SOPHIE'S POV
I walk into my room and see Drew laying on one of the beds.

"Still have my extra key?" I asked sitting next to him.

"Yup. Came in handy. Now tell me." He said.

"Okay fine. I started doing cheer in third grade. I was put as a flyer. I was happy because when you think of cheer, you think of the girls being thrown in the air." I explained.

"As time went on I started putting on weight. I lost my flyer position for a season. I was so upset. I actually felt special and that got taken away from me. I worked on it. I stayed day and night in the studio and at the gymnastics gym. Next season, I got my position back." I told him.

"I was a flyer from sixth grade to eighth. The summer before my freshman year, I had tryouts for the junior varsity team. I was nervous so I didn't eat for a week. I do that when I'm nervous." I said.

"Did you do it all when you were here?" He asked.

"Yes. When I had to be the uptown girl and when I had to be a featured dancer for New Wave." I said.

"Go on." He said.

"I made the JV team as a flyer. I was extremely happy but still felt I needed to cut weight. One of my friends who was on the wrestling time also needed to cut weight for his weight division. So we started skipping meals." I explained.

"Oh Soph." He said.

''I didn't eat until football and comp season was over so about six to seven months." I said.

"That's why you're so skinny now." He said.

I nodded my head in shame.

"I did the same thing sophomore year. Except it lasted longer since I was on the varisty that year. Despite me starving myself, that was a good year. We placed first and I got my varsity jacket. But I was still anorexic." I said.

"But you're better now?" He asked.

"It can be hard sometimes." I said.

"I'm literally going to send you reminders to eat." He said.

"But how'd you find out if I was anorexic?" I asked.

"Sharlize was dming me and said you were so I believed it." He said.

"Sharlize? How does she know? I literally only told one person." I said.

"Who'd you tell?" He asked.
