-Eating disorder

It was a day later. George and I had acted normally around each other, but I realised more and more how much I liked him. I noticed every single thing about him. The way he brushed his hand through his hair, the way he smiled about a stupid joke, the way he walked, the way he laughed. He was just so amazing in every way. I realised more and more about him and they were all amazing honestly.

I ate a little more and I noticed I had more energy. I was less cold and I could do a little sports again. I wasn't allowed to exercise from George and Sapnap, but I could go out to walk for a little. Today we decided to go and skate. I was forced to swear I would stop if I got tired.

It was just before lunch and Sapnap gave me two sandwiches, which made me panic completely.

'I'm not eating two.'

'One with a salad?' George asked.

I sighed. I hated debating all the time.

'Half a salad.'

'No, this time not. You're going to burn a lot of calories, you need more otherwise we won't go skating.'

'Can you please take a few bites?' I whispered.

George nodded. He took one bite of my sandwich and two of my salad. 'Here you go.'

'One more?'

'A really small one.'

George took a small bite and I ate my sandwich.

'How much sauce is over the salad?'

'Half of it.'

'That's too much.'

'Dream, you need it.'

'One more bite then,' I demanded.

Sapnap sighed a little, but George took one more spoon.

'Now you can eat it.'

I ate the salad too and stood up. 'Can I skate now?'

'If you eat this,' George said holding a little piece of chocolate.

'Half.'

'No, whole.'

I sighed and ate whole of it with shaking hands. Sapnap hugged me when I finished it.

'I'm proud, dude. If you eat a biscuit this midday you can maybe even skate a little longer.'

'A biscuit?'

'Yeah.'

'I will think about it.'

It was time to leave and Sapnap drove us to a skate park. I put on skates and so did everyone else. I was very bad at skating and I knew for sure I was going to fall countless times. I watched George who seemed to exactly know what to do. He rolled in his skates like a sort of angel. I wished he could learn it to me. I stood up and started skating slowly. Sapnap was also trying, he seemed to succeed.

'Hey, you good?' George yelled at me.

'I really can't do this,' I giggled.

George skated towards me and grabbed my hand. I felt butterflies in my stomach as he touched me. I wished he would never let go of me anymore. He showed me how to do it, but I was completely distracted by his beautiful looks and his awesome charms. The way he moved so smoothly on his skates, it was amazing. I saw his mouth moving, but I could only look at his lips. They looked so kissable. I wish I could feel them kiss mine.

'Are you listening?'

'I uh- sorry. I just zone out so quickly.'

'I saw.'

'So where did you zone out?'

'Midway.'

He explained the last part again, but I didn't hear it again. I looked at his lips again. They were so pink and his cheeks were a little pink because of the effort he made. It was so cute.

'Come on, try it.'

I just did something and he grabbed my hand tightly to make sure I wouldn't fall. His hand was way warmer than mine, I was very cold. I started skating and I felt I was going to fall. I soon fell down and pulled George accidentally with me. I fell on top of him again, but I did the stupidest thing I had ever done. I looked him in his eyes and moved closer. I almost kissed him when I realise what I was doing. I rolled away and stood up. I breathed heavily, why did I do this? Why did I almost kiss him again, after that rejection.

'I'm so sorry,' I muttered. 'I-.'

'What the heck, what's wrong?'

'I'm so sorry.'

Sapnap came closer, he probably saw it too. He looked at me confused. I threw my skates away and started running as hard as I could.
