"Hey, Watch where you're going, fatty" a girl said to me, even though she was the one who wasn't watching.
I sighed, I'm presently at school and as usual people were snarling at me and saying all sort of abusive words to make me feel bad, but I'm used to it.
I got to my locker, put my books in and slammed it shut, which was a mistake by the way cos I knew James would use it as an opportunity to mock me.
Well, James is my long time crush and I love him, though it seems weird but I do imagine us getting married In the future and having beautiful kids.
In my world of fantasies I never knew I was smiling, until I recieved a slap on my cheeks and I snapped out of my daydreaming to see James having a murderous look on.
"I asked you a question dummy?" He snarled and I realised the whole school were staring at us and phones were already up.
"I didn't get your question?" I stuttered gazing at the floor and shifting uncomfortably between my legs.
"Well I'm not surprised your fat has properly gotten to your brain making it impossible for you to think. I wonder how you sleep comfortably" he replied with a disgusted look and the students let out a throaty mocking laughter.
Tears stung my eyes, I wasn't crying because of the embarrassment; I have received worst than this but because it was coming from someone i liked very much was so heartbreaking.
So I turned around and ran off but I heard him say "she runs like an old woman".
****
I drank from the liquor on the table, even though it burned my tongue I still forced it down my throat.
I was home, mom was off to work and would be back by 7:30pm and its still 10am by my time.
Life is damn boring. I picked up the TV remote and turned on the Tv, but nothing reasonable was going on so I turned it off.
I'm sure the whole news about my embarrassment today would be all over the school website.
But nevertheless I still logged into it and the comments I saw brought tears to my eyes.
(Did anyone noticed that as she ran out of school, the grounds were shaking, I thought it was an earthquake)
(I wonder how disappointed her mom must be I mean she's just too large)
(James should make her cry more often so she would run and loose weight, he's even helping her)
(Does any body remember when she wrote a love letter to James telling him how much she loves him)
And on and on the comments went everyone having bad things to say about me.
I threw my phone on the wall shattering it, as i held my head in my hands.
I didn't know when I slept off.

In a field filled with people is a young girl of about 19, she had a blonde short hair.
In her hand was a bat, she held it tightly as she waited for the ball to be thrown.
At the corner, sat another girl, same looks with the first girl but this time, a little younger, she had her hair tied up in a bun.
A fat chubby man sat at the corner, receiving cheers from the crowd, he was drinking a bottle water, his eyes pinned on his opponent.
The guts of the girl amazed him. He was known as the king of baseball but the kid just walked in with a bat and challenged him.
He had won a lot since morning and thinking the kid was surely gonna loose, he placed all his wins for the day as a bet, well the girl promise to do whatever he wanted if she lost. So yes, he accepted.
He stood up as different girls rubbed their hands all over him.
He walked towards her direction and picked up his bat then smicked at her.
"You sure you don't wanna go back home to your momma kiddo" he said mockingly and the crowd booed.
"You might be the one going back home today, cos imma kick your Ass" she replied and it infuriated him, giving her just the reaction she needed.
The ball was thrown and her hands tightened around the baseball bat.
The ball was hit with all her strength and he came crashing down in an instant, she didn't bother running round the field as her sister already had the whole money.
After collecting the money, She came running to her.
"That was..."
"...a boom" the completed and they fist bumped.
"It's almost late, let's leave" the girl said grabbing her younger sister by the hand.
Well, I'm Leslie Lincoln and beside me is my sister Mia Lincoln, she's my world.
I can't trade her for a billion dollar.
Your probably wondering what about my parents thats a story for another day.
They walked and got to a quiet place, there they saw three people, at first they thought they were playing but when Leslie saw one of them hit the female, she stretched out my hands and Mia handed her her bat, Leslie goes everywhere with it.
"Hey..what the hell do you think you're doing?" She asked drawing closer to them.
"How the fuck is that your business, bitch" one of them yelled and pushed the girl away. And WTF the ground shook when she fell.
The men were walking towards hed while ahe just stood, trying to compose herelf but her eyes couldn't stop going to her.
When the guys got close, she hit one with my bat and he stumbled backward while the second one charged angrily at me, violence is never the answer but right now it is, she moved backwards and on seeing this, he thought she was afraid.
Leslie glanced at the second man and saw Mia on his back, Mia gave her a thumbs up.
She continued moving back and when her back touched the wall, he smiled and tried to cage her which was a very big mistake, cos when he did, she hit him in the forbidden area and he groaned, all she heard was FINISH HIM and she jumed on him hitting her elbow on his chest and he screamed.
She stood up and walked towards the girl who was struggling to stand up, forgetting how fat she was, Leslie lent out her hand, which she instantly regretted when she felt them falling with Leslie under and the girl on top.
