The Mistletoe That Saves Us All

Chapter 12

The next day... 

Text messages are sent to the whole school, teens laugh, teens talk about it, teens make fun of it, and Abby is about to show the world that dreams come true, but those dreams are nightmares. She walks to school and is 10 minutes late. She walks in and looks around. Everyone is laughing. She ignores them and walks over to her locker. On her locker, someone wrote It's Always The One's You Never Expect. She screams inside her head. Why did Max do this? Just because Abby didn't kiss him? And what secret did he spill? One of them? The most embarrassing one? The craziest one? All of them? Hopefully not. Some kid walks over. "Hey, Abby! How was that $3,026 dollar fat surgery? You were so desperate to get skinny that you paid for a surgery?!" What was he talking about? I never got a surgery. Before I can say something, Max yells at him. Max walks over. "I told them a fake secret because I would never spill... right now. But don't think I won't. I would accept this secret or things might get more...real..." Creepy much. I don't like knowing that everyone thinks I got some surgery to remove fat. I work out at the Local gym 5 times a month! Ever since I started eating healthy, I decided I would choose one. Unhealthy meals only twice on a weekday and once on the weekends. I've been following that since I was 12 and I'm 17. Exactly. I could probably take a break for a while, but I've eaten salad so much, I'm starting to love that more than ever. Then, I see Stacy. She walks over to her locker right next to mine. "Surgery huh? You couldn't have told me? All those lies about the gym and eating healthy? Nice one Abby. Nice job!" I can't handle this. I drop my stuff and start crying. I sit against my locker with my head lying on my locker. I know Stacy can't handle people crying without feeling bad. That's not why I'm doing this though, I'm crying because there's just so much a person can take before they gotta let it out. In the corner of my glasses, I see Max frustrated because he made me cry. He stands on a chair. "Everybody, listen up!".............
