My Story: Kelly

Chapter 15

Kimberly Williams 1993
October ~

'Where's Kelly?' Mya asked as we were getting into my car 'I thought she was coming with us?'

'She was supposed to but she had to look after Kayla, it's something about her throwing up or something' I explained to her

'AYE YO! TURN IT UP!!' Jasmine shouted as soon as That's the way love goes by Janet Jackson came on

'Yo this is my shit!' I said to myself turning up the volume

'COME WITH ME, DON'T YOU WORRY
I'M GONNA MAKE YOU CRAZY
I'LL GIVE YOU THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE
I'M GONNA TAKE YOU PLACES
YOU'VE NEVER BEEN BEFORE AND
YOU'LL BE SO HAPPY THAT YOU CAME
OOH, I'M GONNA TAKE YOU THERE, OOOH!' We belted out the verse not caring if anyone heard us

........

'Ohhhhh what do you think of this?' Ashley held out a red dress over her figure

'That looks so nice, you should try it on' I told her

Not going to lie, this shop didn't really have anything I liked. It's too much like Ashley's style.......like what a spoilt bitch would wear......not saying she's a bitch because she's my girl but she is very spoilt.

'You gon' get anything to wear?' Mya asked me as we waited for Ashley to try her dress

'Nah, I've got stuff at home' I told her 'I might get something for Kelly instead of going with her another day for the party'

'To be honest with you, I never knew the boys were going to invite Kelly since they don't really know her' Ashley peeked her head out of the curtains

'Are you joking me, Nick is soo into her' I said

'Why do you think he invited her then?' Jasmine asked the obvious questions which didn't sit quite well with me

'What do you mean by that?' I asked Jasmine

'You know what's he's like......'

'Jasmine.....' Mya tried to stop her from talking

'I know he's the playa type but he genuinely likes the girl' I said 'Even Dylan has told me that he does and it's not often he tells me that Nick actually fancies a girl'

'But that's only because she's your sister though' Jasmine said

Like, what is her problem?

I was going to respond to Jasmine but Ashley opened her mouth 'So that means Kelly is not interested in DeVante anymore?' She overheard our conversation

'Well I'm not sure, she probably doesn't' I said

I know for a fact that Kelly hasn't gotten over DeVante. She has these little hints that I see that tells me she still likes him and I know it's very hard for her to see someone she really loved with another girl......especially when she's sees them every single weekday.

'Okay then, because I don't want to cause any drama with her, because she seems like a really nice person' she said

Wait what?.......Kelly told me.........well that was time ago.......

'Erm Ashley, are you ready as yet?' Mya asked

'Yeah, just give me a minute' Ashley responded

Kayla Watts 1993
October ~

'Obesity can cause high blood pressure, high cholesterol and atherosclerosis' The teacher pointed out

'I wonder if Kayla suffers from any of those symptoms?' One said

'Shut up Dani!' One giggled 'she might hear you'

'So If She does, what is she gonna do flatten us out?' She laughed

'Can she even get up from her seat without huffing and puffing just to hurt us?'

'Probably not, a lack of exercise......another reason for obesity' she laughed

'Girls is there anything you would like to share with the whole class?' The teacher stopped them from continuing any further

'No Mrs' she responded

'And I rest my case' I turned around to face her 'what are you staring at fatty' she uttered though her lips

And the things I go through everyday at school, is it really necessary?

It only gets worse when I have to hear it from my parents. When they compare me to my older sister Jessie when she visits us from Uni 'Oh she gets more youthful each time we see her........look at your skin, it's glowing nicely........look how healthy you look'. They feel like they have the audacity to come and tell me, 'you should be more like your sister'........how can I be more like her when they constantly shame me, They should tell me to be myself 'ohh you shouldn't be eating that.......is that good for your health' They make it seem as if I'm the biggest person on the planet.

Like I do try to help myself by doing a little bit of exercise but then I become sick and tired of it as I'm not doing it for myself, I'm doing it to please others.

I would always look into magazines for health tips and then the models would be looking their best as I start to feel like shit.

Is it a punishment........why couldn't I be like everybody else, slim......all eyes on me.......I can be invited to places.......all the boys want me........my parents can be proud of me for once.

Like I barley eat, reasons why I throw up mostly everyday, and I'm still this size........

.........

A little POV from Kayla, I want you readers to get to know her a little bit more as she's going through things as well.
