Lizzie went downstairs as her mother called her for dinner. Spaghetti, meatballs, and vinergar salad. Lizzie ate some lettuce, and quietly shoved the rest of the food into the napkin on her lap when her family wasn't looking. Matt looked at her oddly. Had he seen her food falling under the table? After dinner, the said goodnight to her parents and ran upstairs. She grabbed her book, "Of Carbs and Fat: A book of dieting". (Okay, I just totally made up that book's name) She was reading the next chapter.how to loose weight fast, when Matt walked in. He was in sixth grade, but had matured more than you'd think in a year. "Uh.Lizzie?" He said quietly entering the room. "Yeah." She responded, not taking her eyes of the page. "I. I saw you putting your food in your lap." He whispered. "I wasn't hungry. I'm trying to read, Matt." "Yeah. well, you haven't been eating much. Gordo asked me if you were okay; he said you almost fainted in algebra. Anyway, I'll leave you alone." He left.
Lizzie picked up her journal. It was black, with baby blue stars and light blue pages.

I went running today. Not very interesting, since I go running every day. I looked at the bathroom scale today. I lost five pounds in one week. I was pretty happy. I did my homework tonight so I could go to the movies with Miranda and Gordo tomorrow. I think Matt suspected about my food. I can't hold it in any longer. I have to tell someone. Just tell them, I haven't eaten a meal in three days. I need help. But do I really need help? It seems healthy. Today I even ate part of my salad. And I'm excercising, so this can't be bad. It's just a natural way to be. slim. Maybe I'm fooling myself. They say people go through denial when they first start an eating disorder. Well I don't think so. I feel perfectly healthy. So what if I get a little weak in the knees? That's normal, isn't it? Anyway, I feel tired. I'm going to bed now.
Lizzie changed into her PJs and brushed her teeth. She looked in the mirror for the eighth time that day before going to bed.
The next day the three met at the Digital Bean at 3:00 PM.
"Hey," They all said in unision as the met. Miranda got a Digital Chocolate Sundae, Gordo got a Coke and a giant cookie, and Lizzie got a bottle of water. "What's wrong Lizzie? You haven't had the usual in weeks. months?" Miranda said. When she said "the usual", she meant the order that Lizzie always got at the Digital Bean: a medium burger and a giant cookie. Of course, that was before she started watching her weight. "Uh . nothing. Just watching out for my healthy. Do you knoe how many calories are in that sundae?" She asked. Gordo looked at her. "Lizzie, you're strange. Are you sure you're all right?" She gave him a simple nod.
