The Boy She Fell For

Cassidy

Mom and dad are at it again, the have been doing this for the past week now. They say it's normal to be fighting, but this doesn't sound like normal.

I hear a knock on my door "come in" it was my younger brother Chris.

"When is this going to stop?" He asked me with sad eyes.

"I don't know."

"What has happened  in the past week for them to fight? " He plopped down on my bed.

"Well, dads work is cutting back, that's all I know of." That was a lie, I knew exactly why they where fighting.

"When does school start again?" My brother asked.

"September twelfth"

"So you a week left before school starts. Are you nervous?"

"A little bit, most people will be surprised  that my appearance has changed"

"Well, isn't Bethany still you friend?" My brother asked

"Yeah she's still my friend, and she's coming over tomorrow to go shopping with me"

The yelling stopped.

"I guess their okay now"

"Well, it won't last for long."

We ate dinner in silence until dad finally broke it.

"So, Cassidy your big 18 is coming up soon what do you want?" My father asked. Actually it wasn't coming up soon, my birthday was still six months away

"Nothing really, maybe some money for me to go shopping with, or a new car would be nice." I said filling my mouth full of mash potatoes.

"What kinda car would you like?"

"A Lexas coupe, I heard they were real nice."

"Ok will do."

Then silence fell again.

"Are you and Bethany going shopping tomorrow?" My mother asked.

"Yeah, were going to the Alpharetta mall to shop for some school clothes."

"That's good. I've always liked Bethany."

"I'm full, I'm going to head upstairs now." I told my family and quickly headed up to my room.

I  made my way into the bathroom to wash my face. I took one look in the mirror "oh my god,what have I done to myself." I say while washing my face

My three years of high school was complete torture, I was bullied because I was twenty pounds over weight. I was called 'fat', 'porker', and many other things. Bethany showed me something this past summer that made me lose the weight. After every meal I would go upstairs and make myself throw up. God I hated to do that but for me it was the only choice, I lost about twenty five pounds. I stopped doing that about three weeks ago because my parents starting noticing that I was becoming to slim and that is why they had been fighting.

When I got back into my room and looked at my phone and saw a text from Bethany.

Bethany
~Are you ready to shop till you drop tomorrow. I'll pick you up at nine o'clock.~

Me
-totally, why wouldn't I be. Ok nine it is.

Then I decided to take my shower. Afterwards I got into my pj, which mostly consisted of shorts and a old t-shirt.brushed my teeth and plopped into bed.
