Fine: Part 1

This was a dream I had. I woke up at midnight and wrote it down imediatly. This is what goes down in my subconcious...

“I’ll be fine.” She protested as she crossed her arms. “I don’t want anything, it’s okay.”

“I don’t believe you.” He answered and crossed his arms as well. “Please take it and get something. It would make me feel better.” He waved a hand of ones in front of her face. She shooed his hand away.

“I’ll be fine.” She repeated. “I’m not even hungry.” She prayed that her stomach wouldn’t growl as she said it. She had skipped breakfast too, but she hated borrowing money.

The bell rang and she stood up and flung her bag over her shoulder. He gave her a concerning look but knew she was too stubborn to listen, even if he knew what he was talking about.

They walked down the hall in silence, side by side like always. Their paths split at the door and they shared a quick goodbye. She hugged him and exited to go to the gym. Her stomach growled and she hit herself in the abdomen. “Shut up.” She hissed.

She changed quickly in the locker room and then went up to the weight room for class. She didn’t bother to stretch, but instead went straight to the machines. She pedaled on the bike for a while and her pulse was at the height of its endurance. She lifted weights and then decided to run the track for the last half hour. She got around a few times, but didn’t want to stop. She pushed herself farther, her throat was burning and she was sweating like crazy. Her ability to run in a straight line was lost and everything started spinning. She was only halfway through the lap, and was determined to finish. She went a little faster, her pulse beating like crazy. She heard someone call out her name and heard herself scream before she blacked out.
