Just Another High School Story!

She washed her face, and her worry free life was over, she saw that her body looked awfully fat and she didn't like any of the outfits she put on, at last she put on an oversized hoodie, she wanted to wail like a baby but today was the first day of her big responsibility and she could not be careful enough, so she got out of her house in a hurry, and didn't eat breakfast, skipping breakfast felt more natural to her than eating it, but that was about to change. Ethan was waiting outside her house, looking fresh as a cucumber and all the pain of his back seemed to have vanished, "How did you...?" Leah was baffled, "Did you go home and come back for me?" "Don't flatter yourself, the kid that works at the Starbucks nearby knows me, he lent me a shirt and I, honestly don't care, let's have food first." "Umm, I..." she was trying to come up with a believable excuse but he said, "You know I read something interesting recently." And he started to walk after he took her bag, she couldn't process what was happening, what was this kindness of Ethan, she'd always only relied on herself, when she got burnt, she cried, and healed on her own, when she was having crazy thoughts, she dissuaded them on her own, when her bag was heavy, she carried into her own, she was independent, and self-reliant, what was happening, not only was this guy carrying her load, he was tiring himself to do it. Leah felt pleased but she refused to admit it, even to herself, and so she furiously walked ahead and grabbed her bag, "Are you trying to exercise without me?" she asked playfully, and walked forward with enthusiasm. "What did you read?" she asked as he caught up, he handed her milk, "Sugar free." he assured with a smile, he wanted to start slow, forcing her to eat too much would gain the opposite results, "The study said that people who skip breakfast get fat." After he said this, the look on Leah's face changed. "What the hell is that supposed to mean?" she asked, her voice evidently louder, alarmed, "Oops, she's mad!" E thought to himself and quickly controlled the situation, "I have a friend who works in fitness centres and with people trying to get in shape, he was telling me about how important having regular meals is, and I mean then I read a study that said, starving achieves opposite results for people trying to slim down." "Ethan, what the hell are you talking about all of a sudden?" she asked, still furious, talking about food wasn't nice for her at all, she wanted to stop eating altogether if she could, but she could not afford death right now, so she kept going, Ethan realised that he might have been a little too quick, after all, you can't change your habits in one night.

He felt that her ever speaking to him was a big favour, he knew that he had wronged her, and he wanted to say sorry but felt too scared. At first, he wished for ignorance, he thought that she might not remember what he had done to her, or would've forgotten it, but he woke up from this dream with cold sweat on his forehead as he knew that she was a ridiculously meticulous person, she would tell you about a memory that was 12 years old and every detail would pan out. How could such a person forget something that happened two years ago. Impossible.

They got to school together and were greeted by a commotion, "Head boy and Head girl, would you mind telling us what's wrong with this?" Some middle school kids ran up to them, someone had broken school property, there was a board that hung on the wall of the building, it beheld the names and photos of the prefects, and Head boy and Head girl for that year, what was up with the board? Good question. What had happened was that Mindy had paid people to scratch Leah's face on the photo was distorted, her face convulsed and it looked terrifying, of course the photo could be replaced, that didn't matter, what mattered was that someone was against her as Head Girl of the school, what was she supposed to do now?

Would she fall before making the change, she had bragged about?

What will she do, if everything crumbles before her?
