"C'mon, Theo! Just one more lap!" Jeanette shouted at Theodore.
He was running as fast as he could, however heaving and sweating. He and were out to pick up some stuff for Brittany at the mall. Not only did Jeanette made Theodore bike all the way to the mall, which was at least 4 miles, but now they stopped at the park to run laps before they went home. Theodore was so tired, he was about to flop down there, right on the grass and fall asleep. Jeanette noticed, so she handed him a water bottle and a hand towel to wipe all that sweat off of his face. They rested there on the park bench.
On the first day of summer, Theodore made Jeanette and Simon agree that they would help poor Theodore get in shape by the end of August. It was going to be hard, but they would try the best that they could to help Theodore to lose at least 60 pounds by the beginning of August. So, they were going to make him go on a strict diet and an intensifying workout routine.
All because of Eleanor. As you all know, Theodore had a huge crush on Eleanor, and a few weeks ago, he had heard her say she would only date lean, muscular hunkies. Theodore knew that there was no way that Eleanor would ever fall in love with him, so decided that he would change his lifestyle to make him exactly what Eleanor wanted.
"Oh, Theo," Jeanette sighed sadly as Theodore panted like a dying dog.
"I can't kill myself like this!" Theodore replied tiredly.
"Didn't you say you wanted to do this?" She inquired.
"Only because Eleanor said she only liked body-building hunkies." Said Theodore sadly. "I thought, maybe if I lost some weight, and had some abs, she would like me more."
"I'm sure she likes you Theodore," Jeanette smiled.
But he only shook his head. "If I walk, could I still burn calories?"
She grabbed most of the shopping bags and handed him the rest. "Yes," she replied, "So keep moving. " Theodore begrungingly followed.
"Oh, what good does it make? She'll never like me!" He wailed.
Jeanette merely shrugged. "You have to try, at least. You'll never know unless you try."
"I wish I was as skinny as you! Then life would much easier!" Theodore pouted.
Tears welled up in Jeanette's eyes. "Being this skinny isn't as great, you know." She ran away sobbing.
"I'm sorry Jeanette, I didn't mean-"
But she was too far away to hear him.
A/N: So... Whaddya think? Should I continue? PLEEZE TELL MEH!
