My Pudgyville Fanfic S1E20
One thing leads to another as Clover struggles with honesty.
Fat Fibs
[At school...]
"Alright class, I'm handing back your projects from last week," said Hackney. Your grade is on a piece of paper I taped to your project. *she hands them back*
"This isn't very good at all," sighed Clover. [Back at her house...]
"How was school, dear?" asked her mother.
"Fine, mom," said Clover.
"Are you sure?" You don't look to happy.
"Yes, I'm fine," said Clover. *she runs to her room* [Inside her room...] *her belly expands* Oh no, I've put on a few pounds. How did this happen? I haven't been eating any more than usual. Maybe it'll be gone by tomorrow. [The next day...]
"Hey Clove," said Starlight. Ready for school?
"Of course," said Clover. *her belly expands a little more*
"You feeling okay?" asked Starlight.
"Never better," said Clover. *her belly expands again*
"Well, okay," said Starlight a little concerned. [At school...]
"Come on, come on, get in there you," muttered Clover to herself.
"Need any help, Clover?" asked Hackney.
"No no, I got it," said Clover.
"If you say so," said Hackney also concerned. *Clover's belly expands even more*
"If I expand any more, my clothes won't be able to hold anymore," thought Clover. My belt is on its last hole so I can't set it any lower.
"Something's wrong with Clover," whispered Bon Bon.
"What do you think it could truly be?" whispered Sweetheart to Bon Bon.
"We'll need to find out what that is," whispered Bright Eyes. [Later that day...]
"Clover, what's wrong?" asked Melody.
"I can't talk now, I-I-I have to get home," stuttered Clover. *her belly expands a little more and the belt snaps* Not what I needed at all. [Back at home...] Hi, mom, bye mom.
"What's your rush, Clover?" asked her mother.
"I have......homework to do," said Clover rushing to her room. [In her room again...]
"I can't keep lying to everyone," thought Clover. Not only am I lying and deserting my friends but I'm lying to my own mother. I can't let them find out now, they'd never forgive me or want to see me again, especially like this. What am I going to do?
"Clover, dear, what's wrong?" asked her mother knocking on the door. You've been avoiding me all day and yesterday you just hid in your room without even talking to me.
"I'm fine, mom," muttered Clover. What am I doing? I'm just making the whole thing worse and it's not helping. If I keep this up, I literally won't be able to run away from this so I might as well come clean and tell the truth. *her mom opens the door*
"Clover, what's gotten into you?" asked her mother. You've put on several pounds and have ruined your clothes.
"I know, mom," said Clover sadly. It all started in Ms Hackney's class the other day and we got our projects back but my grade for it was awful and I didn't want you to know about it because I knew you'd get mad. *her belly shrinks* I guess the extra weight came from lying all this time. *her belly shrinks even more* It's working.
"Clover, dear I won't be mad at you if you don't do well on something but not telling me about it only makes things worse for when I do find out about it later," said her mother. I will have to ground you tonight and tomorrow for this.
"Deal," said Clover. First though I need to briefly apologize to my friends.
"Well alright but be back soon," said her mother. [Outside school...]
"I'm sorry for ignoring you all recently," said Clover. I didn't want you to see me like this. *her belly returns to normal fatness*
"Clover, we'll truly love you no matter what," said Sweetheart. *they all hug Clover*
"Thanks," said Clover. With friends like this, they've made my day that much better.
