This choice: Agree with Jen and keep it for herself. Maybe she DID deserve a treat or two... • Go Back...Chapter #6Temptations, Treats, and Tummy, Oh My! by: Unknown All of the arguing between Jen and Ashley was starting to stress Megan out quite a bit. Even though it was over such a trivial matter as throwing away sweets, it made Megan realize that something had to give, and she’d be responsible for whatever that was.
While Ashley was making a very good case about how unhealthy the treats could be, Megan was leaning a bit more towards Jen’s direction. It was true that during college, she did have a budget to keep mindful of, which spent her from spending much on food and treating herself. And really, what would one moment of treating herself do to her wasteline? It’s not as if she lacked dietary discipline, so one little binge wasn’t going to hurt her.
Looking down at all the food she had in the bag, Megan had to admit, Jen was entirely in the right for making her stop. The treats were given to her by her students, and it would be incredibly insensitive if the slim blonde just continued to dispose of them as if they were nothing. Not to mention, they all looked so good! Candy bars, caramel apples, muffins, lollipops, donuts, gum drops, you name it, it was probably in the bag. Just looking at all the delicacies made the art teacher’s mouth water.
Making up her mind, Megan steeled herself to face the music. After all, saying that she’d all that junk food in front of Coach Knight was tantamount to suicide. However, Megan had no desire to be a doormat, so she worked up the courage to stop the argument.
“Um, excuse me!” she said, causing both Jen and Ashley to stop squabbling as they turned their heads around to face her. Megan wouldn’t be too surprised if they nearly forgot about her presence during the heat of their debate.
“I’ve decided…” Megan began.
“That you’re not going to burst out of your clothes?” Ashley finished for her, earning a glare from Jen.
“Let’s hear what she has to say, huh? I don’t think you’re exactly a mouthpiece for her consciousness, you know!” the Culinary Arts teacher snapped.
“Yes, thank you. As I was going to say, I’ve decided to take Jen’s side: I’m going to eat all the candy in this bag!”
There were two predictable responses this statement was met with. First, was Jen’s enthusiastic cry for joy. Second, there was Ashley’s yell of outrage.
“Oh, Meg, I knew you’d pick the right choice! You’re not mad, after all!”
“How thick is your skull?! I just warned this bimbo here she’ll start turning into a blimp soon, and you decide to follow suit?”
Megan took on a firm expression as she looked Ashley in the eyes.
“I have self-control, you know. You don’t have to lecture me like a child; I went through health class, and all the do’s and don’ts of dieting. But it’s just Jen said, what’s the harm in treating yourself to a little something every once in a while?” She shook her bag of treats for emphasis. “And I’ve got a lot of little somethings, lovingly given to me by all my students.”
“Rrngh…” Coach Knight growled out. “Fine! Just don’t say I didn’t warn you when you have a hard time walking up the stairs and all your buttons start popping off!”
With that, she turned around with a “Humph!” and stormed off. Jennifer, however, walked right on up and placed a hand on Megan’s shoulder, a big grin lighting up her face.
“Awesome! Welcome to the club of actually rational people! I’m glad you were able to see things my way.”
Megan smiled back, glad for the support. For as odd as Jen could sometimes be, she was still fairly nice. Much nicer than Ashley was, that was for sure.
“Yep, and I think I’ll start right now!” Megan said with a grin.
Bidding farewell to each other, she and Jen went their separate ways. The whole way back to her classroom, Megan started plucking several fattening treats out of her bag, At first, she started relatively slow, but after realizing how good they were, she began to pick up the pace. The food around this academy was really good! If the snacks made her constantly craving more, who knew what other meals around here were like?
Finally making it back to her class, the slim blonde emptied the whole bag’s worth of contents onto the desk, immediately getting to work. She picked up a fun-size candy bar, tore off the wrapping, and began eating it quickly, realizing it had been a while since she’d eaten some good chocolate.
This prompted her to then dig into several donuts lying on the desk, and after finishing off the decent-sized candy bar, she began eating them equally sinful relish. She even gave out a little moan in delight as she sank her teeth into the maple one, those were her favorites! But then she realized there were also caramel apples, and she dug into them in tandem with the donuts. She bit into the outer coating, savoring the caramel flavor before she dug into the sweet apple within, causing juice to fly towards the corners of her mouth. She finished it all off (including a couple more donuts) within five minutes, yet she still wasn’t full. She definitely needed more!
This continued on for a while. Once the donuts and caramel apples were done, she moved onto the muffins, not even paying mind to all the crumbs that fell from them and onto her chest, tumbling into her lap. Then there came the gum drops, and here’s where Megan got an idea. She took two chocolate-chip cookies, stacked the gum drops in between them, and took a bite out of her delicious sandwich. It was amazing, and led to several more sandwiches being made of all sorts of different treats. Such examples were the chocolate-chip cookie and Skittle sandwich, the Oreo cookie and gummy worm sandwich, and the sugar cookie and peanut butter sandwich. Each was as good as the last.
Eventually, after nearly an hour’s worth of indulgence, Megan let out a mighty belch and leaned back in her seat. Looking at her desk, she realized she had polished off every single gift her students had given her, and boy, did she have the bloat to prove it. Her stomach was pressing against her skirt, and even caused her shirt to ride up a bit. Megan placed a hand on it, and realized that it was extremely firm, which was to be expected.
Although honestly, Megan was genuinely shocked that she was able to finish it all. Granted, she did want to indulge, but she had no idea could pack all that away! Not that she regretted a single second, of course. That food was heavenly!
Rubbing her middle and letting out another belch, Megan began thinking of days to come. She couldn’t wait for her next class to give her even more delectable treats!
