You know what the worst feeling? When everybody laughs at you. You feel anger bubble up inside you. Well that's what Carla was feeling now. With everybody laughing at her she couldn't take it.
Covering her tears, she ran back inside, hoping to avoid the three girls that harassed her earlier. She knew people wouldn't like her size, but this was going too far. She was one minute away from going home, but then she heard a voice yelling after her.
"Hey! Wait up!" Carla swiveled around and saw a woman with dyed pink hair sprinting toward her.
"Your name is Carla right?" Pink hair asked. Carla responded with a meek, "yes." Pink hair looked relieved.
"Hi! I'm Jennifer! I am your love coach this season! I will guide you through your fantabulous journey of love!" Pink hair, I mean, Jennifer said it a dreamy tone. Carla was shocked by her kindness, especially because everyone here was so cruel and vain.
"Um hi. I'm really not in the mood right now. I just got harassed by all the contestants out there. I'm going home." Carla said ice cold. Jennifer's blue eyes widened.
"But you can't! Your journey of love is just beginning!" Carla scoffed.
"Well, I want it to end." Carla sneered.
"Pleaaasseeee?? Just stay for a couple days and see how it turns out!" Jennifer pleaded. Carla rolled her eyes.
"Fine." She responded. Jennifer jumped up, whooping.
"Ok. The season always starts off with a pool party!" Jennifer explained.
"I made this swimsuit for you!" Jennifer held up a colorful two piece. Carla reluctantly accepted.
She went into the communal bathroom and tried it on. When she got back to Jennifer, she applauded loudly.
"You look absolutely gorgeous!" Jennifer exclaimed.
"Yeah! You're right! I do!" Carla said, feeling a bit more confident now that she had Jennifer's guidance. She strutted out into the pool area.
All heads turned to look at her. She ignored the nasty whispers she heard and dipped her feet into the pool, sitting on the edge. Then, an attractive, tanned man sat beside her. He had an Australian accent.
"Hello! I am George. Pleasure to meet you." His golden hair glistened in the sunlight.
Carla was so mesmerized the only words that came out where "glab...dujaa...vahekl" George chuckled, but not in a mean way. They talked the whole party. Then a man in a colorful outfit started playing some music. Carla assumed he was a DJ. She and George started dancing together.
"You know Carla? Your really fun. I don't care about your size." George said. Carlas heart fluttered. But then, George threw a cake right in her face.
"Hahaha! Look at the Pig! She's so fat, a whole cake is just a midnight snack!" George remarked in the cruelest, most mocking tone. Every contestant started laughing their asses off. Carla started to sob. She ran to the bathrooms, locked the door, and just cried, cried, and cried.
