"Hera kailan ka babalik sa ballet class mo? tinatanong na ako ni Teacher Melody mo hinahanap ka by next week bumalik ka na" dire-diretsong sabi ni Mommy habang nasa hapag kami.

"Pero Mommy busy po ako next week may research po kami" I said to her. I lied before pero ito totoo na, na busy na nga ako dahil next week ay ipapasa ang introduction namin.

"Next week, I already told Melody about it"

She decided again not me being informed magiging hectic pa ang schedules ko dahil next week na rin ang events. Kaya Diane and I are working hard para matapos kaagad ang introduction.

"Pero Mom-" hindi natuloy yung sasabihin ko nang mag salita pa s'ya.

"Wala ng pero pero ikaw na bahala dumiskarte sa oras mo bawasan kasi ang kaka cellphone" inis na sabi n'ya.

I saw Herine smirking mukhang masaya s'ya sa ginagawa ni Mommy sa akin.

I was about to add some foods in my plate because I'm still not full and I want to eat again but then my mom cut me off.

"Hera you're on a diet you know you have maintaining weight ang taba mo na rin avoid eating carbs and please... lose some weight" suway n'ya sa akin.

This is so frustrating I just wanted to eat ganito na ba talaga ako kataba? Wala na akong nagawa kay Mommy hindi na rin ako umimik pa dahil baka mag sermon pa s'ya sa hapag.

We just finished our food that's why I went to my room and look in the mirror. My cheeks looks puff, my belly looks bloated and my thigh looks thick.

"Am I that fat?" I asked my self.

Tama si Mommy I should lose some weight but how? should I go to gym? yoga? fasting? I don't know.

"Hera it's miracle bakit walang mash potato kang in-order?" Krizsia asked me.

"Uh, I'm not allowed to eat carbs" I answered her and she looks worried.

"Why?" she asked.

"I'll go back to ballerina class again and I need to get back to my old body"

"What do you mean?" Claud asked.

"I look so fat, 'di ba nag gy-gym kayo? Can I join?" I answered them I expected they'll answer me but to my surprise they look worried.

"You didn't even look fat, Hera" ani ni Selene while looking at me.

"I agree you didn't look fat. That's a normal body" sabi naman ni Claudette.

I don't get them my cheeks are puff I have a bloated tummy and my legs looks thick. I need a slim body.

"Hera you know what you're body is healthy and I think you can still go back to your ballerina class without losing weight"

Maybe they're right but what about Mom? She's a professional ballerina she knows well about ballet.

I just agreed to them I don't want them to be worried about me.

Kriz ordered me a mash potato tinanggap ko naman 'yon at kinain I even thanked her. It was a friday night that's why we're in a mall again ganito na ang gawi namin tuwing friday we'll just go shopping and have fun.

After namin kumain I decided to go to restroom. I ate a lot I need to release everything I ate I don't want to gain weight I vomit all of the foods that I ate.

We go to a facial treatment after eating nag paka relax lang dahil stress na rin sila Claud at Kriz sa college life nila.

Mahirap ba talaga sa college I don't even what course to take I'll just enjoy my senior high year,
but probably because of Dad and his family of doctors I can see my self studying in med school. If thats gonna be happened I don't know what kind of doctor I should be.
