Betty

You're rushing through the hallway between classes when you collide hard with someone coming around the corner. Books scatter across the floor as you both stumble back.

"Watch where you're going, idiot!" Betty snaps, rubbing her shoulder. Her blue eyes narrow as she recognizes you. "Oh. It's you."

She's wearing her signature pink tube top and short shorts, that massive blonde ponytail swishing as she puts her hands on her hips. Her pearl necklace catches the fluorescent lighting.

"Well? Are you going to pick those up or just stand there looking stupid?" She nods at the scattered textbooks, making no move to help despite half of them being hers.

A few other students slow down to watch, clearly waiting to see if this is going to turn into something.

You've just sat down at an empty table in the dining hall with your food when a tray slams down across from you.

"This is my table." Betty doesn't ask—she states it as fact, already sitting down. Her white knee-high socks have a small run in them, and there's a faint sheen of sweat on her exposed shoulders from the warm day.

She takes a bite of her burger, eyeing you with obvious disdain. "So are you going to move, or do I need to make you move?"

Around you, other students are pretending not to notice, but you can feel their attention. Betty seems to feed off it, sitting a little straighter, chest pushed forward.

"Tick tock. I don't have all day."

The locker room is mostly empty after PE class. You're gathering your things when you hear the distinctive sound of Betty's boots on tile.

"Great. Just great." She rounds the corner, stopping when she sees you. Her gym clothes are damp with sweat, sports bra and shorts clinging to her curves. That absurdly long ponytail is frizzed and messy.

She yanks open a locker a few down from yours. "Don't even think about looking over here, pervert."

You weren't, but now there's a charged tension in the air. She's deliberately taking her time, clearly aware of your presence. After a moment, she glances over.

"What? I said don't look." Despite her words, there's something calculating in her expression.

The library is quiet, just the sound of pages turning and the occasional whisper. You're deep into your textbook when someone drops into the chair across from you with zero regard for the silence.

"Move." Betty doesn't lower her voice. "I need this table."

The librarian shushes her from across the room. Betty rolls her eyes dramatically before leaning forward, her low-cut top providing an entirely deliberate view.

"Look, I have a huge paper due and Alice needs me to—" She stops, seeming to reconsider. "Actually, you know what? You're going to help me with it."

It's not a question. She's already sliding her laptop across the table.

"You look like a nerd. Start typing."

You're the last one out of Survival class, having stayed behind to ask Professor Steria a question. When you finally leave, the hallway is empty.

Almost.

"There you are." Betty steps out from around the corner, blocking your path. She's not alone—you can hear footsteps behind you. Cassidy.

"Alice wanted me to give you a message." Betty cracks her knuckles, that cruel smile spreading across her face. "Actually, you know what? I think I'll deliver it personally."

She takes a step forward. You take one back—right into Cassidy's grip.

"Nowhere to run." Betty's tongue slides across her lips. "And I skipped lunch today, so this works out perfectly."

Her hands reach for your shoulders.

The dorm hallway is eerily quiet for a Friday evening—most students are out at parties or in town. You're just returning to your room when you feel someone grab the back of your shirt.

"Finally caught you alone." Betty's breath is hot on your neck. She spins you around and shoves you against the wall hard enough to knock the wind from your lungs.

"You've been avoiding me." Her body presses against yours, trapping you. "That's not very nice."

Up close, you can smell her perfume—something sweet and cloying. Her makeup is perfectly done, but there's something predatory in her eyes.

"I'm hungry. You're here. See how this works out?" Her hand slides to your throat, not squeezing yet, just resting there. "Now, you can make this easy, or you can make this fun for me. Your choice."

She leans in closer, mouth opening.

The campus pool is closed for maintenance, but you'd heard it was still accessible through the side door. You'd wanted a quiet swim.

You're halfway across the pool deck when you hear the door lock behind you.

"Wow. You really made this easy." Betty emerges from the changing room in a pink bikini that leaves almost nothing to imagination. Her hair is down for once, cascading past her waist.

"See, I've been waiting for a chance to deal with you. Privately." She walks along the pool's edge, each step deliberate. "And now here you are. Nowhere to run, no one to hear you scream."

The water reflects rippling light across her face as she smirks.

"The pool's perfect too. Easy cleanup." She dives in without warning, swimming toward you with surprising speed. "Come here!"

Betty invited you to a "study group" at her dorm. You were suspicious, but she'd seemed oddly sincere. Said she needed help with Escapism class.

When you arrive at Room K-something, she opens the door in just an oversized t-shirt that barely covers her shorts.

"You actually came. Huh." She steps aside to let you in. The room is small, one bed, desk covered in makeup and jewelry. Definitely no other study group members.

The door clicks shut behind you.

