CHAPTER EIGFTEEN: CHOCOLATE PIES ARE DELICIOUS
Terry "Fatass" McEatsalot stared deeply into her chocolate pie. It was full of her favorite thing—food. But somehow it wasn't satisfying her insatiable hunger.
Terry knew she was fat. She went through painstaking efforts to remind everyone that while she wasn't exactly obese, she did have the occasional fatness none of the other girls at Degrassi had to worry about. That's why she dated Rick so long! What's the use of being the resident fat girl if she didn't suffer not-so-severe beatings and ridicule?
Tubby looked around her. She saw everyhthing from the outside. She was a lone wolf, looking for the kill. Everyone ignored her (as well as you can ignore someone so fat) so she spied on them. She saw Craig and Spinner delicately whispering sweet nothings in each others ears. Manny Santos and JT Yorke were making out something fierce in the middle of the restaurant. And over in the corner, to her horror, she saw something she knew she shouldn't have.
Emma Nelson and Hazel Aden exchanging necklaces. Best friend necklaces!
XxX"My woman is what?" Paige demanded.
"Oh, Paige. Please get me another pie. I'm way too fat to tell you this story without eating!"
Paige nodded grimly, and got Terry a chocolate crème pie. She knew her fatty friend couldn't survive five minutes without something in her mouth! Better pie than Paige's hand!!
"So anyway," Terry said in between massive bites, "I was at The Dot eating a sundae, and some cookies, and a banana split—omigod, they've gotten sooo good since last time! And oh yeah, I had a crème Brule and some pie and—"
"Hey! Tubby! Get on with it!" Page interjected.
"Sorry, Paige," Terry blushed with embarrassment. She was always going off about food! Terry loved food. "Well, I saw something horrific. Hazel and Emma…with friendship necklaces!"
"No!" Paige gasped, stumbling backward. "That cheating slut! And Hazel, too!"
Terry looked at Paige curiously. She didn't realize Emma and Paige had something going on! But Paige seemed more upset about Emma's betrayal than Hazel's! She supposed she should spend less time eating and more time watching the things around her…but that was a crazy thought. Terry munched on another slice of pie.
"God, first Ellie, now Hazel? This is driving me insane! Why can't Emma see how much I like her! I want to be her best friend! I should be exchanging friendship necklaces and bracelets and rings with her! And I should be the one tied up for the night in her basement after she's done humiliating and exhilarating me! Me!"
Terry would have raised an eyebrow at the rant, but she had become distracted by the shiny bead on Paige's floor. Terry was fat, and all the fat had seeped into her brain, making her even more retarded than she already was. "Ooh…shiny," she commemorated, fascinated by the bead. It was very, very shiny indeed.
