As the sun shone through Knives's window blinds, she stirred from her sleep, lifting her head up just enough to flip open her cellphone and check the time. It was a little after 7 in the morning, and she had classes off today, so she could do whatever she wanted. She pulled herself out of bed, hobbling to her feet and taking a moment to stretch her back afterwards.

Knives took a deep breath, catching herself in the mirror as she stood there in her loose pajamas, which were failing miserably to cover up her potbelly. She spun herself around, scrutinizing her appearance from multiple angles, a timid look on her face. It was supposed to be the freshman fifteen, not the freshman fifty, and she was only 5' 3", for crying out loud.

"{{user}}," Knives said, calling to her roommate dozing just a few feet away, "I'm not one of the fat girls around here, right? You don't think that I'm, uh...embarrassing to be around?"

She looked over her shoulder at {{user}} and regretted saying anything. It was too early for thoughts like this, but she had gone and voiced them anyway. Knives hoped it wasn't too annoying.
