Lorri by Hamlet As She looked back on Herr life there was no doubt about it, Lorri was a big Black Girl, a huge Girl; big and strong -She'd been so all Her life. By the time She was thirteen, Lorri was five feet ten inches tall and weighed nearly 220 pounds. At sixteen,the attractive, big Black Girl topped six feet two inches and approached 300. Despite Her best efforts at weight control, Lorri continued to grow larger until finally, at around the age of18, Her growth spurt finally stopped. By that time, however, She stood six feet six inches tall and weighed around 400 pounds. For obvious reasons, Hers was not an easy adolescence. Being a Girl with Her dimensions, and strength, definitely had its disadvantages; especially in creating feat at the school Sarah Broomall She went to in Stratford East London. ,Lorri had a very difficult time making friends especially as She had a very aggressive forward personality ; Most of the boys were intimidated by Her Sheer size and great physical strength. School culture being what it is, very few people wanted to be seen with a huge Black Girl of Amazonian size. ". Another person might have been broken by the experience, but not Lorri. Instead of feeling sorry for Herself, She learned to cope with it by excelling at everything She did. Eventually She decided to form a Black Girl gang as well Scholastically She was a top student and made the top grade in every subject . Her great size and strength helped Her in athletics where She became the East London champion in both the shot put and discus; Her distances excelling those of Her male counterparts. Lorri was also the star centre on the girl's basketball team. One of Her greatest thrills in school occurred when, in the school's open wrestling tournament, She humiliated the defending champion- an arrogant, conceited football player who was constantly teasing Her about Her size. She played with the 300 pound tough guy in front of the entire school before finally pinning him; he never teased Her again.Lorri even excelled at chess, where She led Her team to the East London title. But, despite Her successes, Lorri lacked the one thing She wanted the most; a boyfriend For several weeks Lorri had noticed the good looking, but somewhat shy, boy sitting off to the side in Her English literature class. When She would catch him looking at Her, he would quickly avert his eyes. She felt he wasn't staring at Her though, just looking. " Could he really be interested in Me ? " She thought to Herself. " Is this someone who actually isn't turned off by My size ? " For the next few days Lorri watched...and waited.Finally, when She could contain Her curiosity no longer, Lorri approached him after their class was over, held out Her hand towering over him in Her superior height and said," Hello, my name is Lorri; what's yours ? " An awkward moment followed as the boy, somewhat taken aback by Her straightforward approach, seemed to be at a loss for words. " Si--imon," he replied at length and shook Her hand. " Well Simon, I have a break before My next class. Would you like to join Me for a cup of coffee ? " Another moment of silence followed - probably the longest moment in Lorri's life - before She heard the words She desperately wanted to hear..." Yes, a cup of coffee would be great about now." The first hurdle had been cleared. As they sat and talked, Lorri and Simon discovered they had a lot of common interests. They read the same authors,enjoyed the same films,shared similar tastes in music, and liked to go on long walks; Simon even played chess, although he would always lose when he played Her. . The more they talked, the more they seemed to like one another -Lorri's vastly superior size and intelligence seemed less and less important. But, as they rose to leave, Simon looked up at the massive Girl in front of him and paused...and Lorri's heart dropped. "Here it comes," She thought to Herself," now he's going to notice just how large I am...and feel intimidated.Will it never end ? " Another long pause followed, and thenSimon nervouslysaid," Lorri...I think...you...you're...so...sexy. Would you like to out on a date ? " Lorri smiled and definitely said yes! As the weeks passed, their friendship blossomed. Being Her first true boyfriend, Lorri gave it everything She had -and She had a lot to give. Simon -who was indeed very introverted and never had a real 'Girlfriend' before - gave it right back to Her. Things seemed to be going great for them; until an incident at the school threatened to derail their whole relationship. Simon had agreed to meet Lorri one afternoon after his history class in front of the school common room and then they'd go for a walk. Arriving early, Simon decided to go inside