I've known him the longest. We've been friends since middle school. I met him on GrowTopia; we used to play together every day after school. I lived in Kentucky at the time, but then my family had a sudden move to Virginia after my mom died of cancer.
It could only be described as fate that we'd move right next to James.

The day I saw him in person was the day that changed my life forever.

James used to talk to me every day. He'd come over with his laptop, and we'd spend hours together watching Naruto.
But then it all changed.

James got into a fight with some girl. He didn't really talk to me about it.

He spent less time with me. He just sat and stared for days.

She's "anorexic".

I don't really get it; she's not even that skinny.

But now I know what it's like.

Wake up, eat breakfast.
Puke.
That's my routine.

Ever since last month.

I heard James and his friends playing "would you rather". It went something like this:

Dillan: "Would you rather kiss Aimee on the cheek or make out with a bag of rotten fish?"

James: "Oh man definitely the bag of fish bro"

Aaron: "Yea haha I'd rather fu..."

I didn't hear anything else after that.
I had tears streaming down my face.
Blood dripping from my thigh.
I hid in a bathroom stall til school let out.

But despite his hatred for me, I still long for James.
I just want him to see me.
To notice me.
See me as something better than a bag of fish.
Better than a pig.
Better.

My pants are saggy.

My bracelets jingle when I walk.

I can almost reach my fingers around my arm, just a few millimeters off.

On the bus, Victoria sat beside me.
She had her earbuds in, but I could hear "My Immortal" screeching through.

"Hey can you turn that down?" I asked.

"What?"

"Turn your music down."

"What?"

Usless.
The bus slowed. We were at the end of 31st street.

Noah's house.

"Tori, she's getting on", I giggled in excitement.

Noah slowly crawled up the stairs and walked down the row.
Everyone stared.

She sat down in a seat, only covering a fifth of it with her small frame.

"Hey fatty, leave some room for the rest of us!" I screamed.

I hate this girl. She ruined me and James.

Yahoo tells me I should be sympathetic to other Anas, but she is an expectation.
