The Promise

Chapter 1 - Almost Summer

Chapter 1 - Almost Summer

My parents were pretty upset about how Nick treated me. When I went back to school the next day, everyone keep calling me cursed names, worse than what the sexy asswipes called me.

During lunch time, they dumped their food on me. And keep on telling me to go back to the zoo where I really belong and more... It hurts like hell to know that the students there don't respect me. Except for the teachers, they love me. I think. Since I got the school keep its rank to #1.

I wasn't the only obese person in the school, but they chose to pick on me since Nick told almost everyone what had happened the other day, then the stories spread fast like wildfire. Some even added false remarks.

I cried so hard at that day as I ran back to my house and asked my parents not continue studying in St. Catherine High and go to the States instead. Back there, Grandma Anna always bakes the most delicious cookies in the world. My American cousins never call me ugly names, even some of my friends back there.

Don't get me wrong, I love my own country I have been living here in my entire life. I just wanted to get out for a while.

I kept on bugging my dad about staying there, but he always said that 'Mom loves here in the Philipines' and/or 'Your mom and I have to discuss it first.' I wasn't planning on giving up on asking him the same annoying question everyday, but I decided I have to since it wasn't going anywhere.

I didn't come out of my room for a couple of days (only when I go to church and eat), due to my melancholic state, and it was getting worse because of my insecurity of me being ugly and fat!

Right now I'm on a date with a huge bowl of buttered popcorn, a can of coca cola and a box of hawaiian party sized pizza, while in the middle of "The Vow" where Peige was confused with Leo. And Leo tried his hardest to bring back Peige's memories.

I held back the sobs as the movie goes on... "Damn it Peige! He's right there! No... not him! He's ugly! Leo! Leo's your freaking sexy husband!"

I ate some more and muttered to myself, "If I was Peige, I would not be stupid for letting that smexy guy go."

I heard a knock from my door and saw my dad's head pop out. I paused the movie to look at him in confusion.

My dad was also... oversized. And I guess that's where I got my charm.

"Pumpkin? Got a moment?"

"Sure dad."

He came in with his jammies on, and sat on my bed, then took a slice of my pizza, "Do you mind?"

"Uhh yeah dad, it's my pizza."

"Well too bad." He finished eating the second slice, I know it was that fast, and then licked his fingers and smiled at me.

"Are you done eating pizza, which happens to be mine?"

He chuckled and squeezed my cheek. "No."

I swiftly took the pizza before he could lay his hands on them.

"Dad, what do you want?" I said in a bored tone. Not being rude, but I was seriously in the middle of an amazing movie! I may have saw it a couple of times but, it's CHANNING TATUM, my soon to be husband.

"That pizza." He answered.

"Ugh, no. The reason why you're in my room."

"Oh, yeah. Almost forgot." He paused and then looked at me grinning which is super scary.
