Heather's pov
(skips time to when heather get home after school)
song : beach bunny prom queen ( cover by Chloe Moriondo )
standing in front of the mirror ,watching my reflection , I hated what I saw. I hated how I didn't have thighs gap . I hated my fatty arms .I hated how my double chin. I hate how fat my face look . I hated my fat rolls. after what I saw standing in front of the mirror , I definitely did need any dinner either . I decided that I could use some exercise also .I started with 20 crunches ,then 20 jumping jacks and 50 burpees. as it was only 5: 30 pm and the sun was still up I decided to go for a 30 minute run until 6 pm ,because liv will get back home from dance class by 6:15 and I had to make her dinner.
running in the neighbourhood for the past 15 minutes ,I could feel my legs about to give up , but I reminded myself of the disgusting sight I saw about an hour ago in the mirror ,which gave me the strength to keep going.
it was almost 6 pm when I decided to run back home . on my way back I could feel my limbs going weak . my vision started to blur , but somehow managed to get home before Liv . I decided to take another bath . by the time I finished liv got home it was 6 : 30 . I made her a grilled cheese sandwich with half cut cherry tomatoes . I headed back to my room and sat on my across the mirror not daring to see the hideous sight of my body again . my belly was growling from hunger , but I couldn't if I wanted to look good by the end of the summer I had to loose weight , and to loose weight I had to reduce my intake of food and exercise as much as I could .
( time skips to the next morning )
I woke up by my alarm clock buzzing , with a pounding headache probably because I haven't ate anything all day yesterday , but if it could make loose weight it was worth it right ? I sat on my bed gathering some emotional strength to get up and start the day . I took a bath and headed to he kitchen , liv left for school already , I took a glass of water and 2 painkillers , chopped off some cherry tomatoes and baby carrots so that Corry wouldn't say anything about me not eating and headed to school . I was wearing a yellow champion hoodie which was at least 3 size bigger for me , I choose to wear oversize clothes most of the time to hide my fat rolls , we don't need anyone seeing them do we?! as bottoms I wore a light blue boyfriend jeans .
when I arrived at school the morning assembly had already started , i was standing beside a guy from my algebra class his name was Derek or something . in the middle of 7th grader slam my vision started to go blur i was seeing black dots , i felt like i was going to collapse . i think i lost consciousness because all i could hear was girls screaming and the only thing i saw was blurry teachers hovering over me .
AUTHOR'S NOTE :
this chapter was kind of short , next chapter is going to be much better . i'll include Derek's point of view in chapter 3 .
