Drabble #31: Salad

Prompted by: Love2Write21

Patricia

"Trixie? Are you feeling alright?" Alfie asks, looking at me wearily.

"Yeah... I'm fine... Why do you ask?" I ask, eyebrows raised.

"Your eating a salad." He states, chuckling a bit.

"Haha very funny Alfredo..." I retort. Fabian, KT, Willow and everyone else are off doing who-knows-what, while Eddie is off seeing his dad. That's why I'm eating now. "You know what? Your right... This is absolutely disgusting..." I say, pushing it away from me.

"I'm sure Trudy can fix you up something else-"

"No it's fine, I'm not hungry anymore..." I lie, heading up to my room. Truth is, I'm starving. Have been all week. Several days ago, I was at school in the drama room, and these girls, were just sitting there. Until one of then called me a day cow. They all had perfect teeth, long blonde hair. I rolled my eyes, and quickly brushed it off. But truth was, it really hurt me. A lot. So that night, I agreed to go on a diet. I began eating less. I eventually tried sticking my fingers down my throat, but it was just too hard... So that meant I just had to eat less... I'm pretty sure no one's noticed... Except for maybe Alfie right there but whatever. A knock at my door is then heard. "Come in." I call. Eddie answers.

"Hey." He says.

"Oh hey, how was takeout?" I ask.

"Eh, pretty good... Never as good as Trudy'd food though." We both laugh. We sit there, talking for hours on end, until Victor calls:

"It is ten o'clock! You all know what that means! You have five minutes, precisely, and then I shall want to hear... A pin... Drop!" We both sigh.

"I guess I'll see you in the morning then?" He asks.

"I guess so..." I sigh. "Night." I offer.

"Night." He responds, pecking my lips, and heading off. I sigh. I feel a bit bad lying to him.

I wake up the next morning, and smile at the sun. Haha no... I wake up, and then groan, looking at the clock: 6:00. I hurry, get dressed, do my hair, and hop down the stairs. I take my usual seat, next to Eddie, as he throws an arm around me. I smile, and begin to pick at my food. "What's wrong? Not hungry or something?" He asks.

"Yeah, that's it... Not very hungry... I'm gonna head off early, yeah?" I offer weakly. He sighs.

"Alright, just be careful..." I smile, and grab my bags, heading over to school. I walk alone, as the birds chirp, the sun shines, and temperature rises. My stomach growls. I sigh. That's it. I couldn't take it anymore! I don't care what people think!

"Yeah right..." I mumble to myself. Just then, a pair of arms come up, snaking around my waist, and spin me around. "Ah! Eddie!" I squeal, as he sets me down.

"Whoa Yacker... Are you sure you're alright? You've gotten thinner..." He asks, concerned wiped across his face.

"Yeah I'm fine, I just-" I cut myself off by sobbing. Eddie brings me in for a hug, while I just sit there, sobbing into his shirt. "I started to diet." I explain between cries.

"Why? Patricia you don't need to diet..." He says softly.

"Yeah I guess I've realized that... Now..." I mumble. "These girls, at school- they called me a fat cow..." I sigh. He looks angry.

"They're lucky they're girls..." He mutters. I laugh a bit, as he slings an arm around me. "You promise you'll stop, okay?"

"Yeah, I promise. Besides... I'm starving!" I exclaim, as we both begin to laugh.

How many y'all liked Palfie friendship? I know I did:) haha I've been cracking down on myself for writing these prompts... Surprisingly , I've pre-written the last few:) this chapter's question:

If you had to choose one of Senkhara'a curses, which would it be? Patricia's voice loss, Amber's aging, Alfie's de-aging, or Fabian's memory loss?

I would pick Patricia's voice loss, because I would LOVE to kiss Eddie! :D Also, my goal is 50 drabbles by the time I get out of school! Not a lot more than that, but around there:) I get out of school in the second week of June, btw:)
