Chapter 2

Skin ‘N Bones & Covered in Scars

 

The first chapter for this was written in the beginning of December. So I decided I should write the next chapter.

 

Nobody really demanded or anything so I really don’t know why actually…..

 

I’m still not sure of the gender yet so we’ll see what I decide to do I guess.

 

Chapter 2

 

As I walk to school I have a slight smile on my face in hope that they’ll stop. But my head say they won’t. They won’t stop until I starve myself to death, maybe even then they won’t. They’ll continue to tease and bully my soul. In a different way maybe with different taunts and such but they might keep at it.

 

I stop right outside of the school gates. I never knew why they started calling me fat in the first place. They were the same weight as me and there were even obese people.  But, they left those people alone. So why did they decide to start teasing me about something like that?

 

I don’t think I’ll ever know but it’s too late now. The damage has been done and I’m still losing weight. Pretty soon I’ll collapse from the lack of muscle and fat on my body. I’m literally a walking skeleton wrapped in skin now.

 

I sigh. I walk into the school thinking I probably shouldn’t be late. I’ve never been late to class you know? I haven’t had an absence in 3 years either and that one I had was from having a slight cold.

 

As I walk to the building I get the usual teasing and such. Just whatever. It’s only when I run into the school’s bully when it gets bad. And just my luck he’s standing right outside the doors.

 

“Well if it isn’t the fatty.” He says with a smirk on his face. I just stare at him with a blank face. His bullying has pretty much taken away my emotions.  “How much do you weigh now?”

 

“85 pounds.” I respond in hope he’ll lay off.

 

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. That’s still too heavy. You’ll need to lose at least 40 more pounds.” He remarked with a disapproving look on his face.

 

“Oh.” I just look down. Can a full-grown person even weigh 45 pounds and still be able to walk around and function correctly. Who knows? I nod at his statement and walk by him into the school building.

 

I know he gets amusement from telling me to lose all this weight and I can’t help but agree with him. I wouldn’t want to say no and have him beat up my fragile body resulting in majorly injuring me or even killing me.

 

I slowly walk to my locker and grab what I needed for the day and walk to my classroom. It’s been getting harder to carry these books lately.  I’m surprised I can still carry 3 of them but by the time I get to my classroom I’m out of breath from carrying the books.

 

I struggle to walk the rest of the way to my desk in the far corner of the room but I manage to get there. Maybe I should ask my mom to drive me to school from now on. I might not get tired out so quickly then.

 

After catching my breath I look up to see the teacher walking in. I sigh. Guess I should get my stuff out huh?

 

 

 

After School

 

 

 

Managed to pass out in PE today. He made us run the mile and that was just too much on my body. That was the first time I have ever passed out though. I ended up missing half of the school day because of it. Well there goes my 3-year perfect attendance record.

 

I start my 5-minute walk home. Yeah I know it’s sad that I get so winded just from short walk. Maybe I should ignore the bullies and sign up for therapy. For anorexic maybe, or maybe just depression. I don’t know.

 

I know I need to stop starving myself, but my body see’s food as something foreign now. It doesn’t know what it is anymore. It would take a long time to be able to even swallow a bite.

 

I don’t even know what hunger is anymore. I never feel hungry. My cells just eat at whatever muscles I have left and have probably started eating my bones too. My hair is really thin and my hair and nails don’t even grow anymore.

 

On my way out of the school building I accidently run into someone. I just mumble a sorry and walk away, not making eye contact. He or she tried to call after me for whatever but I just quickly walked away.

 

 

 

Well there’s that chapter.

 

Should the main character be a girl or a boy? I keep imagining a boy so he might end up being male……

 

Tell me what you guys think. :)
