Chapter One: The worst day of my life
Bright morning in Hoshino Gakuen (Star field Academy), sunflowers everywhere increasing the beauty of the environment, students talking to each other before they were suddenly stopped by the appearance of the school's joker —at least that was one of the names they called him.
Mamoru Kawasaki, a fat, really fat seventeen year old boy came into the school's premises. His appearance made eyes to glance, chatters to stop and necks to turn.
"Eww, he's really fat, gross," a girl muttered
"Yeah, and he's even sweating, so disgusting. I wonder why he was even accepted into this school," another girl added.
He heard all of it but didn't say anything, it was true, he was really disgusting. He had a really fat neck, even fatter legs and thighs, I can't even start to talk about his arm. His tummy? It was big enough to block the sight between his eyes and his legs. He couldn't even see what his legs looked like therefore, always wearing different stockings.
When he walked, the very ground itself shook. When he climbed the stairs, the people behind him pray to God for him not to fall on them in case he tripped.
He walked into the school and sat in his seat which was specially designed for him, it was large enough to take four students at once.
"Hey fatso," a girl called out.
"Don't you think you should go check your weight or should I help you? I have a pin in my hair, I hope it would be enough to pop you back into shape?" She added teasing him publicly infront of other students. It was the school's hottest girl and her friends.
"Come on Rika," another girl named Sayo Nakamura called out
"Even if you popped him, he'll just inflate back up, am I right Mamoru,"
"Mamoru? More like Fatsoru," Yui Tanaka, friend to Sayo and Rika added.
The whole classroom bursted out into laughter, both the girls and the boys laughed their hearts out until they got satisfied.
"It's not your fault, it's because I'm fat, if not, this wouldn't be happening. I hate myself so much, I hate myself. I wish I could just get rid of this fat and start a new life. Who am I kidding? Wishes aren't even real. That won't come true, it's all just fantasy. This is my life now, Mamoru the fatso," thought Mamoru with hands clenched together.
His T-shirt was stuck on his skin, hair sweaty and silky, the heat that generated from his body was hot enough to boil a water
Minutes later, the class teacher walks in to teach for the period. His name is Junpei Okada, a tall, dashing and handsome man always wearing a well ironed out suit.
"Good morning class," he called out
"Good morning Teacher," the other students replied.
The class went on well for the students except for Mamoru, he was asked a question but couldn't answer because all students were supposed to rise up and then answer but he was too heavy to rise.
He asked made fun of again by Rika with Mr. Junpei cautioning her but secretly laughing.
"What's the answer to the next equation Mamoru?" The teacher asked.
He tried getting up but couldn't.
"I guess the answer is stuck in his mouth just like his butt is to the chair," Rika teased
Noone ever did anything, she was the most popular girl in school and anyone that messed with her messed with all the strong boys there. Coming from a rich and reputable family, she gained a lot of pride and bad manners.
LUNCH BREAK
"At least I can have lunch in peace," said Mamoru as he went to the cafeteria seeing that noone paid attention to him—at least for now
"Hey fatso," Rika called out
Heads quickly turned to Mamoru and Rika, expecting to hear something funny and burst out in laughter
"I guess not," he muttered
"If you are here to make fun of me, then go ahead, or just get away from me," mamoru muttered with his head down to his plate
"Oh, the fatso decided to speak huhn?
Oh well, I just wanted to ask something, do you think you should be eating? I'm mean, you already have enough in your body, why add more?" she replied
Students around them started to giggle and murmur while Mamoru's ands grew tighter by the second as he closed his eyes.
"I guess you are right," he replied
"Huhn? What are you saying fat pig? You wanna say that out loud?" Sayo asked
"Oh girls, come on leave the fat guy alone before he puffs up likes puffer fish," a guy uttered
"Oh so you mean he's not already puffed up? Bro how big can you get?" Yui Tanaka asked making everyone to burst out laughing, even the lunch ladies in their twenties bursted out laughing at him.
He tried to get up but fell flat on the floor, breaking the bench into two increasing the laughter around him.
