Kelsey POV:
I can't say I know when it started. But then again, can anyone? It doesn't happen in one day. It happens over time.
No use trying to figure out when it started, because it's here now and it's not going away. It's like a bottomless pit that you keep falling deeper in. You can't escape. All you can do is fall.
I've been starving myself for, hmm . . . two months maybe? I don't know. I do know that it's working. I'm getting thinner. And once I lose ten more pounds, I'll stop. I think. Maybe I'll stop.
My friends don't know about IT. How can I tell them? They already have enough to worry about. No one needs to know about my problem just yet. It's easy enough to hide, as well, so if I'm careful, they might never find out.
However, that might change because of a certain field trip. A week long one. One week where the teachers are monitoring your every move. And they feed you.
Just faking an illness seems better than this. . .
Emily POV:
OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH! Tomorrow's the day we get to leave on our one week field trip! It's going to be so much fun! We'll see so many cool things, have tons of pillow fights, tell each other secrets- I'm so exited! Hopefully I won't get bad luck this time. . .
We're all going to have so much fun! Candy and Lily and Kelsey and Chloe and April and I. Oh man, I can't wait! I should probably get to sleep now, because the sooner I do, the sooner I wake up and get to go on the field trip!
Now that I think about it, all of the girls but Kelsey seemed just as exited as I am.
I wonder why. . .
Flashback
"Isn't this going to be the best week ever!" I said to everyone. "The train's going to be so cool!" I could see it already, a huge car for the six of us, with gigantic windows everywhere!
"Not to mention the food!" April added. "Can you imagine all the restaurants we're going to get to go to?"
Kelsey looked away, as if she was uncomfortable with the topic.
"Now, remember, the school will be providing most of our meal. Restaurants are just going to be a treat if we did our work." Chloe reminded everyone. April sighed.
"What about all the cool places we're going to see?" Lily asked. Candy jumped up and down.
"Are we going to see any more castles?" She wanted to know.
"Of course!" I said without missing a beat. I wanted to see castles as well. Kelsey smiled.
"Just try not to fall into any ponds this time Emily." She laughed. I pouted. At this the others laughed as well. Yet, I couldn't shake the feeling something was off about Kelsey.
End Flashback
Oh well, I guess I'll find out tomorrow.
I mean it's not like it's something life changing, right?
Whatever it is I'm sure Kelsey can figure it out.
Anyway~ ! I have to figure out how to hide Candy before I fall. . . asleep . . .
...
GAH!
I really don't like alarm clocks. They always freak me out.
Oh! That's right! Today's the day! Time for a one week field trip!
