Sam's POV:
I follow Colby upstairs to his room and the entire way up I was freaking out. Did he know I like Kinsley? Or is it something else? I tried to reassure myself that everything was going to be fine. We got to his room and he shut the door.
"What's up Colby?" I said, clearly terrified.
"Sam, I need to tell you something. But promise me that you won't look at me any differently okay?"
"Uhm, okay?" I was really confused at this point.
"Sam," He got nervous, "I'm gay."
"That's it?" I was surprised but I was expecting it to be worse. "I mean I'm happy for you but I was expecting it to be wayyyyyyyy worse."
Colby laughed, "You don't care?"
"No!" I said. I really didn't.
We finished our conversation and went downstairs to eat dinner. We get down there to eat dinner when I notice that Kinsley isn't down there.
"Where's Kinsley?" I asked
"She said she's not hungry" Mrs. Brock replied.
"Do you mind if I go check on her?" I asked
"Not at all!" She answered.
I head upstairs.
Kinsley's POV:
When mom finished making dinner I told her I wasn't hungry and went upstairs. I really just didn't want to eat because of how Taylor has been towards me. She started tweeting pictures of me from the gym locker room for the whole school to see. She called me fat, ugly, stupid, and the list goes on and on. I guess now that her and Colby aren't together anymore she doesn't want to hide the way she is towards me. So I decided not to eat tonight, even though I haven't ate all day. It doesn't effect me though I have been doing this for years but nobody knows because if I do eat I throw it all up after. It's not like I like it its just something I have gotten used to since the bullying started. I have lost a ton of weight since then but I'm still getting bullied. I have been sitting in my bed crying because of these tweets but I don't care. Then I hear footsteps and a knock on my door. And then Sam enters my room without me answering at all.
"Kinsley? What's wrong?" Sam asked very concerned.
I just handed him my phone with the tweets pulled up. He sighs and pulls me in for a hug.
"I know you haven't ate today." He says. I shoot my head up with a "how did you know that" look on my face. "Ever since you told me about Taylor I've been watching you. You didn't eat breakfast before school, didn't eat lunch, and now you're not eating dinner."
"How did you know I didn't eat breakfast?"
"I had a little help from Colby. I didn't tell him anything I just asked him if you ate breakfast."
"Oh..."
"Come downstairs and eat dinner. You don't have to eat a lot just come and eat something. Your mom made your favorite." He pays attention? It sounds like it.
"Fine." I get up and wash my face and go downstairs and eat dinner with my family.
After dinner Sam followed me to my bedroom with a glass of water and sat with me until I fell asleep. I wonder if he likes me back. I hope he does. I thought to myself as I drifted off into a deep sleep.
