Sugar Sweet :: Papers

Sugar Sweet The sugar pulsed finished her blood. She took another bite. The smooth, sweet chocolate fused into her body removing the pain. She could feel their stares. Burning through her as she ate. She seized the remainder of the chocolate and walked out. It was intolerable. Every time she ate she could feel those around her wishing to throw up. She could feel their whispers of disgust. As she was leaving the food courtroom she felt a tap on her shoulder. She spun around, preparing herself for another snide remark about her size. What? she snapped. You forgot this the girl replied, her tight jeans accentuating her flawless figure. The girl handed the leaflet to her. Looks alike(p) you might need it With a snort of laughter she left and returned to her friends. She ran through the rest of the shopping centre. Past the countless shops, pictures of stick figure models stuck to their windows. Sitting below the stairs on the station she extracted th e remnants of a family block of chocolate from her bag. She flicked through the leaflet Lose weight now. She had never seen it out front. She began sobbing. The train pulled out of the station. She remained school term hidden under the steps. Consumed by distress the tall figure that slid up next to her went unnoticed. He lit a cigarette causing her to jump. Whats the problem, babe? he said offering her a cigarette. No thanks I dont smoke she muttered, wiping away the tears. Suddenly conscious of her size she folder her arms across her stomach. Hey Ive seen you before she sniffed, Youre Dads apprentice Yeah, thats me. Look, do you want a lift somewhere? Face flushed, crying, she unlocked the front door and ran upstairs to her bedroom. She shouldnt have done it. His sweet hoodwink had left her trapped in a car while he tried to come closer. Give it ago, come on I promise it wont distress. He had thrust two pills into her mouth.
