The next morning however, Jake would find out that when the man said "Bigger," he was referring to fat. He woke
up to his alarm like every other morning, but when he threw his covers back to get out of bed he noticed that
his stomach was protruding a lot more than usual. His clothes felt constricting and he could feel that he was
sinking into the bed a little. Jake got out of bed and stretched, worried, but not too worried. It was probably
just from eating too much at dinner after all.
He got out of bed and plodded to the bathroom, rubbing his eyes to try and wake up. He shut the door behind him
and stood at the sink to check his face before getting into the shower. It took a second to register, but it was
pretty evident. His face was thicker and rounder. His cheeks were fuller, his chin softer... Something was
seriously off.
"You in there, sport?" his dad said as he passed the bathroom in the hall.
"Uh, yeah dad... Just getting ready. I'll be down for breakfast in a bit," Jake said, suddenly realizing that he
was getting fairly hungry.
