I hate myself.
I hate my appearance, I hate how obnoxious I am, and I hate my body.
I'm what you'd call fat. I personally prefer chubby, because it doesn't sound as bad, but I'm fat. No getting out of it.
I have fat thighs and a lot of rolls, a slight double chin and chubby cheeks. I'm just fat. And I hate it.
I hate getting called names at school and people slapping my stomach, even though they know how sensitive it is. I'm done with everyone and everything. I hate it all.
I mean, my friend Peggy is the only thing I don't despise in this world.
She sees the beauty in me. She says I'm curvy and have an hourglass body shape. She thinks I'm perfect. And I'm really thankful for that.
But that doesn't mean it's true.

"Heyyyyy curves!!"
"I told you not to call me that.."
"Shut up, you like it."
I punched Peggy's shoulder lightly, making her giggle and walk by my side.
"Did you see the new kid?"
"New kid?"
"Yeah! Oh my god you haven't seen him?!"
"No..?"
"Oh my sweet lord Jesus have mercy on your soul. He is, like, super hot. If I wasn't a raging homosexual, I would totally date him."
I snorted, rolling my eyes.
"Whatever Pegs, he's probably just like everyone else."
"There's no way. I bet he's super sweet!"
"I bet he's not."
"Five bucks?"
"Deal."
She grinned and we walked to the café, per usual. A young woman walked up to us and smiled softly.
"Hi, my name is Maria, I'll be your waitress today. What can I get you two?"
"I-"
"I'll take you any day~ I-I MEAN-"
Before Peggy could finish her save, I burst out laughing. Both of the girls' faces were red, and they were looking away from each other. I cooled down and wiped a tear, smirking at Peggy.
"Smooth."
"SHUT IT ALEX!!"
"Uhm..."
"Oh, yeah, uh.. I'll h-have a caramel macchiato.."
"I'm alright with nothing."
Peggy sighed.
"He'll have a chocolate milkshake."
"P-Pegs-"
"Alright, I'll be back with your order in a moment!"
She walked away, Peggy low key staring at her ass. I looked down and crossed my arms, tears building in my eyes. I sniffled, catching Peggy's attention.
"Lex-"
"Why'd you do that?! I don't want anything..."
"Because you need to ingest something. You haven't eaten at all for a few days Alex.."
Shit. She noticed.
I looked up at her, tears falling down my face. She gasped and immediately got up from her seat, pulling me into her arms.
