Chapter 2:
"Triya! Dinner's ready!" Mom called out.
"I've got homework Ma. I'll eat later."
It was a late monsoon evening. It had been pouring all day. The weather was gloomy all around. And I'd just made up another excuse for skipping dinner. I'd been doing this often lately. Trying to skip meals to avoid weight gain. And then exercising to lose some of the extra baggage I was carrying. It wasn't a healthy practice, but I was determined to fit into my old jeans, which was two sizes too small.
I heard my stomach rumble. I was hungry. So instead of heading down for dinner, I switched on my phone and checked Wattpad for updates. Ignoring my stomach's desperate urge for food, I started reading.
It was well past midnight when my phone ran out of battery and I decided to get my beauty sleep. Tomorrow will be a better day.

"Rise and shine!" croaked my alarm clock. God knows what had made me set that awful alarm tone. I'd been planning on changing it for a long time now, but always forgot to do so.
While trying to throw a pillow at it to shut it off, I rolled over and fell off my bed. "@&-#&@%", I shot daggers at the alarm clock. What a lovely morning.
I showered and put on a pair of knee-length blue jeans and a loose white tshirt. I tied my hair in a pony tail, put on some mascara and my favourite strawberry lip gloss, and after checking my reflection in the mirror, headed down for breakfast. We had a rule in the family of sitting together for meals. Lately I've been breaking the rule, but my parents didn't care as long as I kept scoring straight A's. And I was glad that they didn't question me on my excuses.

Heya!! Wassup?
Well I would like to make it clear that I DO NOT support Triya's habit of torturing herself like that. Its good to stay fit and keep your weight in check, but resorting to unhealthy means for the sake of it does no good. On the contrary it will cause severe problems in the long run. And why should you? I mean, look at you. You are beautiful the way you are. If somebody tells you otherwise, punch them straight in the face.
So guys, eat healthy..stay fit..keep reading..and voting..and commenting.!! ;-)
Love ya all :)