Sport time for others was quiet time, he didn't even bother to participate in the basketball or swimming, they'd all say the same thing: "you are not fit for sport or anything in this world"
"What a cruel world? Why did I end up being like this. I wonder if they'd like me if i was not a...fat pig. I can't even get someone to like me, not even the teachers who pretend to stop the bullying,"
Life for Mamoru was a very bad and sad one, it was always the same routine; Waking up, freshening up, going to school, being bullied from morning to evening at every possible opportunity.
Rika got to her locker to get her books but found a pink letter in it.
"Huhn?" both her and her friends gasped
It was from Mamoru.
"Hi, this is Mamoru. I know I might be way out of your league but I have to tell you this. I like you. I like like you, a lot. And I wish you'd feel the same. Look, I know you like me. I can change the way I look, I can look muscular and better. Please accept me. I love you Rika. Love Mamoru,"
"Oh no he didn't," Yelled Rika as she squeezed the papar looking for Mamoru.
"MAMORUUUUUUU!" yelled Rika at the top of her voice.
Everyone followed her as she looked for him. Finally, she saw him in the basketball court watching a game being played.
"Mamoruuuuu!" she yelled again making everyone there to stop and watch.
"What made you think I'll fall in love with someone like you huhn? You disgust me, I hate you, I hate your very existence. You should just go ahead and die, noone needs you, not me, not anybody. Not even your own father,"
Mamoru watched her in surprise and pain as she mentioned his father.
"Oh so you are shocked huhn? I saw your father with another woman yesterday, they were kissing and wearing engagement rings. It's good, he made a good decision to leave both you and your mother because, the both of you are a disgrace and shame to humanity,"
"DON'T TALK ABOUT MY MOTHER LIKE THAT! ITS A LIE, ITS ALL A LIE!" yelled Mamoru for the first time in the history of being insulted.
This noise made more people to gather even Shinji Nakamura, Sayo's brother. He was the best basketball player in school and also the hottest but he was nice unlike his sister.
"Hey guys, what's going on here? Rika that's not nice, one on, just leave him alone. Enough with the insults," he said dragging her away.
"No, I'm not done with him," she yelled as she was dragged away from crying Mamoru.
"You are a disaster and a disgrace to human kind, just do us a favor and leave this world. Just leave already," she added as Shinji dragged her out.
"Shinji why did you stop me? Why? I want to insult him more. He deserves it," said Rika.
"No he doesn't, he is already going through enough as a fat bullied boy. Give him some space," shinji insisted
"Well if he wants some space then he should not come confessing his feelings to me," she replied throwing the paper in the trash can.
END OF SCHOOL FOR THE DAY
"Finally," Mamoru called out quietly
It was time to go home, and later come back tomorrow for another day of bullying. He carried his bag, heading out of the class attempting to go home.
He stood out in front of the front door, looked at the shining afternoon sun forgetting Rika was at the entrance looking at him as he closed his eyes breathing in a deep breath.
He stepped forward attempting to head down the stairs but he fell, tumbling down the stairs with great might and noise.
Heads turned, eyes widened and mouths bursted open for laughter, everyone around laughed a lot.
Mamoru stood and turned only to find the one that made him trip, Rika Fujimoto.
"Rika.....why? How could you?" he asked standing completely only to see his trousers and boxers torn and lying on the ground.
Rika's eyes widened at the scene, she meant for him to fall but she didn't mean for his clothes to tear.
"Oh my gosh, he's naked, Eww, gross," someone yelled while the rest laughed and called him names.
Disgusting fool, fat pig, naked fat pig, fatso, lumpy fat pig, etcetera.
"Mamoru—," Rika called out trying to talk to him but he held his clothes up his waist, picked up his bag and ran home with tears dropping down likes river.
"Oh Mamoru, I'm sorry. I…I didn't mean for that to happen," Rika whispered under her breath.
"Are you sure he will come back fit Rika?" Yui asked
"I-i-i don't know," she replied
"Are you okay Rika?" Yui asked
"I'm...fine,"
