Chapter 4: The Truth Hurts
"You really taught Sean a lesson!" said Paige.
"Yeah, he must be crying his eyes out" said Hazel.
"Thanks! When someone gets on my nerves, I've got to hurt them" said Terri.
"I'm not afraid of you Terri."
Terri turned around to see Sean, Jimmy and Craig.
"Shut up."
"Just cuz you punched me doesn't mean I'm gonna stop picking on you,
blubber!"
Jimmy was cracking up in the back. Craig stood there silently.
"Leave her alone!" said Hazel.
"Why should I?"
"Because I'm NOT fat! Talk all you want, but I know I'm not overweight!"
"Stop lying! You know you're fat! Right guys?"
Jimmy pauses for a second, then answers. "You could lose a few pounds."
"No offense, Jimmy's kinda right!" said Craig.
"Forget you! You're just stupid like Sean!" said Terri.
"Let's go guys!" said Sean.
"Can you believe him?" said Terri. "I have a nice body just like you Paige.
Right?"
"Um...Um..." said Paige, hesitating.
"Well.." said Hazel.
"So what's your answer?"
"Sean's kinda right. You're a little overweight!" said Paige, with relief.
"I can't believe you would say something so mean Paige!"
"Paige is right. Your body is not like hers at all!" said Hazel.
"This is what I get for dumping Ashley to be friends with you two. You're
making fun of me just like Sean!"
"Ter, hun. We're just speaking the truth." said Hazel.
"Yeah. Calm down."
"Forget you! I'm so outta here!" said Terri, with tears streaming down her
face.
