Evelyn's P.O.V
This morning Coach told me not to be such a baby. He said that with my pace, I shouldn't have passed out, that maybe I should try harder. So I did. At lunch time, I did some hill repeats, and I just finished our team workout, an hour run through the park.
After showering, while I was getting dressed, I realized something. All the girls around me, clad in their sports bras, getting dressed, were pretty much flat, and I could probably count all their ribs if I wanted to.
Well, if that's what makes them faster, maybe it would work for me too. Maybe I need that body. So thin that you could see my ribs. So thin that I could be snapped in two. So thin that I could run like the wind.
No one's P.O.V
As Evelyn walked through the door, Her mother appeared immediately with a huge smile on her face.
"Ev, we're having a family dinner!" She exclaimed, "It's your favorite, homemade lasagna."
"I'm not hungry. I'm going to bed," Evelyn mumbled, and went to her room.
Gabriella's smile turned into a frown as she called for her husband.
"It's okay, baby," Troy said, wrapping his arms around her waist from behind, "She'll come out and eat with us, as a family. Just give me a minute, I'll go get her," He said, and went upstairs to knock on her door.
"Go away! I need my sleep, I have to wake up early tomorrow," She screamed at the closed doors.
"Evelyn, you have to eat, you just had a practice. You must be starving!" Troy said.
"I went out to eat with the team after," Evelyn lied. She wasn't even friends with anyone on the team. They were all too cocky for their own good and they barely ate anything anyway.
Troy sighed, "Okay, we'll save you some leftovers then honey," he said, and turned around to find Gabriella giving a small smile, "I guess it's just you and me babe," he whispered into her ear. She giggled and pulled him down the stairs.
A Week Later
"Evelyn, what is wrong with you," Allison poked her.
"What?" She came out of her day dream, "Oh... It's nothing. Look, sorry guys, I have to go do some work in the school gym. I'll see you guys in Science," She said to her friends, and walked off.
"What is with her?" Brooke asked.
"I don't know, but she's been like, so totally out of it lately" Kaitlyn said.
"Her whole life now revolves around running. I swear she is probably at the track and the park more than she is at home!" Allison exclaimed.
"Everybody, go do your warm-up! Today is your guys' lucky day, it's conditioning day!" Coach exclaimed and everyone groaned, but went off to do their regular warm-up routine.
"Drop down, and give me twenty!" He screamed.
"KEEP DOING THE SPRINTS UNTILL I TELL YOU TO STOP!" He yelled across the field.
"What are you, WEAK?" He yelled at one of the girls. Evelyn was terrified he would yell at her next, so tried her best to be in his good books.
"We'll finish off with some lunges, then some one legged squats. Come on people! We only have a month until our first meet. I only have a month to whip you all into better shape, so you better do as I say!"
"Today was brutal," One girl said in the change room while cleaning herself up.
"Tell me about it. I hate conditioning days!" Evelyn was standing by these two girls who were talking in front of the mirror. She was just fixing her hair up, when she heard a noise. It sounded like someone was sick in the washroom.
"Are you okay?" Evelyn asked.
"Yeah, just a hard day," The girl tried to smile, and then walked off.
"Everyday is a 'hard day' for her," The two girls started whispering.
"Anorexic!" The one coughed, and the other laughed.
Hey, that's an idea, Evelyn thought. That way I can eat whatever I want and not have to worry… just go for a quick bathroom visit after I eat.
