Fat Bully (Fat Friday 7.26)

“Well kid - you know the drill, fork it over”

The bully has stopped you again for your lunch.

In the past you were friends, the two school outcasts, you’d gladly share your lunch with him. But once, after not sharing a delicious, home cooked burger for lunch, things changed.

He started shying away from you, leaving you more isolated, eventually you caved and started sharing again, but he’d end up eating the rest of it . Then he’d started to get bolder, asking for a bite as soon as the lunchbox opened and finishing the entire meal. It’s not like he needed it anyway. He often had his own big lunch and he’d take all of yours just because he could.

As the months passed, the double lunches only made the bullying worse. The extra meals made him start to grow bigger and more bold. He’d start asking you for more than just lunch, and with his added heft he began to easily push you around if you didn’t give him what he wanted.

Now, the handing over of lunch was routine. He’d stop you before lunch break even began.

“What did you bring for me today puny?” He’d insult you, pointing out your thin frame as you sheepishly handed over your lunch.

“Is that all?” He whined seeing just a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and chips in the lunchbox.

“You can do better than this little guy, you’ve been slacking, I want you to bring me a full pizza tomorrow” he barked, leaning in, his fat belly now pushing into you and pinning you against the wall.

“Or else, I’m gonna steal your gym clothes when you’re showering - and let all the guys at school see what a little twig you are- got it?”

With his big, heavy belly pinning you up on the wall you had no other choice then to nod along.”

“BUUURP- good” he blows the burp in your face just to add insult- and leans back letting you free.

His clan of chubby friends who he has amassed as a result of his rude ways laugh at you as you scurry off to lunch break again without lunch.

You know you’ll do better to satisfy him again tomorrow with that pizza.
