ice cream

Every time we walk into the ice cream shop, all the boys try and talk to her and ignore the other customers.

They don't notice me and don't talk to me because she's thin and pretty and I'm short and fat.

My mom says it's just baby fat and that once I hit puberty, I will grow taller and get thinner just like my father.

The boys always give Lena extra scoops and only give me extra when she tells them to.

I don't want boys to look at me the way the look at Lena, but I like it when Lena smiles at me when I thank her for getting me extra ice cream.
