"Is 'fat' really the worst thing a human being can be? Is 'fat' worse than 'vindictive', 'jealous', 'shallow', 'vain', 'boring' or 'cruel'? Not to me." -J.K. Rowling.
As the birds tweeted and The sun rays shone through my curtains, I smiled and slowly opened my eyes. Finally, only a few hours before the bliss of the summer holidays takes over. Hopefully, seeing as its the last day of school, everyone will be nice to me, or even just ignore me completely ? Like that's gonna happen. It was like their lifes goal was to make my life a living hell. I guess you're a bit confused ? Well, let me tell you a little about myself. My names Ariana Buxton, I'm 17 and I am clinically obese. Because of this, i'm bullied physically and mentally by nearly everyone at my school and the people that don't bully me, stand there and laugh. It's horrible and because of this i've began to hate myself.
I walked to my bathroom and did the essentials before throwing on some loose jeans and a t-shirt. I looked at myself carefully in the mirror, examining my features. My skin had spots dotted all over from the amount of junk I ate, my naturally caramel skin was pasty and my black long hair looked greasy and slick. In a way, I can see why people picked on me, I'm ugly. My only remotely pretty feature were my violet-blue eyes that were framed with dark and thick eyelashes. But that clearly isnt enough for people to just leave me alone.
I went down my stairs with my bag clutched to my side, eager for breakfast. I could already smell the pancakes from here. My mom always made the best food, I guess that's why I developed this habit of over eating. I walked into my kitchen and plopped myself on the dining table chair, waiting impatiently for my mom to bring my food to me.
“Hi honey, here's your pancakes. Eat up quick and get your butt to school, you don't want to be late on your last day !” she said with a warm laugh. I smiled and nodded compliantly. I Love my mom. Except for my dad, she didnt see me as fat, she didnt see me as ugly,she saw me as beautiful- even though i'm far from it. she just saw me as me.Not fat and ugly Ariana, just Ariana.
After I finished eating, I plugged my headphones into my iPod and drowned out the world as I walked to the bus stop and took the bus to school. As I was on the bus, I saw my crush Jason copperfield get on the bus. Butterflies erupted from my stomach as I sat in awe as his beauty but quickly turned my head as I saw him look at me. I blushed and pretended to stare out the window like there was actually something interesting outside there. A deep voice suddenly startled me.
“Hey.” I looked to my left to see Jason sitting next to me. To me !! out of all the spaces on the bus, he chose to sit next to me ! My heart soared and pounded and my stomach was filled with butterflies.
“H-hi.” I managed to get out. He smiled at me and leaned slightly closer.
“ A little birdie told me you liked me.” he said with a little smirk on his face. My eyes widened and I opened my mouth to protest it completely when he spoke again. “ I like you too.”
My mouth open wide. Jason copperfield liked me ?! I felt happy like I never had before.
“ Y-you do ?” I asked quietly.
“Hell yeah, you're beautiful babe.” he said with a smile. I beamed. No one had called me beautiful before, except for my parents. “ Look, I was wondering if we could meet up after school ? You know, seeing as its the last day of school it should go out with a bang, right ?”
Oh my god, he's going to kiss me ! My crush for nearly two years is going to kiss me ! I eagerly nodded in agreement and he smirked in content.
“ Good, see you later Ariana.”
