Chapter 3:
*Emily was heading home after her run* As she was walking threw the park, and she ran into Lucky.
Emily,”Lucky, Hey where are you heading?”
Lucky,”I was going to see you. I got Ruby to watch Lulu.”
Emily,”So, What did you want to see me about?”
Lucky,”I wanted to see if you were ok and if you wanted to go grab something to eat.”
“Food,” she thinks, “how do I get out of the one?”
“Oh, Lucky I’m sorry, I already ate and I’m still full. You could come over to the house and on the way over there you can grab some take out at Kelly’s.” she said.
“Ok lets, go.” Lucky said.
“Good, I got out of that one.” she thinks.
*At Kelly’s*
Lucky walks over to the counter and says, “Hey Liz, can you put a rush order in for a hamburger, fries, and two pieces of chocolate cake.”
“Sure Lucky, hey are you and Emily dating?” Liz asks.
''No we're not we're just really good friends, why do you ask?'' Lucky said
''Oh I was just wondering cause if you we're, you guys and Nik and I could double date, but I guess we could all go as friends.'' Liz said.
''Well we are not dating.'' he said.
Liz thinking, ''For now.''
Liz says, ''Here's your food talk to ya later.''
*On the way back to Emily’s, she can smell Lucky’s food and she can feel her stomach growling.*
“Lucky, should we watch ‘Rain Man’?” Emily asked.
“Em, You’ve seen that movie a hundred times.” he says.
“I know I love it.” she says.
“Oh all right.” he says.
*At the Q’s*
They are in Emily’s Room sitting in bean bags watching ‘Rain Man’. Lucky has finished his burger and fries, and hands Emily a piece of cake. She looks at it then looks at him and asks,”What is this for?”
“I know how much you love cake, so I got you a piece.” he says. “Oh, um thanks.” she says. Thinking,”Crap!! I can’t eat this, I have to or Lucky will know something is up.”
She takes a fork and starts taking small bites with everyone there is a slight hesitation and she eats three-fourths of it and then says,”Lucky, I’m stuffed do you want the rest?” He takes it and continues watching the movie.
Emily thinking,”I have to get rid of this.”
Emily gets up and says,”I’ll be right back, need anything to drink?”
“A Coke would be great. Need some help?” Lucky asks.
“No, you stay here and watch the movie.” she says.
Emily walks to the other side of the house and shuts the door to the bathroom, she knows no one will be in that area of the house. She goes inside and looks at her middle and index fingers, sighs, sticks them down her throat and makes herself throw-up. This time she doesn’t cry, she gets up, washes her hands and goes the drinks and goes back to her room.
*An hour later Lucky leaves.*
Emily goes back to her room lifts up her matters and grabs her Journal, and starts writing.
Today, was the worst day of my life. I got rejected by the modeling agency. I know why they didn’t want me I’m just, ‘The fat Quartermain’. I hate my body its so big. I mean there is real problems in the world and I’ll I can think about is fat and calories. I don’t know what to do with my life anymore. I hate this.
She closes her journal slips it back under her mattress, lies down in bed and tries to sleep, but ends up laying there for an hour and a half. She gets an idea and changes and climbs out of her window.
