It was a Sunday morning when it first started. Travis had just gotten out of bed and was ready to face the day! He happily skipped into the kitchen, and started making himself breakfast. He had just made himself a bowl of cereal, when he heard the doorbell ring. He immediately jumped up and went to grab it. When he opened the door, whe was met with the faces of both Aphmau and Katelyn. He grinned at them and gave a quick chirpy greeting as he let them through the door. Aphmau responded with her own greeting back, but Katelyn gave out an annoyed grunt. She had always been annoyed at him for flirting constantly, and when this fact had really sunk in, he stopped. It had been five months since he stopped flirting with anyone, yet they still teased him about it, and Katelyn always falsely accused him of flirting. But it didn't matter, as long as his friends were happy.
He let them into the house, and led them to the kitchen, assuming they came for breakfast. Lucky enough, he was right. They immediately started scouting for food. Of course, the second they saw his full, untouched bowl of cereal, they had to comment on it.
"That's a lot of food Travis! I don't know how your so skinny!" said Aphmau.
But then, he heard it. His hearing just picked up Katelyn mumbling:
"Yeah, soooooo skinny" she scoffed sarcastically under her breath. Of course, she didn't know that Travis heard her, and he didn't want her too. So to cover up the sinking feeling in his stomach, he slapped on a fake smile and meekly asked if anyone wanted it. Luckily, they didn't pick up on amything wrong, and happily took the food. He looked back into the pantry to see if there was anything for him, but he seemed to have lost all of his appetite. If anything, he was feeling a bit sick to his stomach, although it could just be the anxiety.
So, he ended up going back to his room with nothing to eat. He was constantly teased at school for bring a dumbass, so he figured he should at least do something useful, like study. He ended up studying till dinner, totally forgetting about lunch. He was engaged in a complicated math problem when he heard Aphmau yell:
"Dinner time everyone!"
He quickly finished his problem and scurried upstairs for dinner. Although, as he entered the room, for he first time, he really noticed how many people there were. He immediately felt bad for eating lots of food in the past, because there was so many people! How could he have been so greedy as to have taken a full plate of food, when there was obviously people who actually deserved it! He served himself a small plate and silently sat at his place. He looked around him, at all the people eating, and immediately felt the famoushing hunger of not eating all day, especially with his previous eating habits. But then, he remembered what Katelyn had said earlier that day. 'Yeah, soooooo skinny' (sarcasticly). When he looked back at his food, he seemed to have lost his appetite, so he pushed his food around his plate for a while, to make it look like he was eating. At the end of dinner, he dropped his food in the compost and silently cursed at himself for wasting so much food on himself.
He then on, vowed to eat the least possible, to save money, and to lose weight.
