Leah gave me a house tour and not gonna lie, her house is so nice. She showed me to the room I'm staying in then went to make some dinner for us. I decide to check my phone and I get so many notifications from instagram and TikTok. I check the messages and it's just even more hate. Like mate, what did I even do? I just moved clubs and I'm getting hated on by the Arsenal fans? That's messed up shut right there.
I end up getting tagged in Laylas story so I click on it and read it. It had a picture of me signing the contract with the text saying. "This fat ass hoe finally left. She's giving us more space in the hallways, considering her stomach fat took up all the space." What the fuck did I do to her? I didn't do shit bro. I start to cry a little but then Leah apparently called me down for dinner when I didn't hear her. She walk up the stairs and walks into the room I'm staying in. She sees me crying. I think within the whole time I've met her 90% of it was me crying. "What's up cutie? Are you okay?"
I sniffle, "yeah I'm fine. Just overwhelmed with the new environment you know."
"It's fine cutie. I know you just moved but you'll be fine with us. We'll look after you the entire time." She says that while hugging me. I dig my head into her neck as she carry's me down to the table."Sorry Leah, but I'm not hungry rn. I have too many emotions going on. If I eat I think I'll be sick!"
"It's alright cutie. I'll wrap it up so you can eat later. How about we watch a movie?"
"Yeah that sound good. Thanks Leah."
"No problem hun. I'll get the snacks ready and you get comfy on the couch."
"Thank you Leah. I love you!" I state while hugging her tight.
"Love you too dove." (Idk dove is the new nickname from Leah. And cutie.)I go to her couch and get a blanket for us to share. "Can you put the movie on please?! Pick any movie!"
I choose the movie and wait for Leah to come and sit with me.
—————It's my first day at training and honestly I'm horrified. Like what if I Preform bad?
We arrive at training and we have to do weigh ins. Honestly I hate them because my entire life depends on the number. Like what if people see it and think I'm really fat?
I go the back of the line but then Alessia goes behind me as she arrived late. The line moves up and it's my turn. I step on it and it shows the number. Leah was standing right next to it as she was waiting for me. When Leah saw the number she was shocked. So was Alessia as she was next in line and saw it. Was it that bad? I mean I'm only 16, 1.65 cm tall and 35 kg. I don't think it's that bad. Maybe I could drop a little bit of weight but that's about it.
Me, Leah and Alessia walk back to the changing rooms together. "Soph... are you okay?" Alessia ask randomly.
"Uhh yeah. Why wouldn't I be?" I say in response.
"Well your very underweight for you age and height. Being 35kg at your height is not normal." Alessia states.
"Oh um... it's normal in Australia..." I say trying to end the conversation.
"If you say that then let's ask Steph and Cait. Come on let's go!" Leah says while dragging us to them.
"Oh hi Leah and Alessia! Oh and hi Soph." Steph says.
"Steph are you mad at me? I swear I didn't do anything to Layla!"
"No hun we're not mad at you. We say her apology and we all decided to block her. So she doesn't make up anymore lies!"
"Oh okay."
"Anyways Le and Less. What brings you here?"
"We have a question for the both of you."
"Ask away Le!" Caitlin says.
"Our little cutie here says it's normal to be 16, 165cm and weigh 35kg in Australia. Is that true?" Leah says.
"Absolutely not! That is extremely underweight for anyone Sophs age!" Steph ends up saying right away.
"Is that how much our cutie weighs? Cause I don't think that's normal!" Caitlin say's, agreeing with everyone.
"Umm maybe..."
"Girl... why would you think that's okay?" Steph says in a stern but soft voice.
