F.A.T

Chapter 1- How it started

"One lemonade and one large pretzel, with extra cheese please." I felt a little guilty for getting the cheese but I mean c'mon who eats pretzels without cheese? I paid for my snack and sat myself in a booth. It had literally been thirty minutes and I was still waiting on her. Sam was never really the type to be on time. She's my best friend but I know I can never rely on her to arrive when she's supposed to. I finally looked up from my phone and saw her walking hand and hand with her girlfriend, Anna. they were hands down the cutest couple I'd ever laid my eyes on. I wanted that so bad. I wanted someone to look at me the way Anna looked at Sam.

I smiled at the two lovebirds and almost stood up to greet them when I noticed another gentleman walking beside Anna. he was gorgeous. When I say gorgeous I mean I've never seen anything so angelic in my life. Not even Zac Efron could compare to those eyes.

Looking back, I still can't believe everything that happened since that day.

I immediately sank back down into the booth thinking, "no way is he going to see me, he'll be disgusted." I obviously didn't think that plan through because I would eventually have to stand up. As they got closer I became nervous for some reason, I didn't even know him. I already knew he would never go for a girl like me. His lean muscular build told me that from the beginning. Fit guys don't like fat girls.

"Avery! Sorry I'm so late, I was waiting on this one to finish putting all that shit on her face. I keep telling her and you both that ya'll look fine without it." Sam is a firm believer in natural beauty, a big reason why shes my best friend. But I don't wear makeup because I don't think my face is pretty, I wear it for my own self confidence really. "Of course you blame Anna for being late, what would be the excuse every other time?" I teased. "ha ha very funny," she rolled her eyes. "ooh what are you eating? that smells amazing!"

I completely forgot about the pretzel. "Oh you can have it." I push it towards the other side of the table as she sits down to dig into it. it seemed that Sam and Anna both could just eat whatever they wanted whenever they wanted and stayed so thin. I could eat a bowl of lettuce and still gain weight, they were just lucky I guess. I was always self conscious about eating in front of people. It took me a year to be comfortable with Sam, and now that blondie over there joined them I was definitely not eating in front of him.

"Oh I completely forgot!" Anna exclaimed. "This is my brother, Niall. His friends bailed on him today so I said he could join us. I hope that's okay?" I noticed Niall picking at his fingers before looking up and shooting me an award winning smile.

Holy shit is this guy even real?

My thoughts were interrupted by the sweet sound of his voice. "Thanks for making me sound lame sis." He laughed. Oh god that laugh, was there anything wrong with this guy?

I'm obsessed.

"Oh no It's totally fine, I get it. I'm Avery." I flashed him a small smile, trying to avoid eye contact. Out of nowhere my stomach released the loudest growl I'd ever heard. Oh God. my cheeks instantly turned a deep shade of red and Sam almost choked on the pretzel laughing. "Avery do you want something to eat? I was going to get myself something anyway I'm starving." Niall was the sweetest kid. If only he saw my body, he wouldn't offer me food. "No, thank you. I'm not hungry." He gave me a strange look. I mean who wouldn't obviously I'm starving I hadn't eaten all day but I wasn't about to let him see me stuff my face. "Are you sure it kind of sounded like it? i really don't mind.." I really didn't know what to say at this point.

"I- um- uh-I-I-well-I"

Jesus Avery use your words

I saw Sam look over at me and she realized what was going on. "It's cool Niall, she doesn't want any, chill."

I silently thanked her with a quick glance. Niall just shrugged his shoulders and walked towards the food court. I put my head in my hands and listened to Sam tell me that it was no big deal and I was fine.

But all I could think was, "He thinks I'm a freak. I'm not a freak, I'm just fat."
