"Sleepover!" Jackie shrieks excitedly, throwing popcorn in the air.
I frown when popcorn falls and tangles in my hair. I pull them out, regretting my decision to come here.
"Jackie please stop eating all this junk," I sigh, falling back on her bed. She is going to feel so sick tomorrow, I can already hear her complaining about her stomach ache. And I don't have anyone who can take her place at the game.
"No!" she protests, shoving chocolate in her face. I look away in disgust. She's eating like I've been starving her to death. In a way, I guess I have.
At parties I limit her consumption of alcohol, the amount of sweets that go into her body, and the kind of foods she eats. To be fair though, I do that with all my cheerleaders.
"You are going to feel sick tomorrow, Jackie. Please, for the love of god, stop eating!" I plea, hoping she'll push aside her unhealthy snacks. She doesn't answer, only continues to munch. Her eyes are glued to the screen of her tv, completely engrossed in Mean Girls.
"Oh my god Karen! You can't just ask people why they're white!"
Munch, munch.
"Mmm- Samantha, you want some?" she asks with her mouth full. She turns around at the foot of the bed and offers me some popcorn. I shake my head, no thank you. I don't want to consume empty calories, I prefer something more filling so I can be ready for tomorrow's game.
Which reminds me...
I reach for my phone beside me and open a new message thread. I add the eleven girls on my squad and quickly type in "no consuming empty calories, girls. I don't want anyone feeling lethargic tomorrow." I eye Jackie pointedly and press send.
Our phones instantly ring with new messages.
