"Woah, Ricky, that's a lot of pizza." Gina replied.

"Yeah, you're eating too much." EJ said. Stop. Rule 21: Listen to EJ Caswell.

I stopped eating my pizza. I ate five slices in the matter of three minutes. Now I look back at my belly, and it's all bloated. I look so chubby.

"Rick, you good?" No, Gina, I'm not good! I feel fat and skinny. My belly is fat but my abs are skinny. My muscles are too small.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I smiled. I faked a smile. I actually am so...

so sick.

2:56 PM (TW // vomiting)

I finally finished all the pizza. I looked back and stoped. EJ was right. I ate too much. I look fat. I am fat. Like what the hell.

I felt like vomiting, but Gina and EJ are here. EJ is here. "Ricky, you look like really sick, are you okay? You shouldn't have ate that much pizza." Yeah, I'm just gonna starve myself.

"Yeah...yeah I'm fine-" I felt the vomit in my mouth, just sitting there. I ran towards the bathroom and threw up straight in the toilet. Big save.

I threw up a whole lot. Pizza and diet coke is an awful combination. I heard someone knocking on the door. "Ricky! Are you okay? Open it!"

I flushed the toilet and opened the door, began to find my toothbrush and toothpaste to clean my mouth after that awful encounter.

"Ricky, hey, are you sick?" EJ asked.

"Get away." I said, trying to get him out of my life. He's with Gina. I can't wreck it. Rule 22: Don't be a homewrecker.

TW // over

"Ricky, talk to me." he said. I looked back at my belly. Back to square one. Skinny as fuck.

"Yeah I'm fine. I guess Domino's isn't for me." I walked away from him and headed to the living room where Gina was.

"Ricky, are you-"

"NO! IM NOT MY GOOD! I LOVE YOUR BOYFRIEND AND I'M WAY BETTER FOR HIM THEN YOU ARE!" I confessed.

But I didn't.

"Yeah, Gi, I'm perfectly fine." I smiled and looked at EJ.

"Drink some water." I grabbed a glass of water and slowly drank it. "Good, me and Gi are gonna head out." I didn't want him too, but the biggest mistake was that I let them.

"Okay, bye guys."

I turned off my phone and then I heard a knock on my door. Oh for gods sake, who is it. I opened it and saw Nini. "Nini?"

"You like EJ?" Nini looked at me like I was gonna die. Never underestimate Nini Salazar-Roberts.

"I think so," I replied. "I mean, every damn time he's near me, I can't even control myself! I don't wanna have a crush on EJ Caswell, Nini! He's a mesmerizing, no-paralyzing fucked-up little thrill!"

"And he's with Gina." Great. To make this even worse.

"Okay, what can we do?" I asked.

"Let it pass by, this is probably just a small feeling." Oh but it wasn't

It wasn't.

On top of this, I feel skinny as fuck.

Feels like my skin doesn't fit right over my bones.
