BBW (Multiple), Intrigue, Psychology, ~SWG - High school politics gets pretty intense when the cheerleaders and chubby chicks mix it up.
CHAPTER SIX: UNRAVELING: REGINA’S BIRTHDAY PARTY AND MORE:
Regina was dressed more modest than usual in a black blouse and designer jeans, her hair looked sharp, but just combed back. Sitting on the couch with her hands folded on her lap, Regina bit her lip and wondered, “Where are they?”
The party was supposed to start at seven and so far the only guest to arrive was Cady.
It just happened to be zeroing in at eight o’clock, and Regina was a wreck. She got off the couch and began to pace the hard wooden floor, checking with Cady for the right time. Cady glanced over her watch; “It’s ten minutes to eight.”
Cady comforted Regina with mock concern, knowing all along that nobody else was going to attend Regina’s birthday party.
Cady noticed Regina’s deflated ego meshing well with her rejection and decided to push the envelope further, “That’s a beautiful cake, save me a slice, okay?”
Regina couldn’t imagine celebrating her birthday alone, “You’re leaving?”
Cady walked over to the hall closet and removed her jacket, “Actually my mother asked me to help her grade some papers. Originally I turned her down, but since there’s not going to be much of a party, I’ll give her a hand.”
Regina moved towards Cady and actually pleaded with her to stay, “At least stay and have a slice of cake with me before you go.”
Cady pretended to show a little interest, “Oh wow. Well, maybe. That cake does look delicious. That sweet looking frosting and it’s chocolate, right?”
Regina nodded, “Yeah it’s chocolate, you’ll love it.”
Regina proceeded to slice the cake, but Cady chose otherwise. “Actually I better go, my mother needs all the help she can get.”
Cady slipped on her jacket and made tracks towards the door, “But save me a slice, okay?”
Regina sampled the frosting with her finger; “Do you really have to go?”
Cady nodded her reply and Regina walked her to the door. “I wish I knew why everyone’s avoiding me?”
Regina asked. Cady shrugged her shoulders, “I haven’t a clue? Are you sure everyone knew about the party?”
Regina returned to her true colors and snapped, “Of course everyone knew about my party!”
Cady shrugged her shoulders; “Maybe you’re just not all that popular.”
Regina stood there with a confused expression on her beautiful face as Cady made her exit. Slowly Regina maneuvered herself towards the table and mumbled to herself while slicing off a small piece of cake, “I’ll just have this small slice then take a shower.”
Using a paper napkin as a plate, Regina scooped up the tiny slice and nibbled slowly. Patting her tummy, Regina surmised one more slice couldn’t hurt and treated herself to another slice of cake. This slice wasn’t much bigger than the first and she polished it off while walking towards the bathroom. Regina licked her fingers, then began unbuttoning her blouse when it occurred to her, “Some milk would be nice.”
Upon entering the kitchen, Regina helped herself to a generous glass of whole milk, ignoring the skim milk in the process. Following a mighty gulp, Regina returned to the dining and this time sliced herself a hearty slice of cake. Once she devoured that slice, in record time, Regina then headed off to the shower.
MEANWHILE: Cady returned home where she discovered Starling and Ellie waiting for her. Cady grinned as she picked up the notebook and with a black magic marker drew a line through the sentence that Ellie wrote, Regina’s Clique.”
Starling looked towards Cady, barely able to contain her giggling, “It went well?”
Cady sat down between her friends on the sofa, “Better than expected. Nobody showed up.”
BACK AT REGINA’S HOME: After her shower, Regina tried phoning several of her friends, though the only person she reached was Karen. Karen wished Regina a happy birthday and explained her reason for standing her up.
“Oh I forgot. I thought it was next Saturday, have fun anyways”, Karen told Regina before hanging up. Karen was actually with Gretchen and a few other of the cheerleaders at another social event.
Regina’s body language said it all. Her head lowered, her smileless face and her hunched over posture. Tightening the belt of her bathrobe, Regina placed herself at the table and sliced off another chunk of cake. She puffed up her cheeks and exhaled with a timid sigh before beginning to eat. That chunk of cake didn’t last long. Chewing the last bite, Regina sliced off another piece and devoured it just as fast.
Regina paused long enough to pour herself another glass of whole milk, then enjoyed an even bigger slice. Loosening the cotton belt that was wrapped around her waist, Regina wiped her fingers on the bathrobe, then polished off what was left of the cake. Regina chewed loudly, smacking her lips as she consumed the final portion of cake.
Grabbing the glass of milk, Regina washed down the cake with one mighty chug. Moving at a snail’s pace, Regina retired to her bedroom and plopped down on the mattress so hard, the entire bed shook! Regina looked up at the ceiling and within an hour was asleep.
