A Glass Of Water

Corry: Work
“Carry! Those people can sit at table 3!”

It’s Corry you imbecile. “Right this way ladies and gentlemen! My name is Corry. Feel free to call me if you need anything and your waitress will be along shortly.”

Don’t make me go back to the front desk. Oh God I have to, don’t I? I am going to be sick again if that perpetual popcorn scent insists on haunting and taunting me. It’s bad enough having to pass through the food court on the third floor to get up here. Why the hell do I work here?

“Can we be seated yet? We’ve been waiting for 15 minutes, Carry!”

Freaking BSS girls. “I know. I’m so sorry guys! While you wait why don’t you tell me what you thought of the Grad trip?” Is Corry really that hard to pronounce? You guys have known me since the 6th grade.

I seriously think I’m going to be sick…popcorn; my favorite childhood snack has now betrayed me. “I’ll be right back! Don’t worry you’ll be seated any minute!” I need to get to a washroom, now.

Look at that girl in the mirror; puke in her hair and too heavy for this tiny hostess outfit. Repulsive.

School the next day

Look at her sitting there. Marie, with her perfect blonde hair (dyed obviously but still gorgeous) slightly curled at the bottom. I swear if she weren’t in her uniform she’d be the perfect Tumblr girl. So picturesque and elegant even in our box-shaped blouse.

“So, what are you guys wearing to semi?”

“I got this black dress…it’s backless! But I want to lose some weight before, it’s a bit too tight right now.”

“Same, my dress has a corset style top and I want it to lace up as tight as possible.”

Don’t say anything Corry; nothing you say will be helpful. Just let it go.

“Well I was thinking about going on a liquid diet, you guys want to do it with me?”

Marie, seriously? I’m pretty sure North York General would not approve.

“Ya, we only have a week and a half till semi so let’s go with that.”

“Sounds good! So are we all doing it?” Well I guess that’s decided then. When is my next appointment? I have one between now and semi. I can skip that one, Ma won’t notice. Perfect! I could use it anyway.

Marie: The day before semi

“It’s literally the day before semi…where is Corry? How am I supposed to keep up this liquid diet and get ready for semi alone? She’s probably dropped more than the rest of us and wants to surprise everyone at semi. Bitch. Has anyone heard from her?”

“No I was trying to call her but my mom said that her moms took her phone.”

“I heard she’s in the hospital.”

“What? Nobody thought to tell me! Come on guys! I’m calling my mom.” People! My best friend ever is in the hospital? Why wouldn’t someone mention this to me? “Hey mom have you spoken to Ma recently?”

“Marie I’m on my way to pick you up. Be out front in 10.”

Oh crap. I can’t think clearly enough to cry. What’s going on?

North York General Hospital

“I’m sorry Miss but Corry isn’t having visitors outside of her family yet.”

Back home.

Chicken-a-la-king. My favourite. Mom made it to make me feel better so there it is with a glass of water next to it. Oh Corry.