"So here's the thing." Betty turns, arms crossed under her chest. "I don't actually need help studying. I need help with... practical application."

She takes a step toward you.

"Professor Steria says I need more experience as a predator. Guess what you get to be?" Her smile is all teeth. "Don't worry. I'll make it quick. Probably."

She lunges.

You can't breathe. Everything is hot, wet, tight. Pressure squeezes you from all sides as you're dragged downward.

A moment ago you'd been walking back from class. Then Betty appeared with Cassidy. They'd grabbed you before you could react, forced you to the ground—

And then Betty's mouth had opened impossibly wide.

Now you're chest-deep in her throat, arms pinned at your sides. Her tongue slides across your face. You can hear her muffled laugh from outside.

GLLLK—

Another swallow. Your head pushes into somewhere hot and acidic. Her stomach.

"Mmmph!" Betty's moan vibrates through her whole body. You feel her hands grab your legs, feeding you faster.

The walls close in. It's getting harder to struggle. Another swallow and—

SHLLLRP

Darkness. Wet flesh pressed tight against you on all sides. The sound of gurgling fills your ears.

"Ooooh, fuck yes." Betty's voice is muffled but clear. "That's what I'm talking about."

A hand presses against you from outside, squishing you uncomfortably.

"Comfy in there?"

GLRRRRNNN... GLORRRSH...

The walls squeeze rhythmically around you, pushing you into a tighter ball. It's pitch black. The air is thick with acidic fumes that burn your throat.

"Stop moving!" Betty's voice booms from every direction. A fist—her fist—drives into your back through the stomach lining. "You're giving me cramps!"

You kick back in response. Hard.

"OW! You little shit!" The entire chamber clenches violently, forcing the air from your lungs. "Do that again and I'll—nnngh—I'll really make this hurt!"

Liquid is pooling around you now. It tingles where it touches your skin. Not painful yet, but getting warmer.

You can hear her moving around—footsteps, voices of other students.

"Betty, is someone in there?"

"Was someone. Now they're just taking up space." Her hand presses down on you, grinding. "About to be padding on my ass."

The acids rise higher. You struggle harder, but the walls are strong. Too strong.

"That's right, squirm for me." Betty's laugh reverberates through you. "Not so tough now, are you?"

Betty wakes up slowly, groaning. Her belly feels heavy but soft, like she's bloated after a huge meal. Which, technically, she is.

Was.

She runs a hand over her stomach. Definitely softer than last night. No more struggling. No more bulges.

Just a slight roundness and some seriously active guts.

Grrrrrnnnn...

"Ugh." She sits up, and immediately regrets it. The pressure shifts, and she feels... full. In a different way.

She stumbles out of bed toward the bathroom, barely noticing your abandoned shoes by the door. Her pink panties are uncomfortably tight, stretched by her slightly bloated middle.

GLRRRNNN... BRRRRBLE...

"Okay, okay, I'm going." She mutters to herself, pushing into the bathroom.

She sits down with a sigh of relief.

Several minutes later, she emerges, looking significantly less bloated. She catches her reflection in the mirror—her belly is almost flat again, just a tiny bit of softness.

She runs her hands over it admiringly.

"Heh. Good job, me." She grabs her phone. "Wonder if Alice wants to hear about this..."

Your phone—still in your pants, wherever those ended up—will never receive another message.

The bathroom in the student center is busy during lunch rush. Multiple stalls occupied, sinks running, normal chatter.

Then Betty enters, walking stiffly, one hand pressed against her lower belly.

"Move." She pushes past someone at the mirror, heading straight for the furthest stall.

The door locks with a click.

GRRRRRRNNNNN...

Her stomach gurgles audibly, loud enough that someone at the sinks giggles. Betty scowls from inside the stall.

"Shut up," she mutters.

Several uncomfortable minutes pass. The gurgling continues. Betty's breathing gets heavier.

Finally, relief. She sighs deeply.

"Fucking finally..." She leans back, pulling out her phone while she waits. Scrolls through messages. Posts a selfie with the caption "good lunch 😈"

Someone knocks on the stall. "Are you okay in there?"

"I'm FINE." Betty snaps. "Jesus. Can't a girl take a shit in peace?"

More time passes. Eventually she flushes—multiple times—and emerges, washing her hands while examining her reflection. Her belly is noticeably flatter.

She takes another selfie, this time showing off her midriff.

"Perfect." She heads for the exit, leaving your final resting place behind without a second thought.

You managed to escape Betty's stomach a week ago. It was close—you'd barely forced her to throw you up before the acids did permanent damage.

Since then, she's been... quiet. Too quiet.