and have a cup of coffee. As he entered, Simon saw the usual groups of pupils sitting off in corners. Around a large table in the centre of the room sat about twenty pupils ; football players etc. They were mingling withsix cheerleaders. As Simon didn't mix with that crowd, he bought a coffee and walked over to an empty table off to the side. He couldn't help but hear the##'giggling as he walked past their table though, and he knew why. As he sat down, Simon noticed that the football players and cheerleaders kept pointing over in his direction and laughing. Inside, Simon began to seethe; " Why can't they just leave Her alone. So She's big; She's also a wonderful person...people can be so cruel." He might have kept his temper in check, had one of the more obnoxious pricks not gotten up and sauntered over to his table. "Well, you're the boyfriend of that Lorri Girl aren't you...and I use the word 'Girl' loosely. What's it like, being in bed with a big Black whale ? " When he said this, the entire table of football players and cheerleaders laughed; and Simon anger overwhelmed his restraint. Although he knew that he was no match for the football player that stood in front of him, he no longer cared. He, as well as his Girlfriend, had just been insulted;##'he felt he had to do something.Rising to his feet, Simon tossed his half empty glass of coffee into the arrogant man's face. " Screw you, asshole," he shouted with uncharacteristic courage. Before Simon knew what was happening, the infuriated football player grabbed him by his shirt collar, cocked back his fist and prepared to rearrange his face. Overmatched, Simon prepared himself for the worst...and then he heard a loud female voice cry out,"Stop it right there ! That's My boyfriend...LEAVE HIM THE HELL ALONE ! " A deafening silence followed as Lorri's majestic leather clad form entered the room. She seemed to have arrived just in the nick of time; for Simon that is.As She made Her way over to where Simon and his antagonist stood, the angry Blackazon shed the restraints that had- for so many years - tempered Her behaviour towards those who had rejected Her. She had learned to deal with it for Herself...but this was Her boyfriend. Why should Simon be subjected to these humiliations?This was unacceptable, and Lorri could not, would not, allow it.##' A kind of eerie silence crept over the school common room as all the students present stared at the dramatic scene that was unfolding before them. "Take your hands off him now you arsehole!"##'Lorri demanded," or you'll regret it for a long time to come." Though She outweighed him by nearly 150 pounds, he was a football player in top shape. He certainly wasn't about to back down from a girl -not in front of his friends and the cheerleaders. " And what if I don't ? " he responded arrogantly, "What are you going to do about it, you Black tub of lard ? " A strange smile then appeared on Lorri's pretty face as She replied," I was sort of hoping you'd say something like that." Without saying another word, She raised Her##'arm and " WHACK !", slapped him hard across the face with Her open hand. Such was the force of Her blow that the football player spun around and fell to the floor. " Why you fat bitch, you'll pay for that." He got to his feet and threw a punch at Lorri but She, showing a speed which one would never expect from a Girl so large, put up Her arm and##'blocked his fist in mid-air. She then grabbed him by the collar of his shirt with one hand and, with the other, his belt buckle. Lorri then lifted the stunned man high above Her head in Her outstretched arms. Without showing any sign of strain, She then carried him over to the table where his friends sat and slammed him down on top of it; shattering the table and showering his friends with coffee. With Her hands on Her hips, Lorri smiled at them and said, " Sorry about that, but your friend Here really needed a lesson in table manners." Twenty enraged a then rose from their chairs and encircled Her - twenty against one Girl. Looking over at Simon, Lorri winked and said in a calm voice that belied the situation She was in," You stay there sweetie pie where you'll be safe...I'll handle this." Then, turning Her attention back to the boys that now surrounded Her, She said," My beef wasn't with you, just your friend there. If you'll all just return to your chairs, we can forget about this little incident; if not, well...do all you big, strong boys really want to fight little old Me ? " The answer was 'yes'. As fellow football players , they were offended by what had happened to their friend at the hands of this Girl. They felt they had to avenge his humiliation. It didn't matter that he was the one who instigated it in the