Just Enemies (Original Story)

Damn....

Lena and her family made the best out of a bad situation with the lie smoothing things over fast. Her mother bought ice cream which was expensive and with the exchange rate of the Canadian dollar to the kuna it was significantly cheaper. Lena's cousins had convinced her to ask her mom as they wanted to apologize and have ice cream with her and Kat. Lena thought it was a sweet notion.

The minute they all came back from the store her aunt put the ice cream in the fridge. Lena's mother didn't like that and asked her where the ice cream cups were to make herself and her daughters a Sunday. Her aunt said that she was saving the ice cream when Lena's mother said she had paid for that ice cream and she will do what she wants with what she paid for. Her aunt begrudgingly gave the ice cream back and her mom made Lena,Kat and herself a delicious Sunday. She encouraged the cousins to join and they did.

Later that night after that sweet but tense moment. Lena needed to go to the bathroom when she caught her aunts son in the fridge digging into something like an angry raccoon. He was eating all the ice cream that was left in the fridge. With the scoop spoon and when she tapped him on the shoulder her bounced and hit his head and ran off with the ice cream saying that he needed some before she ate it all. Somehow this became about Lena.

The next day they left and her mother asked where the ice cream was and the other items she bought and her aunt said they were in the fridge. Her mom opened the ice cream and asked her aunt who ate it. She joked that maybe one of her daughters. Lena's dad Viktor told his sister that this was enough. That she was being rude and that he was happy they were leaving.

At her uncle Lukas house it had a chill and slightly messy. His wife and him had divorced and her cousin Kristijan only visits on the weekends to see his father. But Luka was a cheery man who loved to just be around his nieces. Lena made him a sandwich and the mayonnaise was amazing. It's something called Zvjezda. Which means star. Later on in the weeks following her uncle drove them around Daruvar to see the extended family. Her grandma and grandpa stayed over and they had killed a pig to celebrate the families visit.

Her uncle set a table and the rest of her aunts and uncles on her moms and dads side showed up on the final day. Things flew by but everyday was a joy. She felt missed and loved by her cousins in Croatia and felt home and complete in a way. The last days were hard with having to say goodbye to her grandpas and grandma. Once back on the plane and heading to Canada again Lena felt sad and wishful thoughts filled her mind of staying with her grandma. Seeing her uncles and exploring the waterfalls she didn't get to see.

The rest of the summer Lena stuck to her work out regimen and lost the rest of the weight. When she checked the scale she now was a hundred and twenty pounds. She should be happy because she was also a size eight in jeans but she still felt the small pouch that looks like a cats top lip with it's curvature. She would run her hand along it and hated that it wasn't flat. Not knowing that pouch was normal. She also was happy that she didn't lose her bum or breasts but now they were more on display.

Lena met with Brandon who saw the complete change and now she was thin. She was always beautiful but now he saw other guys looking at her. Approaching her to ask her for her MySpace or Facebook. He didn't like their intentions because he knew they were after her. While shopping for back to school Brandon told Lena that grade eight will be crazy with her transformation.

Lena laughed and didn't really believe him. She said they'll probably just start a rumour that she's bulimic. Which made them both laugh but Brandon was nervous about how the guys would react to her now. Lena came home and her uniforms were ready and new for the school year. The butterfly's in her stomach never vanished. She knew that it will be different. That night she went to sleep with her heart racing and anxious.

The morning came and Kat told Lena she should eat breakfast but Lena said she felt too anxious. Kat told her to just focus on school and that it will be alright. They left together and once Lena got on the bus she got her first taste of what it would be like. A boy from her class. A blonde haired,blue eyed kid named Matt had turned his neck and said damn. He looked confused as to who that was. Even under the polo shirt and pants that were the ugly navy color. He could see the lines of her body. Lena felt like throwing up.

Arriving at school Lena saw different people glancing her way. Perplexed and then when they realized who it was they looked shocked and disgusted somehow. Lena tuned up her mp3 player and Brandon came to her side and she hugged him as they marched into school together. Side by side and she didn't let it show how the leers made her feel.

Dom liked what he saw more than last year. She was stunning and her body was beautiful with her breasts and ass toned. He liked how her face was still cute with the baby face not losing its charm. He wanted her but the problem was how was he going to get her because now he saw he wasn't the only one.
