Gagg #1

She walked through the tall cold iron gates of her high school. Down the chipped concrete steps, pasted the brick orange buildings towards the cola where she met her friends. Every single one of them turned to face her, staring her up and down. She tried to imagine what they were thinking, but all that came to her was "fat". She set her bag down at the silver table filled with girls. Headed towards the girls bathroom she passed a teacher, he looked at her in horror. When she reached the toilets she checked to make sure each cubical was empty. She chose the very end toilet and locked herself in. The graphiti on the cubical walls made her feel dirty. She put her right hand into her mouth and began thrusting and gagging until finally she threw up. There was a knock on the door, "Sam, are you okay?" said the voice. Sam coughed, "Yeah I'm fine". Sam flushed the toilet and emerged to find her best friend Cali standing at the sink with a worried look on her face. "I'm really fine, Cali. What's up?" Sam reassured her best friend. "It's just that... some of the girls are concerned about you" said Cali. "What, why would they be? I'm perfectly fine" Sam asked in a guilty manner. Cali didn't say another word, she turned around and walked out. Sam washed her hands and her mouth out to get rid of the smell. She looked at herself in the mirror. To her she could see rolls of fat along her neck line, she had thunder thighs, no ankles, and she was a fridge. But in reality, everytime she walked, bone would show through her skin.

Her hair was thinned out and falling out. Her front teeth were stained yellow and chipped. Both of her hands had grazes lining the knuckles. Her cheek bones stood out to the core. Her legs and arms were dangerously thin. Yet, despite all of this obvious tragedy, nobody had done a thing to try and stop it. She was dying. Her blue eye-circles and pale skin make that only half obvious, the rest was clear itself.

She led a common life, like a common person would commonly do. If it weren't for that one day when her brother said she was fat, and she just happened to be reading a magazine that said "models stay thin my throwing up", she may not have come to the result of turning into a bulimic wreck. She went on the internet to get guides on how to do it. She gradually started getting into throwing up after every second meal, then it turned into every meal. As soon as she realized that she was rapidly losing weight, she kept doing it. She stopped eating altogether at one point, but her parents were too suspicious. She only ever received a compliment for her cheekbones standing out more. But soon those stopped. The bulimia stopped for a while too, only because she started throwing up blood. But as soon as she gained a kilo, it was back to her bulimic ways.

Bulimia is a mind disorder and it takes over your mind. Well this took over Sam's mind, it down to even looking at food and she'd go and throw up. She knew what was happening, but she didn't want to stop. Others started to notice the rapid weight loss, but they thought she was just growing or losing baby fat.
