Chapter 10
"Your late." Here sits the devil- trying to make my life worse then it is!
"...And?" I asked, calmly.
"I only care about you, Len." The woman I was talking to, my Councillor, was trying to look and sound nice, but I know by now that it's just an act, "Where were you?"
"Why should I tell you?" I snapped at her.
"Obviously not somewhere good!" She frowned, "Come, sit."
"So I'm a dog now?" I glared at Miss Councillor before taking a seat and dropping my school bag to the side of the chair.
She ignored my question, "How's your weight?"
"I've lost a few pounds." Now that was a true fact!
"Oh dear..." Miss Councillor looked worried, "How?"
"More exercise, less food." I replied bluntly. From the multiple councillors I've had, they have all told me my 'incredibly low weight' was a problem. They have all tried many different methods of getting me to eat- none worked.
"You barely eat anyway!" My councillor said, losing her cool a little, "I don't understand how nobody at school notices!"
"I ate at Rin's house!" I argued.
"Rin?" Miss Councillor raised an eyebrow, "The girl is your friend?"
"Not anymore..." I grumbled, "Why should I tell you about Rin anyway? Your only getting paid to listen."
She sighed, "I heard from Luka you got into a fight?"
"Yeah," I said, grinning evilly, "And I won!"
"You have to give up your bad habits, Len." Miss Councillor spoke calmly.
"It's okay to have a little fun..." I replied darkly, "Especially on easy targets..."
She sighed again, "You really don't care, do you Len?"
"My life is too wrong to fix." I said, "Why waste your time?"
My councillor looked at me carefully, "What happened?"
"Nothing conserning you." I replied hastily.
"Did you remember something?" She asked.
She was referring to my life before my parents died, the life I know nothing about.
"I will never remember anything," I muttered, "I don't want to."
"Hm..." Miss Councillor was thinking, "Did something happen with this Rin girl you were talking about earlier?"
"Obviously." There was vemon in everything I said, "Going to far with what I said is something."
"What did you say?" Councillor lady asked.
"That's classified." I spat.
"Well okay then." She smiled at me, "We've run out of time but I would like you to come back tomorrow!"
I grimaced, I'd already had my 3 councilling sessions this week!
"Same time as today!" She almost sang, "But please be on time, you may go!"
I stood up and grabbed my bag, I was finally free!
"Welcome home, Len!" Luka hugged me as I walked through the front door of my house, "What do you want for dinner?"
Luka always seems hopeful I will answer that question with some sort of food- but not this time.
"I'm not hungry, I had a banana smoothie at lunch!" I replied, trying to sound happy.
"Luka just tightened her grip on me.
"A banana smoothie isn't a whole days worth of food!" She said, generally caring, "If you continue like this, you'll be severely ill soon!"
I laughed, "I doubt it!"
Luka released her grip.
"I'll be doing homework in my room!" I said to her as I walked upstairs.
"Okay." I heard her say in reply to me.
It was 10 pm now and I felt so drained, my whole body was burning!
I had been trying to lift weights for an hour; but even the lightest one, which I could usually lift with ease, I ended up dropping, it was just too heavy!
Over the late few weeks I have been eating a lot less then I normally would (And I normally only eat about 400 calories each day?) - for most of the days I ate nothing. But it had never affected me before, so why should it affect me now?
I've always thought of food as a bad habit. It hardly seems to do anything good for people! It just fills in the gaps of nothingness in peoples lives...
Just thinking was giving me a migrane. I decided to sheep, in the morning I would feel better!
The next morning I felt terrible, I could barely breath in the state I was in. I sucked it up though, because Luka got incredibly worried if I ever said I was sick.
I walked to school feeling extremely light-headed and took my seat in my classroom.
After a few minutes I put my head in my hands to try and stop the pain a little, but it wasn't working.
Everytime I breathed, my body was telling me not to, that it couldn't do it...I didn't even notice Rin sit down in her seat beside me, though she wasn't on my mind at this point.
"Len?" A distant voice said, "Len?"
It sounded panicked, "Hello? Len?"
It was getting further away every second.
I could feel body heat around me.
"Is he okay?" "What should we do?" "Help!"
I managed to lift my head up, "I'm okay..."
My voice was barely audiable.
It all blacked out.
