Unloved
002: Student Rush
Caden moved over a thousand miles only to realize most of the guys on her team were taken. Just her luck. She grew up in an average sized town in Texas and moved to the frigid north for a fucking shot. A shot she'd never have. That wasn't the ONLY reason she moved, but it was a huge factor. Not like she'd ever tell anybody the truth. Her plan was to move, get skinny, and snag one of the boys. Or at least be friends with them. Maybe it was those stupid 24/7 episodes that made her feel like she'd have a chance. Like they were normal people. Like they were accessible. The bad thing about loving them was that everybody else in the city loved them. She soon thought she should have just stayed home, saved the money, and the time.
This night Caden cried herself to sleep. It was stupid and she was paranoid because she found an ant in her bed. The tiny insect wasn't the reason, it was the trigger. She hated all bugs, but she couldn't help but wonder how it wound up in her bed alone. From what she could remember from her freshman bio class, ants usually travel together. This one must have been scoping out for food. Anyway, she felt small. Tiny in the universe looking for her mate. She could go easy on the food. She knew that much like the ant she'd killed, she wouldn't find it. She woke up in the morning with her eyelashes stuck to each other. She slowly pulled herself from the bed and desperately wanted to wash the scent of defeat from her body. She pulled on her robe and headed for the shower. Time seemed to stand still as she stood under the spray, feeling her hair curl up into ringlets.
“Cay, get out! I need to get to work” her room mate Jessica screamed.
Caden was immediately shocked by the sound and flinched.
“Sorry!” she screamed back, rinsing the remaining soap from her body and making a sprint back to her room. Though she liked to start over on Mondays, she decided she was going to do something about her fat problem. She pulled on a pair of Victoria’s Secret yoga pants and a workout top. The size Large fit her, but in her mind, not well. She ran down the stairs and flipped thorugh her many workout DVDs. None that she’d ever used before. She settle on P90X and warmed up a bit before completeing 3 DVDs. She thought she was going to puke.
She headed to the kitchen for some fruit and then her guilty pleasure: Tumblr. She logged on and scrolled through the fitblr tag starting to feel even worse about herself. She just kept scrolling down past pictures of hot girls with perfectly toned asses and cute running shoes. She slammed her laptop and removed some fruit from the fridge when her other room mate Elena walked in screaming.
"Oh. My. God. Caden! You won't believe what just happended."
"What happend she asked emotionless as she started eating her strawberries.
"I just got us student rush tickets to the game tonight!" the Portuguse girl said jumping up and down.
