Diet

On a nice Saturday evening, usually, Selena and Terry would just be at their home either studying or finishing their homework. If those two are done, Selena would be sitting at the couch with a snack in hand while watching the tv, and Terry would be cleaning the house around, vacuuming the carpet.

While waiting for her favourite show, she waited while watching the advertisement just played in front of her, mostly talking about diets, which she doesn't really care about. She's not the type to care about her health, or her body, she just rather be herself, and that's who she is.

"Sel," Terry approached her, "I know you hate sports and cleaning but come on, just a bit of cleaning won't hurt."

"You clean too much," she said, putting more chips into her mouth looking annoyed.

"Still, it doesn't give you a reason to laze around like this," he pointed at the mess she made at the coffee table which she didn't care about. She just continued eating her chips while watching the television.

"Noooo, it's not a big problem, it's a human thing," she said lying down on the couch relaxed.

For a moment Terry stared at her, looking disappointed before he turned to the television, with a doctor that was talking about a healthy diet.

"An imbalance in diet can cause horrible diseases."

He turned back to her, glaring at her, "I don't trust your human ways."

"You don't even know how good food tastes like."

It didn't take long before Terry decided to drag her for a medical check-up, despite multiple attempts of running away, he managed to convince her.

"Miss Goodwill."

Hearing the voice coming from the doctor made her frown almost immediately, she gulped, she knew this doctor. He folded his arms looking at her disappointed, "If I remember correctly, I told you to look after your food."

"Wait, did she visit this--"

"Yes, right after she hit her head, luckily there's hope for her injury to heal along with her brain," the doctor sighed before he went to his desk and started writing down things on a piece of paper as she looked worried.

"Are you her friend?"

"Her roommate."

"Perfect," the doctor ripped the paper off his notepad before passing it to Terry, "here's the food you should feed her and what she needs to avoid and also some daily exercises she could use."

"Thanks," Terry said taking the paper.

That was the beginning of the hell that Selena would be going through. Every time they would go home from class, he would bring her to jog with him along the forest path, even having a leash on her hand just to make sure she doesn't escape.

"Terry, I know you are trying to be caring, but why did you leash me?"

"Even though we are inseparable, you can still run to the nearest convenience store."

"I just want a chocolate bar."

"He said just 3 weeks Sel, 3 weeks!"

"3 weeks is hell."

"I represent the vampire community would like to apologize to you by doing this with you."

"Let me have my food! You already banned me from drinking!"
