The Split Dress and a Broken Crush

I was born fat.

Before prom started, everyone was asking each other to be their date.

Someone shoved me toward Nicholas Reed and shouted for us to get together.

My face turned red, and I stumbled right into the arms of my tall, handsome childhood friend.

But Nicholas shoved me hard to the floor like he had touched something filthy.

“You disgusting fat pig, don’t touch me! Gross!”

“If I didn’t feel sorry for you getting bullied, I wouldn’t even bother with you!”

The whole class laughed at me.

Austin Walker, the star quarterback on the football team, helped me up from the floor.