first place. He was one of them and the score had to be settled. And if that wasn't reason enough, all the cheerleaders were yelling," C'mon guys, kill that fat Black bitch ! " Sometimes people are in control of events, and sometimes events are in control of people. This would definitely fall into the latter category. Completely surroundedby large, strong, muscular (and angry)##'football players, seeking revenge for their friend's humiliation, Lorri's situation might have seemed pretty hopeless. Indeed, the scene in the student union that day did have a look of surrealism about it - twenty men against one woman. But this wasn't just any woman...this was Lorri, a six foot-three inch, 400 pound Blackazon; and what followed became legend. As the athletes closed in on Her, Lorri stood up on one of Her toes and began to twirl around in a perfect ballet pirouette. How a 400 pound woman could spin around with such grace and perfect balance remains a mystery, but graceful She certainly was. She then did something no ballerina would ever do. She extended Her arms and made fists while spinning around rapidly.##'WHAM ! POW ! SMASH ! Three of the closest football players were literally sent flying across the room after they made contact with Lorri's fists. BAM ! WHACK ! SLAM ! three more were flattened by thefemale tornado. " WHEEEE, this is so much fun !," Lorri laughed as She continued to twirl around knocking athletes all over the place. No matter how big or strong they were, once She connected with Her fist they went down...and didn't get up again. In an amazing display of Her power and strength,Blackazon Lorri ( as She would be known from now on throughout the school,##'much to Her delight##') beat up eighteen of the twenty men She faced; in less than three minutes. Only two remained, and they were cowering in one of corners. Smiling, Lorri approached them.##'She grabbed each one byte shirt and lifted them both off the floor - together, they weighed over 400 pounds ! " Tell you what I'm gonna do boys. If you apologize to by boyfriend for being rude to him,I'll let you off easy. If not...Bonk, Bonk." She playfully banged their heads together a couple of times as a warning to what She'd do to them if they didn't. Needless to say, they apologized. Lorri then hung them both up on a coat rack. Now, there was just one more thing to take care of. She walked over to the six cheerleaders who were just standing by the shattered table in a state of shock; not believing what they had just seen.##'" Fat Black bitch eh ? Well, we'll see about that." Grabbing them all by their long hair, Lorri tied them together in tight a knot. " There, that should keep you girls occupied for awhile." Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a date with My boyfriend." When Lorri returned to Simon, he had a very strange look on his face. He too, was in something of a state of shock. After all, he just witnessed his Girlfriend beat up twenty big, strong guys...he probably couldn't even beat the weakest of them. How was it possible? It seemed beyond belief.##'Lorri felt his consternation and knew She must act quickly...or She might lose him. Taking Simon by the hand, She led him out of the student union building to a secluded area where they could be alone. " Simon," She began," I know what you must be thinking. After what you just saw me do, I can't blame you if you're having##'second thoughts about our relationship. But you have to understand something about Me. . I'm a big, strong Black Girl and##'##'proud of it. But I don't want you to ever be intimidated by Ne. I'd never hurt you Simon...because...I love you. You're the kindest, sweetest person I've ever met. That's why I did what I did; I couldn't let that bully hit you. And as for his friends, they were teasing you because you are my friend. Yes, I saw what was happening. I was sitting off in a corner when you entered the school common room. I saw it all. They deserved the beating I gave them; as will anyone else who teases you from now on. ' When Lorri finished, Simon had tears in his eyes. Impulsively he hugged his six foot-three inch, 400 pound SuperGIRL. "Lorri, I love you too. I've loved you since I first saw you in our English literature class. You're so big...so strong; the kind of Girl I've always fantasized about. I just couldn't bring myself to talk to you. I was so happy that day you asked me out for coffee." As they continued to embrace each other, Simon felt himself being slowly lifted off the ground and he knew that Here, snug and secure in Lori's massive arms, he was safe...that no harm would ever come to him...that there was no place else he'd rather be.##'" Come sweetheart," She whispered softly in his ear," let's go home."
