"I wanna be skinny" I say to Manny while looking at my reflection in the mirror. "Are you kidding me Em, your skinny already" she says while rolling her eyes. "No, I'm just I'm so fat Manny" I say with a chuckle. "Stop it! You are not fat!" her smile deflates knowing that her best friend is thinking that she is fat. And I am I weigh a flippin' 118 lbs. They can say it's because I'm so tall all they want, but inside, in their mind I know that they know that it's because I have so much fat. I poke the bottom of my leg and watch the fat jiggle.
Manny: Am I going to have to take down that mirror?
Emma: Ugh. No…
I walk away from the mirror and flop down on my bed.
Manny: Good, because I like that mirror.
I look over at her; she's reading a magazine, the new one she got in the mailbox earlier today. It's all about fashion and glamour. Something I don't like as much as her, she's like obsessed I believe one day she'll open her own clothing line or something fancy like that. Now as for my dreams, I dream of one day becoming a physical therapist. Yeah that's nothing compared to what Manny is going to become but oh well, it's at least something.
It's
not over tonight
Just give me one more chance to make it right
I
may not make it through the night-
Emma: Hello
Sean: Hey, I was thinking maybe you and I could go to the dot tonight?
Emma: I'm not that hungry, but okay.
Sean: And then after, maybe watch a movie, you're choice.
Emma: Sounds good to me, see you at the dot at say 10?
Sean: 30 minutes, that's good. See ya then.
Emma: Love you
Sean: Love you too.
I hang up and go into the bathroom, brush my teeth and touch up my hair. I decide to wear my deep pink and white striped tank top with my black warm-up pants. Then I add a little dab of eye shadow and slip my tennis shoes on.
Manny: What time will you be back?
Emma: Umm, give me 'til 11:30. I'll have my cell phone if you need me.
Manny: Okay
I grab my cell phone and climb out the window.
OK a short 1st post, but the next one should be longer. I can't guarantee when I will put up another post but I will as soon as I can. Some things you might need to know about Emma: She is a cheerleader, and gymnast. Dating Sean (obviously). She has never had an eating disorder. Manny, Sean and Emma are all in grade 11, currently on winter break. If there's anything else I'll let ya know. R&R please.
