„It's half past seven. You should wake him up for school."
„I know. But look at him. I seems so weak. He got so thin. I don't know if he should go to school today.
„It scares how thin our son got, but Michael needs to."
Husband Holldan took her in Arm and a tear flowed down Michael mother's cheek.
His mother stood on the edge the bed and looked at her pale son.
„Wake up sweetheart. It's time for school." she whispered.
Michael only woke up the second time.
„What time is it?" he asked.
„Half past seven"
„I will miss the school bus"
„Don't worry. Dad will drive you to school."
Michael entered the school. It was just before the start of class, so he set off for his first lesson.
„Hey Michael" he heard a familiar voice behind him.
Anna.
„Anna, hi" he answered.
She look at him from top to bottom.
„Wow.." she said with a negative undertone.
„What? Don't you like my outfit?" he asked even though he knew what made her shiver.
„Is that what you wanted to look like before start of summer break?" she asked angrily.
„I- Can we talk about something other"
„No we can't. You look sick, you ARE sick."
„I know"
„So you Know? You think it's beautiful how you look? You have to eat!"
Now Michael got angry. Who does she think she is?
„If you only came up to me to show that you are right, you can go again."
„I want to help you"
„Doesn't seem so" his last words and then he moved away from Anna and continued his way.
When he entered the class, all eyes were on him. The students look down at him in shock.
And they started talking quietly:
„Is that Michael?"
„God, he got so damn thin."
„Does he has an eating disorder?"
„He looks sick."
These words scared him.
Intimidated, he went to his seat and was quiet for the rest of the day.
-
He didn't like the „fat" Michael, but now he hates the skinny Michael.
