CHAPTER 5
SELENA
My wake-up call comes in from the front desk promptly at eight-thirty am. Yeah, I know Iâm cutting it close, but I donât fucking care. Going through my suitcase, I grab the lavender linen sundress that I wadded up like yesterday's newspaper last night, just to make a point. Mommy dearest didnât want wrinkles, so guess what sheâs getting. Serves her right for trying to fat shame me.
Dressing quickly, I snake my hands through my hair, getting out all the tangles and pulling it up into a messy bun before applying a little mascara to my lashes and calling it a morning. Weâre just going for a dress fitting and a mani/pedi, so thereâs no need to be dressed to the nines.
Picking up my room key and my purse from the nightstand, I head out the door. I have exactly four minutes until Iâm late, and I can guarantee you sheâs already tapping her foot on the floor with a look of disdain on her face. How dare I keep Julia waiting! Stepping up to the elevator, I press the down button, and when the doors open, two blondes with fake boobs and tiny waists are giggling inside.
âAre you sure this was the floor?â bleach blonde one says to the second as they step off, blocking me from entering.
âExcuse you,â bleach blonde two belts out as she turns her nose up at me. They move past me, the door shutting before I can get in it.
Reaching out, I push the button again, catching the elevator before it leaves the floor, and the doors spring open for the second time. I step inside but not before glancing to the left to hear the blondes giggling as bleach blonde one looks over at me. âDid you see how fat she is? Glad she wasnât on the elevator with us. We could have plummeted to our death.â
âCan you believe people let themselves go like that? Please kill me if I do.â Bleach blonde two acts like sheâs gagging.
Unfortunately, they accomplished just what they wanted. They hit me with the one insecurity I try so hard to overcome; my weight. Now I get to listen to my mother criticize me about it. Theyâve sucked all the joy from wearing the wrinkled dress out of me, and I just hope the poor unfortunate soul who they are looking for has better sense than to fall for those heinous vultures.
The elevator goes straight down to the first floor, not stopping at any other floor. Stepping out into the lobby, true to form, Mom stands there, arms crossed over her chest, with a scowl on her face, tapping her toes on the floor. Kill me now. What I wouldnât give for this to be a roadrunner cartoon, and me as Wile E. Coyote, where the dynamite is ready to blow me up, or the rock fall on my head.
âReally, Selena, you werenât raised in a barn. Did you not listen to anything I said last night? If it wouldnât make us late, Iâd send you back to your room to change.
