I Don't Wanna Stop Ch. 3

*Scene 1*

Setting- Paige's house

Paige wakes up with her stomach growling and huge bags under her eyes. She stands up, although a bit weak, and walks to her mirror. The very same mirror where she first decided to go on this intense "diet". She doesn't understand why she is starving herself, but she still wants to. She looks up and down at her body, not satisfied at all. All she sees is fat. Fat everywhere. She runs over to her bed and picks up the same magazine that she and Hazel were looking at two nights ago. She flips through it and rips out a page with a very pretty, very skinny, blonde model on it and puts it on her mirror with a piece of tape. She takes one last look at it and gets ready for school.

"Paige, here, eat some cereal," Paige's mom says to her as she enters her kitchen.

"Um," Paige tries to think fast, "I'll just grab a granola bar as I head out. I don't want to be late." She grabs a granola bar just like she said and heads out the front door before her mom gets one word in.

*Scene 2*

Setting- Homeroom

"Paige!" Spinner yells across Mrs. Kwan's room.

"Gavin, this is homeroom. Please don't yell across the room," Mrs. Kwan says strictly.

"What Spin," Paige says when she reaches the other side of the room to Spinner. They both sit down in their seats and start whispering as Mrs. Kwan talks about some upcoming event.

Looking up at her he says, "Well, at lunch. You just disappeared. Where'd you g--"

"I remembered that I had to finish something for Armstrong. I didn't have time to eat," she lies without thinking about it. Lying was coming easier and easier for her.

"Oh!" He screamed in a whisper. "Me and Jimmy thought you were like on a diet or something." He stressed his voice on the word "diet". "Because you know, your body is fine," he finishes, having a feeling that she wasn't telling the whole truth.

Flattered but yet in disbelief she replies smugly, "No. Hun, I know that I don't need to diet." They both giggle a little bit as she turns around to actually listen to Mrs. Kwan.

*Scene 3*

Setting- Lunch time. The gym time for Paige.

"20, 21, 22," Paige counts as she does sit-ups in the empty gym. "I can't believe I'm exercising without being forced to," she says to herself jokingly. "25, 26," she counts all the way up the fifty, sweating, her make-up running into her eyes. As she sits up on 51, she sees Hazel walking towards her with a sad look on her face.

"Paige, what are you doing?" She says walking up close.

"Exercising," a startled Paige says quickly, stating the obvious.

"I know what you're doing! I should have known two days ago! Why? You are so pretty. Why hurt your health. I tried the same thing once," she says almost in tears. "I never told you this before. But before I moved here I really had a lot of problems. It started out a "diet". But it turned out it was more of a diet than I planned on Paige," Hazel practically yells.

Paige looks at Hazel sympathetically, and gets up and runs out of the gym...
