"Change te channel…"
"You change it"
"Yer closer!"
I leaned across the sofa trying to reach the remote… without moving myself too much… but I couldn't reach it without getting further off the sofa, so I leant back on Jack.
"I've decided to watch this…"
He nodded in agreement… We'd been lying on the sofa's watching TV for about a week… only moving when we really had too… Jack and I were on one sofa and Jess and Will on the other. Rach had gone out of town for a week to visit her sick Granddad… She'd left us with a list and rules… but I hadn't worked them out yet… Do it later…
Will stretched and looked to me
"Don't you think we should at least try and attempt the things Rach left us?"
I sighed… Stupid boy
"Will, Will… Will, If the rules were THAT important Rach wouldn't have left them for me! She would have done them before she left!"
I leaned further into the sofa… I'm so smart!
"Mover yer foot"
"Move your body off my foot…"
"…Meh"
I heard the front door open
"Hey guys! I'm back!"
She walked in dumping her bags on the floor, sighing
"Oh my God! That was the worst vacation ever!"
"Meh…"
"Well I was visiting sick old people… what do I expect?"
I leaned around her to watch the TV
"But he wasn't even sick! They just said it so I would come down!"
"Meh…"
She'll realise we're ignoring her in a bit…
"I spent the whole week trying to watch Wheel of Fortune over my Nan and Granddad's arguing!"
"Meh…"
She slumped down on the sofa opposite me and Jack, sitting on Jess and leaning on Will.
"What are you watching?"
I shrugged and Jess cleared her throat… what were we watching?
"Ok… that guy there, see him? Yea him. Well he wants to go to Bermuda to find his long lost girlfriend… … … … … … Her!… … and his only way of getting there is on a raft he built out of potato trees"
Rach nodded
"Oh… Potato trees?"
"Yes! Potato tress!"
"That raft there?"
"Hmm"
I tilted my head
"That wasn't the raft he was on earlier… why are his clothes different?… isn't he meant to be stranded!… Who's that guy!"
Jess pointed quickly at the TV and took a deep breath
"He built a new one after the twister, he has a suitcase, he's stranded on the raft! And HE JUST FELL FROM THE SKY! WATCH IT!"
Rach sighed
"This is so confusing, where's the remote?"
We all pointed to the middle of the floor, Rach leaned over Will causing him to lean to the side to watch the confusing film
"You won't reach it, we've tried"
She pulled the remote closer to her with her foot then reached out with her hand and picked it up… Why didn't I think of that? She leaned back into Will pleased that she now had the power of TV and leaned back onto Will stopping suddenly
"What… what was that?"
She pointed to Will and I sighed
"See Rach we usually call it a stomach…"
"No! THAT!"
I looked closer and saw a huge bulge under his shirt…
"I guess we should have done some movement during the week…"
Rach's jaw dropped
"Is that…"
She grabbed at Will's shirt
"Is that… FAT!"
When she yanked it up to uncover a bulge of fat she immediately turned to me
"Why'd you look straight to me!"
"I left you rules!"
I decided to play the innocent game… and tilted my head
"What rules?"
She stormed out the room
"Well I think that went quite well"
And stormed back in again waving a piece of paper that had been stuck to the fridge and shoved it at me
"THOSE rules! I told you to eat healthily, watch educational television programmes and exercise yourselves physically as well as mentally!"
I looked up at her slowly with my mouth open
"And you expect me to understand that? That's why I didn't do any of them! There were so many big words!"
She pointed to another line
"FEED THE CAT!"
Jess sat up shocked
"…Fluffy?"
"Rach it's ONE role of fat… could be worse"
"…How could it possibly be worse!"
"He could be like Jack… he's on his way to three"
Rach's eyes widened, she put her hands either side of her head and clenched her eyes shut… She's going to explode… she threw the rules down.
"That it! Get up… all of you!"
We started to move side to side…
"Er… a little help Rach?"
……………………
"Where are we going?"
"You'll see"
"I'm tired!"
"I'm hungry!"
"Shut up! Stop complaining and walk faster!"
I put a hand on my side
"Rach… stitch… in… my side… slow… now… please"
I pulled on her hand when she didn't respond
"Rach… I… need a … break!"
Jack, Jess, Will and I all collapsed down onto a bench, Rach stood in front of us, hands on her hips giving us the 'your-about-to-get-a-speech' look
"See how unfit you all are? Look how far you've walked… I can still see the house!"
Jack waved his hand trying to catch his breath…
"Tha'…was… a… long…ol'… road!"
Rach sighed
"Hurry up and catch your breath, the gyms only a block and a half away…"
"WHOA, WHOA, WHOA… GYM!"
"Yes gym… you all need exercise…"
She glanced at Jack who was having trouble breathing properly
"…Some more then others… but you'll thank me when your all fit and healthy again!"
I raised my hand
"Er, we were never fit or healthy to begin with"
"Well I don't care, its time you started to take care of your bodies… they are out temples!"
Everyone on the bench tilted their head up a Rach, she shifted uneasily
"Hey I do yoga what you expect?… Ok everyone up!"
