Prompt: Today, the same rail-thin girl that sits in front of me in class made yet another comment about how she was so skinny and how I should adopt her eating habits (I'm overweight). I was really embarrassed and just looked down at my papers. Right when she went to sit down her seat collapsed from underneath her. I looked across her table to see my best friend waving a screw driver. MLIA.

"Genta, what's wrong? You look sad today," asked Ayumi.

Genta sighed. "It's nothing, it's just that Kaneko-san was making comments about how I'm so fat, that's all."

"Genta, you can't let her get away with this. There's nothing wrong with being a little on the chubbier side." Said Mitsuhiko angrily. Just because Kaneko-san was a skinny, rich girl, it didn't mean that she could make fun of others. Clearly, being rich didn't mean everything.

"But what if she's right?" Genta asked dejectedly. "Maybe I am too fat."

Ayumi and Mitsuhiko looked at each other. Genta was really letting Kaneko's comments get to him, and they couldn't have that. They decided that it was time to take the matter into their own hands…

"So daddy got me this new dress yesterday, and it fits me just so well. Must've been because of the kilos I've lost recently." Said Kaneko smugly, looking at Genta. "Somebody should really adopt the same eating habits as me."

Genta flushed, and looked down at his books, embarrassed. Just then, the teacher walked in to begin their next class. The class stood up, bowed, and sat back down. As Kaneko sat down in her seat, it suddenly gave way underneath her, and she found herself on the classroom floor, looking rather surprised.

"Kaneko-san! What are you doing on the floor? You're disrupting the class!" the teacher scolded.

Kaneko went red and said, "I'm sorry, sensei, but my chair just fell apart."

"Well then, find another one. Quietly." The teacher replied. "And apologise to Genta-san, you need to stop being so mean to the poor boy; what has he done to you?"

"Nothing," Kaneko mumbled. "Gomen, Genta-san."

"That's okay," said Genta looking surprised. He hadn't realised the sensei had heard Kaneko before. Then again, that girl did have a pretty loud voice.

"Now who's the one who needs to adopt new eating habits, huh?" asked Ayumi laughing quietly.

Genta looked up to see Ayumi and Mitsuhiko grinning at him; Mitsuhiko was waving a screwdriver in his hand, with a sort of proud look on his face.

"Mitsuhiko-san! Pay attention! And why are you holding a screwdriver in your hand?" the teacher snapped.

Mitsuhiko quickly slipped the screwdriver back in his bag, apologising to the teacher. Kaneko realised what had happened, and was now looking absolutely furious. "You!" she said, pointing at Mitsuhiko.

"Kaneko-san! Aren't you getting another chair? Hurry up and get it, and don't point at Mitsuhiko-san."

"B-but… he's got… " Kaneko stuttered.

"Kaneko-san, don't make me have to send you out of the classroom. For the third time, grab a new chair and sit down." The teacher said in exasperation.

No, there really wasn't anything wrong with being a little on the chubby side, was there? Not when you had best friends who were willing to get into a little bit of trouble to help you out.
