2002 Rainbow Kisses

Chapter 13

It has been almost two weeks now since I joined the gym and I can honestly say it was the worst decision I have ever made. How do people continue going back to that hell hole. My body is always in so much pain even after two full weeks. Walking is a struggle, sitting down is a struggle even standing up is an awful experience. Why did I agree to this though, well on the bright side I did lose 5kg in the short time I have been to the gym so at least all this pain is paying of in some way.

Okay well Ash was right about one thing, I am more active even though I am in pain. I can go up and down the stairs in school without breaking a sweat. Talking about Ash, she is mad at me right now and refuses to talk to me.

So about a week ago Samantha showed up at my house crying and begging for forgiveness. She told me she said all those mean things to me because she just wanted to fit in and that she did not mean any of them. She even asked if we could be friends again, well she looked really sincere and I forgave her for everything she said and did to me, well I did tell her it would take a long time before I could trust her again since she had hooked up with my boyfriend and she also knew that he was cheating on me. She agreed to my terms and then she went home after OUR little chat.

Well after talking to Sam, I called Ash to tell her the good news, well Ash did not take the news well. I understand where she is coming from but I believe that everyone deserves a second chance no matter what they did in the past.

I have been trying to talk to Ash in class but she completely ignores me, well something did come out of her not talking to me, I did not end up entering the bikini contest so that's something. So this morning Sam invited me to a small gathering that is happening at Toni's house. She promised it would only be a few people so I didn't have anything to worry about. Well it is Friday today and I decided to go to the gym for an hour and half then I will go home; take a shower, fix myself a bit then head out to the party.

I am low key going to this session so that I can maybe fill up my rainbow book.
Knowing Sam there will definitely be some guys there, I feel more confident about myself. Losing a whole 5kg will do that to a girl.

I am finally leaving the gym and I bump into Adam.
"So no smoothie today?" he asks.
"nope, not today, it also would  feel weird going to the shop without Ash, it is kind of our thing, you know." I say

"well it's understandable I guess. But maybe we could have a smoothie together sometime well when I'm not working that is."he smiles at me.
Adam is really sweet, I think I might even have a crush on him.
He is really handsome and super motivated, he works at the coffee shop part time while studying.

We started talking more after I realised we go to the same gym and I go to his coffee shop every day after gym. Well not every day since Ash is not with me. Yeah Adam is that cute guy who served Ash and I that first day we started gym.

"Yeah, well I guess you will first have to convince Ash to talk me so we can all hang out" I say because I'm pretty certain  he did not mean just me and him.

"Umm, okay" he then laughs. I do not get why he is laughing but I decide not to ask him about it.

"Well I better rush home, a friend invited me to a small get together and I want to get there on time" I say.
I really should get going.
Maybe I might even make Ash proud and kiss someone at the party so I should go with my Polaroid camera to capture the moment.

"yeah a" get together"" he says in quotes. Then he rolls his eyes.
I can not belive we are just standing outside the gym house, people keep looking at us funny. Probably wondering what a fat girl is doing with such a beautiful specimen. I push my negative thoughts aside and continue with the conversation with Adam.