We all moaned and groaned but Rach pulled each of us up and we carried on at our snails pace down the road… You know when your seriously unfit when a granny with a Zimmer frame is beating you up the street.
"Rach you do realise when we get to the gym we're all going to be too tied to do anything don't you"
"Yup… but your still going to try and do some workouts… you need to get back into shape"
"But I like me new shape!"
Jack patted his rolls of fat which rippled under his shirt
"I can balance a mug o' rum on 'em!"
Rach clenched her jaw
"And how exactly do you know that Jack?"
"I tired it… dey we Rk! Yesterday night we muffffffpppppph!"
I clamped my hands over Jacks mouth to stop him telling Rach about our drinking session the other night
"Whatever, stop slowing down and hurry up!"
"STUPID MAN! THE OTHER LOST ISLAND!"
Rach stopped and turned to Jess who was desperately trying to hide her hand held black and white TV out of Rach's gaze. I wondered why she had been so quite.
"Give it to me Jess"
Rach held out her hand to Jess but she just held the TV out of her way
"NO!"
Rach grabbed it and they fought over it slightly… I took that chance to sit on a nearby wall. Jess wasn't putting up that much of a fight and Rach soon had the TV putting it into a bag she was carrying.
"NNUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! I NEED TO SEE HOW HE RESCUES HIS GIRLFRIEND WHO HAS FALLEN IN LOVE WITH A MONKEY, WHO HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED BY 20,000 CANNIBALS ON THE OTHER LOST ISLAND!"
Rach turned, dragged me to my feet and carried on walking down the street.
We were all getting pretty tired and Jack was panting… except Jess who was doing pretty well and had just about managed to catch up with Rach… when she grabbed her heart and fell to the floor.
"SEE! See what exercising does to us Rach!"
"Shut up!"
She kneeled down by Jess
"I…I…I'M DEAD!"
"Your not dead Jess… come on, I'll help you up"
Rach held her hand out but Jess just shoved it away
"Don't try and stop me!… their calling me… I can see it… HEAVEN!"
"JESS STOP BEING STUPID YOU CANT SEE HEAVEN!"
"I CAN! THERE! LOOK THE SIGN FOR HEAVEN!"
Rach and I followed where Jess was pointing… Rach glared at me…
"IT'S HEAVEN!"
"How was I suppose to know she'd get that addicted! It's not that bad Rach!"
"IT'S MACDONALDS!"
"IT'S BEAUTIFUL!"
Rach dragged Jess to her feet where passer by's were giving me glares and Jess sympathetic looks
"WALK!"
……………………………
"Ok… now sign here and here… here… here… oh! And here!"
Rach smiled at us
"You are now members of the Fatty Phobics Gym!"
I raised an eyebrow
"…great"
Rach handed us our membership cards
"And if you think that if you loose them you cant come, think again… I'll make you sign up and pay the membership fee"
Jess picked up her card from where she had just 'dropped' it into a plant pot
Rach picked up a leaflet
"Ok… what shall we do?… OH! Swimming! That's fun!"
"Yea! Oh! I just remembered… I haven't brought my swimming gear… I guess I'll just have to sit and watch you have so much fun!"
Rach raised an eyebrow at me
"I had a feeling you wouldn't bring anything… so I packed for you"
She held up the rucksack
"Go get changed"
………………………
"Rach I don't DO swimming I don't like it!"
"Don't even bother trying to play the Jess card!"
"What you mean?"
We climbed in at the shallow end of the pool
"Well Jess always uses the excuse that she doesn't like getting her face wet"
"But she doesn't Rach, she was screaming in the changing rooms about her phobia of wet faces"
"Is that why she's bombing Jack in the deep end then?"
I looked down at the end of the pool where Jess was climbing out of poll wearing a bright pink swimming costume, orange armbands, a yellow swimming cap and green goggles. She shoved Jack in and jumped in after him.
"Should she be up there with armbands on?"
I shrugged
"I personally don't know why they don't let people who can't swim up there… if they drown its their own fault and the rest who are wearing armbands will just bob around"
"Jess can swim she just liked the look of them"
Rach started to swim up to the deep end and I followed her slowly
"Where's Will?"
"Undeth te wafa"
"What?"
When I grabbed onto the side of the deep end I looked up at Jess who had one of those nose plugs on to stop you breathing in the water, she pointed down under the water to the bottom of the pool where Will was swimming about, Rach looked concerned
"How long has he been under there?"
"I dent knuw! I wes te buty drenting Jeck!"
"Maybe he can't get back up cause of how fat he is"
Rach glared me as I climbed out onto the stairs, pushing Jack back in as he tried to pass me up the ladder
"I'll get 'im!"
He tried to climb back out but I wouldn't let him pass me on the ladder out of the pool
"Shift! I'm gunna get 'im!"
"Climb out over there tubby!"
"But there's no ladder o'er there!"
"You have arms… pull yourself out!"
