Everyone Has a Problem

"Hey, Sharpay!" Gabriella smiled, waving to her friend from the lunch table.
"Hey Gabi," Sharpay said, rather sleepily and sat down. She pulled out from her lunchbox a salad and water.
"That's all you're eating?" Gabriella asked, eyeing the meager amount of food.
"Well, I've been gaining a few pounds, and the musical's coming up and I have to be in shape," Sharpay said matter-of-factly, putting another lettuce leaf in her mouth.
"Okay…" Gabriella looked worried, but didn't say anything more.
Sharpay took out a handheld mirror and opened it. "Ugh, I'm ugly." she frowned at her reflection.
"Nonsense!" Gabriella said.
"Hey Gabs!" Sharpay squealed and walked over to her friend.
Gabriella widened her mascara-caked eyes at what Sharpay's lunch was: two burgers, fries, and a Coke.
Sharpay, noticing Gabriella's expression, said, "I have a really long History test and I need to keep energized, "she took a bite out of one of the burgers "Mmm, delicious!"
The lights went on, bathing everyone in a fluorescent glow.
"I'm off! Toodles!" Sharpay waved and headed to the bathroom.
Gabriella looked at the empty lunch tray and Sharpay leaving and pieced tow and tow together…No, Sharpay wouldn't do that…or would she?
"Hey Gabi!" Sharpay said, sitting down on the bench.
"Oh, hey…" Gabriella jumped out of her train of thought.
Sharpay rose and threw out her tray.
"Sharpay, do you have an eating disorder?" Gabriella said seriously.
Sharpay tried her best to hide her surprise, but was unsuccessful, "Me? No," she said, but still looked flustered. She managed a laugh and a smile, the kind a smile that you plaster on for school pictures where everyone looks really strained and hyper, trying to hide something. Sharpay showed a set of straight teeth, but instead of their usual white Colgate glow, they looked slightly rotten and yellow. I haven't seen Sharpay smile in a while, come to think of it…
"Ok…" Gabriella said disbelievingly.
The bell rang. "See you during Health!" Sharpay said sweetly and walked out of the crowded lunchroom.
