Fat Joe was coming from the corner where McDonald was. He was eating hamburger on his right hand while sipping on coke which was in the other hand. As he walked, it seemed like a bulldozer was approaching. Joe was six feet five with a stomach size of a pig. Nobody looked like him. Anyway, he was walking on the street. Suddenly, a weird thing happened.
Land was vibrating upside down, and then Fat Joe vanished. But only a hole was there. People were surprised on one side but they were also happy that land did not vibrate anymore. People were curious about the hole and Fat Joe. So, they sent one person to explore the hole.
“Hey! Ranus! Take a look at this hole. What a hole. Seems like a job for a trash like you!”
“Leave Fat Joe right there. Who gon’ give a thing if he’s a goner? He ain’t got no further or thing. Just leave it that way, man.”
“Shut up and go done. Unless you’re going to be fired.”
“Okay, alright. I’m going down.”
Soon Ranus was lowered down. It took a long than expected. The hole was deep, and the deeper it was, he got more curious about what happened to Joe. Suddenly, the box, that Uranus was on, crushed to the ground. And he saw a huge pool of blood.
“Oh my! What is this goddamn place? A huge pool of blood? I ain’t gonna stay here!” I screamed.
Suddenly, the floor shook like crazy then a loud voice thundered. “How rude! This isn’t blood but melted red chocolate, you fool.” It was Joe I suppose, covered with red substance all over him but strangely he seemed much smaller and slimmer. He wiped his face and I’ll tell you. I have never seen such a handsome face since I was born.
From that day on, he was no longer Fat Joe. Nobody told him to get lost or call him “fat lard”. Some people even suggested him to become a movie star. Many changes occurred and he decided to give the love letter to the girl he liked for months. In the past, Joe thought that he was too ugly that Mary will hate him. But after his appearance changed, he decided to give the letter which he kept for few months.
"It was March 17th when I first saw you. That was the time when I just arrived in American and couldn't speak English except the simple words like 'yes' or 'cool. School was a torture every day. I couldn't understand a thing that teachers talked about. I couldn't hang out with anyone because there was nobody next to me. I was lost in a middle of nowhere. I felt abandoned and alone. That's when I saw you, next to me, shining as brightly as a star upon a black sky.
Yes, I have a crush on you. Every single word from your mouth was beautiful, even though I couldn't understand much of it. I was quite sure you were saying something pretty. I strongly desired to listen and speak to you. However, the obstacle of language segregated us so firmly. I couldn't speak a word to you because I was afraid that you'd avoid me.
I wanted to tell you many things. I wanted to tell you that you smile lit the darkest corners of my life. I wanted to tell you that my heart was yours. But the only thing I was able to say to you was just "yes" and "cool". Because of this language barrier, all I could do was to wait for that day I'm able to communicate with you fully, and just watch you pass by the lockers every day. A year passed and my patience had reached its limit. I started the morning with a thumping heart.
You are beautiful, as usual, and I am no more than a coward. You stayed next to me and helped me to go through everything I suffered at school. However, I now have the courage. And today is the day. I am here, behind you." she said, as she read through Joe’s letter.
Behind her, with his heart thumping, face red as a tomato, he held my breath as she turned towards Joe...... But the words she said shocked him.
“Sorry, Joe. I liked you when you were chubby but now you are just like one of those guys in the TV. I’m really sorry but…….”
Before she finished talking, he fell on the ground and started crying. So sad he was, he cried and yelled for three hours. But that did not stop her from changing her decision. To erase her from his mind, Joe decided to go to where he used to belong: McDonald. At there, he ordered seven hamburgers and ate them all by himself. From that day, he went to fast food restaurant every day to soothe his feelings.
Exactly one month later, he became Fat Joe again.