Jack turned round to look where I was pointing to and I shoved him in face first back into the water. I heard a whistle go off
"Damn it…"
The lifeguard climbed off the tall chair and pointed to me
"What I do!"
"NO PUSHING!"
"Your shouting at me for pushing when she's running around in armbands up the deep end, pushing AND jumping on people!"
"NO PUSHING!"
"I'll push you!"
"RK! SHUT UP AND GET IN THE BLOODY WATER!"
Rach climbed past me on the ladder and sat on the side. I sat on the last step and sulked… Jack was now pulling himself out of the pool on the other side; it was obviously harder now that he had three extra weights attaching to his middle. He pulled himself up so he was mostly out of the water but the weight of the water pulled his trunks down to reveal his pale butt. Rach, Jess and I covered our eyes.
"Jack! Pull your trunks up!"
"I would it I could get te 'ell out!"
I looked quickly and saw him trying to kick his leg up to roll onto the side
"Whoa… I wondered where the white had gone out of Jess' paint set"
"SHATAP!"
"Well he can't really tan him bum on a boat full of people can he Rk?"
The whistle blew again…
"NO FLASHING!"
"DE I LOOK LIKE I DID IT ON PURPOSE!"
"NO FLASHING!"
"I'M OUT! I'M PULLIN 'EM UP! 'APPY NOW!"
We uncovered our eyes in time to see Jack throw the lifeguard a rude hand gesture as he climbed back on his chair. Jack jumped in above Will and went down to the bottom of the pool. I put my leg in the water by Jess who was swimming around, I kicked water at her and looked away… she looked around and even up at the ceiling. I looked down the side of the pool and saw a tall tanned guy walking up towards where we were sitting. He was nice! I elbowed Rach and nodded towards him, she gasped and stood up quickly.
"Rach! I saw him first!"
"No… I have to go"
She went to walk the opposite way when the sexy guy called out her name. She stopped and turned smiling
"Oh! I didn't see you there!"
He smiled revealing perfect white teeth
"Rachael, I haven't seen you in such a long time! Where have you been hiding?"
She rubbed her neck
"Well you know me… busy, busy!"
He pouted
"Yes… always too busy to return my calls"
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA! Rach didn't return HIS calls! I WOULD HAVE!
"You know I didn't mean to Ryan, I've just, had a lot on my mind lately"
He pouted more
"I know you wouldn't do it purposely"
I eyed him up and down… nice face, nice chest, great body, and awesome butt!
"I heard your doing yoga? I'm starting that class too!"
Rach laughed uneasy
"I'm not doing that class anymore I'm afraid"
"Why not?"
"I've switched to kickboxing!"
He flashed his perfect smile again
"I had a feeling… so I signed up for that too!"
Rach smiled
"Why?"
"Because I need to get into shape"
I snorted without realising and the guy looked down at me
"Hello"
I stood up quickly
"Hi, I'm Rk, Rach's friend!"
"Nice to meet you"
He turned back to Rach
"Well the class starts in 20 minutes why don't I walk up with you?"
Will climbed up the ladder and raced to Rach's side
"RACH! Guess what! I can hold my breath for 3 minutes!"
"Oh… Will, this is Ryan… Ryan this is Will"
Ryan reached around Rach to shake Will's hand
"3 minutes eh? Well done mate!… So, shall we?"
Will looked at Ryan weirdly
"Shall we what?"
Rach took Will's hand
"He means me Will he was going to walk me to my kickboxing class"
"But what am I suppose to do?"
Rach tilted her head
"Well… ehm…"
The guy walked closer to Will
"Wait a minute… aren't you?"
Ryan pointed at Will
"I mean I saw the pictured in the newspaper but I thought it was just someone who looked like Rach with you"
"Oh! You mean… no… he isn't"
"Your Orlando Bloom!"
Ryan stopped pointing and moved quickly away form Rach
"I'm sorry mate… I didn't know she was with you or I wouldn't… heh… I'm sorry Rach… I just thought we could give it another go… but, sorry I didn't realise… good job on 3 minutes mate!"
He turned and as quickly as he could in wet trunks walked down to the shallow end to a group of guys who must have been his friends
"Er… well I've had enough for today… lets go home"
I nodded and started to walk down the side with Will and Rach who were holding hands
"Whoa Rach he was hot! You went out with him?"
"It was only for a few months… he isn't as nice inside as he is outside"
"SO!"
We walked past the group and Ryan shyly waved to Rach who nodded and Will held Rach's hand smiling. I heard an annoying high pitched giggle… no way…
I looked and saw Jess still in arms bands, hat, goggles and nose plug sitting on the side in the middle of the group of guys
"No way am I letting her get him!"
.x. Rach's PoV .x.
Rk ran over to the group and pushed her way between Jess and Ryan… I looked up at Will
"And you lot didn't want to come to the gym!"
He smiled… I turned to the deep end
"COME ON JACK WE'RE GOING!"
"'OLD ON, I'M CLIMBING OUT!
Will and I carried on walking and I heard the lifeguards whistle go off again
"NO FLASHING!"
"SHATAP!"
