Hi, a bit nervous since itās my first time posting on here and tumblr in general. Iāve always been a lurker and enjoyed the content quietly, Iāve known Iāve liked this for years now. But what happened today was too perfect to not share.
So Iām in college, a small campus but still a fair amount of people. My first class is at 9am, and I almost never eat breakfast. I have plenty of stories of my own stomach or others growling during class but today was different. In this class we have an exam later this week and pretty much everyone is nervous about it. A girl that Iāve been slowly becoming friends with, suggested to host a big study session for anyone who wants to come.
I obviously say yes because I know Iāll def fail this exam lol. So class ends around 10:45, and I follow her to the quiet lounging area. About 5 other girls from our class joined and we began to study. We all talk, helping each other and also just getting to know one another since weāve never all talked like this. About 30 minutes go by and I notice I start to feel hungry. Which is odd, I always skip breakfast and never felt hungry before, whyās it different?
Then I realize that at this time, I usually go to the campus cafe to eat but instead Iām across the building studying. In a large group, in a quiet area. I felt almost giddy and anxious at the thought of someone hearing my stomach. Itās literally my fantasy coming true.
As we continue to study, I start to rub my belly through my shirt. I could feel the ache growing, that feeling of your stomach tightening up right before a growl. Just as the pressure released and I could feel the growl vibrate my hand, the girl across from me suddenly talked loudly since she just understood the material. I feel disappointed but also relieved that the loud grumble was covered up.
My stomach is thankfully quiet for the next 15 or so minutes. The group starts to break up since most of them had another class to attend. Now itās just me and my friend. She had asked if I wanted to keep studying and I said sure, since I didnāt have another class for another 2 hours. Then a beautiful girl comes in, asking if itās too late to join.
We both immediately welcome her in our group. Btw Iām gay and sheās almost exactly my type. I felt flustered as she sat on the small couch with me, shoulder to shoulder. My stomach thankfully behaved as the 3 of us began to study.
A couple of minutes goes by and from the corner of my eye, I notice the pretty girl shift slightly in her seat. She shifts again before discreetly pressing her hand to her stomach. Discrete to everyone but me, because of course I always notice these small tells. But it was too good to be true. Could she actually be hungry too?
Our quiet talking has briefly paused as we all highlight and make notes in our study guides. Then suddenly, a loud unmistakable hungry growl sounded out. It was a quiet grumble before growing louder in volume. It went on for about 5 seconds before tampering off. She doesnāt say anything, doesnāt look up, doesnāt even seem embarrassed. I felt myself freeze and my face become warm. Before I could even comprehend what happened, her stomach growled again! This time for even longer but it was quieter. But because I was sitting next to her, I could hear it clearly.
I shifted in my seat, trying to play it cool as I replayed the sound over and over in my head. She then starts talking about the material again, like nothing even happened. I eventually got over my shock and stuttered out my own thoughts about what we were talking about. My flusteredness began to die down as we focused on preparing for the exam again.
But it didnāt last long since the ache in my own stomach continued to grow. I flinched when my stomach suddenly growled loudly for several seconds. I press my notebook against my belly, trying to muffle the sounds which obviously donāt work. I feel my face grow even warmer as I glanced up at both girls. I was surprised to see them both working on their own study guide. Itās so odd how people who donāt have this kink are so normal about anything stomach related. No reaction to growls or just saying the word stomach or belly, and anything else related to hunger.
For the next half hour, the pretty girlās stomach and my own practically take turns grumbling loudly in the quiet room. As if competing for who was hungrier. I was beyond flustered and could barely focus on actually studying. I was focused on listening to the growls, noting the differences. My stomach released high pitched whines, probably from being used to skipping meals often. While her stomach was deep and low, it sounded starved like it wasnāt used to it.
Just when I thought it couldnāt get better than this, my irl fantasy became better. It was now almost 1pm, weāve been working for almost 2 hours. Then a growl that was louder and longer than any of the previous ones sounded out. My eyes widened, that wasnāt mine, and it wasnāt close enough to be the pretty girlās. I slowly glance up at my friend whoās across the table. I just caught her laughing quietly to herself as he hand pressed against her own belly.
Oh my god, how is this happening to me?? All 3 of us are clearly starving and I'm the only one whoās reacting! I cleared my throat awkwardly and said how I need to get to class. My friend says thank god I said something, because she was tired of studying.
The 3 of us stood up and began packing our things. My friend says how sheās gonna head to the cafe because was starving. She even said, and I quote, āIām so fucking hungry. My stomachās been yelling at me since we started.ā Iām like frozen, she actually admitted it out loud! Iām thankful that with my complexion, my blush isnāt visible.
Then the pretty girl pressed a hand to her stomach with a laugh as it growled again. āSame, Iām starving. But I have another class too.ā Iām so upset that I donāt share another class with her, Iād love to keep secretly listening.
We eventually split up and I headed to my last class of the day which asl. I was so caught up with listening to their stomachs that I forgot that I was still starving. And now I have to be in a class where weāre not allowed to talk, and thereās no sounds to cover up my growling belly. Iāve already had several instances of my stomach growling once or twice in this class but today was even worse.
Iāve never felt this hungry or fluffed before. I spent the entire class with a hand pressed against my stomach. I would squirm in my chair whenever I felt the growl building up low in my gut before releasing loudly. No one around me reacted, which somehow made me feel more flustered. When class ended, I walked with my friend who sat next to me. She asked what my plans were for the day since she knew this was my last class. I said how I wanted to get food then head home. She laughed as we stood next to each other on the elevator.
āWhatās funny?ā I asked her, pressing the floor we were going to. āIām just glad youāre getting food, your stomach was so loudā she laughed before getting off on her floor. I feel my face become even hotter as the doors close and Iām left alone on the elevator. Today, Iāve never felt so flustered or experienced as hot as this. Again I have so many stories of my stomach growling in public or hearing someone elseās (maybe Iāll share them?) but today was the first time multiple instances happened in one day. And having someone commenting on it! Thanks for reading, now I kinda wanna skip lunch again just to recreate this š
I totally didnāt proofread and again first post so sorry if I did it wrong or anything!
