“Well, if you must know I was out on a date.”
They both stopped what they were doing and looked up at me.
“Ha, right. If you're meeting a guy, I am a swimsuit model in the Victoria's Secret fashion show.”
My mother laughed with my sister.
“Well, you better believe it because it's the truth.”
I say with confidence in my voice,
“Now Lillian do not lie to us, if you were out binge eating again just say so,”
And there it is. My weight has always been the center of attention for them, they even got my grandparents and my mother’s whole side to try and get me to lose this weight by either paying me every time I lost a pound or by simply feeding me less.
But nothing was working mainly because of my PCOS which we had discovered I had about a year after my father had passed away. Another thing my mother couldn’t be bothered with. I rolled my eyes and walked away.
“Hey, come back here Lillian!”
I hear my mother yell from the kitchen, but I ignore her. I grab my bag and head for the door. I walked out and got into my car.
“Lillian Han get back here right-”
She didn’t finish her sentence, even if she did, I wouldn't know because I drove as fast as I could away from that hell hole.

“Lilly!”
I hear Liz call me, I look over and see my two best friends waving at me. I walk over to them and set my laptop down.
“Hey guys,”
I say, as I try to avoid Mary staring daggers at me. I know it’s coming, I know she wants to ask me millions of questions but I’m not sure I am ready for that. I sigh and look at her finally.
“So, tell us everything.”
She says, I roll my eyes and tell her,
“There isn’t much to say, we went for a ride, and then uh well some things happened that led to him kissing me...”
I hope this will satisfy her but knowing Mary this is far from over.
“Well, does he have any cute friends?”
Liz nudges her and I can’t help but laugh.
“If he does I’ll put in a good word for y'all.”
We all giggle and I continue my homework as they continue to ask me questions. Suddenly my phone went off.
You look so hot when you are studying.
I looked around. Who was this and how did they get my number?
Who are you?
Suddenly I feel someone staring at me, I look around again and yet still see no one.
