"Zeka, y'all better get down here!" Zeka's mom yells, rattling the ridged metal walls of their small ranch house. "I'm makin' breakfast and e'rybody will eat it up if you don't come!"
After about ten minutes and a series of grunts from behind the girls' bedroom door, Zeka emerges and sits down at the table. Everyone else had already arrived.
"Mamma!" Zeka cries, "make sure I get some."
Zeka's Mom carries the pan in one hand, and a plate in the other as she walks towards where Zeka is sitting. She plops the plate down in front of Zeka and pours the remnants of breakfast from the pan onto it. Zeka stares at her food, at least five eggs worth of scrambles eggs with bacon cooked inside it, four sausage links, two pieces of white bread smothered with butter, and a biscuit covered with grape jelly. She doesn't stare at it like you would think. There is no awe in her eyes, it was a small meal to her, as it also was small to the rest of her family, except Ben, the youngest, a five year old boy.
Zeka gobbles up her food as fast as she always does. She and her siblings rise as leave the table. Ben, going to his room, and the girls, Violet, Zika, and Zeka, entering the room they shared.
Violet, the oldest, slams the door shut so they can get changed. It's the first day of school, so each girl wants to make a different impression. Violet dresses in a violet t-shirt, black sweatpants, and a blue wind-breaker. Her fat stomach shows through a gap between her shirt and pants.
Zika dresses in a blue jumpsuit and red waist-belt with a large silver buckle. It makes her look uneven, squeezing her fat middle and displacing it to her high upper body, and lower body. Making Zika as unattractive as her older sister.
Zeka, the youngest girl dresses as any young girl would. She puts on athletic short-shorts and a tank top that stops at least eight inches above her navel, that part, Zeka didn't plan to happen. Out of all the girls, Zeka shows the most stomach.
This is normal for her, she wouldn't care, even if she knew how overweight her family was.
"We all done?" Violet asks, "then let's go!"
Violet opens the door and the girls file out into what is the kitchen, dining room, and living room.
"Bye Mamma!" Each of the girls gets a turn saying as they wait at the front door for their little brother.
Ben finally finishes and runs up to his sisters.
He is wearing a loose orange button down shirt and baggy jeans, even though they looked large enough to fly off him, they're the smallest thing he has. Because he was so thin, the fat Jaxon family couldn't find anything to fit him right.
"Let's go I'm ready," Ben says.
"Bye girls, bye Ben," The Jaxon mother called to her kin, "Good luck at school!"
Violet opens the front door and they all exit out onto the patio.
