The Magic Pill : Invitation

Two weeks had passed the students are still shocked of the two girlfriends' sudden transformation. That was real magic they witnessed but that little commotion in the campus about them settled down a bit. The girls were admired by other students and some overweight classmates had sincerely asked for their help.

Jeanny is one of their seniors, they don't know her personally but she came to ask Lucy about her weight loss. Of course Lucy would never tell anyone and for sure nobody is gonna believe her. What happened to them is a mystery. She doesn't even know where Erin got her weird magic pills. Jeanny walked away with nothing when Lucy told her it was given as a gift to her.

Erin and Lucy were together in the canteen. Each of them ordered two quarter pound burgers, bacon sandwich and a liter of their favorite milk tea. Some students would turn their heads on them. They just enjoyed their snack over a few words. That's less than 10 minutes then everything in their plate is gone. These two are really food lovers! Unbelievable! They left the others stunned by how they eat.

Mike passed by their table and Erin was just wide eyed looking at him speechless. Erin liked him a lot, too. She's so into him that she takes picture of Mike in different angles secretly. Her room walls filled with Mike's pictures.

"Hi! I'm celebrating my birthday tomorrow, would you like to come? Party starts at 8 o'clock at the Pool Bar Resto, poolside, and most of our batchmates are coming." He was asking Lucy but she's too slow to answer so Erin accepted the invitation.

L: "OMG! Did you just say yes?!

E: Ofcourse! we can't just decline, it's the first time he invited us.

L: But..

E: No more buts, okay, just be ready for tomorrow. I'm so excited!!

Erin hugged her out of excitement.

At the party. Erin was so excited to come inside that she almost stumbled with her three inch heeled shoes. Lucy held her hand to help her gain her balance. They were both busy fixing themselves when Mike came to meet them at the hallway.

Erin stood straight and handed her gift bag to him and greeted him cheerfully. Mike was stunning tonight and it just made her stutter.

Mike gently held Lucy's hand and lead them to the poolside. The girls had their eyes both on her hand. ..

"Welcome to my party!"

It was their first time joining a party this big with most of the campus varsity and MVPs present. The elite personalities in school, their teachers are here, too. Some are already having fun, crowding the pool. The others in tables drinking liquor and dancing to the beat of the loud music. Both of them uttered "wow".... Erin's eyes sparkling at the view in front of her. She was too astonished to say something.

Mike must've paid the whole night for the whole school.

"Help yourselves girls, sky is the limit for food and drinks, enjoy!" Mike says with a big smile.

The girls literally enjoyed the food. Their table almost full of different sets of meal. They were like hungry goddesses. Everyone knows how they eat, Mike knows that for sure so no one had had any harsh reactions over them. Some were even fond looking at them. Because they still looked really good despite the eating habit..

Lucy starts to get bored as she's left alone in the table. Erin went jammin' with the guys. Since her transformation, Erin has become more confident and more friendly. She gained a lot of friends most of them are here so she's really having a good time right now.

She was just browsing her phone when Mike suddenly sat next to her. His sweet scent almost suffocated her. She felt awkward at first but she became more comfortable of the way he approaches her. A little while later, they became comfortable with each other and she ended up laughing a lot the whole time of their conversation.

Time runs so fast that she realized the party is over. Mike asked for her number. She was flattered by his sweet gestures towards her. She felt special by his sweet words..

On the other hand, Erin is watching them in a distant. She acted as if she's still having fun with the boys. Yeah, their attention is like a shower of blessings to her. She never experienced getting so much attention especially from boys. She love being admired by the boys. But Mike, he is her first love and he seemed to be more attentive to her best friend. She felt a hint of envy crawling inside of her.

Two days after Mike's birthday, Lucy hasn't seen her friend. Since that night Erin hasn't showed up. Her phone is busy when she tries to call her. She never answer her texts up until today. She left the party without telling her, so Mike had to send her home since he's pretty worried she might get in trouble along the way. Mike made sure she came home safe that night.

She scrolled on her phone in an attempted to text Erin when she happened to see a post of a missing person on social media.

MISSING PERSON: JEANNY LOUISE JOHNSON

AGE: 18

Height: 5'4"

Weight : 75 kg.

Last seen February 28, 2022, 5:30 p.m., Gate 3 of St. James High School wearing complete school uniform and her green backpack.

That was two days ago. They must have missed the news because they were too overwhelmed by excitement for Mike's birthday. Besides they really are not close with this girl. The day she approached Lucy, that's the first time she talked to Jeanny. She looked depressed that time.

Lucy realised that she still has to message her friend. She tried to dial her number but no luck.

"Erin where are you? I'm so worried about you. You left me at Mike's party without notice..."

"Answer me please.. I'm worried, Jeanny went missing two days ago. I don't know what happened to her but I hope you're not missing, too."

Lucy never received any response from her dear friend. She went really hungry out of frustration over Erin's disappearance. Off she went to the canteen and ordered her favorite set of meal. She's been overthinking the whole time not noticing she finished her burgers in less than 5 minutes.

Her tummy felt heavy. She squeezed it and felt the bulge in her. She's gaining weight. Then she remembered the pills ran out on the night of Mike's party. That was the last capsule she had. Now, she needed to find Erin to find out where to get those pills.

Erin's the first to use that pill, she wondered how her friend kept herself stay in shape. Her pills must have ran out first. Or maybe she was given few more bottles by her friend.

She saw Mike headed towards her table. He smiles at her but she looks away. She can feel her cheeks swelling, too. She's really starting to go back to her normal body. She covers her face with her hair as he comes to sit in front of her.

"You seem uneasy today, Lucy, any problem? Anything I can help you with?" Mike holds her hand. She pulled it away as she saw her hand are getting chubbier again. Mike noticed her reaction.

"I see, don't worry, I still like you even if you're almost back to your old self"

Her eyes grew wide, she felt really flattered deep inside. Mike told her how he admired his beauty in spite of her size. "You were beautiful inside and out. I liked you even before but I just couldn't get the chance since you were too shy and aloof."

Lucy is totally stunned by what this guy is telling her right now but Mike thought she could've taken it the wrong way, "Oh! Please don't get offended, we're friends and I hope you trust me but I really liked you in the first place. Nothing else can change that. I don't know what kind of magic you did to yourself but all I know is that I like you no matter what. You just became prettier when the magic happened, but for me you're still the same person I adored. "

They both laughed as their eyes met. Mike seems sincere about his tiny revelation, so Lucy became comfortable with his company again.

She suddenly shifted mood as she remembers her friend. She still needs to find her, she can't be this happy while her friend is missing.

Her phone beeped and saw Erin's name on the screen.

E: I'm fine, I just ran out of the pills. Can't go to school with this body right now.

L: Me too. I needed some more but do you know where to get those?!

Hey! why didn't you tell me earlier? I've been trying to call and text you, you just disappeared at Mike's party. Jeanny is missing, that's what makes me more worried about you. "

E: Naah.. I just felt dizzy and nauseous so I hurriedly drove home. Sorry about that.

"Thank God she's okay".

L: I'm going back to my fat self...

E: Come over at my place after school, let's haunt some wormy caps in the woods.

L: In the woods??!

E: We throw them in the woods, maybe then we could find something there..

L: Well, okay.

Lucy's skeptical about Erin's plan. She's afraid the worms might attack them or something. They could've piled up in there.

Still she wants those pills so badly. She couldn't afford to feel heavy and ugly again. Specially now that she knew Mike liked her.

She'll just cross her fingers tonight, hope they get more...

... wait up for the next part...
