The next day, I had a hard time fitting into my pants. The only things I could wear were spandex bicycle shorts. Every shirt I had was too small for me as well.
Oh, well, I thought. I guess I could wear a tank top.
As I got dressed, I came downstairs to find Jack eating a bowl of Cheerios.
"Ewwww!!!!" he said sarcastically when he saw me.
Even though my tank top barely fit over my large belly, I did look disgusting.
"Do Mom and Dad know about this?" I asked.
"I haven't told them anything," Jack replied.
Before I could say anything else, we heard a knock at the door.
"I've gotta hide!" I exclaimed. "It could be either Mom or Dad!"
I ducked behind the couch as Jack went to answer the door.
"Oh, hey," I heard a familiar voice. "Is Gavin here?"
It wasn't Mom or Dad. It was Lilly. What would she say if she saw my now fat body? I thought.
I had to risk it. I stood up and walked around the sofa to meet her. Upon seeing me, she let out a stifled chuckle.
"Are you okay?" she asked. "I wanted to see if we could go to the carnival, but I see you look different from yesterday when I saw you at Dino Burger."
She looked down at my bare belly and poked at it. It felt real to her, so she pinched it.
"Ouch!" I exclaimed.
"Sorry," Lilly said. "That is real. I thought it was a trick."
"Could I have a moment with my brother?" I asked.
Jack and I went into the kitchen and had a private moment.
"If Lilly and I go to the carnival," I told him. "Maybe you could come with us. You could be my wingman. Think of it: all that food at the carnival and my body, I could get fatter."
Jack thought for a moment, finally he spoke, "I'm in!"
We returned to the living room where Lilly was waiting for us.
"I'll go," he said. "Jack will be my wingman."
"Oh," Lilly said. "I guess that's brotherly love to you."
She leaned towards me and brushed my goatee. She must really like me, I thought.
