"Yeah sh...
I sat in the corner overthinking everything. My mother could die. What will come of me ?
I closed my eyes as I felt myself having a panic attack. I walked up to my bathroom. I took a shower.
I wore black cargo pants with a white oversized shirt. My dad's. It's a way of keeping him close. I wore my Nike Jordan and a cap.

I took my bag and wore my headphones. It's those ones with small eyes that glow in the light.
I walked downstairs and opened the door. I just didn't feel like eating. Of course why would you eat your fat.
The voices in my head won't stop . I sighed and kept walking to school. As I walked in people kept looking at me.
They are probably asking themselves why an ugly duckling like you is still alive. The voice said.
I sighed and went to my locker. I placed my bag in my locker. I took out my binder and walked to class.
"Alessia are you okay you didn't come yesterday" My friend Tibi. "Yeah I just have a little cold I should be fine " I mumbled. "You do look red everyone is worried about you. " She said.
I nodded my head not knowing what to do. The day went on smoothly and I was in the library. It was lunch time. My body temperature was extremely high.
I knew that I was sick but didn't pay heed to it. I walked out to the clinic. Then the bell rang. I stood there thinking if I should go to class or the clinic.
After a minute or so I walked to the clinic. "Oh sweetie how my I help?" The nurse said. "Nothing much I just have a slight fever and headache " I mumbled.
"Okay sit I'll just be back okay?" She said I nodded. I wonder how they're doing now. The nurse came back with a thermometer.
After a while she took it out and gasped. "Sweetheart your burning up its 40⁰c. " She said in a worried tone. "Oh I was planning on going to the hospital today. I'll go after school " I mumbled.
She tried giving me pills but I didn't take. I placed an ice pack on my head. I closed my eyes.
I woke up to the bell ringing. I checked the time. Oh it's after school. I took my bag and wore my cap. I walked out of school only to stopped by a group of kids
My anxiety kicking in. "OMG it's Alessia. Your so pretty" one of the girls said. "Thanks" I replied. "I like her freckles" the girl said.
That's my number one insecurity. "Um I should get going I'll see you... Tommorow?" I said. They all nodded.
I walked to the hospital and walked in. I walked to the elevator. Luckily I was alone. I don't do well with people I know let alone those who I don't.
When it stopped I quickly got out. I saw mom's best friend and his husband speaking with mom. I ran to mom. "Mom" I said while hugging her.
"OMG Alessia your burning up" she yelled her heart rate going up. Cameron Diaz my mother's male best friend pulled me out. He walked me to the room ready with a nurse.
"Alessia dear you can't starve yourself and you have to take car of your mom did you eat?" He asked In a fatherly tone.
I shook my head he just hugged me. "Come Brianna and your nonno are an hour away mhh" he said and I nodded.
He helped me on the bed and held my hand he knows how scared I am of needle. Cameron is a father figure.
