"Is that all for you?" Alisha's jaw dropped as I pulled out and laid out my lunch at the table. She and Kaylee decided to join us today since we would have to head for the bus after lunch.
"He's bulking, Alisha." Noah told her. "Of course it's all for him."
I looked at the spread that Mom had packed me. I had a baked potato wrapped in foil, toppings on the side. A side salad. A container of watermelon. An apple. A banana. A bag of three cookies. A peanut butter sandwich. A small bag of almonds. And a cucumber with a side of ranch.
"Can I trade you for the watermelon?" Kaylee held out her bag of chips.
I didn't see why not so I handed it over.
"You're not bulking with chips." Alisha told me.
"I'm just increasing calorie count to gain weight." I replied. "Mom thinks most of it should be healthy stuff, but she's not terribly strict on it." I opened the baked potato and started to top it off with butter, sour cream, and shredded cheese.
