I stared at the blue sky, and the clouds looked liked marshmallows. My stomach growled and I got up off of my feet.
" Gartha, sit down right now!" My mama yelled.
" I haven't eaten in 2 hours, please mama!" I replied.
" You need to lose weight Garthalamuel!" My mom rolled her eyes as she spoke to me.
I sat back down and cried as I looked at the clouds.
I walked up to our porch. The trailer was old, from the 60s. Mama was asleep. She always sleeps. It's my time. I went to the kitchen but remembered not to turn the light on because Mama's bed was in the living room. I went to the fridge and pulled out a steak and cheese sub from Arby's, it was a couple weeks old, but I didn't mind. I also went to the cupboard and got some Oreo's.
I poured a glass of chocolate milk leftover from my Micky D's Happy Meal and put it in the microwave. Don't judge me, I like warm milk. It makes me feel like a pioneer.
I ran so fast past my sleeping mother and ran into my room. I sat on my mattress, with no sheets, and began my feast. After I finished everything I laid back against my wall and went on my tablet. There was no wifi, so I just played a game I downloaded at my Aunt Psuesan's house. I also went on pinterest and found some cool photos. I heard a little thump, that must be Mama!!!!!!
"Garthalamuel where are you????"
Mama barged in my room and saw all the wrappers.
"Come with me."
Mama took me into the bathroom and made me step on the scale.
The scale said "250"
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????!!!!!!!"
"You're going to workout everyday after school, and you're only gonna eat 52 calories a day!!" My Mama screamed as she hit me with a spatula.
I woke up to my stomach growling and a bruise on my leg. I don't understand how my mom wants me to eat healthy when there isn't even any healthy food at our trailer, nonetheless the whole trailer park..
A week went by and I was 13 more pounds. Mama was SOOOO mad. Maybe I should lose weight. Everyone at school makes fun of me like that one time in gym class when I tried to to the cartwheel and my jeans ripped right in half. My mama blames walmart, but I know it was just me.
My goal is to be 89 pounds, which is underweight for my age and height but it's fine. My goal is to eat one thing of spicy shrimp ramen a day, and I will for sure lose some weight.
Back to the story, I got up and picked out my forever21 dress from goodwill, and my maroon converse. I walked out the door and grabbed nutter butter wafers for breakfast. My mom gave me a glare and pulled my hair.
" If anyone bullies you today, tell Mr.Snoozer right away."
" It's all good, I just lie and say they did things they didn't." I replied.
" That is my silly goose." My mom replied.
I only lie about that because my mom doesn't give me enough attention at home.
"Oh wait." I thought.
I'm supposed to eat one thing of spicy ramen. Oh well. This won't hurt. I took one nutter butter and hopped on the bus. Everyone was staring at me. I guess it was different for them to see me only eating the butter butters. I normally have a whole see through bag full of junk like, Oreos, Toast Em's, frozen meals, cheese balls, sandwiches, Doritos, and two liters of my favorite soda Mountain Lion.
I continued to walk and found a seat in the front near the kids everyone hates. I wish I could sit next to Felix, my crush but I am not popular enough. He probably wouldn't mind, but I can't fit in the seat next to him...yet. Felix is gorgeous. He is so kind and he is never rude to anyone, but his squad calls me Piggy. I sit in the empty seat reserved for overweight kids. They installed it just for me, they call it the big seat. Then I take my dragon plushie out of my bag. I hug it tight and try to forget that all the people are staring at me.
45 minutes later, we arrive at the school. Underwrath High School. They opened the back door for me to get out. I got out and saw my only friend Jeniford. She was an inspiration to me ( More like thinspiration.) She only weighed 235 pounds. She was like a Victoria Secret model.
" Wow where's your usual meal, Garthi?" Jeniford asked.
Garthi is her nickname for me, don't ask.
"My mom fricking punched me and said I have to lose wait! It is so hard and I am tired of her. I was supposed to get an iPhone X for my birthday, but I only got a Walmart track phone!"
"Woah, slow down! This is crazy. I have to tell someone!" Jeniford says.
I walk into Applied English 7, and sit in the corner. I have to take the 7th grade English, but I am actually pretty good at English. My mom makes me take applied because she thrives off attention from other moms and people.
