August 28th, 2020: Move In Day

The semester came to a close a week after Megan's victorious weigh-in, with Megan taking four finals and Amy taking five. Both girls didn't get higher than a C on any of their exams, their focus clearly being more on their next semester rather than the current one. Overall, the giant distraction that was Megan's diet didn't prove to be too destructive to their GPAs.

But even though Megan's parents are easily talked down from any bad grades she has, Amy's parents aren't as lenient. Amy was forced to take a Summer class solely to help her GPA, and was given the ultimatum of either getting straight A's, or having to pay for college herself, something her parents were currently doing for her. Despite her now being 19 years old and somewhat independent while at NEP, Amy's parents still helicopter, now worse than ever, whenever she's home. And unfortunately with Megan living over three hours away in Connecticut, that meant that the girls had to be separated for a long three and a half months.

They kept their friendship up with the usual; texting about their own family drama, memes, but even more importantly, food. This helped both of their Summers go by quickly. And while Amy took a Summer class, Megan worked 12 hours a week at her parents' convenience store, attending the cash register for three hours a day, four days a week. But having an extra person worth of weight on her body made the job much more difficult than it was the Summer before, and Megan eventually whined her way into only working three days a week by the beginning of July.

But the Summer, while dragging at first, winded down quickly in August as both of the girls spent a week packing their parents' cars full to the brim with all of the things they could possibly need for their brand new apartment in Thill.

"I still can't believe you were able to get an apartment like this as a sophomore sweetie! And it was all luck?" Megan's mom asked her as they wrapped up their long drive back to NEP, finally less than ten minutes away.

"Yeah believe it or not we just tried to select it on the housing application and it worked. We like couldn't believe our eyes," Megan said, lying through her teeth.

"Really I would've been more inclined to believe Amy sweet talked her way into it. I've only met her a few times now, but she has more charisma in one finger than I do in my whole body!" Megan chuckled to herself, thinking about how her mom was technically right; Amy did convince Megan to gain over 150 pounds after all.

"She's the best. I can't wait to see her," Megan said happily.

"How was the Summer for her? I know her parents were super strict on her so I'm sure she's gonna be relieved to relax with you finally. She still working out a lot?"

"Oh," Megan thought. "She actually never mentioned it. I'm not sure."

"Well there's really no use in talking about exercise with someone in the Lisowski family, right?" Megan's mom chuckled as she took another gulp from her soda she got when the family stopped at Burger King several miles back.

"Thank god I don't have to worry about stairs this year," Megan said with a sigh of relief. Seeing her mom consistently again over the Summer made her remember how open she could be about her weight.

"I'm telling you sweetie, this extra weight is a good look for you! I'm just jealous that you can eat all of that good food all you want, I might have to crash on your couch now that you have this fancy apartment! I want that dining hall diet!"

Megan couldn't help but smile every single time her mom reaffirmed her weight. "Any time Mom, you're always welcome!"

Meanwhile at Thill, Amy was already almost unpacked, arriving promptly at 11am when move-in was allowed to begin. "I think that's everything, mom," Amy said putting away the rest of her groceries in the kitchen cabinets.

"Let's see now..." Amy's mom walked up to the cabinets to take a peak. "What in god's name... Oreos? Doritos? Amy all of this junk!" She looked disgusted. "Where are the raisins and apricots I gave you?"

Amy rolled her eyes, "right here ma," she said pulling them out of the back of a drawer she stuffed them into. "I got them right here."

"Just because you live in a college apartment doesn't mean you need to stuff it with fat. Though I am happy you can get out of that cramped room. Two girls can barely fit in one of those things, let alone..." Amy gave her mom a harsh look as her voice trailed off, before she referenced her roommate's large size. "Well we better get going. Everything seems to be unpacked, and we still need to get to Mike's for a late lunch. Take care of yourself sweetie," Amy's mom said as she gave her daughter a half-hearted hug.

"Bye sis," Amy's quiet twin Abby said as she wrapped her arms around her sister. Ironically as Megan gained weight over the last year, Abby spent her freshman year losing almost 50 pounds, and was finally the rail thin girl her parents always wanted her to be.

"Goodbye," Amy said snarkily as her family walked out and closed the door. "Finally..." Amy said as she happily looked at her new apartment she had been longing for. She quickly went to the cabinet and brushed aside the healthy snacks her mom gave her, grabbing the pack of Oreos she had her mind set on since she put them away. "Now where's my Megan..." Amy asked herself as she ate a cookie.

"Hellooooooo!" Megan said in a giddy, sing-song voice as she unlocked the door to Thill 102 for the first time with her own key.

"Megan!!!!!" Amy screamed from the other room. "One second, I'm in the bathroom!"

"Wow, amazing timing Amy!" Megan said laughing. Her face was more lit up and excited than it had gotten all Summer (save for a few amazing dinners she had).

The toilet flushed and almost immediately Megan heard footsteps run from the other room, until finally the girls were face-to-face for the first time in nearly four months. "Amy!!!!!" Megan squealed. But quickly her eyes widened from excitement to amazement. "Amy?"

Amy stood proudly in front of Megan, still a tall 5'8" but now sporting a rounded face, even thicker thighs, and a pudgy stomach almost rivaling Megan's from their first semester. "Something different girl?" Amy said with a smirk.

Megan immediately ran over and hugged her best friend, the two now creating one ball of fat. "What happened to you you fat ass?!" Megan said laughing.

"Well I just missed feeding you so much! I uhh, I needed someone to occupy my time. And with my sister now being a total health nut... I'll tell you about that later, I figured why not work on my winter body? Besides, if you gained 160 pounds to get us here, I might as well gain a few to show support too, right?"

