Confidently Chubby

COVID-19 over the summer break. Sue Lee

reluctantly walked to class wishing and praying the

day would pass as fast as lightning.

“Chubs! Looks like you gained an additional fifty

pounds!” Tim exclaimed.

Tim was a boy with dwarf features.

“Your mother couldn’t buy you a new uniform,

Chubs!” shouted big mouth Daisy from across the
classroom.

Daisy was always loud; you would often hear her

before you could see her. As the entire class

bellowed with laugher, Sue Lee wished the ground

could have opened up and taken her in.

“Why do they dedicate so much time to make me
feel miserable?” Sue Lee mumbled under her

breath. It’s not my fault I’m this fat. I hardly ever eat

anything; sometimes I don’t even look at food

because I’m scared I’ll get fat by just looking at it,”

Sue Lee thought to herself.
