Graduation Berry rough draft

This is rough draft for request 2/3

Graduation Berry.

Alice smiled as she sat down in the lawn chair. “I can’t believe this day is here.” She looked at the young man sitting next to her. “These young ones graduading and moving on with their lives.”

“Hmh.”

Alice raised an eyebrow. “What? Are you not excited for one of your. . .” She took a deep breath. “Your family members to graduate from this prestigious collage?”

He turned his head and narrowed his green eyes. “Hey lady do I look like I am old enough to have kids?”

“I umm. . .”

He crossed his arms and looked up at the podium. “I am here to support my brother. He is moving from this dump to a respectable job in a few weeks.”

Alice shuddered and ran her hands through her dark hair. “Ok then. Enjoy the cermony.” She turned to watch as Adam wormed his way between the people already seated and plopled himself down next to her. “The cermoney is about to start. What took you so long?”

“I have a term paper due in two days. I had to get as much studying in before coming here.” He stashed some papers into a bag. “Not all of us are graduating today.”

“At least you made it.” She turned her head to look up at the stage. “Melissa needs are support.”

He set his bag down on the wet grass. “I said I would be here ok.” He sighed and pulled a candy bar out of his bag. “Want one?”

Alice shook her head. “No.”

He pushed the candy bar in her face. “Come on. It’s good. It helps keep your energy up when you study. You will love it. I mean you need something to get through this cermony.” Adam pulled another bar out of his bag. “This takes what? An hour and a half? We need something to eat.”

Alice looked at the bar. “I did miss breakfast.”

Adam smilled. “See. It will be good for you.”

Alice held the bar in front of her face. “Why doesn’t it have any wrapping though?”

He shrugged as he took a bite out of his bar. “Well I have a nervous habbit of tearing at the candy wrapping while I study. It’s better then tearing at my skin.” He laughed. “The stress of school gets at me.”

She patted him on his shoulder. “Well hopefully you can relax when you finish your exam period.” She looked at the bar. “But tell me what is the bar made out of?”

Adam took another bite. “They are all different. Why?”

“I need to—

She turned her head as an elderly man with a bald head and a short white beard walked onto the stage. He made his way to the podium before defaning the crowd by talking into the microphone. “Hello and welcome.” His dull blue eyes went wide. “Opps.” He adjusted the microphone. “Is this better.” He laughed. “That is my bad. I want thank you all for coming out here today. Taking time out of your busy lives for our graduation event.” He took a deep breath. “Today the hard workers, the men and women of Leicestershire are about to step out into the real world.” He turned around. “They are about to start the journey of. . .” He paused. “Ugh I knew I should have written down my speech.”

A young woman walked out onto the stage and grabbed the microphone. “Thank you so much Mr. Everson.”

“But I am not done.”

Alice shrugged her shoulders and bit into the candy bar. “Mhhm. Tastes good.”

Adam smiled. “See I told you that you would like it mom.”

She nodded her head. “Yes but. . .” She tapped her chin. “I swear I can taste a hint of something.” She shook her head as she took another bite. I hope there isn’t artificial blueberry in this thing.

The young lady at the podium waved as Mr. Everson walked off the stage. “Well shall we get this graduation started?” The crowd cheered. “That is the energy we want to see. Frist up we have Renold Venerson with a masters degree in mathematics.” A handsome looking man walked out on the stage. “Well he has the looks and the brains. I think he will be well off, don’t you people?”

Adam laughed. “Well at least this is interesting.”

Alice coughed and put her hand on her chest. “Ugh ya.” She blinked her eyes. “Ugh.” She felt a warmth spreading throught her body.  Please tell me that is just heartburn.

Adam looked over at his mother. “Hey are you alright?”

She smiled and nodded her head. “Yes. I am ok.” I hope.

Alice watched as the next young lady walked out onto the stage and accepted their gruatiotion paper. She rubbed her legs, feeling the warmth spreading throught her body. As long as it is just warmth I am good. She took a deep breath. No need to panic. My allergies are not acting up yet. Of course not. Her eyes widdend as she noticed her fingers turning blue. Oh crap.

Adam turned his head. “Hey what is wrong?”

Alice slid her hands under her butt. “Nothing. I am just shocked that we have yet to see Melissa.”

“Why? Only two people have gone on the stage so far.” He crossed his arms and looked at the stage. “In fact I am not looking forward to seeing her go up there with how everyone is being roasted. If this is how I am going to be treated when I graduate I am not looking forward to it myself.”

Alice nodded her head. “Ya. I guess it is a good thing she hasn’t come out yet.” She could feel the blueberry juice start to travel up her arms. I don’t exactly want her to see my blueberry condition. I might ruin her gruatiotion. Alice looked at Adam. It is only a matter of time before he notices. I mean my arms are blue and I can feel my chest filling up. Why did he have to give me a blueberry flavored candy bar? This is the last time I eat something I don’t know the contents of.

Adam laughed. “Well that engineer’s joke was funny.” He looked over at Alice. “Right mom?” His eyes widdend upon seeing her blue face. “Holy crap. What happened to your face?”

Alice laughed and forced a smile. “Ummm. I have something I need to tell you.”

“What? Is it that your skin is blue?”

The man on the other side of Alice turned his head. “What did you do? Give yourself a spray job so you would stand out?”

She turned her head. “Excuse me?”

“I mean why else would you make yourself blue? It is just very odd.”

She put her hands in her pockets and looked down at the ground. “I don’t exactly want to talk about it.” She could feel her body begin to fill up with more juice. “It is a bit embarrsining.”

Adam put his hand on her shoulder. “Well feel free to talk about it. We can help. Well after the gruadation.” He lifted his hand away. “Also why is your skin wet? Is this juice?”

She pulled her shirt over her belly as it slowly started to push out and her skin turned from a blue color to a dark purple. “I umm. . .” She looked up at the stage. “Oh hey look. There is Melissa.” She waved. “Hey honey.”

Melissa looked out and her eyes widdend. “Mom!? What in the world?” She stopped short on the stage.

Alice shrunk down in her seat as everyone looked at her. What did I just do? She gulped as her blueberry stained t-shirt began to ride up her expanding belly. Quick I need to do something to not make this so akward. She waved her blue hand at her daughter. “Happy graduation Melissa. Good work.”

Melissa ran her hands through her hair. “This isn’t happening.” She turned towards the podium. “This isn’t happening.”

The young woman who hand been announcing the event slowly laughed. “Well it looks like we have a bit of a siuation people.” She guestured towards Melissa. “Please coutuine this way so you can accept your reward.”

A voice rose up from the crowd. “I think the young lady needs help.”

Adam nodded his head. “Yes. My mom is bloating up like crazy. This gradation can wait.” He rubbed her stomach. “What in the world is going on?”

Alice sighed as her belly button expanded outward. “I have a blueberry allergy ok. You gave me a blueberry candy bar and I am turning into a blueberry.” She took a deep breath as she felt her breasts tense up, juice rushing into them. “Oh god of all the places to be a giant blueberry.”

The man sitting next to her stood up. “Well I am out. I well. . .” He ran his hands through his hair as sweat dripped down his neck. “I can’t take being around here.” He laughed and adverted his gaze. “Ugh god you look so. . .” He turned around. “No don’t. Not here.”

Alice raised an eyebrow as her butt started to push itself outward. “What are you mumbling about?”

He turned around. “Oh god I find blueberry’s sexy.”
