Plump

Hard times

I have always been bullied for my weight and shape, yes I am bigger than others but I get bullied 24/7. It's worse at home because when my parents invite their friends over and most of my other family they tell me to go to my room and don't come out until they have left, they say I will embarrass them. It's different at school, the other teenagers talk about me like I am the news around the school, the teachers even say to stop eating so much but all I eat for lunch at school is an apple, a sandwich and a protein bar. The students call me fatty, Humpty Dumpty, etc..

 Apart from all the fat-shaming I have a pretty boring life. I get up, eat breakfast, go to school, walk home, do my homework and I even cook for myself because my parents tell me to stop eating so I decided to cook for myself. I read a book and cuddle my cat then go to sleep and repeat that everyday apart from the weekends. On the weekends my parents normally go out for the evening with friends or by themselves so I have the house to myself. I sometimes stress eat, when my parents are working or if they are out,  I will eat crisps, biscuits and leftover cake to make myself feel happy again. I love my food even though I eat healthy, I want to be a food critic when I am older because I can try people's amazing dishes and still be healthy. One time my parents came home early and saw me stress eating. They took matters into their own hands and threw every food in front of me in the trash and then they would go to my room to search for anything that I might've had, as in food. I don't keep snacks in my room since I don't like making messes in my room. I would have to clean for hours because of all my stuff thrown on the floor. 

Present day: This morning I woke up around 7:30am since school started at 9:00am and I had to walk, it would take me 12 minutes to walk to my school. My best friend James waited by a bench just outside the school. I walked up to him and he said we had an assembly this morning at 9:30am. I wondered what the assembly was about, it could be for the basketball team or a teacher retiring, it's unlikely to be about fat-shaming or bullying going on in the school. James and I walked into the school with people staring at me like normal. James left me to go to his locker in his form group since he was in a different form group than me. I was put in the form group with my biggest enemy, Amber Fletcher, the most popular girl in the school.

 As soon as I walked up to my locker to get my books, here comes Amber with her minions pushing my shoulder up against the lockers and said "move fat ass," then walked away with a smirk on their faces. I got my books then the principal spoke on the intercom telling all students from year 8 to year 13 and staff to go to the assembly hall immediately. I met up with James and we walked to the hall. We sat in the back next to the caretakers and cleaners. The principal (Mr Phelps) and vice principal (Mrs Cornwell) walked up to the stage and Mr Phelps started talking. He was speaking about climate change week and how we would be going on a cycle trip to support climate change week. 

He didn't talk for long but we were dismissed from assembly, I was held back by Mrs Cornwell and she said that I couldn't go on the cycle trip and I shouted 'Why Not' and she said "don't you dare speak to me like that and you are not coming because you are overweight and you will keep everyone delayed since you won't be able to carry your bag or yourself on a bicycle." I said that it was ridiculous and left the hall. I told James what happened and he said that she is so cruel with me. He even said that if I wasn't allowed to go he wouldn't either and I said no James you go on the trip, don't miss out because of me, he said fine. 

 I got home and my parents were waiting for me outside the house and they said they were invited to another dinner party and I said ok so I'll be home alone? Mum said "no your older cousin Kyla will be babysitting you since of what happened the last time." I was frustrated and went to my room to start my homework. As soon as I finished my homework there was a knock on the door, it was Kyla, I walked out of my room to greet her cause that's what my parents told me to do. Kyla walked in and she was wearing emo clothes. Fishnet tights, doc martens, a black skirt, a thrasher top and black make-up, she also had a lot of facial piercings and ear piercings, it was like you couldn't recognise her at all!

 My parents left shortly after and then Kyla sat on the couch taking something out of her bag. I couldn't see what she was taking out of the bag since I was still standing by my bedroom door. I finally saw what she had, it was a big box of chocolates and she looked over at me saying "go to your room fat ass." I frowned then walked away. I sat at my desk petting my cat who was sitting on my desk. I heard this loud music starting up, I peeked out my bedroom door to see that Kyla had someone else at the house, he was tall and emo looking. I put my head back in my room and closed the door, I put headphones on and fell asleep on my bed...
