I am pretty high, but my point still stands".


"Dude, she could gain another 50lbs and still wouldn't give us a second look, she's stunning", George was actually a good looking guy, 6ft2, tanned with dark hair, he was just modest, Ryan on the other hand was the opposite, he could be an arrogant asshole and didn't have the looks to back it up, the only thing he had going for him was that he claimed to be 6 foot, but in actuality he was 5'11.


"Now who's high, we could get her right now", said Ryan.


"I will literally give you 100 bucks right now if you can get her number, she also looks pretty drunk as well so this should be easy", laughed George.


"You're on", replied Ryan, before confidently walking towards Lexi.


George watched on from a far, unable to hear what was said because of the music. After barely 30 seconds Ryan turned around and walked back.


"So... How'd it go?", asked George.


"Umm... Her phones broken right now", Ryan replied in a defeated tone.


"HAHAHA, WHAT DID I TELL YOU", George completely erupted into laughter at his friend's failure, meanwhile for Lexi, getting hit on by Ryan was the last straw for her so she decided to call it an early night rather than standing around on her own eating doritos, a quick stop by Burger King on the way back didn't sound like a bad idea though.

Lexi was faced with a bit of a surprise as she arrived back at her room, she opened the door to find Skylar on the couch in a pair of tight shorts and a bra, eating a pizza with her headphones on and her laptop on the table in front of her, "I'm so hungry tonight chat, I've only got one slice left but I want more", almost as soon as the sentence left her mouth she noticed the movement from Lexi in the corner of her eye, "uh sorry chat gotta end early today", Skylar reached forward to close her laptop in a slight panic.


She looked to Lexi, red faced and flustered, "Lexi... How come you're back so early?".
