somewhere written by Elliot Bush   7/11/02  time 1:30am...





somewhere there is a young girl reading a beauty cover magazine

saying to herself i wish i looked like all the girls in this magazine

in the magazine she noticed a topic titled unpretty



unpretty girls are fat ugly and eat to much

don't be unpretty diet with Total Loss



being  made fun of and teased she ordered the Total loss

she read the intructions  take 1 time daily

the young girl thinking about being called fat overweight

blimp and having people making fun of her

made the young girl take 3 instead of 1



during the night the young girl sat in her room writting in her Diary



she wrote.



Dear Diary i am tired of being the unpretty girl

i want people to like me and not make fun of me

i am sick of going out and people looking at me and snickering

there was this one time i went to the movies and when i walkd in people started saying

whoa look at that she is going to take up the whole row.

do you know how that made me feel

i started to cry and i left the theater in tears



i got home and took 3 more diet pills but nothing is happening



the next day i went to school there i was waiting for the bus

the bus came and when i got on everyone moved to the other side

yelling omg it's going to tip over



i got off and cried not going to school that day

i went into my room and took 1 more diet pill sat on my bed crying

I ended up falling a sleep and i was awakin by the sound of my door bell

I got up to answer the door

There was Timmy a very smart sensitve boy who everyone called a nerd

i said hi timmy whats up  he said emily i got your home work for you

are you sick why didn't you come to school.



I told him i was ill and wouldn't be in for awhile

he looked at me and said ok i hope i see you soon



i closed the door and headed back to my room

there i sat infront of my mirrior

looking at myself i ended up breaking the mirror and crying once again

I stayed up stairs until my parents got home



My dad got home first and went into his study

i came down and said Hi daddy how was your day

he said not now i am busy

i said oh ok daddy i'll let you go then



i walked into the kitchen and saw my mommy

i said hi mommy how was your day

she said not now i am busy

i said oh ok mommy do you need any help

she said not now i am busy



i went back to my room

and saw my sister  my sister was pretty thin and weight only 130 pounds

and she was putting on her make up

because her boyfriend erick captian of the football team and wrestling team

was taken her out on a date



i said to my sister  sis can i ask you a question

she said not now  i am busy

i said but this is importiant

she said what it is cow

i said nevermind and cried back to my room



there I went into my room and took another diet pill

i layed on my bed and played some music

soon my mom yelled kids time to eat

i came down stairs and my sister said

did you make enough to feed mrs. piggy over here



My mom just laughed and my father too

i said  i'm not hungry and went upstairs

i layed crying on my bed

soon the phone rang it was timmy

timmy said hey emily what ru doing

i said um nothing just sitting here listening to music



he said do you want to get a ride with me tomarrow

i said um sure



later that night i went to bed

i woke up took 2 diet pills and ate a peice of bread



soon timmy picked me up in his car

we drove to school and timmy was telling me about english

and what we did the day i was out



soon we pulled into the parking lot and when i got out

all the kids yelled hey timmy you better get new shocks for your car



timmy ignoring them making fun of me took my hand and we walked to class



Ah english class Mrs.Rown was teaching us about poetry and litacture

she said we have an assignment and we must pick a buddy

well everyone picked a buddy and timmy

and I were the only ones left so we became partners



the bell rang and it was time for gym

being me i never really likes competing much because they made fun of my weight

I walked into the girls locker room

there all the girls laughed and made fun of me telling me

that i should have to change in the boiler room

because my uglyness will wear off



i walked out with a tear

then the worse came are class was playing kick ball

i was up they rolled the ball to me

i tried to kick it but i missed and fell

all i heard were all the kids laughing



i got up and went into the bathroom and cried

why do they make fun of me am i that ugly that nobody wants to be seen with me

i'm being ingnored by my whole family



ring ring oh great the lunch bell

i started walking to my locker and there was timmy being held upside down

by big d he is the meanest kid in our school.



i got sick of seeing them attacking timmy that i said hey leave him alone

big d looked at me and said  fuck off you fucking ugly bitch

go eat a cow or something pig..i just stopped and left



i got home from school and went into my room

i looked at the diet pills.

