The Deal
| You'd never think to look at me now that I used to be a skinny little kid. It all started as a simple deal between two kids in the school lunch room... I'm mindin' my own business, waitin' in the lunch line at school when this real fat kid, Berry, comes up to me and says, "Hey, Joey. How 'bout I trade my lunch for your lunch money. Then you won't have to stand in line or nuthin'?" I ask him how come he want's to trade his lunch and he explains that his mom is a great cook and he's trying to lose weight but if he starts eating her cooking he won't be able to stop till he eats the whole thing. I hate waiting in line so I figure, sure, why not. So I give Berry my lunch money and he gives me his lunch. I go sit down and start in eating. Man! he wasn't kidding either. Home made lassania and this great italian bread and this big thermos of chocolate milk. I'm about half finished and getting pretty full when Barry waddles over with his tray of school slop. He sits down next to me and starts picking at the tasteless food in his plate. He takes a bite and looks at me. "Joey, you ain't stoppin' are you? You gotta eat the whole thing or I'll eat it and man! I can't lose any weight if I do." So, I let my belt out a notch and try my best to finish it off. Finally I finish, Berry is finished too. I am so stuffed though I can barely get up. This goes on every day. I've noticed that as the days go by, it gets easier to finish Berry's lunch. Infact I'm getting to where I'm looking forward to it. No telling what great food his mom has fixed. One day toward the end of the first month Berry proudly announces, "Joey! I lost 5 pounds! First time I ever lost! Thanks, man." And me? I'd gained 5 pounds. I wasn't not fat or anything but just not the skinny stick I was. My ribs didn't show anymore and there is just the slightest lapover at my waist. Then I start noticing that it seems like the lunches are getting bigger. I ask Berry about it and he says, "Mom, finally noticed I'd lost weight and got worried that I wasn't getting enough to eat. So, she's started packing me bigger lunches. But a deal's a deal, Joey. " So, just to help out my friend and so as not to go back on my deal, I kept eating Berry's lunch. It was hard at first, but then after a while I'd just sit down and stuff my face as fast as I could and just keep on till I was finished. Seems like just eating took a lot longer now and I didn't have too much time afterwards to go out and play but I didn't miss it much. The food was so good and Berry would always sit there with me after he'd finished his lunch and keep me company. Things were going great. Berry was losing. Down ten pounds more. Pretty soon he'd be able to see his feet for the first time in who knows when. And me? I'd put on another 10 and was starting to get a belly and the start of tits. But that was ok, no body make fun of me cause my ribs showed anymore for sure. Then one day, near the start of the third month, Berry started gaining again. I asked him what was the deal and he said, "Mom is really worried now. She's started making my dinners bigger. She won't let me leave the table till I clean my plate either. So, I desided to just let you keep your lunch money and just not eat lunch at all." So I ended up with his lunches and my lunch money too. I didn't want to give up eating his mom's good food. Not and go back to school food. But if I ate Berry's lunch, I had to eat the whole thing so he wouldn't eat it. He started losing again and I kept gaining. But what was I going to do with that extra money? I don't know why but I used it to buy candy after school. So then I really gained weight. By the end of the third month, I'd gained another 15 pounds. I had a real grocery gut that stuck out over my belt. Infact Berry and I were about the same size now. But even though Berry hadn't gained any this month, he hadn't lost any either. I asked him how come since he wasn't eating anything at all for lunch. He told me, "Mom has got really worried about me and now she has a snack waiting for me when I come in from school. I have to eat it all up before she will let me go play and every night before bed she fixes me another snack." I guess he could see my eyes glaze over and my mouth start watering as he told me about those snacks because he said, "Hey Joey, why don't you spend the weekend at my house. I can show you some of the cool new video games I got and you can sample mom's snacks." As soon as Berry's mom saw me, she started feeding me. Big chocolate chip cookies and chocolate milk right after school. A sack of chips and dip while we played video games. And then dinner! Roast, mashed potatos and the world's best gravy, corn on the cob with real butter, fresh baked bread... I had hardly finished firsts when she was piling on seconds. It was the best food I'd ever eaten in my life. I think though I'd have died if I hadn't sort of worked up to it eating all Berry's lunches at school. And then dessert! A huge chunk of apple pie and real ice cream on top. I don't know how I got up from the table. My gut was swollen like a beach ball and hanging way over my belt. But somehow me and Berry waddled to his room. He let me borrow some of his old sweats cause there was no way I could fit in my pj's. I don't know how much buttered popcorn and pop I put away while we watched tv but when his mom came in at 11:30 to tell us to turn it off and go to sleep she had two great big glasses full of chocolate shake. I just knew I would bust but I sure didn't want Berry to have to drink both so I just sat there on his bed leaning back on a couple pillows rubbing my belly with one hand as I drank down all the milk shake. I don't even need to tell you about breakfast the next morning but after that weekend Berry's mom started packing two lunches. One for Berry and one for me. Since I was getting so fat, Berry desided to quit trying to lose weight and then we could both just see how fat we could get on his mom's good cooking....
