I walk into the workshop, I’ve still got a couple of hours left before the literature class starts. The lights are on, but I don’t see anyone around. Then I check the private room schedules and see that Hunter is in one of them. My heart makes a little jump, but I push it down immediately. He hasn’t replied to my text from Saturday evening, so I’m assuming that he doesn’t want to see me.

I can take a hint. I freaked him out last Saturday and he doesn’t want to face me now. Fine. I made stupid mistakes anyway. I should have never touched him like that, or kissed him. My face heats up at the memory and a heavy feeling spreads through my body. I write my name down for one of the other private rooms and walk past the doors. It’s not that I want to work, or need to work, but they give a good amount of privacy when I need it.

As I walk past the room Hunter is in, I look inside, but he’s got his back to me and I can’t see what he is working on. So I take the room a couple of doors down and close the privacy curtain on the door.

I open my bag and take out the eating chart. It’s mostly fresh foods, though there is a list with things I’m allowed to substitute. The last time I did this I was just at home, I didn’t have to take classes or anything. Which makes this a little bit more difficult and annoying. I check my bag for a protein bar—at least I can substitute a meal for one of these when I want to. I start eating it as I check every day, looking for swaps, looking for things I’ll need to change or want to change. It’s not a bad schedule. I’ve definitely had worse. Last year’s one was a lot worse, but that was for a lot more weight loss, this is only for a little bit. This I should be able to do. I think.

I let out a groan and put the chart aside, I’m deceiving myself if I think this will be easy. It’s so easy to get used to an eating schedule—dropping calories gets so easy when it’s just a little bit here and there and then little bits more here and there. Before you know it, you’re not eating enough again and bad stuff starts happening, bad stuff like this.

I pull my notebook from my bag and start doodling in it. I need to let these emotions out, I need to let them go. I need to express them. I’m so lost in my own little world that a knock on the door startles me.

“Lizzy?” Hunter’s low voice makes me shiver, immediately conjuring up feelings from last Saturday.

“Yeah?” I stand up, opening the door. I swallow hard. He looks… horrible, exhausted.

“It’s time to go to class. Are you coming?” He doesn’t try to sneak a peek into the room, respecting my privacy.
