#2: Sakura Okimoto

“You sick or something?”

In the Kabocha Academy cafeteria, it was unusual to see any girl not pigging out on the tray in front of them. Today, Sakura Okimoto was the rare exception, absentmindedly poking the heaping bowl of pasta in front of her with a plastic fork.

“How am I supposed to get a boyfriend, eating like this?” Sakura mumbled, looking up at the girl who questioned her.

“Aren’t you here because your parents don’t want you to get another boyfriend?” Samantha Miller asked between mouthfuls of spaghetti. Unlike Sakura, Sam was stuffing herself silly, the normal for Kabocha Academy girls.

“So what, is this school some screwed up reverse fat camp?!” Sakura pouted, stabbing her fork into a meatball atop her plate. “Fatten me up so no boy will look at me except to laugh?”

Sam sighed, putting down her fork. The girl across from her had been like this for a week now, ever since she realized she realized she had gone up from large to XL clothing. Almost no other Kabocha Academy students had any sympathy for her little meltdown, as she was literally the only student that could fit into a Large before, and even now, was in the small minority that wore XL.

“You were put in a school with only girls because you were caught doin’ the deed with like, half the boys at your old school…” Sam said bluntly. “Even if they did do this to turn you into a cow, which they didn’t, would that be a bad thing, with your record?”

“S-shut up.” Sakura muttered, looking down, her pout turning into a grimace when she saw her body. She wasn’t obese like the girl in front of her, but she knew without a doubt that she wouldn’t be half the boy-magnet she once was if she returned to her old school tomorrow.

Her F-cup breasts were tightly squeezed into the crop-top blouse she wore, tightly enough that the color of her tanned skin and plum bra showed through.

Below her bust, her squishy potbelly protruded out onto her lap. Despite being the most unwelcome addition to her body, it was out on full display, Sakura’s skimpy wardrobe coming back to bite her.

The lap her belly sat upon was nothing to scoff at either, her marshmallow-like thighs stretching her pink tights nearly transparent, just like her blouse.

“Heey, it’s not all bad!” Sam said, attempting to brighten her friend’s mood. “There… there are guys who are really into fat girls, trust me!”

“Liar, you’re only saying that to make me feel better…” Sakura grumbled, picking up her fork and slurping down some a rope of noodles. As much as she liked to complain about her situation, she couldn’t resist the food Kabocha Academy offered, as evident by her widening waistline.

At that moment, the school’s only male student walked up to the table. While Kabocha Academy was supposed to be a 100% girl’s only institution, the Myers family provided ample funding, enough to bend the rules in order to keep children from the Myers family attending, even the males. Micah was the most recent Myers child to attend, the tall, thin boy in stark contrast to the wide, weighty women he studied with.

“You enjoying the Spaghetti, Sam? I volunteered in the kitchen again today, and I’m wondering what everyone thinks...” Micah asked as he walked to the table, a wide smile on his face. Sakura looked away, blushing. She had a thing for Micah, a boy who who seemed to be nice and flirty with the girls of Kabocha Academy despite their sizes, but for some reason, he never even gave Sakura a second glance.

“Micah, I ain’t interested in you oglin’ my tits again...” Sam snarled, pointing her fork at the boy, who raised his hands and took a step back.

“I’ll… I’ll go see what Kimi and Lisbeth think.” he said, backing away before he was confident he was out of stabbing distance.

“He’s the perfect example, Sakura. The creep’s obsessed with making us even fatter than we already are…” Sam muttered as she went back to eating.

“He acts like I don’t even exist…” Sakura frowned, poking at her spaghetti again.

“That’s because you don’t weight over 300 pounds yet” Sam chuckled. “You may be too fat for most boys these days, but you’re a twig in the eyes of that pervert.”

“I-is that so…” Sakura whispered, too quiet for anyone but her to hear. Taking entirely the wrong idea from Sam’s words, Sakura began stuffing herself to the brim with the spaghetti in front of her, cleaning her plate long before Sam, who had a considerable head start.

Walking out of the cafeteria and into the courtyard, Micah Myers let out an audible sigh. “I hate having to ignore that cutie with the pink hair, she really is the perfect canvas for the stuffing…”

Looking back through the window, he saw Sakura devouring a second helping, Sam absolutely dumbfounded at her friend’s change in attitude. “Rules are rules though, I guess… Still don’t know why she’s literally the only girl I’m not allowed to interact with at all."

------------------------------------

-Thought that for the next little experiment in this series, I'd give some love to a character who appeared in both IN-FAT-UATION and KACC, but hasn't really had any time to shine- Sakura!

-Like Kimi, I took a look back at some previous designs I did for her, and kinda mish-mashed them together here. She's got the blonde hair with pink highlights she had in IN-FAT-UATION, and an outfit I designed for her in the interim between the two comics... I also gave her the semi-transparent clothing I experimented with for my Amy pic last week, if I'm not gonna do a comic, I might as well do some more complicated coloring like this!

-I want to emphasize that this, the Kimi one earlier, and any future ones I do are experimental, and shouldn't be counted as part of the main KACC book I'll be writing, these are meant to help give me (and you guys) a feel for the format. Sam's inclusion here is proof of that, as she's a character I've debated back and forth on adding into the story, I liked writing her here, and may amp up her writing to be a bit more Texas country girl if I do, but I'm still unsure.

-"did the deed with half the boys in her old school" is a bit of an exaggeration, but make no mistake, Sakura is a bit of a slut.

-Micah being the only boy at Kabocha pre-Leo is another thing I'm playing around with, Milo may or may not be deleted entirely. (though the caveat is Micah would gain some of Milo's traits...)

Enjoy! I hope you're enjoying these! I really wanna get a feel for this before I commit to doing KACC entirely as a book, and when I do it, I really wanna do it right.
