Character: Claire Rice
You know, just because you’re a kid doesn’t mean you’re not right about things. I hated being there, in that hospital, because I knew, I just knew I was going to get found out. And when I did, just like everything else, I would have failed her again. No matter what I do, it’s never what my mom wants; it’s never good enough. I can never be just right - or even okay. She wants me to get As, and I kill myself studying, and I get As and A+s. And then, it’s just that they’re not all A+s, you know, and how did I let myself get so fat while that happened and don’t I know I can do better than this and I’m just lazy?
The worst thing is, maybe she’s right, you know? I mean, maybe I am lazy. She tells me over and over how much I am wrong, how I should be doing all these things. And when I look deep inside myself, I realize - I can’t, actually. I don’t have the energy in me, as much as I know I should, to go without food and sleep and still get great grades and play sports and be everything she wants ( ... )
