Should I up the green tea, or perhaps green tea pills? Or perhaps a liquid fast? Thanks, everyone, for all your support—Fat-Ass.

    It was like the poster, Fat-Ass, was reading her mind. Leah eagerly scrolled down to see who had responded.
    Try this diet. Leah kept reading. Watermelons. Eat only watermelon for an entire week! Guarantee it’ll knock off ten pounds before you know it! Plus, you can eat all the watermelon you want! Extremely low calorie!
    Ten pounds! That was two more than what she was hoping to lose in the next week. No doubt that would get rid of her lower-belly pouch. Plus, she loved watermelon.
    Leah gazed at the pictures of the poster, Fat-Ass. The girl certainly was no fat ass. She looked like a model. The kind of model Leah wanted to be at the Jade photo shoot. She wasn’t gaunt or sickly as Leah had expected anorexics to look.

    Why not? Leah decided as she clicked the link. If the advice was good, she would take it. If it was stupid, she would ignore it. In the meantime, watermelon diet it was.

    Leah stared longingly at the side salad Shazan picked at as the two girls ate lunch at Riverside Mall on Friday afternoon. Salad had never looked so good. Her mood was still foul from what had happened at school.
    Jay asked that skinny bitch right in front of her! He knew how much it would hurt her and he still did it! Jackass! She caught a glimpse of him that morning getting into his Mustang. It wasn’t just her imagination; he had definitely glanced at her bedroom window before squealing out of the driveway. He knew.
    Her reaction must have totally given her away.
    Today she’d been in no mood to sit through an hour of geometry. Staring at the back of Jennifer’s silky black hair. Wishing for the universe to pull a Freaky Friday and switch her body with the tiny junior’s. Then she would be the one kissing Jay by his Mustang for all the school to see.
    Luckily, Shazan had insisted Leah cut class and hit the mall for some good old-fashioned retail therapy to celebrate her slim new body.
    Not slim enough for Jay, though.
    â€œI need a dress that says, ‘I’m sexy, but not a slut,’ you know what I mean?” Whack, whack, whack, went Shazan’s fork. She speared a piece of carrot, then set down the fork without taking a bite of the mouthwatering sliver of orange. “It’s going to be mine and Bill’s six-month anniversary, so I want the night to be really special.”
    â€œHuh.” Leah rested her chin on her now-empty water glass.
    â€œWhat about you? Who are you gonna go with?”
    â€œI don’t know.” Leah was too busy watching Shazan’s fork. “Maybe one of the guys on the team.”
    â€œDon’t worry, Li. We’ll find someone for you. Someone tall. And hot. He has to be hot.”
    Already found him.
    Leah felt a twinge of sadness. How stupid she’d been to think that just because Jay had complimented her on her weight loss, he’d be interested in her as a girl.
    She was just another buddy.
    She had to just come out and tell him how she felt. She couldn’t keep it inside anymore. As soon as possible. In her dreams, he would confess that he felt the same way and had only asked Jennifer out because he didn’t think Leah was at all interested in him that way.
    â€œI want Bill to want more.” Shazan was still talking. “But not so much that he goes and gets it somewhere else.”
    Leah laughed. “And where would that be, Shazan?”
    Bill Collins was good-looking, sweet and, above all, smart. He wasn’t about to cheat on one of the hottest girls in school with some random chick who was ready to put out. How could beautiful girls like Shazan be so insecure? If Leah looked anything like her, she would never question herself.
    â€œOh, there are a lot of possibilities, Leahie.” Shazan wrinkled her pert nose, the diamond
