When I was in 6th grade, I was of course the "fat girl." Life became almost unbearable when my mom went back to work and I had to start riding the bus to school. The bus for a fat girl is more like a torture chamber of emotional hurt, not physical. I can still remember TK.....he was the rich, popular kid that everyone thought was hilarious. It was his personal endeavour to make my life hell. Every day I would quietly take his harrassments, usually just pretending I didn't hear him, and hoping the redness of my face wasn't apparent to everyone on the bus. One day in particular was the worst. It must have been an important day because I had on my light brown corduroy jacket and plaid skirt. Unfortunately, the skirt had hundreds of pleats in it only making me look bigger. I had my backpack in one hand and my violin in the other. TK was on the bus and said in a sincere way, " I'm sorry for being so mean." He held out a red rose. I thought for a second there must be a catch, but he wasn't laughing and no one else was....so I reached out and took it. As soon as I did, he snatched the rose away and pushed me with his other hand. I lost my balance and went backwards landing on several people sitting on the back seat of the bus. I was mortified, but life went on. I searched the web from time to time trying to find my TK. Hoping he had grown up to have a horrible life, but unfortunately I came across a picture of him standing beside his private airplane, looking just as great as ever. It didn't have any personal information about what he did for a living, but I am convinced I know!!!! He is the creator of the newest weight loss pill called "ALLI" Check out the side effects:
Gas with an oily anal discharge
Loose stools or diarrhea
More frequent bowel movements
Hard-to-control bowel movements
I can just see him now offering not a rose but a "magic pill" and just as the "fat girl" falls for it....once again the jokes on her. Some bullies never change.
