i nervously step on the scale.

i close my eyes.

i hear gaten gasp a little.

"dang y/n..."

i look down.

the scale reads 82 pounds.

i smile proudly.

i step off the scale and i look at gaten and flex my arms.

"see gaten? i got muscle"

but instead of pronouncing the word 'muscle' correctly, i said 'muskel'.

gaten just laughed and shook his head.

"you said 100 you dingus. you weigh 18 pounds under that!"

i put my hand to my chest and act dramatic.

"oh no. the pain. i'm so sorry gaten."

i get down on my hands and knees and go into an bowing position.

"will you ever forgive me?"

i look up at gaten and i see gaten with his hand on his chin, acting like he was pondering on what i asked.

"hmm.. i guess."

while sitting upwards, i become really extra and act like i'm crying happy tears.

"thank you, oh dear Lord Gaten, the high and mighty!"

gaten laughs and pulls me onto my feet.

he then looks at me seriously.

"seriously though," gaten says.

"you don't weigh a lot for a swimmer and a 14 year old with your height!"

i act like his words hurt me, even though they really didn't.

"well, excuseeeee you! i'm actually not very tall THANK YOU VERY MUCH."

"you're y/h! you should weigh more!" gaten responds.

(y/h means 'your height')

i cross my arms and huff.

"it's the heaviest i've been in my whole life." i mumble.

i thought i mumbled quietly enough so no one i heard it, but i guess either i am a horrible mumbler, or gaten has super hearing.

gaten's mouth drops.

"wait, what? seriously?"

i try to play dumb by saying,

"seriously what?"

i tilt my head and i make my facial expressions go into a confused look.

gaten rolls his eyes at my behavior.

"y/n, i know you're acting. i heard what you said. you said it was the heaviest you've been in your whole life, how is that possible?"

my eyebrows furrow and i suddenly feel self-conscious.

out of habit, i wrap my arms around my torso.

"that's none of your business gaten."

gaten's frown softens and he moves my
arms from my torso and he hugs me.

i hug back.

i don't know why i huge back.

i should be mad at him for asking so many questions.

i shouldn't feel so vulnerable.

i bury my face in the crook of his neck, since he is a couple inches taller than me.

"i'm so sorry y/n."

if it wasn't quiet, i wouldn't have heard gaten said that.

he barely said it as a whisper.

"sorry for what?" i say equally as quiet.

"i'm sorry you don't feel like you can trust anyone."

gaten knows.

how does one read my feelings so well?

my parents can't do that.

nor can the rest of my family.

what makes my new best friends so different from them?
