Now Back to the story
At the park Kimberly met up with her boyfriend Tommy and her friends. About after an hour or so, they stopped playing because Kim has a big day tomorrow. She has a gymnastics competition. Tommy waked Kimberly home and kissed her goodbye.
Kimberly woke up bright and early, so that she can get some practice in before the competition. This competition tournament is really important to her. If she wins this tournament, she will be named Ms. Angel Grove for the 10th time in a row. Kimberly is always so worried about the competition, although she shouldn't worry. Kimberly completely blew the judges away and was once again named Ms. Angel Grove.
Kimberly has a full plate already and makes worse, when she tries out for the track team and makes it. Tommy begins to feel as though Kimberly doesn't have enough time for him anymore with all that she does. So he decides to break up with her. Kimberly cares more about Tommy then anything else in her life. However, she can't convince Tommy of that and he walks away from her. Kimberly goes hope completely heart broken and decides that she doesn't want dinner tonight. Considering how thin Kimberly is, missing even one meal is a danger to her health.
Kim's parents are away at a doctor's convention in New York. Diane and Steve are really concerned about her, but they don't know what to do about it.
"Should we call Jennifer and let her know what is going on?" Steve asked.
"She is her mother and she has a right to know." Diane said.
Diane does call Jennifer, but also lets her know that she can handle this situation.
This situation only gets worse. By Thursday, Kimberly bones are starting to show. Diane doesn't know what to do. Kim is so brokenhearted, she refuses to eat. Friday comes, and Kimberly is too weak to go to school. So Diane does go to the school, she tells Mr. Kaplan what has been happening and that she can't come to school for a while.
Tommy doesn't see Kimberly in the halls or in the classes he has with her. He goes to talk to Mr. Kaplan. Mr. Kaplan tells Tommy about Kimberly's condition. Tommy stops off at the Youth Center to get Kimberly a hamburger loaded with mustard and then heads over to see Kim.
When he got there, he went right up to her room. He was shocked by what he saw, he knew she looked bad, but this was worse than what he could ever imagine. Kim was pale as a ghost and her body was so thin that you could see the bones in her entire body.
"Eat this NOW!" Tommy said giving her a hamburger.
Usually Kim doesn't eat things loaded in fat, but she will make an exception this time. Kimberly ate slowly, enjoying each bite. In the past couple of days she has barley eaten.
Tommy and Kimberly talk (which is what they should have done in the first place). Kimberly tells Tommy she wants things to back to the way thongs were. Tommy and Kimberly get back together and he takes her out for dinner. After a couple of days Kimberly is almost completely better.
