CHAPTER 16. Mom's on my neck.

  Just that morning, Elsa had to listen to her moan once again about the bad stuff inside pancakes.

  What her mother didn’t know was that Elsa was trying out lower fat versions of the recipes. She’d found a really cool food blog online, and had started to be inspired. Nothing she did was ever good enough for her.

  Her cell phone pinged, and she crawled off the bed to the floor to see who it was.

  Noah: U seemed sad today. Want to talk about it?

  Elsa: No.

  It was only Thursday night. She’d have to see him tomorrow and Saturday.

  For the first time since she started her new healthier regime, she didn’t want to go.

  Noah: Come on. I’m your motivator, your hot little body builder. Talk to me.

  Elsa: Can’t. I’m with Kim. Talk to you later.

  She turned her phone to silent, and smiled at Kim as she came out.

  “Don’t let your mom get you down. She does love you.” Kim sat beside her.