these damn things don't work



i chucked them into the trash



then i wanted to talk to timmy but i never had his phone number

so i opened my telephone book and saw an add

that said lose weight join the exercise team



i though hmm this sounds like a good idea

i went to the gym and the trianer came up and said how much do you think you weigh

i said um 350 pounds



she looked at me and said step on the scale

i stepped on the scale and looked away

i never liked these things anyway i said to the trainer

she said emily you said you think you weigh 350 pounds

i said yeah i am fat



the trainer looked and said you are way off

i said oh great i way more

she said no no your lighter then you think

i said what do you mean

she said look at the scale so i looked and there i was 230

i said omg  i am not fat

she said well who said you were fat

i said friends family people i don;t know everyone



she said well with a little exercise you can lose the 30 pounds and weigh 200

i said really lets do it



everyday after school i would go to the trainer and do push ups sit ups and crunches

then she had me run the tredmill



finally after 2 months i lost more then 30 pounds i weight 130

i jumped in joy and said thank you to my trainer vicky



then i came home

said everyone i have an announcement to make

my family comes running in what is it dear

i said i weigh 130 pounds i have been training real hard'

my family congratulated me and said were sorry

i said for what.my mom said for making you feel like you weren't apart of the family

i said oh it's ok



then my sister started crying and she said sis i am sorry too

i said it's fine



i ran up stairs to look in the mirror but i rememberd i broke my mirror

so i came down stairs and said mom can you take me to the store to buy a new mirror

she said sure



we went into the mall and i said hmm

i got this fine looking body i might as well flash it off

she said ok  so i got this really nice belly shirt and pants

i got home and tried it on wow being in a 32-34 waist feels great.

i went to bed and woke up the next morning

all siked for timmy to pick me up

7:30am hit no timmy so i though oh maybe he is sick

so i went to school and when i got there people looked at me as if i was a whole new person

the didn't make fun of me well except for calling me skinny but i was like what ever



the day ended and i went home and called timmy

i got his answering machine and i said

Hi timmy it's Emily i just wanted to see why you weren;t in school

if ya can give me a call when you get home



10:30pm i get a call it's timmy

i said timmy were you sick today

he said no in a depresses voice

i said timmy whats wrong you sound upset



timmy replied can you come over

i said gee i don;t know its pretty late

he said please i want someone here with me

i said hold on i'll ask my mom

i said mom can i go to timmy's he needs some home work

she said sure do you have your key

i said yes i do and headed out the door



i walked up to timmy's house and i knocked on the door

this georgous boy answered and i said Hi is timmy there

the boy replied i am timmy



I said timmy what happen he said do you like me

i said yes i always have

he said well i am going to tell you something come upstairs with me

so i followed him up stairs



we entered his room

there was all this stuff on the floor

i said timmy whats going on

he said  you wouldn't understand if i told you

i looked on his desk and saw a magazine

it had a red circle around this one article



the article said

wanna be popular and get all the girls

order studbuster



i looked at timmy and said timmy what did you do

he said nothing

i said then why is this circled

he said  when i was younger i was the popular guy and i got alot of attention

but then girls came after me and people thought i was a great object

but i got sick of it and turned myself into a geek

i said timmy is that why the add is circled

he said yeah it isn't so great being popular

i said then why did you call me over



he said i want to show you the real me

i said ok and he took off his shirt

and then he looked at me and said can i see the real you

i said um ok i took off my shirt and he came and kissed me on the lips

my first kiss wow was it great



then i told him i had to go

he said ok pick ya up tomarrow i said yep



morning timmy came and picked me up

we walked to english class and the kids thought timmy was a new student

they were all shocked and amazed



well remember the assignment it turned out timmmy and i had to write a beauty tip add for a magazine

we thought about the articles that we went by and said nah we can do better

so we made an add and the add said



Kids it doesn't matter what you look like just be yourself

Don't follow these adds you read because there all fixed up and look nice in the pictures

but really there normal in real life.Take our advice

Signed Emily and Timmy