That very next Monday, Cady and company began the next part of their revenge; getting Regina booted off the squad. The first step was simple and put into action early that morning. Cady made her opinion known to Gretchen and Karen that Regina looked like she was carrying a little extra weight. Cady also reminded the girls about their policy concerning the most a cheerleader could weigh.
“You think Regina weighs more than our limit?”, Gretchen asked with a big smile.
Cady didn’t want to seem too eager to see Regina bounced off the squad and replied with a question, “You mean the 130-mark? If not, she’s close.”
The second step was getting the girls to suggest having a weigh in. Although they liked the idea, Gretchen surmised it wouldn’t work. “Our coach isn’t concerned about how much we weigh, Ms. Lopez is only interested in how well we perform.”
Cady needed to soft soap the plastics into the idea, “Even if someone doesn’t look fit? She doesn’t mind having an out of shape cheerleader out on the field?”
The girls looked at each other with puzzled expressions. Karen shrugged her shoulders, “I suppose if someone had a big gut and flabby thighs? I guess Ms. Lopez might make her step on the scale?”
That was all Cady needed to hear.
“Then make sure Ms. Lopez get a look at Regina after showers,” Cady grinned.
The last step was the most difficult, but Cady took the chance. Knowing before hand Regina’s choice in underwear, while the cheerleaders were all in the shower, Cady snuck into Regina’s locker and replaced her panties with one of the same brand but with a smaller size. Cady made it back to her post just in time and handed out the towels as the cheerleaders left the showers.
Biting her lip to prevent herself from smiling, Cady watched as Regina struggled to put on her underwear. The cotton briefs were extremely tight and deliciously exaggerated the size of her tummy pouch. The fabric exposed the natural circular shape of her belly, causing it to ride over the waistband with a tiny roll over her hips. Her upper thighs look a little beefy as well, since the underwear dug deep into her skin.
Tiffany Harker was the first to notice with a giggle that drew attention to a few of the other girls. Nicole Chase glanced over Regina’s backside and chuckled at the way her butt cheeks squished together, “Not missing any desserts?”
Regina’s face turned red in humiliation and nervously smiled, “They fit okay this morning, must be some water weight?”
Tiffany purred, “Yeah right, after the way you huffed and puffed out on the field.”
Regina slipped on her T-shirt, “I wasn’t huffing and puffing!”
Karen and Gretchen approached Regina just as she covered the up the rest of her figure with her jeans.
“How much do you weigh?”, Gretchen diligently asked.
Combing back her damp hair, Regina turned away from Gretchen, “None of your business.”
Tiffany stepped in closer to the queen, “It’s your rule; you have to follow it as well.”
Regina barked that it was a stupid rule, only to hear someone from the back, “Now it’s a stupid rule!”
Sitting down on the bench in front of her locker, Regina saw the other cheerleaders gather around her, “I don’t weigh that much.”
Cady acted on cue and going unnoticed, invited Ms. Lopez to the locker room. Ms. Angela Lopez was a twenty-something-young lady who looked more like a student than a teacher. Petite with curly black hair and a down right gorgeous face, Ms. Lopez heeded Cady’s lie about the cat fight occurring in the locker room. Sharon Colbert had just made a crude joke concerning Regina’s fear of the scale when Ms. Lopez entered the scene.
“Are we having a disagreement of some kind?”, Ms. Lopez questioned the cheerleaders.
Gretchen shook her head; “Regina looks like she maxxed out on our limit and won’t check her weight.”
Ms. Lopez walked through the crowd that hovered over Regina.
Ms. Lopez tilted her head and glanced over Regina’s figure, “Are you sure? She looks fine to me.”
Tiffany folded her arms over her breasts, “It isn’t fair to the other girls who wanted to join the squad, but were too heavy.”
Gretchen concurred and brought up Starling Adams, despite the fact she was the one to black ball her in the first place. Ms. Lopez looked over the cheerleaders and knew that there was only one way to settle this, “Go ahead Regina, stand on the scale. I’m sure you’ll do okay.”
Cady had first planned to rig the scale using a screwdriver to pull up the numbers, but decided against it in case someone else was forced to weigh themselves for comparison. However, knowing full well how Regina’s appetite grew under stress, she was sure Regina’s weight would have increased by now. Regina grumbled under her breath and with the other cheerleaders tailing behind, she stepped on the scale.
Ms. Lopez lifted her eyebrows and half-smiled, “131-pounds.”
The room filled with giggles and Tiffany coo’d, “See ya.”
A wide-eyed Regina looked over to Ms. Lopez who brushed her hand gently across the side of Regina’s face; “It’s not much. You deserve a little time to lose the weight.”
Gretchen’s mouth dropped, “What? You’re kidding?”
