*Work In Progress* Claire 19

I have a confession to make. I've had most of the Claire story written for a while now, I've just been going back and polishing it and reworking it, and then putting out the chapters as they were fit it print. But I've finished with that back log, so the fun part starts again were I need to create the meat and bones of the rest of the story. I haven't had time to finish part 19, but I did want you all to have to wait much longer, so I though I would give you a tates, I mean that is the perk of be a Patreon. So here is what I have for Claire 19, to be finished soon.

----

After Claire’s special prom, she had one of the busiests months of her life. She had two big life events coming up, the first being her high school graduation, something she had been working the past 12 years to achieve. The second one being the final family weigh-in, which although only being a focus the past four years seemed much more important to Claire than her graduation. She wanted to succeed in both of these things, but it was easy to tell she wanted one more than the other.

Claire was stuffing her face around the clock, or at least whenever time allowed. She found her biggest hurdle was school. She could only bring so much food to school with her, and the cafeteria was only open a couple hours of the day, and then there was the fact that eating in class was highly frowned upon. Everyday Claire packed her book bag with snacks from home, things that would travel well, usually individually wrapped. Eventually she started to get Jen to do the same. They would load up their bags, leaving most of their school books behind. 

At first Claire tried to push her luck, and would sneak something small during class when the teacher wasn’t looking, but her chomping usually gave her away. After getting caught numerous times she decided she needed to give that up. That was when her locker became her own personal pantry. She would unload the contents of her bag there in the morning, and waddle as fast as she could there in the breaks between classes. She only had a few minutes to get there, wolf some snacks down, and then get to her next class before the bell.

Claire’s school mates had to have been scratching their heads at this point. Their classmate Claire had completely ballooned over the course of high school, and now here she was stuffing her face with snack cakes and cookies in the hall frantically between each class. Claire paid them no attention though, she had her eye on the prize, and nothing was going to stop her. And she didn’t just fill up at her locker, she used the hours the cafeteria was open to her advantage well. The lunch ladies knew her well considering the amount of food she purchased. They didn’t bat an eye though considering most of them were overweight themselves, and the extra money coming in helped them reach their sale numbers.

Jen took Claire for takeout or fast food most days on their way home, and then of course at home there was a bevy of indulgences that Claire had the run of. Claire had asked her mom if she could stay home some days from school so she could focus on her eating, but her mother refused. Finishing high school was one of the rules to the family contest. So between studying, and binge eating, Claire was a busy girl.

All her hard work was paying off though, the pounds were creeping on faster than anytime this past year. Claire could even feel herself getting chunkier.

It was getting down to the wire, the last week of school. Claire felt fine about her finals, and she seemed to breeze through them. It was the most important final exam she was most nervous about, the final weight in. The night before Claire and Jen were in Claire’s room making sure to pack in as much as they could leading up to the deadline. Claire had mouth full, but Jen was always pushing more on her. It looked like a grocery store had exploded in Claire’s room, puddings cups strewn all over the place, packages of cookies with only crumbs remailing tipped over, empty snack cakes boxes by the dozen.

“Come on Claire, you need to eat more!” Jen pushed. Claire mumbled, her mouth completely full as she tried to chew. “No talk back, only eating!” Claire’s bulging body was sprawled out on her bed, her fat rolls coming to rest wherever gravity had taken them. She looked like a mini Jabba the Hutt, all of her rolls smooshing together, and her body covered in crumbs as Jen tried to force more food on her. 

The past year had been all about getting Claire to the trophy weight she so desired, and Jen had made it her sole goal for this year. Claire had been her closest friend throughout high school, and had showed her a life she didn’t think existed. Yeah she was a chunky girl now, and had even gotten downright fat as of recent, but the life lesson she learned had changed her outlook on life. True friendship wasn’t the easiest thing to find, so it was to be cherished with the highest priority. Also happiness came in many forms, and if you found something that made you happy you needed to kindle that flame of happiness. Happiness in this case came in the form of anything that was edible and tasty.

Claire had been instrumental in changing Jen’s life, and now Jen was repaying the favor by helping her friend reach her ultimate goal. Pound by pound she watched as her best friend grew bigger and flabbier, and it brought nothing but joy to both of them. 

“Claire, I know you can fit more! Here, more eclairs.” Jen shoved the pastry past her friends plump lips, the light cream exploding in her mouth.
