Will he come out soon? I'm so scared. They talked about it but I didn't think they would send me here. Not yet. I'm so scared. I want to get out of here.
Hey, it's totally cool Pearl. You just chill. All you've got to do is watch some TV, read a book, paint your nails or whatevs. Don't let the crazies get you excited. We'll get this sorted out.

So why did your folks send you to an eating disorder place?
I don't have a TV. Or nailpolish. And I don't really want to read. I want to be at gymnastics practice. There is a big competition next week. I need to practice. I wanted to win this one.
Don't worry about it. Even if you miss this one, you'll have all that competition stored up and kick so much ass at the next one people will be like 'dude'. And that's it. Like there won't be words.
Anyway there are about ten voicemails on Anser's phone, so the second he's out of class he'll help.
It's when you have acid problems. I think. I'm really awful at science. I'm trying. I don't know.
She didn't throw up. Things just dropped. I throw up. But I don't want people to know. People don't believe me. They think I'm bulimic. I think Elizabeth Murphy told them I threw up after lunch on Wednesday but I couldn't help it. That must be why they put me here but I want to go home. I want to go to the gym. I don't want this. I'm so scared. I'm really scared Delilah. Where is Professor Anser?
Okay. I'm pretty sure we can swing this to get you out asap. Your parents have got no reason to think you're bulimic any more than think you've got some sort of rare stomach disease.
Telling people you want to go to the gym is probably not the best plan right now though. Eat a twinkie or something.

They think I'm bulimic. But I'm not.

Because I throw up a lot. But I can't help it. I don't want to. They told me it was GERD. It must be GERD.
But I need to practice. I'm not going to win. What if they don't let me compete now?
Where is he? I need Anser.

Your Tale threw up didn't she? Can Eleanor fix it?
If they don't let you compete you'll defect to the other team and make them regret it. That's what the movies tell me.
