"This will be the last one",I promised myself softly yet determined.A second later,I pop a mint flavoured mentos into my mouth,enjoying every bit of sweetness and mint in it.A minute passed,I was already eyeing on the leftover mentos on the tables,resisting the urge to take it and gooble it all up.But theres this one thing that made me stop,the one thing that the boy said to me,his words that kept appearing in my mind non-stop.
This is what actually happened.
People would describe me as a bubbly girl.I was always smiling and being happy all the time, which I highly suspect it is due to the high amount of sugar in my blood.I will die if I do not get to have something sweet in my mouth every few hours.So then,all the birthday presents I received so far,was just food and snacks.Be it sweets or chocolates,I would always jump up and down,screaming like nobody's business even if I were to be in a supermarket.I admit that all the pocket money I received was spent on sugary stuffs instead of proper meals,which often I replaced with sweets.
However sugar,is one thing that destroys me most.I did not know how much harm those sugars are going to do to my body until this boy in my class,who I secretly admire came to me and said this straight in my face that I will remember in my life forever,I just know I will.And it did came true."You are seriously growing wider.Your smile is the only place I could look at right now, talking to you."Those words hit me like a storm,from heaven I was now all the way to hell.The whole class started laughing,I knew by then,I will no longer be the same again,I will no longer be able to smile as much as I used to.But this certainly sets me on a mission to cut the amout of sweets I am going to have everyday.I know this is the only way then I could smile again,instead of growing wider I would grow taller.
This is it.I AM NOT GOING AROUND GOOBLING UP EVERY SUGARY STUFFS I SEES.
Now taking a last look at the mentos on the table,I heave a sigh and walk away.Till this day,I regretted for being such a fool,drooling at whatever sweets that is placed not far from me.I just wished that the boy could told me this earlier,I just wish that all this would never had taken place.I just wish I could be skinny right now.
Sugar-lover? That’s pretty unique! I used to like sweets a lot since young. However, my parents will always forbid me from consuming too much sweets or foods that is high in sugar. I could really sense from the way you write that you were really a little crazy over sweets and chocolates. Also, from your last paragraph you seem very regretful. Well, it is never too late to change now. From my opinion, I think you did this composition really well!