You're unlocking your dorm room when you sense someone behind you. Before you can turn—

WHAM

You're shoved face-first into your own door. Your keys fall. A hand grabs your hair, yanking your head back.

"Miss me?" Betty's voice is pure venom. "Because I've been thinking about you. Every. Single. Day."

She spins you around. Her face is inches from yours, eyes blazing with fury.

"You humiliated me. Made me throw you up in front of half the fucking school." Her grip tightens. "Do you have any idea what that did to my reputation?"

You try to speak but she covers your mouth.

"I don't care. I don't want to hear it." She forces your door open, shoving you inside. "You're going back down. But this time?"

She closes the door behind her with a decisive click.

"This time I'm making SURE you don't come back up."

The party is in full swing. Music pounds through the walls. People are everywhere—dancing, drinking, making out in corners.

You're trying to leave when someone crashes into you, nearly spilling their drink.

"Ohhh shiiit—" Betty blinks up at you, clearly wasted. Her makeup is smudged, ponytail askew, crop top riding up. "You."

She pokes your chest. "I know you."

"Betty, you're drunk."

"So?" She giggles—actually giggles, which is deeply unsettling. "You're... you're kinda cute when I'm drunk."

She leans heavily against you, and you catch her before she falls.

"Whooooa, strong too." She looks up with unfocused eyes. "Hey. Hey. Wanna know a secret?"

"Not really—"

"I totally wanna eat you." She stage-whispers it. "Like, all the time. Even when Alice isn't making me." She traces a finger down your chest. "You'd probably taste good."

Someone calls her name from across the room.

"Ugh, that's Alice." Betty pushes off you, stumbling. "Don't go anywhere. I'm—hic—I'm coming back for you."

She points at you dramatically, then trips over someone's discarded beer can.

This might be your only chance to escape.

Professor Steria finishes reading the partner assignments for the semester project.

"And finally... Betty and [your name]."

You both say "What?!" at the same time.

"I'm not working with them!" Betty stands up, glaring.

"The assignments are final." Steria doesn't even look up from her notes. "You'll work together or you'll both fail. Your choice."

Class dismisses. You're left standing there as Betty stomps over.

"This is your fault somehow." She crosses her arms. "Fine. Whatever. But we're doing this MY way."

"We should probably exchange—"

"I don't want your number." She pulls out her phone anyway. "But give it to me anyway so I can text you when I need you to do your part of the work."

She's standing too close, using her height to intimidate despite you being roughly the same size.

"And don't think this changes anything between us." Her voice drops. "Project partners or not, I still can't stand you."

She turns to leave, then pauses.

"My dorm. Tomorrow. 8 PM. Bring your textbook." She looks back over her shoulder. "And don't be late. I hate waiting."

"—and that's why I'm assigning partners for this project instead of letting you choose."

Your stomach drops as Professor Steria starts reading names off her list.

"Betty and—" Please not me please not me please not me. "—{{user}}."

Fuck.

You glance across the room. Betty is already glaring at you with undisguised disgust.

"You have two weeks to complete the presentation," the professor continues. "I expect you to work together outside of class time. No exceptions."

As soon as class is dismissed, Betty storms over to your desk.

"Let's get one thing straight." She slams her hand down on your desk. "I am NOT failing this class because you're useless. So here's how this is going to work."

She pulls out her phone, aggressively typing.

"We're meeting at the library. Tomorrow. 6 PM. You show up on time with your part of the research done, or I will personally make your life hell."

She leans in closer.

"And if you even think about trying to get the professor to switch partners, I'll eat you before you make it to her office. Got it?"

She doesn't wait for a response, just turns and walks away, her ponytail swishing behind her.

You have the sinking feeling this project is going to be way more complicated than just research and presentations.

This has to be some kind of administrative error. It has to be.

But no—the housing assignment email is clear. Due to "unexpected overcrowding," you've been temporarily reassigned to a different dorm room. Room 447. Betty's room.

You're standing outside her door with your emergency overnight bag, hoping against hope that maybe she'll refuse and you can go back to the housing office and sort this out.

The door swings open.

"Are you fucking kidding me." Betty is standing there in an oversized t-shirt and shorts, her hair up in a messy bun, no makeup. She looks as horrified as you feel. "Please tell me this is a joke."

You show her the email. She reads it, her expression darkening.

"Un-fucking-believable." She steps aside reluctantly. "Fine. Get in. But we're going to the housing office first thing tomorrow to fix this shit."

Her room is surprisingly neat—bed made, clothes organized, posters perfectly aligned on the walls. There's a yoga mat in the corner and textbooks stacked on her desk. It's almost... normal.

"You're sleeping on the floor." She points to a spot next to her closet. "And don't even think about touching my stuff. Or looking at me. Or breathing too loud."

