CHOCOLA FRAMBOISE (Patreon)

It was a cold day on campus. Mandy was sitting on the stoop outside the library, waiting for her study partner to show up. “Late as always” she thought. The discontent was plastered all over her face.

Her stomach growled. She hadn’t gotten food since this morning, and had a habit of forgetting lunch. She was just about to give up and go get a sandwich before-

“Hey Mandy!” The loud greeting took Mandy by surprise. Chocola, a dark skinned girl dressed in clothes far too revealing for this freezing weather was running up to her.

“What’s the matter,” Mandy. “Was your bikini in the wash?”

“I’m sure nobody would complain if I did,” Chocola laughed. “I know everyone loves their hot chocolate in weather like this, but I prefer frosty chocolate milkshakes myself. Besides, every day I show off this body is a day everyone gets the gift of my beauty for free.”

“You might wanna work on that low self-esteem,” Mandy said sarcastically. “Let’s get inside. I’m freezing and it’s already late”

As the two girls went inside, Mandy was happy to take off her coat and finally get comfortable. She took her books out of her backpack, but noticed that Chocola didn’t even bring a bag with her.

“Where are your books?”

“Books?” Chocola said with a wave of her hand. “I don’t need to bring any books, not when I’m sure my good friend Mandy will bring all the study materials for me.

Mandy growled under her breath, and her stomach growled along with her. She blushed. She sat down and tried to concentrate on the material, but was interrupted again by her persistent hunger.

“Sorry. I haven’t had anything since breakfast…”

“Oh no no no that won’t do…” said Chocola. “You’ve got to keep your energy up. Here!” She tore off the ring finger of her left hand and offered it to Mandy. “You know you waaaant it.”

“God Chocola do you have to?” Mandy jerked back with a cringe seeing her finger come off. Despite knowing that Chocola was a very unique mutant with a body made of pure chocolate, it was still weird to see someone casually detach limbs like that. She’d eaten parts of Chocola before but usually they were at least disguised as boxed chocolates or something.

“Pah! Here I am offering my own flesh to my best of best of bestest friends so that she doesn’t starve out in the cold, and she turns her nose up at me! Does no one have manners? Why, we have great myths in all religious of gods, goddesses, and great saviors offering their holy bodies to the starving, and yet here I am offering mine to you and-“

“Enough! Enough! Fine… I’ll take it” Mandy said, just happy to stop Chocola from continuing to rant about how wonderful and generous she is. She took the finger, took a deep breath, and threw it in her mouth. It was delicious! It tasted like raspberry. God she could probably just keep eating…

“Enjoying yourself?” Chocola said.

Mandy swallowed, “Chocola… you know you can’t keep doing this. I know you love people eating you but your chocolate is really strangely addicting… you shouldn’t just give parts of your body out. Control yourself.”

“Control myself!” Chocola said with shock. “I’ll have you know I am the very epitome of self control.”

“Oh yeah? What about last week when I picked you up at a party and the only thing left of you was your head?”

“Everyone was having a good time. Besides, I stopped at my head. That’s restraint my dear. That’s responsibility.”

“It took you two days to regenerate…”

“Two days well spent. Rest helps rejuvenate one’s natural beauty!”

“I had to do our group dissertation all alone….”

“A worthy price to pay for all the happiness I spread at that party. Everyone loves the taste of Chocola”

“Well, almost everyone…” Mandy said scribbling down some notes. “There’s that one kid, what’s his name, Phil?”

“What? Why would be possibly turn a delicious beauty like me down?”

“Because he doesn’t like chocolate, and you are made of chocolate?”

“What sort of mad man doesn’t like chocolate?”

“Someone…. Who doesn’t like the taste?” Mandy said, quirking an eyebrow.

“It’s not a matter of taste,” Chocola said rising from her seat. “It’s a matter of honor! Now where is this, Fred character…”

“Phil…, and he’s probably here studying like the rest of our class.”

“Perfect! I’ll be right back, Oh Frank!”

“It’s Phil! And don’t go running off… she’s gone.”

Chocola had already started running around the library asking random people if they were this infamous “Phil” character. Eventually, she found her target.

“Hello, Phil… right?” she said tapping a young man on the shoulder.

“Uh, that’s right. Chocola? Your that mutant in our class,” Phil said politely.

“The one and only, Chocola Framboise, most popular girl in the country. Everyone’s had a taste of me… except for you, and my dear that simply won’t stand.” She instantly ripped off a finger and placed it in front of notebook. “You should partake! Bon Apetit.”

“Uh.. no thanks…” said Phil. “I’m just not a big chocolate person,” he timidly picked up Chocola’s finger and offered it back to her.”

“I can hear your words but I don’t understand a thing you are saying. No one dislikes chocolate, now eat!” she said shoving her detached finger toward his face.

“Uhm… no no that’s OK. Chocolate just kind of makes me nauseous…”

“I make you WHAT!” Chocola yelled, as if it were a personal insult.

“It’s not you! It’s just… chocolate… you know… what you are made of? It’s nothing personal I just-“

“You listen here you tiny little man. You will not besmirch my good name like this. I am the most delicious girl on campus and you WILL EAT MY FINGER OR I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL…” Chocola was cut off by a hand grabbing her wrist from behind. It was a librarian, with a very stern look on her face.

“Out…” the librarian said plainly.

“Oh, I’m sorry. You see I was just trying to-“

“Out!” the librarian said again “Both of you” she said pointing to Mandy. “I will not have outbursts like this in my library.

Mandy quickly gathered up her things and walked back out into the cold, along with Chocola. She scowled, her face red from anger. “Well that’s just great. The work isn’t even close to done and now we have to find all these books online. “

Chocola wasn’t even paying attention “Who the hell does that little Phil think he is? No one dislikes chocolate…”

“Chocola!” Mandy said with an angry bark. “Are you even listening to me!?”

“Not personal? Of course it’s personal Phil. No one tells me that I make the nauseous. You are going to eat me if it’s the last thing I do!” Chocola raised her hands and yelled into the sky, causing the other students to look at her oddly. Mandy just covered her face in shame.
