Into the Flames [Watty Awards 2012]

Chapter 19

“Don’t eat that Waterlily, it’s too fattening for you.” I sighed and glared at the food. Why can’t she just leave me alone? I dropped the spoon back into the serving dish and continued. “Here Waterlily, let’s trade plates, I got you some good food.” I turned around to find her standing with a plate with a single piece of bread and fruit.

“I think I will be fine with what I have Ethelreda. I know how to watch my weight.”

“So be it Waterlily, but don’t expect to make it too far with your weight.”

I looked down at myself, expecting to see that it had grown really fat or something, but still you could probably see every bone in my body. I knew despite what Ethelreda said, I needed food. I picked the spoon back up and served myself the food it held. The food was a tan color with white on the inside. They said it was made of potatoes.

I turned and walked over to the career table. “Morning Waterlily!” River’s face brightened when he saw me. I smiled back. River was so sweet. I could tell he liked me, so I played along. I didn’t want to disappoint him if he found out I didn’t really like him like that.

A/N: I am pretty sure a rather large portion of this chapter is gone. I think my dog deeted it, he likes to delete things off my computer. An investigation is in progress and I will get the rest of the chapter to you as soon as possible.
