Picture of Mandy is on the top! :)

"Wake up, sleepyhead!" my dad said, opening the curtains. "Cover the curtains, dad!" I said, putting the blankets over me.

"Chandler will be at school today." my dad stated. I groaned and got out of bed. I went to the bathroom and took a long shower.

After, I got dressed into dark blue jeans, white tank top, and long sleeve crop top. I slipped on pink converse and walked to the kitchen.

I toasted my bread while watching Drake & Josh. I ate my bread.

I went to the sink and started brushing my teeth. "Dad, I'll walk to school." I said. "Are you sure you don't want me to drop you off?" my dad asked. "I'm sure." I replied.

I got out and began walking to school. A car horned. I looked back to see Chandler's car. "Hey, babe. Want a ride?" he asked. "No, I'm good, babe." I replied.

"But I don't want to see you walking alone." he pouted. I playfully rolled my eyes. "Fine." I said. I sat on the passenger's seat. "Hi, Mandy. Remember me?" someone asked. Grayson. "Yeah. Hi, Grayson." I said, smiling.

"I have to drop Grayson to school first." Chandler said to me. I nodded. We stopped at Etowah Elementary School. Grayson got out of the car. "Bye, Chandler. Bye, Mandy." he said. We waved goodbye.

Chandler drove to Etowah High School. He parked his car. We got out. "Had fun riding?" he smirked. "Yeah." I giggled.

"Chandler!" someone screamed. Claire. I rolled my eyes at her. She ran to Chandler and gave him a hug. The look on Chandler's face was disgusted.

"Stop hugging." I demanded. "Or else what?" Claire asked, never letting go of the hug. "Damn it, Claire! Just look at Chandler! He feels disgusted towards you!" I yelled.

"Let go, Claire!" Chandler shouted. She let go. "Thank you." I said sarcastically. She rolled her eyes. "If you hadn't come to this school in the first place, I would be making out with Chandler right now." Claire said to me. "In your dreams." I snapped.

"Oh, really? I can make my dream come true." Claire said. She grabbed Chandler and began kissing him. "Stop kissing him, Claire!" I shouted as tears started rolling down my face.

Chandler pushed Claire away. "I told you, Mandy. I can make my dream come true." Claire said to me. She walked away. "Are you okay?" I asked. "Yeah. I'd rather kiss you, though." he replied. I blushed.

The bell rang. "Let's go." Chandler said. We held hands while walking to our class. "Today, I will be assigning partners." the teacher said. "Lucy and Jessica. Tyler and Keith. Jacob and Lia. Lola and Hailey. Marissa and Candy. Jesse and Karey. Chandler and Jade. Tracey and Daniel. Mandy and Claire."

Fuck! I'm partners with Claire. "I will send out a worksheet and you guys have to answer it. Whoever has the most correct will win and they will earn extra credit." the teacher said.

"The first question is...why is the sky blue? This question is easy." he said. "Let me write it down." Claire said. I shook my head. "I know the answer so let me write it." I said, grabbing the paper.

"But I want to write the answer!" Claire whined. I rolled my eyes. "Okay, dumbass, what's the answer?" I asked. "Because things are blue." Claire said. I shook my head. "That's not the right answer, Claire." I said, taking the paper away.

"Then what is the answer?" Claire asked. "Molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than red light." I whispered. I wrote it down. "Time's up! The real answer is...molecules from the air scatter blue light from the sun." the teacher said. "Who got that correct?"

I raised my hand. "1 point for Claire and Mandy." teacher said. The game went on until the bell rang for lunch. Luckily, me and Claire won.

"Good job." Chandler said, kissing my cheek. "What about me, Chandler?" Claire asked. "You did great, I guess." Chandler said, scratching the back of his neck. I smirked.

"Let's go eat, babe." Chandler said. I nodded. We went to the cafeteria. I got 2 slices of pizza, an orange, an apple, 2 sandwiches, and chocolate milk. "Now I know why you're fat. You eat too much." Claire said loud enough for everyone to hear. They all laughed except Chandler.

I dropped my tray and ran outside. I cried as I ran to the bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror. Maybe I am fat. Maybe if I lose weight, everyone will like me better.

"You are fat. Stop eating. No one likes a fat ass like you. You are fat! Exercise!" the voices in my head said.

I ran back to the house and checked my weight. 130 pounds. I am fat. I jogged to the gym and began exercising. I checked my weight. 128 pounds. I just lost 2 pounds but that's not enough.

I exercised more. About 15 minutes later, I checked my weight again. 123 pounds. Not enough. I went to the treadmill and began exercising.

More sweat started forming. I stopped exercising and checked my weight one more time. 118 pounds. Shit, that's not enough. I checked my phone. A missed call and text from Chandler. It said: 'Babe, are you okay? Don't listen to Claire. She's just jealous of you. Please call me if you recieve this text.'

I called Chandler. "Mandy, are you okay?" Chandler asked. "Yeah." I said. "Claire is just jealous of you. Don't listen to her, babe." Chandler said. "Yeah. Chandler, I got to go. Talk to you later." I hung up.

I jogged back to my house and checked my weight again. Only 115 lbs. "Why are you sweaty?" my dad asked. "I jogged." I replied. I checked the time. 3:55.

My dad handed me some water. "How's school?" my dad asked. "Great." I lied. "I'll be in the kitchen if you need me." my dad said. I nodded. Someone knocked on the door. I opened it. It was Chandler. "I bought chocolates." Chandler said, grinning. "How thoughtful of you. Thanks." I said. I set the chocolates down on the table.

"Mandy, can I ask you a question?" he asked with a serious face. I nodded. "Are you trying to be anorexic?" he asked. I cried. "Yes." I said. He hugged me. I hugged back. "You're beautiful. Don't ever be anorexic." he said. "Chandler, I am fat." I said. He shook his head. "No, you are not. You are beautiful." he said.

"So why did Claire told me I'm fat?" I asked. "She's just jealous of how beautiful you are." Chandler replied. "Mandy, you are beautiful. You are the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. I love you, Mandy. I love you with all my heart." he added.

He kissed my cheek. "Stay beautiful, babe." he whispered. A smile grew on my face. "Can I stay here for the night?" he asked. I nodded.

We lay on the bed and I cuddled with Chandler. "Goodnight, babe." Chandler whispered. "Goodnight." I replied. We fell into a deep sleep.
