Saved from a broken home

REJECTED

The mail actually didn't run Tuesday. When I woke up Wednesday I felt my stomach do flips.

I ran down the stairs, leaving 4 confused people behind me. I ran to the end of the driveway and opened the mailbox.

Magazine, a few bills and a little envelop. With my name on it.

I walked up to the door with the mail and gave it to Luke keeping my part. No one saw it though.

I ran up the stairs and into my bedroom. My heart was pounding and I was so scared. I sat on my bed and then someone knocked on the door.

"Hey are you ok?" Michael yelled curious.

"Yeah getting ready." He said ok then went back down stairs.

I ripped the white paper open to find the words that said

Bailey, we are sorry that you didn't make the team, but if you could just make these improvements then we have a spot for you!!
- hair
- decent shorts
- strait summersaults
- enabled kick line
- weight
From your captain
                  - Mia

As I read my stomach dropped. Yeah I could fix these things, but what really showed out was weight. Am I really that fat? Sure I could loose a few pounds. A diet never hurt anyone...

At lunch I sat alone outside. It wasn't really that I couldn't hang out with Tina and I had no friends. It was more of a I need to think about things and clear my head.

For lunch I just had a salad. For breakfast I had an apple and water.

It's the first day of the little diet thing and I feel ok. I'll give it a week.

Once the bell rang I grabbed my backpack and threw my stuff in the trash; on my way to 5th period.

When I was on my way to my last period class I was literally trampled by a mob of high schoolers.

I guess I'm little miss invisible or something. It's only my third fraking day of school, it could be worse.. right?

Whatever.

As I walk closer to my house I notice that all of the boys are sitting on the porch. I jog a bit and reach the driveway.

"We saw your mail..." Ashton said. And i stiffened, they noticed and told me to go in the family room.

I took a seat and waited for someone to speak.

"We just want you to know that whatever anybody says you are beautiful the way you are, and you don't have to change for someone you probably don't even give a shit about. Or shouldn't for that matter. Do you understand.?" Luke spoke. I was dumbfounded. What could I say.

"Um.. yes thanks... I have homework so I should get started. Um.. I feel awkward so I'm going to my room like now." I said and earned a few chuckles.

He is right but I do need to work on flexibility.

"How come you haven't been around grandma Liz yet? You know you can eat lunch with her. Right?" Michael asks

"Yeah I've been eating outside and with my friends I will tomorrow though." That being Monday and Tuesday I ate with some 'friends'  and Wednesday I ate alone.

We were at dinner and on the menu was cheese pizza and garlic toast. My favourite meal.

After visiting and playing Xbox I took a shower and went to bed. I'm so tired. Literally it's not even funny. I have huge bags under my eyes and my head is filled with thoughts I need to release in my dreams. Also a small headache.  

Thursday her we come..

She said sarcastically.
