⚠️Mention of starving/body image issues⚠️

>Weeks later<

I'm finally getting in the swing of school and all the work. But Peter also noticed this, so he started giving me his work to do. I know TK is mad, but it's not that big of a deal.. I found out at the end of that week that Arthur transferred to a different school. I'm pretty sure I heard it was because his parents were embarrassed by his actions..

I still see Mr. Williams a couple of times. I need someone like him in my life. I wish he'd replace Chris.. He's so much nicer, and his hugs aren't forced. I also started talking to Sarah. She's super nice and makes me feel welcomed in anything she does. I even invited her to TK and I's lunch table. She's actually really nice and fun to talk to. Usually, I'm scared of the girly looking girls who wear makeup and dress up every day cause I think they're mean, but she's the opposite. And TK likes her too! He obviously still wants us to sit alone together every now and then. I think he's happy I made another friend. And it's a girl! She likes to put makeup on me. It's never really my taste in makeup, but it still looks good.

I've been avoiding my parents for weeks now. Occasionally, I'll see them in the kitchen when I get home from school, depending on when they get off from work. But I always try to be as nice as possible to them. Sometimes, me and Chris argue, and he'll pull my hair, but nothing as bad as before..

>2 weeks later<

Me and Sarah are getting closer. We even hung out at the mall last weekend! And we went to a Boba Cafe and this small business owned restaurant. It was very cozy inside. At first, I felt bad, cause it was a lot of money, but she told me that her mom makes bank. Which made me feel a little better, but I still felt bad. I didn't really eat a whole lot. I mostly took it for to go. Sarah understood and didn't mind. She's so sweet and fun to hang out with.

She invited me and TK to the movies this weekend and even offered to pay for our tickets. She just told us that we'd have to smuggle in our own snacks cause the food there is overpriced. I really can't wait! When I'm with her, I feel like an actual teenager. Going out on the weekends and having fun with friends. I'm pretty sure she said we're going at night, too!

Mr. Will called me into his office a couple of days ago. No surprise until he told me what he wanted to talk about. My parents.. He said that they never answer emails or respond to the phone calls. I didn't know what else to say, so I told him the most basic answer: 'They're usually busy and don't have time to look at that stuff..' He looked a little skeptical but just brushed it off. I told him that I could be the one who told them. Obviously, I don't, but he'll get suspicious if my parents continue to ignore the emails. They're not really important emails, but some of them are about how great I'm doing in my classes, so he expects one of my parents to respond..

I've caught up with all Peter's work. They're not really hard, just time-consuming.. I'm just glad he never gives me his math homework. Surprisingly, he actually does it himself, and he does pretty well on the tests, too. I find it kind of funny, but a little cute, that him of all people is good math.

>The weekend<

I'm so excited! I'm going out with Sarah and TK. We're going to see a horror movie. Me, and TK really love anything horror. I packed a lot of smacks, mostly candy. I didn't really pack it for me, but to share with Sarah and TK.

Sarah picks me up around 6:50, and I give her directions to TK's house. We finally get to the theater, and we pick our seats, and surprisingly, only a couple of people showed up, so we basically have it to ourselves. I brought candy, like Skittles, m&ms, sour patch kids, mini Hersheys, and gummy worms. TK brought junk food like chips, cheez-its, and cookies to share with us. Sarah brought fruit snacks, granola bars, and juice boxes. I sat in the middle, TK sat on the left of me, and Sarah sat on the right of me. We mix up our snacks, making sure everyone has at least one of everything. The movie starts, and TK immediately starts eating his chips while Sarah is eating some of the candy I brought. But I don't touch any of it. I keep it on the right side of my lap as I watch the movie. I don't like eating in public places and I don't like eating in general. I'm trying to lose weight..
