"Hey, big momma. How's it going?" Two boys started walking down the hallway with me.
My immediate reaction was to tense up and grip onto my books tighter. I looked at the ground and watched my footsteps trying to walk faster, yet both boys kept up with my pace.
"Where you running too, big momma?" The second boy asked placing his arm around my shoulder.
I tried removing myself from under his arm, but he pulled me back into him.
"Can you please leave me alone, Klay?" I asked so quietly that I had barely heard myself speak.
"Come on, short stacks, I thought we were having fun." Klay says teasingly as he shakes me.
I tense up even more and try to slip out from under his arms, but just like before he won't let me.
"Big momma looks uncomfortable. Might want to let her go before she eats you." Jefferson said laughing with Klay.
I stopped walking and finally pushed Klay off of me. "Can you please leave me alone." I begged both of them.
I hated when people mentioned my weight. I knew I wasn't the most skinniest person in the world, but I couldn't help my size. Mostly everyone in my family was big. It was just hereditary.
"Big momma, don't be like that." Jefferson said trying to pull me into his arms this time.
I slapped his arm away from me, while clutching onto my books in my other arm. "Both of you just leave me alone," I said before hurrying down the hallway away from them.
"You can run but you can't escape us, short stacks." I heard Klay yell down the hallway as I ran off.

"You will be fine stop worrying," my mom told me as she walked with me to my dorm room.
I wiped my sweaty palms off on my shorts, my hands would not stop sweating and I could feel my armpits sweating as well. "What if everyone hates me?" I panicked.
"No one is going to hate you. Trust me you are a great person everyone will love you if you be yourself." My mom tried comforting me, but I just felt worse than before.
I suddenly stopped walking and froze in shock. "Kennedy, what's wrong?" My mom asked worriedly stopping with me.
I didn't even hear her speaking to me because my focus was on the guy across the schoolyard. I began to hyperventilate. Why was he here?
"Kennedy," my mom shook me making me come back to the present.
My breathing gradually slowed down, but my heart was still beating rapidly in my chest. "Mom," my voice shook, "what is he doing here?"
"Who, sweetie?" My mom asked looking around the campus.
"Klay is here. Why?" I clench my fists trying to keep myself calm.
"Fate?" My mom says shrugging her shoulders.
I turn to stare at her and she turns to look at me. "What?" She asks.
"He bullied me for years," I tell her.
"Sweetie, that was so long ago." My mom says nonchalantly making me grow more angry.
"It ended two months ago, when we graduated." I reminded her with my voice growing slightly louder.
"Honey, it was so long ago who cares." My mom said rubbing my shoulder.
I rolled my eyes before walking off towards my dorm. I didn't want Klay to see me and I was going to avoid him at all costs.

"Big momma, is that you?" I heard someone ask me from behind.
My body instantly tensed up knowing who was talking to me. I decided to face forward and pretend that I did not hear Klay talking to me.
Not even a second later someone wrapped their arm around my shoulder. "It is you big momma." Klay said from beside me.
I cringed and tried to get out from under his arms, yet he would not let me.
"You look good what happened to you?" Klay asked making me roll my eyes.
I knew I looked good because I did nothing but exercise and eat healthy. "It's called working out," I said removing myself from under Klay's arm and walking off.
As soon as I was out of Klay's view I sprinted off trying to get as far away from him as possible. I hated being around him because he brought up nothing but bad memories.
***
"We meet again," Klay spoke standing beside me.
"Are you serious," I muttered under my breath turning to face Klay.
"I heard that," he chuckled.
"Can you just leave me alone?" I asked as politely as I could.
"Now why would I do that?" He asked menacingly.
"Because you've tortured me all throughout high school and I just want to be left alone." I told him hoping he would listen to me.
"I can't do that." He said seriously.
"And why not?" I ask him becoming more annoyed by the minute.
"You've grown so much. You're so beautiful now I just want to go out with you."
I look at him in disgust before getting up and walking away.
***
"Kennedy, why won't you go out with me?" Klay asks sitting in front of me.
I look up from my homework to give him a look. "Are you serious?" I ask him with complete disbelief.
"Yeah, I'm serious." he says nodding his head.
"You bullied me throughout high school." I glare at him.
"That was in the past and this is now. I'm sorry for what I did and wish I could take it back, but I can't. Please give me a chance." He begs me making me want to slap him.
"No way in hell," I tell him before getting up and walking off.

"I can't believe you finally said yes," Klay says in disbelief as we away back and forth on the dance floor.
"I can't either," I laugh lightly thinking of how hard a time I gave him.
"All I can say is I'm glad you finally gave me a chance, Kennedy Thompson." Klay says making me smile and look up at him.
"I'm glad I did too." He pulls me in closer to him as we dance at our wedding with our family surrounding us.
"I love you, baby."
"I love you too," I say.
