B
The eyeliner makes the dark circles less pronounced.
The lipstick hides the
trembling. The ponytail(马尾辫) masks missing patches of hair. I might look a bit thinner, but everyone will ask about my new
diet.
One
hour
of
preparation and I look like myself. One hour out of 24. Sometimes I wonder if it's worth
it
—
wasting
a
twenty-fourth of my day on a lie.
Checking my makeup one last time, I slip on a cute pair of flats—heels are too dangerous
with
shaky
legs—and grab my Hollister bag. Walking downstairs, I breathe in the sweet smell of waffles and juice.
“Morning, Mom,” I
call.
“Morning, baby,” she sings. “Did you sleep well?”
“Better than I have been.”
She sighs, and her eyes look a hundred years old for a minute. “Any improvement is good,” she
says
half-heartedly.
“Of course.”
“I made waffles.” “Thanks, Mom. Smells delicious.”
I sit at the table and she hands me a plate. The thought of all that food turns my stomach, but I force a smile and thank my mother again.
She busies herself at the sink and fills the silence with chatter.
When
she
turns
around, she takes in the waffles still on my plate, only missing a few bites. I smile apologetically.
“I'm not very hungry this morning.”
“You'll
need
your
strength for this afternoon. Morrison will wait for you.” She bites her lip.
“I packed your lunch.” “I'm 18, Mom. I can pack my own lunch. You have more important things to do.”
She reaches for the paper bag. “But now I know
you'll have something to eat. And you need to eat, okay? You have to keep your strength up.”
Sighing, I take the bag. I know this peanut butter and jelly sandwich won't be eaten, not any more than the one yesterday or the day before.
And even if I do eat it, I'll just throw it up later.
“Honey,
have
you
thought about what I said the other day?” she asks.
I remain silent.
“Sweetheart, you can't hide
the
secret
forever.
Eventually you're going to miss school and people will start asking questions.”
