Ashley and the other girls carried eat their low calorie salads, while Kimberly was already finished. She had gotten through her meal much faster than usual, and Ashley guessed that this might be a side effect of the weight gain serum she had slipped into the salad. An increased appetite would certainly help to speed things along...
"Ugh..." Kimberly groaned. "That salad is making my stomach feel weird. Maybe you guys should have it a miss..."
Ashley smiled to herself and kept looking down at her plate so as not to reveal anything. "Nothing wrong with mine," she said.
"Mine either, I feel fine," said Amber.
"Are you sure? I wouldn't want everybody getting sick...we can't afford to get out of shape," Kimberly said sternly.
"Maybe you should just ate it too fast?" Trixie suggested.
Kimberly glared at her. "What are you trying to say, Trixie?"
"Oh um...nothing Kimberly...just a suggestion," Trixie said nervously, backing off immediately.
"You do look a little bloated," Rosaline dared to say.
"I do NOT!" Kimberly screeched, but when she looked down at her stomach, she gasped.
"What is it?" Ashley asked, trying her best to sound concerned.
"Nothing..." said Kimberly. "I'll see you all later, I've got things to do."
And with that, Kimberly stood up and marched out of the cafeteria as the other girls gave each other confused looks. Ashley simple smiled, everything seemed to be going as planned, and much quicker than expected.
...
Kimberly exited the cafeteria in a hurry and headed for the girls changing rooms near the gym. Although she hadn't mentioned it to the other girls, when she had looked down, she had seen her stomach looking rather bloated - and for a cheerleader of her status, that would be pretty embarassing to be seen with. Her apparently sudden fullness was a mystery to her, and she didn't have a clue how her belly had gotten so full just from eating one salad. She hadn't been eating anything differently lately...so perhaps this had nothing to do with food.
Kimberly wasn't sure why her stomach had expanded, but she knew she would need to conceal it from the other girls and students. She headed for the girls changing rooms, which were empty at lunch time, and pulled up her tight tank top to reveal her bloated stomach.
"What the hell?" She asked herself in shock.
She looked like she had eaten a full meal rather than a salad, and with her top pulled up she was sure her belly had gotten a little bigger since leaving the cantine. She poked at her stomach, expecting it to be hard and bloated and full - but instead her fingers sank slightly into it. She pulled them back in alarm and quickly gave her exposed midriff another poke...it felt...flabby.
"Impossible..." Kimberly told herself. "This is impossible..."
She couldn't be putting on weight, she was always so careful about what she ate, and had the best body in school. How could this have happened? She continued to rub her puffy stomach to make sure it was real, and decided that she needed to get out of here before anyone saw her. The girls already thought she was feeling unwell, so all she had to day was go home sick. Then make her next move and try and get rid of this newfound flab.
