After a nice trip to the principal’s office, (since I was such a “model” student they didn’t suspend me) I decided that instead of going back to school, I’d skip out on the rest of the day. May as well since today hasn’t been a good day. Even though it’s probably not a good thing that I missed my first science class of the semester, oh well I could catch up pretty fast, science was one of my good subjects even though I hated it.
I took the bus to the mall and went to McDonald’s, ordered quite a bit (Big mac, Chicken nuggets, medium fries, oreo mcflurry and a coke zero, though I knew the zero didn’t make much difference after all that I was eating) I went to sit at a table in the food court when I notice my worst nightmare, Cam and two of his friends we across the room. I guessed they’d skipped last block too. Thankfully the food court was pretty big so I decided as long as I sat as far away as possible from them, they wouldn’t notice me. This tactic worked until I only had half of my mcflurry and a couple fries left. I could see them heading my way, as fast as I could I took a few more bites of mcflurry and stuffed some fries in my mouth before hurrying to pack all the garbage in my to go bag. I was just about to throw it out when I felt someone behind me. Before I could do anything, they grabbed the bag from my hand. I turned.
I was greeted by the smiling face of Cam and the bored looks of his two idiot friends.
“Throwing out my garbage for me? Thanks, so nice of you” I smiled sarcastically.
“Oh well yes, let’s see what you had for lunch, this bag does seem pretty full.” He snarked back.
I panicked and tried to grab it away from him, but he tossed it to one of his friends who wasn’t looking so the contents spilled out on the floor when the bag hit the ground.
“oops” his friend smiled
Displayed on the floor was my big mac box, my chicken nugget box, the fries, my mcflurry and the medium sized cup.
“Well well, someone sure does have an appetite, I can’t even eat that much. Maybe If you ever offered to share you wouldn’t weigh so much. But wait, you do look like you’ve lost some weight, maybe you took my words to heart?” Cam spat out. It was like I was the most disgusting thing he could ever be talking too, but that just encouraged me.
“Fuck you motherfucker, and you know what, I can fucking eat what I want and no one can stop me or make me feel bad about it. Plus yes I have lost weight about 20 lbs but not for you or for anyone, only for me, because you don’t have to wake up and feel bad about yourself every morning, to wake up and not want to live because of your weight, but I did. So I’m losing the weight for me, not any lousy ass jerk who has nothing better to do than make fun of people he doesn’t know, and listen to crap music all day” Wow some speech! I was pretty proud of myself for sticking up for me. Haha! How you like me now cam! I waited for his response. His face was oddly calm, he took a step forward to be closer to me and said
“Tell yourself whatever you need to, to be able to fall asleep at night, but we all know the truth. You’re just a fat-ass loser who doesn’t have any friends, so you curl up in a corner in the library in all your free time, truly pathetic.”
That’s it, I thought as my right knuckles made contact with the bridge of cam’s nose. I picked up my trash from the floor and threw it in the garbage, I got one good look at everyone’s surprised faces and I walked away without looking back, laughing to myself. I pulled out my ipod. Music up, world out, forget everything.
