Getting Jack Back by Maddy Warnes (robert munsch read aloud txt) 📖

1st March

(Olivia)

Weight: 8 stone 5 and a half (FAT)

Calories: 4024.6  (TOO MANY)

Things eaten: 1 tub of Ben and Jerry’s Phish food ice cream, 1 giant Cadbury’s Easter egg, 6 Cadbury’s creme eggs and 1 1.5litre bottle of coke.

Ugly, covered in spots, fat and treated like shit.

I knew this would happen. I knew he’d dump me. I knew it all along so why didn’t I stop it, or at least do something about it? Why did I have to go and raid the Easter cupboard? I knew those creme eggs were for Lily. She’s going to be mortified. Mum’s going to kill me. She already hates me. I called her a cow this morning. I didn’t mean it. I never do. It just slipped out. It always slips out. 
Now look at me, watching P.S. I love you and stuffing my face with Ben and Jerry’s ice cream. I know I’ll regret it later; calorie by calorie I’m growing in size. I’m already fat. I’ll be obese by the end of the week. That’s why he dumped me, isn’t it? It’s because I’m fat. It’s because I’m fat and ugly and covered in spots.

(Jack)

I did it, I ditched her. Freedom is mine! Thought I'd never do it. It's not that I'm chicken, just that shes been acting wierd lately and didn't want her to cry on me. It's real awkward when a girl cries when you dump her. I don't like it when she cries. I just can't stand her sometimes. She kept getting angry for no reason and taking it out on me. She was getting all jealous and saying that she didn't want me and Jess hanging out together. I guess she was right, but she didn't have to lash out so much. That's why I dumped her. She changed. She won't stop saying she's fat. She's not fat....she's just not the fittest girl in school. Shame really, she was well nice. Not like the other girls, you know? She was more into the stuff I am. More like a mate than a girlfriend. Suppose thats all she is now. Oh well, got a new bird to focus on.

2nd March

(Olivia)

Weight: 8 stone 5 (STILL FAT)

Calories: 0 (MAKES UP FOR YESTERDAY)

Things eaten: Wasn't hungry.

Still ugly, still fat. Still treated like dirt. Although have vowed to only drink water to reduce spots

I got my results for my chemistry test today. I passed. Not that it matters, though. I'm not exactly people's first choice for giving out jobs. I'm only just scraping by in my lessons lately, I only just get marked 'satisfactory' on my homework and I got sacked from my saturday job. Everything in my life is a disaster. First Jack goes out with that smug cow Jess and then I get told I'm being held back from English higher because of 'poor quality work in class'. Honestly, Teachers know nothing at that school. They don't understand my pain. Mum's upset though. Lily hasn't got a clue. She thinks everything’s O.K. in the world and that Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy are having tea and biscuits as we speak.

HANDS OFF!

I saw you eyeing up my man today in Art. You're a proper bitch, you know that? Stay away from him. Face it, he dumped you. He's embarrassed to be seen with you. You're holding him back. Let him go so he can get on with his life with a slimmer, prettier girl, like me.

Thanks for nothing

Thanks for sticking up for me. NOT. Some friend you are. Jess is having a right go at me for nothing. 


(Jack)

Stop messaging me, Liv! I don't want to tell you why we broke up and to be honest I don't know what I see in Jess!

Aimee, I don't care if she's in floods. I've got a girlfriend. It's not Olivia. Deal with it, Bitch.

God, It's only been a day and I already have hate mail.

I did stick up for you but you know Jess...

3rd March

(Olivia)

Weight: 8 stone 4 and a quarter (FAT)

Calories: 69

Things eaten: a cube of cheese

Still ugly. Still fat. Less spots, but still treated like dirt.

I bought Lily some new creme eggs today and instead of an easter egg I got her a cuddly bunny. Don't want her to get fat like me. I put them both in the cupboard. She'll like that for easter. Although those creme eggs make me feel sick looking at them. Bad food means bad body. Bad body means I stay single and depressed forever. 

Don't eat the chocolate. Chocolate is bad for you. Most food is bad for you, but cheese is good in small amounts. A cube should do.

I will lose weight.
I will be skinny.
I will get Jack back.

(Jack)

Hey, I play the guitar....wait a second.....

She always said she liked my hair. And I have green eyes. And I think she's funny.....

Is she on about me?

Jess isn't going to like this.

WHAT DID I SAY?

I saw that little 'like' of yours. describing my man? that's just low, even for you. He won't fall for it though. He's too smart. You're a boobless, fat spotty cow. Enjoy your life, not that you deserve one and once again, HANDS OFF MY MAN!

4th March

(Olivia)

Weight: 8 Stone 4(FAT)

Calories: 580

Things eaten: KFC. 1 kids sized popcorn chicken. 1 corn on the cob. 1 tropicana fruit punch.

Still fat. Still ugly. Apparently now boobless. Feel sick.

KFC with mum and Lily today. What joy. KFC is for fat people who want to get even fatter. We shouldn't be taking Lily to these places. She'll get fat. I don't want my baby sister to end up like me. I want her to find a boy who loves her, not leaves her.

I want her to find a boy completely the opposite of Jack. Well, not the opposite. He's gorgeous and kind and... 
stop it. Jess'll ring your neck in if you keep thinking about him. She knows...

All I'm saying is I don't want Lily to end up with a heartbreaker.

Wow, she's skinny! Her face looks really pale in that picture. Haven't seen her in a few days so I don't know, but that's got to be the light. She never looked like that. She doesn't look like that.

What if she does? OMG what have I done?

sincere apologies

I'm sorry for the way I've acted the past few days. You don't deserve it. I dumped you because I hated seeing you upset all the time. Don't be upset. I hate it when you're upset. Are you alright at the moment, Liv? you look a little pale.

Oh well, see you in Art.

Jack :)

Happy Days!

You seem cheerful again babe! good to see it! You're looking great. I don't know how you did it but you're deffinately slimmer. Keep it up!

You do look pale, though :/

You know what this is about

Once again, you seem to be eyeing up my man. Somehow you're happier and slimmer and it's not right. You don't deserve happiness and you don't deserve to be slim. You're too ugly to pull it off anyway.


(Jack)

Ho Hum Pigs Bum.

BORED.

I miss Olivia.

Not excessively, just as a mate. 

She was good to play footie with.

Jess just likes shopping.

Speaking of Jess, I haven't seen her in ages. She keeps hanging around with Lewis Reynolds and his sister.

Creepy.

Maybe I'll call her.

Hmmm....Later.

Somethings going on and I don't like it. Jess is acting wierd and Liv didn't turn up to art today. Apparently she was throwing up in the toilets.
Poor girl.

Weight: 8 stone 1 and a quarter

Calories: 3

Things eaten: 250ml Lemonade

Still ugly. still fat. Boobless and more spotty than ever.

Lily says, "mummy I don't want to go to school today,"

She has no Idea.

Try being harrassed by your ex-boyfriend's sycho replacement of you.

You can tell she likes Lewis.

Not Jack.

She's never with Jack.

Good. She's bad for him. She made him skip art once. He loves art. He loved me, too.

Stop it, Liv, you'll smudge your mascara!

Who cares, I