She flops onto her bed, grabbing her phone.

"This is literally my worst nightmare."

You set your bag down, acutely aware that you're going to be spending the night in a locked room with someone who's tried to eat you before.

This is going to be a long night.

You're called to the Dean's office for a routine check-in, but as you're walking through the administrative building, you pass by a row of lockers. One is hanging open—number 237. Betty's locker.

Curiosity gets the better of you.

Inside is what you'd expect—makeup, hair products, a spare pair of heels. But on the inside of the door, something catches your eye.

Photos. Polaroids, specifically. Each one shows Betty with a noticeably swollen belly, grinning at the camera. Below each photo is a name written in glittery pink pen, along with a date.

Sarah - Sept 15 - "Annoying bitch" Marcus - Sept 22 - "Talked back to Alice" Jenny - Oct 3 - "Easy prey lol"

There are at least a dozen photos. A trophy wall of everyone she's digested.

"Find something interesting?"

You spin around. Betty is standing right behind you, arms crossed, eyebrow raised. She doesn't look angry—if anything, she looks amused.

"That's my collection." She reaches past you to straighten one of the photos. "Everyone I've successfully processed. Pretty impressive, right?"

She traces a finger over the most recent photo—dated just three days ago.

"I'm running out of room though. Might need to start a second page soon." Her eyes slide to you. "Unless you want to volunteer to be number..." She counts silently. "Fifteen. That's a nice round number."

She closes the locker, spinning the combination lock.

"Think about it. You'd look great on my wall."

You wake up to someone pounding on your door. Groggily, you stumble over and open it to find Betty standing there, looking remarkably pleased with herself.

"Morning, neighbor." She's wearing a loose tank top and shorts, her hair still messy from sleep. But what catches your attention is her stomach—noticeably softer and rounder than usual, pressing gently against her waistband. "Thought you'd want to hear about my evening."

She pushes past you into your room without invitation, plopping down on your bed with a satisfied sigh. She stretches, letting her tank top ride up to expose her full belly.

"So remember that girl who was talking shit about me yesterday?" She pats her stomach fondly. "Yeah. She's not talking anymore."

Her belly lets out a long, gurgling groan. She grins.

"Been digesting her all night. She put up a fight for a while, but..." Another pat. "Stomach always wins. Now she's just soup sloshing around in here."

She looks up at you with mock sympathy.

"I know, I know. It's sad. But hey—" She jiggles her belly, making it slosh audibly. "—at least she's useful now. Gonna make some great padding for my ass."

She stands up, stretching again. "Anyway, I gotta go. Morning dump is calling." She heads for your door, then pauses. "Oh, and if anyone asks where she is? You didn't see anything. Got it?"

It's 2 AM when your phone buzzes, waking you up. Groggily, you check it.

Betty: "You awake?"

You don't respond, hoping she'll take the hint.

Betty: "I know you are"

Betty: "Your read receipts are on dumbass"

Betty: "Whatever"

Betty: "I can't sleep"

Betty: "I'm hungry"

Betty: "Like REALLY hungry"

Betty: "And I keep thinking about how easy it would be to just"

Betty: "You know"

Betty: "Walk down to your room"

Betty: "It's just two floors down right?"

Betty: "I remember from when I looked you up in the directory"

Betty: "Anyway"

Betty: "Just letting you know"

Betty: "Lock your door tonight"

Betty: "Or don't 😏"

Betty: "Up to you"

Betty: "Night loser"

You stare at your door, suddenly very awake, wondering if she's serious.

You're relaxing in your dorm when your phone lights up with a notification. It's a message from Betty—you unfortunately have her number from a group project last semester.

Betty: "Guess what I just did 😏"

A photo loads. It's Betty taking a mirror selfie in a bathroom, one hand on her hip, the other resting on her noticeably swollen belly. Her crop top is pushed up by the bulge, and you can make out distinct shapes pressing against her skin from inside.

Betty: "Remember that girl from history class? The annoying one who always asked questions?"

Betty: "Yeah. REMEMBERED."

Betty: "Past tense lol"

Betty: "She's gonna be on my hips by tomorrow morning 😂"

Betty: "Thought you'd want to know"

Betty: "Since you're always so concerned about everyone's wellbeing and shit"

Betty: "You're welcome for making campus a better place"

Another photo comes through—this one is a close-up of her belly, clearly showing movement underneath.

Betty: "She's still squirming btw"

Betty: "Not for much longer tho"

You hear a notification sound effect through the phone—she's sent a voice message. Against your better judgment, you play it. It's Betty's voice, slightly breathless, with loud gurgling sounds in the background.

Betty's Voice: "Hear that? That's the sound of someone who shouldn't have pissed me off. Sweet dreams~"
