They were wabbling with their hands stretched to the side and they had blown out their face, walking past me while making funny noises throwing shade at me. Was I even that fat? I mean growing up I had always known that I was bigger than my peers but when I became a teen my body started to be kinder to me and developed really well. I was curvy and yeah I had some belly rolls but they were not that big or visible.
I sighed because I'm just trying to make myself feel better. Ever since this torture started three years ago, my self esteem has been chipped at little by little. I looked at them and waited for them to finish their show. It was our senior year in college and after this I never have to see this prick and his best friend plus their minions who don't even actually like this but they are trying to kiss ass so they do anything and everything.
"You seem rather unbothered, should I push more?" He didn't seem to be having fun with my reaction.
If my best friend was here I would turn to her for moral support but she was not here. She chose to be in love with a professor and now she's home enjoying time with her boyfriend.
"I don't see any tears…." He got his face close to mine as possible.
"Have you become immune to my charms?" he smirked and ran his index finger under my chin from all the way back to the throat to the front.
"You're breaking my heart." The amusement sparkle in his eyes dimmed a little.
I took a deep breath in and refused to breath out, I held my breath and he would have backed away but he seemed to have noticed what I did so he waited to see how long I can hold my breath. He stayed near my face with his and looked me straight in my eyes.
I knew this was a challenge so I didn't dear breath which was foolish really because it didn't matter what I did Eric will always have the upper hand. My face started getting red and I think that's what had him smiling wickedly, I blinked rapidly trying to trick my mind into not thinking about our current situation but my mind seemed rather too focused on that fact. My chest suddenly felt hot and stuffy and I was getting lightheaded by the second, but I wasn't breathing.
I blacked out for a few seconds, lost balance and almost fell to the floor. Eric took a step backward getting out of my way so I can fall freely. But before I could make it to the floor my curve got stuck on the way to sliding down.
"The extra padding really helped you out there." Eric's entourage burst out in laughter.
"I was wondering what you need all that fat but it turns out that it can rescue you?" was that a question? His best friend was even the most annoying because he was dumb and still chose to become a bully.
"Why did you fall though?" Mia asked, she was the girl in the group who thought she could date Eric and she definitely couldn't live without his attention.
"I bet it's the hunger!" Eric found himself hilarious and laughed at his own joke.
"What?" Mia threw a look at me, "You didn't eat breakfast?" her red lips curled up devilishly.
"No way!" Eric yelled in disagreement.
"Her family knows much better than to deny her food or else she will eat them." Ken who is the best friend to this jerk dabbed him up and they laughed loudly.
I suddenly stood up with full strength and they all whipped their heads to my direction.
"I told you to never talk about my family!" I exclaimed through my gritted teeth.
Eric widened his eyes mockingly, then he put his hands in a prayer like position.
"I really am sorry." He sounded sincere but I knew that was crap.
"Are you really apologizing to her?" Ken turned to him rather surprised.
"Yeah and you all should too." It sounded like he was commanding them but the tone was too playful.
"Why?" Mia looked unimpressed with a mean look to my direction.
"Or she might eat us…" he couldn't even finish that sentence without a snicker and all his friends laughed.
I rubbed my temple as I could feel the headache coming, Eric noticed and said, "you're having a headache, it must be the hunger." He sounded concerned but the mocking tone laced in that sentence was as clear as a bell.
He put his hand around my shoulder and pulled me to himself, "let's go find food for you, you hippo." He then started dragging me.
I so wanted to scream and beat the hell out of him but I couldn't because this jerk was the son of the most richest man in the country and I don't even want to imagine what he would do to me if I laid a hand on his precious son. This prick had a football career here at the college and he was the star but then his rival from another team injured his knee badly. Long story short the rival was never heard of ever again, like he never existed nor his family. I wasn't rich and my family is doing all they can to get me through college. My dad works very hard and he is already old but he works hard to get me through college and my big brother also works hard to make sure that at least we go to bed with a full stomach and all they asked from me was that I don't make trouble and I graduate.
I'm really not that intelligent so I couldn't even get a scholarship, neither am I athletic so I have to spend all my time studying to at least get good marks.
I was looking at this giant plate that carried heart attack and cholesterol delivered as food. What was I expecting from Eric and his friends, just because I'm big they believe that I eat very unhealthy.
"I'm going home." I tried to stand from the table but Eric grabbed my hand and yanked me right back down.
"Why are you being ungrateful?" His tone was no longer mocking but rather serious and his face had turned a little dark.
"I buy you a second breakfast…" Ken stifled a laugh and I looked at his direction. Eric grabbed me from under my chin and turned me to look at him again. His face had not changed except the darkness had grown.
"You will not waste my money! You will eat everything on that plate and enjoy it!" I was scared.
I swallowed a lump that had built in my throat and faced the food. A tear dropped and then I started eating. I wasn't going to rush through the junk food and fill my mouth and even forget to chew right and suddenly I'm choking. I slowly ate the food and because he said to enjoy it I drew a smile on my face and continued to eat.
His friends took out their phones and started recording while he watched, "come on give us a good show." One commented.
"I'm going to make you a star!" another one yelled from the side.
"A real Muk banger huh?" The twins of the group nodded their heads along.
After eating the entire junk, my whole body felt like it was in pain. My stomach was not handling the food well and it wanted to eject the food the same way the food came in but I couldn't vomit right now as Eric and his friends were still amusing themselves with my misery. I closed my eyes and started humming because it helps with keeping the food down.
"Let's go guys." He rounded his idiots. "I was expecting a thank you but looks like when she's full she's no fun." Then they walked away.
As soon as they stepped outside of that restaurant, I quickly ran to the bathroom and I threw up immediately. As I was throwing up all my guts, I didn't have time to tie my hair up so I was trying to get it out of the way.
Suddenly warm hands gathered all my hair and held it in a ponytail for me. I hurled a little more before I could take a good look at whoever this person was, as I was hurling this person was rubbing my back up and down trying to comfort me. It felt good and I wanted to know who was this good Samaritan? I was able to get a break from all the puking and then I looked back at who was comforting me. Our eyes met and his eyes seemed soft and comforting but then I couldn't hold myself back from puking all over his shoes when I realized who those comforting eyes belonged to.
Eric?
