Fat Girls Are Not A Bet Novel by Cutey

 

The day before college started, my long-distance boyfriend Ethan suddenly told me he’d been playing dice with his friends—and had lost me to a guy named Adrian.

 

Before I could even process what he’d said, he pulled me into a Discord server for incoming freshmen. Over a hundred people.

 

The next second, an old, ugly photo of me was dropped into the chat.

 

In the picture, I was so heavy you could barely make out my neck, and my walk looked ridiculous.

 

The chat exploded.

 

“Oh my god, Ethan, *this* is your online girlfriend? She looks like a pig. Fat AND ugly.”

 

“Congrats to Adrian—you just won yourself a three-hundred-thirty-pound girlfriend!”

 

“According to the game rules, Adrian has to do the couple’s challenges with her tomorrow.”

 

Then Ethan slapped down ten thousand dollars, betting I wouldn’t dare show up at tomorrow’s freshman party.

 

I watched the messages scrolling past and smiled.

 

None of them knew.

 

To meet Ethan in person, I’d dropped from three hundred thirty pounds to a hundred and ten.

 

None of them knew that in the past two months, more people had asked for my Instagram than in the previous eighteen years of my life combined.

 

Quietly, I placed my own bet—three thousand dollars that I would show up on time.

 

Then, into all the laughter, I typed one line.

 

“A bet is a bet.”
