“One that likes me back usually gets me going.” He thought about Elsa and the kiss they had shared. She was the only girl who was getting any kind of response to him. Today in gym, Jessica had come up to him and tried to rub against him. He’d not been interested. She held no appeal to him whatsoever.

The moment he caught sight of Elsa, that was a whole different story. He wanted her badly. Most of his nights were spent dreaming about her. Each morning he’d wake up with a boner, and no matter how many times he tried to get himself off, he couldn’t stop the need from stirring up again.

“No. I mean, do you like big tits, round ass? No tits?”

Noah stared at his friend, frowning. “I have no idea what you’re trying to get at. I’m confused.”

“Fuck, I just need to come out and say it, don’t I?”

“Usually that happens to people, yeah.”

Kurt stood and started pacing. “I’ve noticed her all the fucking time, and I was a total asshole because of my older brother Lewis.”

“Sit down, and just tell me what the fuck your problem is.” Noah lost his patience.

“My lab partner Kim, I like her.” Kurt sat down and stared at Noah. “I mean I really like her, Noah.”

“So?”

“So? I’ve bullied her for fucking years. She’s not slim. My brother told me never to become a chubby chaser, it’s like fucking death.”

Noah held his hand up. “You like Kim? Like a friend?”

“No, I want to sleep with her. I want to get naked with her, fuck her, screw her, but I don’t want to be a jerk about it. I actually want this. Tell me what the fuck is wrong with me?”

“Kim’s hot.”

“I’ve been calling her a whale since we were in kindergarten.”

Noah chuckled. “I did warn you about being a bully. Guess what, this is karma, buddy. Straight and simple karma.”

“You’re being a rat bastard, you know that.” Kurt collapsed on the bed. “I can’t get her out of my mind. She’s all I can think about.”

“Don’t you have a girlfriend? Britney?”

“No. She’s just a girl who likes to have a booty call.” Kurt sat back up. “What the hell am I going to do?”

“I don’t know.”

“I don’t even know anything about her other than the fact she can’t stand me.” Kurt rested his hands on his knees. “I’m going to have to stop being a jerk.”

“I’d start with not calling her whale, or anything relating to her size.”

“I don’t know what it is. At first when Donald partnered us up, I couldn’t believe it. I thought I was going to have to deal with this chick offering me shit on a silver platter. She got to have a piece of the Kurt action.”

Noah stared at his friend, smiling. Kurt had this coming. “What changed?”

“She fucking ignored me. Throughout the whole lesson, she ignored me, and started her assignment. When the bell went, she looked at me and asked me if I knew what I was doing. I nodded, ‘cause, that’s what I do. She told me what I should work on, and left. I called ‘round to her house, and she growled at me. It took me having to sweet talk her mother before I was allowed in the house.”

“So, you like the chase?”

“I thought that, but nothing has happened.”

“Nothing?”

“Not a thing. No kiss, no groping. I didn’t even get to talking about each other. Every time I asked her a question, she’d avoid it. I know next to nothing about her.”

“You know where she lives, and where she goes to school.”

“I also know she hangs out with that other chick, Elsa. The mousy one, kind of cute.”

Noah tensed up, gritting his teeth. “Leave her alone.”

“Oh, I will, I promise.”

He was pleased Kurt was so distracted, as otherwise he’d have witnessed that Noah was having a hard time keeping his shit together.

“What do you think I should do?”

“About what?”

“About Kim?”

Noah stared at his friend. “Does this really bother you that much?”

“I’ve never felt like this. Not about anyone. I’ve not even spoken to Britney. Seriously, I can’t get her out of my mind.”

“If all you want is just sex, then you’re going to have to find someone else.”

Kurt shook his head. “It’s more than that.”

“Then start by trying to get her to talk to you.” Noah got to his feet, slapping him on the back.

There wasn’t more to be said.

Chapter Seven

For the next couple of months, Elsa spent her time between school, working out with Noah, and spending time with Kim. She picked out a dress for the country club prom, and she’d kept it at Kim’s place. Her mother was nagging her to still lose weight, and according to Noah, she was losing weight, and she was toning up.

Alone.

Staring in the full length mirror in her bedroom, Elsa turned around. She was completely naked, and she was assessing her own body. Her stomach appeared flatter, and her ass was not as saggy, which had to be a good thing. Lifting her hair up¸ she saw her back still showed more signs of her weight. Her thighs still jiggled when they walked, and a few touches of cellulite remained.
