My POV

Lucy wakes up and gets dressed in a T-shirt and some baggy blue jeans. She gets into the car and then her mother drives her to school. She gets out of the car and all the kids start laughing at her.

~At recess~

Lucy was playing in the sandbox. Then lisanna and Angel come over to her and she looks up at them. " Hey cow " Lisanna said. " Lisanna don't call her that! " Angel said. " You'll insult the cows and make them cry! " She said. The two girls laugh and walk away. Lucy looks at the two confused and she goes back to playing in the sandbox.

~In Class~

Lucy sits in her seat. " You sure you can fit there? Your kinda big! " Cobra said and the whole class bursts in laughter. Lucy blushed from embarrassment. The teacher sighed and gets on with the lesson. " Kids these days... " He said while shaking his head.

~At Lunch~

Lucy sits on the swing and eats her sandwiches. Then she drunks her juice. She still has two bags of chips left. Lisanna comes over to her and snatched them up. " H-hey give it back to me! " Lucy said. " Oh c'mon, it's not like you need them! Your already too fat. Maybe 2 less bags of chips can help. " She said. " Or not " Angel shrugged the two girls walk away and giggle while eating Lucy's chips that she brought. Lucy looked down in sadness. She kicks a but of the mulch that was underneath her feet.

~After School~

Lucy gets home. She is hesitant to ask her mother the question that's been on her mind since Lunch time. She finally builds up the courage to ask her. " Hey mom! " She said. Layla looks down at her. " Teach me how to be skinny " She said. " Lucy, did someone at school say something-- " She was saying but Lucy cut her off. " No! I just wanna be skinny like you. Because your really pretty. All the people say that when they see you. But they don't say that to me. Only to you because your really pretty and also skinny. But I'm ugly and really fat. So they won't call me pretty because they don't wanna lie to me. They don't like me because I'm fat and still just a kid. So I want you to teach me how to be skinny so kids will hang out with me, and so people will call me pretty and I will be happy " She said. A tear came out of Layla's eye. She hugged Lucy tightly. " Lucy, you don't have to listen to what others say. You are you. And you are perfect. So don't try to change for others " Layla said. " I'm not. " Lucy said. " Huh? " Layla asked. " I want to be called pretty. So then I can be happy, and a mile like you do when they call you pretty. And then I can be friends with people and they will also like me too " She said. " O.. Okay. I will 'teach you how to be pretty' Layla said. Lucy, got excited. " Yay!!! " She exclaimed.
