Diary of a Fat Girl

Dear diary

I really didn't plan on spending the day working on a project but that's what I had to do to pass History. The project is to make a poster about World War 2, so I had to seek information at the library since I used up my data for the month looking up diet plans.

So there I was walking down the last aisle at the back of the library when I saw them. At first I thought that they would be here to get me but then something unexpected happened.

Caleb James kissed Jack Carmichael..... on the lips, in a very romantic way might I add.

To say I was beyond shock would be an understatement. My breath was literally knocked out of me. If someone had told me yesterday that Caleb, my school's notorious player and bad boy, is gay, along with his best friend, I would send that person to a mental hospital. Talk about a plot twist.

I was also kind of shocked that they were in a library. Weren't the cool kids supposed to despise anything school related?

So there I was, frozen in shock, watching these two lock lips. I wanted to move but I couldn't. And being the total loser I was, I let the book in my hand fall to the floor. The sound echoed loudly in the silence. Immediately, Caleb and Jack broke away from each other and looked my way. When they realised it was me their eyes widen in shock and.....fear? But it was gone as quickly as it came and was replaced by a terrifyingly angry expression.

And that's when I decided to turn and run but, being me, I didn't make it far before I was hauled over someone's shoulder. I didn't bother to shout because it would only make things worse, so I kept quiet as we walked out of the back exit of the building.

Once the door was closed, I was put down and my back was slammed into the wall as a large hand circled around my neck, Caleb's hand. My vision blurred for a moment but soon cleared. I opened my eyes to see dark green eyes. They held so much hatred and anger yet, if you looked closely enough, you would see the slight fear of what I could do with such information, not that anyone would believe me.

Behind Caleb, Jack stood with his hands in his pockets and his gaze locked with the ground, so I couldn't actually tell what he was thinking.

Caleb's fingers tightened around my neck and my breath caught in my throat. I thought for sure that he was going to kill me but instead he whispered, "Tell anyone about what you saw and you will pay." My whole body was shaking with dread at the threat. No doubt if I told someone, he would make my life a living hell, as if my current one wasn't bad enough.

When he was sure that his threat was effective, he let me go and the two of them disappeared around the corner of the building.

As soon as I couldn't see them I let out a deep breath and slid to the ground. Even though I didn't want to, I broke down and started to cry. I let it all out and when I finally stopped shaking and sobbing, I got up and went back to working on my project.
