Water and Cigarettes

Chapter 1 : Water ( part 2 )

Anna walks outside looking at her phone and scrolling trough the endless images of skinny girls. She feels the eyes of people laying upon her thighs and stomach. Going to school is a challenge, being judged by every person that looks at her and knowing people are talking about how "fat" she is. "Walking up the stairs does burn more calories", she thinks to herself "i sure need it".

She finally reached the top and breathed heavily, sweat comes off her head dripping on her 'way to tiny' shirt. Opening her bag, she sees that her mom packed her a huge lunch. 2 sandwiches, 1 coca cola, 1 apple, 3 chocolate bars, 1 energy drink, 4 donuts and some apple juice. Thats the usual. Anna was allready craving lunch, even tho she just ate.

Walking into the classroom Anna sees her skinny friends talking and laughing with eachother. She walks up to them and hope that they dont notice she is out of breath from that short walk.
The skinny friends look at her and scream, "hey youre finally here! We waited for you" and "did you lose weight".

'Well no i did not lose weight, i gained. Pathetic. They are just mocking me like my family allways does' Anna thinks. "Oh hi, how are you guys" Anna replies with a big smile, hiding her true feelings about them and herself.

The bell rings after 4 hours of class, Anna puts her hair up in a ponytail, ready to eat lunch. She sits down next to her skinny friends and puts her lunch on the table. She looks at all the food and eats it within no time. "Aww didnt you got me a donut" one of her friends asked. Anna looked at her friend and felt guilty because she didnt even offered them something to eat.' They clearly have nothing'.

After school, Anna goes home and helps her dad cook. At the dinner table, anna is scraping her food around but eats it anyway. "I need to do something about my weight" Anna says out loud. Her dad responsed harsh "if you keep eating like this you will probably die in a heartbeat. You should workout more". Dad looks fat too, but he thinks he still looks like he just came out of a navy bootcamp. Anna's mom agreed with dad. "You should lose a few pounds sweetheart" she said.

Anna almost cried. She knew her parents where like this, she knew they would say something like this. It felt like a personal meanspo that goes straight trough your heart.
After dinner, Anna decides to call her friends and tell them she needed to talk to them tomorrow.
