Beg Note: woo chapter two.
Marshal pondered if he should tell Lucas about the kiss or not, did it really happen or had he imagined it. Why had Josie picked that time to enter the room?
"Marshal! Marshal, oi Marshal!" called a voice braking his thoughts.
"Huh, what you say?" The boy asked confused.
"Lessons will start soon, hurry up, or we'll both be late!"
Marshal and Lucas ran down the hallway from their dorm and rushed to their first lesson which was Science. They stumbled into the classroom and were greeted by Professor Z saying, "You two are late!"
"Sorry," the two students panted. The teacher looked at them sternly and sent them to their seats.
Professor Z prattled on about how our universe came into being and why there was a dust cloud around Saturn. On a normal day this would have been very interesting to Marshal but today he just couldn't concentrate on anything that was being said. Instead his mind kept replaying yesterday in his head.
The rest of the day was the same in all his classes and at lunch. He didn't notice anything around him, he was in his own little world. The only thing that he picked up on was that Corrine was nowhere to be found at lunch.
"Are you Okay, you've been out of it all day?" Lucas asked concernedly.
"I'm fine, it's just I have something to tell you." He said his voice filling with excitement. "Corrine kissed me yesterday, while we were studying. It was a-ma-zing!"
Lucas gaped at his best friend, the guy was acting so out of character, all love sick, his voice all dreamy and grinning like a drunkard. Then it registered what he had said and Lucas congratulated the boy before dragging him to science club.
They sat round the table discussing the strange things that had been going on recently and trying to get to the bottom of their recent predicament. Lucas hardly noticed, which was odd, he was always the first one down with his conspiracy theory. It was just today something else consumed his attention. Corrine and Marshal 'getting together' made him think about Josie and his slimmer then slim chances with her. It wasn't fair, jealousy was building in him, he thought that if he was clever as Vaughn was athletic then he would be able to get her but that was not the case. Although Josie blew hot and cold, was angry with Vaughn almost always for some reason or other, he knew that Vaughn still had a much bigger chance then he had.
The feeling crept on him so slowly he didn't even notice, it was this tiredness that started in his toes and suddenly pulled him down like a lead weight. The chair crushed under his weight and he found himself flat on the floor. He pushed himself up with much of a struggle as everyone looked at him.
"What just happened?" asked Corrine slowly. She was the closest to him and she wasn't quite sure what she had seen. It freaked her out.
"I feel so weak," Lucas stuttered out tiredly.
Marshal and Josie got up to try and help him up but his shear weight was impossible to budge.
"Lucas, you weigh a tonne!" Josie cried out shocked, and as an afterthought she said, "But you don't look it,"
"Josie, you're just weak," Vaughn joked as he stepped over to help Marshal haul Lucas to his feet. The two pulled him up but you could tell by the look on their faces it took the utmost effort.
"Lucas never weighed this much," Marshal panted.
Something seemed to click in Z's mind. "What planet were doing, Lucas?" he asked.
"Erm, Jupiter but why are yo…" realisation dawned on him. "Some reason the gravity of Jupiter is affecting me so now I weigh over twice as much as I used to."
"But that can't be possible…"
Corrine was cut off by Lucas continuing ominously, "Anything's possible at Blake Holsey High,"
"So what are we going to do, Lucas can't go around like this!" Josie said worriedly.
Lucas felt a little lighter at her concern over him. But he was still tired and heavy as hell.
"Well until we figure what caused this I think it best to work out how much he weighs then get him to his room and let him rest on his bed, although I think it's best for him to stay sitting up as he may crush his organs with his weight."
This didn't sound like a great plan to Lucas, just standing here was draining him quite quickly, he wasn't quite sure he would make to his room and also he didn't want to know how much he weighed at the moment.
Professor Z pulled out some scales from nowhere and Lucas found himself begrudgingly being helped onto them. The scales read 278lb's he couldn't believe it, he weighed nearly three hundred pounds!
End Note: Actually writing this chapter was really hard. I had no idea what to write I hope it wasn't too terrible because of that.
