Cloudy With a
Chance of Death
[Sydney Part
II]
In
the dressing stall, I sat on the bench while my friends pranced
around in their shorts.
Those do look cute, I
thought.
I fished through
my Juicy Couture tote and eventually salvaged three $20 bills,
enough to cover the shorts.
"Hey, can someone
please go get me a pair of those shorts?" I asked, pushing a
lock of my blonde hair behind my left ear.
"I'll go
get it!" Tara offered, sprinting to the door. "What
size?"
"Two."
A snicker escaped
from Tara's lips.
My head froze in
place, but my eyes raised their gaze to her.
"What?"
Tara simpered and
shrugged. "Oh, nothing. It's just that... your size is a
2 and you're number 2 on the Hot List. How ironic."
"Why,
what size are you?" I snapped.
She leaned
over her purse and grabbed her water bottle from it. "Double
zero," she replied. While she took a sip of her water, she
eyed my Frozen Hot Chocolate, her way of subtly mocking me for
weighing a little more than her. But I took the hint.
"I'll get the shorts myself," I mumbled, scrambling
out the door with my purse in hand.
But I
sprinted past the rack of shorts. As a matter of fact, I left the
store and didn't stop running until I reached the bathroom in
Macy's. I locked myself in one of the stalls and whipped out
my Blackberry. Ryan was the only one who could make me feel
better.
Me: Hey!
Ryan: Any news on Tara?
I closed
my emerald green eyes as I felt a sharp pain in my heart.
Me: Nothing but the
fact that she's a 00
Ryan: Wow, IMPRESSIVE (:
Me: Oh. So you like skinny girls, I see?
Ryan: I like smart & beautiful girls. But skinny is
def. a plus.
A long
time ago, I promised myself that I wouldn't do it again, but
that text provoked it.
Leaning over the toilet, I
stuck my right index finger down my throat. After a coughing fit,
my Frozen Hot Chocolate and BLT from lunch reappeared.
I flushed
with a satisfied grin displayed on my face. Soon enough, Sydney
Milson would be the name in the #1 slot on the Hot List.
And
the name engraved on Ryan's
heart.
