Chapter 8

Luke

I jumped back into Calums sister's car, after getting clothes from my house.

My mom was dead asleep, and my step dad was, luckily, out.

"You got what you need?" Calum asked and I nodded. "Cool, Cool" Mali began driving.

I remained quiet as the two conversed about who knows what. I watched the trees outside the window slide away as we drove on and on.

I haven't really been in a car much, no one to really take me around.

I unbuckled myself as we parked in the driveway. Calum grabbed my bags for me and lead me into the house.

His house was so clean, so warm and cozy. It really felt like a Home. Something I wish I could come home to.

"My room is this way" he tilted his head up the stairs and I followed behind him, gripping onto my arm.

I was kind of nervous to be having this sleepover. He might take notice to some of the things I do that is weird.

For example, not eat.
But I suppose I can eat a little to ease his suspicion .. If he has any.

"I'm just gonna place your bags here, and you can sleep on the bed, I'll sleep on this little couch-"

"Calum, it's your bed. I'll sleep on the couch" I said quietly . He's too nice.

"But you're the guest" He left it at that and went downstairs to talk to his sister about dinner plans. I looked around his room admiring the many posters and family photos placed around.

In the corner of the room was a guitar and beside it a bass. And on the other side were cleats and 2 soccer balls.

He had many trophies from soccer, and some ribbons from talent shows back home.

Calum seemed like quite the kid. My dad would've marveled at all these trophies , he probably would've loved Calum as well. I mean I knew he would've wanted this kind of life for me.

I sat on the small couch in his room and waited patiently.

Finally he pushed open the door with Cheetos and two Mountain Dews. "Hey sorry bout that, and pizza good to you for dinner?" I nodded hesitantly but he smiled.
"Cool, now you ready for some tutoring , I thought the sooner we do this the better so then later we can play some video games or something"

My lips flipped to a grin and I grabbed my backpack and he grabbed his. We sat down on the floor and took out our books.

"what do you want to start on?"

"Well first this test in Math, got a 50" he laughed , "and I have no idea what I did wrong"

-

The slice of greasy, fattening, hefty calorie, diet killer, sat on my plate before me and I gulped.

Calum beside me had already started eating, absolutely devouring the pizza without a second thought.
A quality I missed in myself. But that was replaced with self hatred and paranoia.

But despite the fear, I lifted it up slowly and took a bite.

Food was my enemy. I hated it. I remember the days I'd just eat and eat. Turned into a chubby disgusting wreck.

I worked for what I am now, and maybe some people would be disgusted with my body, but me personally, I like it. It's boney, lanky, and small, it is exactly what I worked so hard for.

And to eat this piece of pizza will not only unleash the hunger I've been teaching myself to contain, but make me want to eat and eat until I can't anymore.

So one slice only, I tell myself, and take another bite.

Calum was busy watching the movie, he hadn't noticed my struggle.

But I had done it, I had ate the pizza . But only one problem,

I wanted more.
