Defying Broadway Gravity

6) High school horrors

Sadie took me to a neat little place called Chair Cafe ( A.N: I made this place up aka original idea). The cafe had a different set of chairs at each table. For example, one table had wooden chairs and another had beanbags! Sadie and I sat at a table for two by a window with big plush chairs that swallowed you up.

By the time we got our food (Sadie got a steak hamburger and I got a fruit salad) Sadie and I where in deep conversation.

"So about that Kyle guy-"

Sadie started.

"I knew this would come up,"

I complain and Sadie smiles.

"He's cute and a good singer! Plus I think someone sitting across from me might have feelings for him!"

"Shut up Sadie!"

Sadie smiles at me widely and I just look down at my fruit salad which has lost its appeal.

"Even if I do like him it doesn't mean he will like some-someone like me..."

My voice chokes as I remember my years in high school.

Flash back to the past

Today was my first day at my new school and I hated it! Everyone made fun of me. No one at the school cared that I could sing, dance, and act they just wanted to shoot me down and make me feel bad.
As I walk out of my last class almost in tears I rush to my locker being called names like 'Fatty' 'idiot' 'scratchy throat' 'the screecher' or 'that fat new girl.'

As the days went by everyone had acquired a new name for me 'the fat screecher' which made me really self conscious. One day we had to share our dreams for the future with the class. I went first and everyone including the teacher laughed when I said I wanted to be on Broadway. One girl in my audience yelled out "you will never get on Broadway if you are still that fat by the time you are done with high school!" And that's how it started.

I started starving myself. I would pass out from hunger and being exhausted. In my Junior year I took up running until I would faint. I made many attempts to get rid of any fat I had but the one thing I never noticed is that I was already too skinny when I started starving myself.

By the time I was almost seventeen it started becoming a real, sirius (a.n:if you get that then you are cool) problem. My mother made me eat three full meals a day. Now and days I don't starve myself but I don't eat unless I am absolutely hungry.

I hate myself every time I look in a mirror because what I see looking back at me is an extremely flat/plain tall girl that isn't ugly but still far from beautiful.

"Hello? Earth to Tamsin! Can you hear me?!"

I get snapped out of my daze by Sadie waving wildly in front of my face. I laugh because she looks truly like an idiot flailing her arms like that.

"Sorry zoned out,"

I grin apologetically and Sadie grins back.

"Now why wouldn't Kyle like a girl like you? You are beautiful, nice, kind, smart, a great singer/actress/dancer, and you are going to be on Broadway!"

Emotions over take me. I smile and give Sadie a hug because that was the first real complaint anyone has ever given me.

"Thank You,"

I mumble in her ear.

"Well I am Glinda the Good!"

We both start laughing again and enjoy the rest of our time with each other until we both head home. I can tell Sadie and I are going to be great friends!

(A.n: kinda short, I know, but my mind is somewhere els...
