After being yelled at that night in both their parent's homes they both got together and were walking to school. "Hey Beth you ever think that this life were being raised now, will only make ourselves losers in the end?" Beth looked at him in bewilderment, but felt she knew where he was headed with it. "I don't know, I guess your right, I mean the girls at school here like have nothing to do with me and the gym teacher along with my parents have told me that if I don't lose some weight that I end up being cursed whatever that means." "You gotta be kidding me, I don't really care what mine think of me and I got thinking were old enough to..." "to what Wil? Runaway, yeah that sounds great, but where would we go, who would take care of us?" Wil was wondering the same thing. "I don't know, I will figure something out. We just half to play it cool in the meantime, do you trust me?" "oh, oh yes, in fact your like the only one who finds me groovy" With that they both were ashured that regardless anything came their way, they were beginning to think that there might be more than friendship there. He put his arm around her and hugged her and she felt more secure from that point on to where she was willing to go along with what he had to say. That day the usual kids picked on both of them. THem being the only fatties in class, the teacher and everybody on up to the principle told them if they did not start losing the weight, they would be kicked out of school. This only angered Wil and worried Beth very much. Within a few days the principle would notify both their parents on their failings in Phys-ed. Wilbur knew he was the smarter one and had to enact a plan fast or it was who knows what.