"Oh I love you," Megan said giddily. "You look amazing! Oh my god, I can't wait to pig out with you now. I'm not gonna lie, having you just feed me is fun, but actually eating with someone else sounds much better." The two girls laughed hysterically for a bit.

"And what about you? You haven't gotten any skinnier," Amy chuckled. Megan's gaining finally got a break over the Summer, with no more 7am wake-up calls to eat her first of many breakfasts, no more mandatory milkshakes every hour on the hour, but that doesn't mean her gaining stopped. Because while she didn't have NEP Bucks and dining halls to satisfy her hunger, she did have fast food and home-cooked meals. And a lot of both. At 200 pounds last year and at over 360 pounds this year, Megan was still her mom's 'growing little girl' and got whatever she wanted to eat, night after night all Summer. And it showed. The change wasn't as drastic as it was last semester, but everything on Megan's body did look just a bit bigger.

"Girls are you in here?" Megan's mom yelled, walking through the entrance of the apartment.

"I brought the scale, we can have some fun later," Amy whispered. "We're here Mrs. Lisowski!"

"Oh there you are! Oh my Amy look at you, you look so healthy!" Megan's mom warmly embraced Amy as she gave her a big hug right back. Enjoying how it felt, for just a moment, to have your weight accepted by a parent.

"And I just thought 'if I was able to eat a whole pizza tonight, I could probably do it every night!' And then I ended up getting fat as fuck this Summer," Amy said later that night as her and Megan were hanging out in their newly decorated, newly set up living room. The girls were drinking white wine and celebrating their homecoming with pizzas and cheesy bread. And for the first time in their friendship, Amy was pigging out almost as much as Megan was.

"Wow I finally have a fat friend, I'm still processing this." Megan took a bite out of a loaf of cheesy bread, not even bothering to rip it apart like you're supposed to. "And not only do I have a fat friend, it's you! Is it possible to be even more best friends with you now?"

"Oh what skinny me wasn't good enough?" Amy joked as she took a bite out of a slice of pizza, grease dripping onto her exposed stomach that her tight tank top was riding up on.

"I just still can't believe how we got this place. I still can't believe I'm this size sometimes! Oh did I tell you about whe-"

"Hold that thought!" Amy interrupted. "The scale! Weigh-in time! For old time sake?"

Megan's eyes lit up as she pulled her heavy body out of the new recliner her parents bought just for the apartment. It was a special wide-framed one that even Megan's giant body didn't quite fill out, but unfortunately that made it even harder to get her heavy body out of it. "Wait, do we have any ice cream?!" Megan said excitedly, remembering their old weigh-in ritual.

"Check the fridge." Amy smiled as she put down the scale. Megan stomped over to their freezer to find a half-gallon of Oreo ice cream, unopened and ready for devouring.

"You really think of everything Amy." Megan brought the giant container over along with two spoons. And, just as she did in her dorm last year, Megan stripped down to her bra and underwear to get the most accurate representation of what her massive body weighed. But instead of Amy watching, she joined in, doing the same and, for the first time ever, exposing Megan to her own flabby, growing body.

"You ready to do this?" Amy said with a smile.

"You first. Let me weigh you!" Megan excitedly grabbed Amy's notebook and pen, ready to start a new chapter in their fat journey. "I still can't believe how fat you look," Megan said wistfully.

"Here we go! Oh my god I haven't even weighed myself in months." Amy looked giddy for excitement, finally getting her first weigh-in as a fat girl. She took one big spoonful of ice cream and stepped on the scale, nearly shaking from excitement.

"One hundred and ninety-two point two pounds," the scale read.

"Holy shit I'm fat!" Amy exclaimed, squishing her fat stomach together. She smiled and hugged Megan as her weight was recorded in the book. "Now you!"

"Oh Amy... only 192 pounds? I bet if you tried you could get to 200 by the end of next week."

"Oh you wanna do this fatty? Let's do it. Get on the scale," Amy said with a competitive face on.

The girls both eagerly waited to see how fat Megan got over the Summer. If her tight bra and ripping underwear were any indication, it's more than just a few pounds.

"Three hundred and eighty four point six pounds." Megan's eyes widened.

"Almost four hundred, almost four hundred!" she sang, the wine she drank earlier finally starting to hit her. "Jesus Christ I'm huge."

"I'm so proud," Amy said in a fake crying voice. "You gained over 20 pounds without me. The student has spread her wings."

"Oh please, if I had wings they wouldn't be able to lift me an inch." Amy laughed so hard wine almost squirted out of her nose.

"So what," Amy said calming down. "You're gonna get to 400, I'll get to 200. Game on?"

"Hold on fatty, hold on. I gained more weight than some people should even weigh last year, I don't know if I can do this competitive gaining right now," Megan said as she continued eating her loaf of cheesy bread.

"So you don't wanna..." Amy said trailing off, with a fake pouty face on.

"Now let me finish! I'm not gonna try to reach anything this year. I just can't wait to see how much weight I'm gonna gain... without trying," Megan said dreamily. "Isn't that how a real fat girl is supposed to be? Just wake up one day and be like 'oops I gained 10 pounds'?"

"Ahem!" Amy interrupted. "How much weight WE'RE going to gain is what you mean!" The girls both smiled big. "Well I don't care if we're trying to gain or not, the only thing I know is that this wine and pizza deal is gonna be happening a lot more often now that we have our own living room to get huge in. Now pass me one of those loaves of cheesy bread, I'm feeling fat."
