As I walk into my school, i watch as my best friend Aiden watched the popular girl Maya Jane. She has blonde hair and beautiful green eyes, she's skinny and perfect.

"Ella!, are you even paying attention to what im saying!?" Aiden says. "Sorry I zoned out for a second, what's up?" I ask him. "I was saying that you know, maybe its time for you to start going to the gym with me" he says with a disgusted look.

"Oh, yeah I can" I say as I feel my heart break into small pieces.

Over the weeks me and Aiden vist the gym, my body has never been more sore, its like I got ran over. And every time I ask if he wants to take a break he says no.

I start to notice changes in my body, my wasit got smaller. Ever since I started going to the gym I notice boys stare at me more, I started getting uncomfortable with all of the looks, and jealous looks girls and guys give me.

I walk into school with my low rise jeans on and a blue crop top, with my furry boots on and my hair in two dutch braids with my edges done. "hey Ella, you look good today" Aiden says as his eyes roam my body I start to feel something weird in my chest its like something heavy is weighing me down, I stare at him with dull eyes and he gives me a smile then grabs my hand. "do you maybe want to go on a date with me?" Aiden asks as he stares into my eyes, my throat goes dry and my eye lids get heavy "like an actual date?" I ask him as my hand go into the pockets of my jacket. "of course silly" he says as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. I nod lightly "okay, where are we going to go?" I ask him as we walk past Maya Jane, not even glancing at her once. "I was thinking the park?" he asks "okay sure that sounds fun" I tell him as we enter the history class. "so when do you want to go, on this date I mean" I say, "after school today?" he asks his eyes lingering on my body.

Later that day after school, Me and Aiden walk hand in hand to the park.

I notice the way he keeps staring at my body, and then I turn to look at him. "why do you keep staring at me" I snap. "oh I was just thinking of pretty you are..you should be my girlfriend" he says with a smirk.

I stare at him, I feel my throat run dry again, and my body feels numb, my chest is heavy and I feel like I want to hurt him, im angry I think to myself. "you think I would want to date you!?" I shout. I watch his face as he furrows his eyebrows. "I mean you agreed to the date, why are you even getting mad" he asks "because you have done literally nothing but body shame me, my entire life!" I say finally snapping. "I just wanted you to look perfect so I could finally start dating you" he says as he puts his hand onto my thigh, "I want to be complete, not perfect" I tell him as I shove his hand off.