Ms. Lopez snapped back, “What if it was you? Anyone of you could gain a few pounds. It’s only fair to give Regina a break.”
Regina grinned, “Thanks Ms. Lopez.”
Among the disappointed looks in the crowd was Cady.
“Then I’ll have to turn to plan B”, Cady thought to herself. This meant Regina’s grade point average.
Surely, poor test scores would remove Regina from the squad and out of the popular clique. Cady stood near the doorway as the cheerleaders paraded out of the locker room, leaving Regina behind. Ms. Lopez soon followed, but not before cordially lecturing Regina about watching the calories and using her will power.
Regina slammed her locker shut, “They’re so jealous of me!”
Noticing Cady, Regina slipped her book bag over her shoulder, “What are you looking at? So my underwear must have shrunk, what’s the big deal?”
Cady patronized Regina, “Okay, sure.”
Not appreciating the sound of Cady’s voice, Regina stormed out of the locker room, “Who cares what you think!”
Cady picked up all the discarded towels and dumped them in the hamper, all the while thinking about plan B. In the mean time, before leaving school, Cady made sure plenty of photographs of a chubby, 12-year old Regina mysteriously found their way on several of the school’s bulletin boards.
Various students greeted Regina with to a variety of chuckles, smiles and comments.
“Gee Regina, how heavy were you?”, Chuck Robertson asked.
Regina flipped back her mane, not having a clue about what he was talking about; “I’ve never been all that heavy.”
Chuck, who just happen to be the latest guy Regina was interested in and as shallow as they come, pointed over to her photograph on the bulletin board.
The snapshot displayed a very pudgy looking Regina dressed in a T-shirt and shorts while enjoying an ice cream cone. Regina screamed as she ripped the photo off the board!
Chuck’s face supported a worried look, “You don’t think you’ll get fat again?”
Regina swung her head from side to side, “No way.”
Chuck glanced over Regina’s figure, then excused himself, “Got to run, see ya.”
Regina rolled her eyes and wandered around school, destroying every photograph she found. But it was too late, for the jeers continued.
“Hey Regina, nice pic. Have a taste for ice cream?”, Tiffany asked.
Sharon rattled Regina with a jolly; “No wonder you’re on a strict diet or you’d be a moose.”
Cady was all set for Regina’s ill mood and put plan B into effect.
“Wow, some people can be so insensitive,” Cady told Regina that afternoon right after school.
Regina was bewildered by Cady’s kindness, “Yeah, I can see where your coming from, but why are you being so nice to me?”
Cady followed through as planned, “Remember; someone played the same dirty trick on me?”
Of course Regina remembered, because she was the one who played that dirty trick.
“Um, yeah.”
Cady showed mock concern, “Only a real jerk would play such a terrible prank.”
Regina just shook her head. Cady and Regina took a path through the parking lot where Cady continued to improve her friendship with Regina by complimenting her. It was important for Cady to regain Regina’s trust to make plan B work.
However, Cady couldn’t resist paying Regina an insult compliment, “Those snapshots weren’t half bad anyways, it’s not like you’re still 200-pounds.”
Regina stopped in her tracks, “Huh? I looked like I weighed 200-pounds?”
Cady pretended to be unsure, but knew all along Regina never weighed that much, “Yeah, I guess so.”
Regina’s hand roamed over her belly, “I never weighed more than 150-pounds.”
Cady knew Regina was lying. The pictures showed Regina at least 170. Cady decided to have a little fun, “Wow, only 150-pounds? You look much larger in the photo’s, I mean, you were huge!”
Regina began to pick up her pace, nervously replying, “Can we please change the subject?”
Now that Cady had Regina discussing her weight, she couldn’t ignore the subject because it was directly related to plan B. Cady and Regina crossed the street and as they were about to part company, Cady inquired about Regina’s diet and her next weigh in.
Regina snapped, “It’s this Friday if you really must know.”
Cady took a step back and scrutinized Regina’s figure, “How’s the dieting coming along?”
Regina took a deep breath, “It’s tough, very tough, but I weighed myself this morning and dropped almost a pound and a half.”
Regina curiously squinted, “Why do you even care?”
Cady informed the queen that she cared because Regina accepted her into the popular clique which made her popular by association. She felt bad about someone pulling a prank on her and that she wanted to keep being her friend.
Of course Cady wasn’t telling the truth, but she needed to string Regina along. Regina grinned, “Okay, I see. Too bad you weren’t so pudgy, you do have style and could have made it on the squad.”
Cady insidiously smiled, “Thank you for the compliment. I think I know a way that might keep your appetite in check.”
Regina was keen on the idea and took up Cady’s invitation to her home where she had something for Regina to use.
