Pound for Pound
"You think you know why you?re here. To stay in shape and learn the value of proper diet," began Stuart, the gym instructor.
"Finally, someone who knows how a school is supposed to be," muttered Kelly.
"I don?t know if I want to lose weight. I consider myself very lucky to meet the school?s criteria on the fly," admitted Persephone.
"I understand your concerns, but this isn?t a fitness gym. It?s a fatness gym. You gain weight with exercise. Allow me to demonstrate with these barbells. They look like your ordinary barbells, but they actually add fat instead of muscle when you use them. It?s subtle, but over time you?ll be bigger than you ever dreamed possible. Of course, you will only keep the accumulated flab as long as you use the equipment, but it won?t just magically disappear the instant you stop using it. There will be a lag," explained Stuart.
"Oh for fuck?s sake!" exclaimed Kelly.
"Something wrong?" asked Stuart.
"Yeah, your method of ?teaching?. Why call it a gym if you?re not staying in shape?" questioned Kelly.
"You are staying in shape. Round is a shape. It?s just not the typical shape of other gyms. Let?s have everyone try the equipment out for today and see which ones you like best," answered Stuart.
"Kelly, are you ever going to stop griping?" asked Sarah.
"Yeah. It?s not like your bitching has made things better for you or anyone else. Just go with it and then when the year is over you can go to another school," added Samantha.
"Plus, look at your sister Persephone. She?s having a good time," agreed Sarah.
"That dimwit never knows the best ideas if they hit her in the face," remarked Kelly.
"Wait, Persephone?s your sister, Kelly?" asked Marcus.
"Duh. It?s not like I acknowledge that we?re related or anything," snapped Kelly.
"Does that mean I can?t hang out with her?" asked Kyle.
"Go right ahead, perv. See if I care," replied Kelly.
"Who?d have thought a brat like Kelly would have such a nice sister?" thought Marcus.
