"Perhaps I could eat every day," I suggested. "That could speed up the process."
"Gav, of all the times we've hung out," Jack said. "Helping you gain weight is something I want to be a part of."
I headed for the door, but then I stopped.
"But what if Mom and Dad find out?" I asked.
"Good point," Jack said.
Then an idea flashed into my mind.
"They're not going to find out," I said. "I could have my meals in another room."
"That sounds risky," Jack said. "Don't you have a lock on your bedroom door?"
"I could talk Dad into putting one on," I said.
"You do realize your 15th birthday is in 3 days?" Jack said.
"If Mom and Dad get suspicious," I said. "I could tell them it was an allergic reaction."
"You mean lie to them?" Jack said.
"It's just a little lie," I said. "Now let's see of we could find a restaurant with a large amount of food."
"There's the buffet at Dino Burger," Jack said. "You can make your own burger and they have a pasta bar as well."
"I like the sound of that!" I said. "Let's go! Once we're there, I can get you the milk and apple slices you like."
Dino Burger is not too far away. It's three blocks from where Dad works. He works as a newspaper journalist and Mom works at a law firm across the street from him. They won't know Jack and I went to Dino Burger behind their backs. Dino Burger even has an arcade with a lot of games. That should give Jack some time to wait while I gulp down large amounts of food to gain weight.
When we got to Dino Burger, I ordered those apple slices and milk I promised Jack and I had a huge buffet! I had 12 plates of pasta, 4 hamburgers, 6 cartons of fries, 10 vanilla milkshakes, 5 double cheeseburgers, etc. While I was eating, Jack was playing at the arcade in the back.
As I got up from the table, I could see my crush, Lilly, talking with the hottest guy in my school, Jonathan Perkins. He has his whole left arm covered in tattoos from shoulder to wrist, he has a bushy goatee, and he always has the bottom of his shirts cut off to show off his 6-pack abs. He looks like a surfer dude and to complete h is wardrobe, he wears a shark tooth necklace around his neck. All the girls in my school, including Lilly, have a crush on him.
I looked down saw my belly had grown in size! My shirt didn't fit well enough to cover it, which meant I was making process. I had to get Jack and we'd head home.
When we got home, the first thing I did was take off my shirt, leaving me in my cargo shorts.
"Let's see what we got here," Jack said.
I tapped the scale with my foot and then stepped on. I couldn't see the readings because my belly was blocking my view.
"Good news," Jack said. "You now weigh 250 pounds!"
"Yes!" I exclaimed, raising my fists in the air.
I brushed the fuzz on my upper lip in delight.
"This calls for a video game!" I announced. "Since you inspired me to gain weight, Jack, I'll let you pick the game."
Jack smiled. "How about we take turns on New Pokemon Snap?"
I enjoy helping Jack with some of the requests in that game. If he has trouble with one, I'd look up the solution on the internet and direct him through it.
What do we do the next day?
