Shy-Diapers Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 "Yeah dad. I'll listen to you and the doctor and mom." Katie said. Link to comment
Ishigreensa Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 John looked at her seriously. "Honey, get on the team or not, you worked very hard, and I know you've improved a lot from last year. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 "Geez." Katie said. Her dad was changing moods quicker than her. She sighed and nodded. She didn't feel like arguing. Link to comment
Ishigreensa Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 After Katie had said goodbye, he drove home, and that morning, they started off going down town to see about this little girl that they had called them about. TS: Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Katie sighed as she looked down at herself. Her bathing suit was too big for her because she was losing weight so much. At tryouts she performed well though she got teased a lot. If you wore baggy clothes it usually meant you were trying to hide that you were fat. That's what all the girls there assumed. She didn't want to ask her parents for a new suit because they had just gotten her one halfway into the summer. Good quality suits were expensive. They ranged anywhere from $30-$100+. She ended up crying in the bathroom stall of the changing room when everyone was gone. She looked at herself in the mirror when her dad texted her saying he was outside. He never liked her waiting in the dark which it was. Her face was red from crying but she could pass it off as from being out of breath after swimming and training. Link to comment

Shy-Diapers Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 "Fine." Katie lied. She swam her best she ever did but besides how she performed, everything was terrible. "Swimming went fine." She gripped her swim bag tight. She had put her towel in so it looked full rather than fold it to save space like usual. She didn't want her dad to know what happened. Link to comment
Ishigreensa Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 He got a vibe from him that said it was not fine. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 "We won't know until tomorrow." Katie said quietly. She doubted she'd be on the team. Link to comment
Ishigreensa Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 He sighed and decided to hold off on the news because she was in a bad mood. Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Katie yanked her hand away from her mother and ran upstairs to her room. She slammed the door hard and there her bags down in her room. She went into what used to be her toy box but now held blankets and covered up her full size mirror with a black sheet. She also opened her junk drawer and threw her handheld mirrors and compacts into it before slamming that as well. She was in no mood for news especially not that there'd be someone else living there.

Ishigreensa Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 The parents really didn't know what to do. Jessica looked up from where she was laying on her bed, and frowned. "Was that their daughter that she had just heard getting home? Link to comment
Shy-Diapers Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 After an hour Katie turned the water off. She slunk to her room and put on some pajamas and washed her hair. She wasn't angry anymore but now she was just sad and hurt. Link to comment
