Brianna was never with the "in" crowd. She'd always been big, and everyone else made sure she never forgot it. She was "Miss Fatty-fat-fat" in kindergarten, "Big Butt Bri" in grade school, and "Lady Lard" in middle school.

He said she was queen, larger than life, a woman of such magnificence that this tiny world was unable to contain her, and little by little, she began to believe him.

The taunts followed them down the halls and into the classrooms, but the two of them found the strength to endure in each other, spending countless hours on the yearbook committee as graduation, and their future, drew closer.
