A Different Kind of Glow-Up Chapter 9 No Longer Afraid
After finals, we all went home for the break.My parents were so thrilled by my transformation that they could barely contain their excitement.Conrad came looking for me one more time.He apologized sincerely, admitting that he should not have put me down in high school or told people in college that I was the one chasing after him.He also said he should not have looked down on me and that everything had been his fault."Tessa, I… I was afraid that once you lost the weight, you wouldn't need me anymore. When we got into the same college, I was genuinely happy. But somehow, whenever I tried to say something, the wrong words came out. I never really felt that way about you."I had had enough of listening to him, so I asked my mom to come out and send him away.…A few days into the break, another post appeared on the campus confession page.It was the same account as before."Some people lose a little weight and suddenly think they're better than everyone else. They dump thei
A Different Kind of Glow-Up Chapter 8 Letting Go
It was the day I wrote that promise.That evening, after reading through the whole conversation, I finally let go of my insecurities. From then on, I no longer felt self-conscious around Silas.He told me he had not agreed to run with me for the money. He had seen the things Conrad said about me and thought they were way out of line."I'd never even met you, but that didn't make it okay for him to talk about someone that way."I let out a breath. "Actually, ever since I started gaining weight, I haven't had any friends."Back in the present, Conrad shrank back guiltily when he heard Silas's accusation. "I… I just wanted to pay you in full.""No. You thought she'd never lose the weight, so you figured you wouldn't have to pay me at all."Still unwilling to back down, Conrad pulled out his phone. "Don't make things up! I just wanted to pay you everything at once! How much do I owe you? I'll send it right now!"Silas shook his head. "Forget it. I run with her because I want to, no
A Different Kind of Glow-Up Chapter 7 A New Beginning
From up here, I could see the entire city. The buildings were not very tall, and everything looked gray and hazy.I was eating the cherry tomatoes Silas had washed for me when I noticed him hesitating several times, as if he wanted to say something but could not bring himself to."What's wrong?""Nothing. I'll tell you when we get back to campus.""Are you going to make me do extra training?""No. You've gotten enough exercise today."I watched him quietly until he finally took a deep breath."Tessa, I like you." His voice was soft, no different from usual, but there was a hint of nervousness in it."It's not because you've lost weight or because you're pretty. It's because you never gave up on yourself. Not once, from the very beginning."After saying that, he looked straight at me.I felt relieved.Finals were almost over, and summer break was coming. If he did not confess now, we would have to wait until school started again."You don't have to give me an answer right aw
A Different Kind of Glow-Up Chapter 6 A Different Kind of Answer
"And I don't mind." Silas turned to leave. "We've done enough for today. Let's head back. I'll walk you."I quickly stuffed my water bottle and towel into my bag and hurried after him. He always matched his pace to mine, knowing how slowly I walked.When we reached my dorm, he stopped. "Tessa, what did you want me to say when you asked me that earlier?"His expression was calm, but his eyes never left my face.I thought for a moment. "Nothing. I just wanted to ask. I wasn't sure if you'd mind.""I don't mind." He repeated his answer. "Anytime you want to use me as an excuse to keep someone away, go ahead. But if someday you don't want to use me as an excuse anymore, if you decide you want to take this seriously, that's fine too."The moment he finished speaking, he turned and walked away. Then, he broke into a jog, which quickly turned into a sprint. In seconds, he was gone.I could not help laughing.…At 10:30, just as I was climbing into bed, Silas sent me a message. "Good
A Different Kind of Glow-Up Chapter 5 A Promise Kept
Conrad froze, unable to move.I walked around him and headed for the door, but he followed me into the hallway and blocked my path.His expression darkened, his lips turning down into a frown.Several students were passing by. Some seemed to recognize him as the guy from the school's confession page, though they probably had no idea who I was.Conrad did not care. "Tessa, when did you and Silas get together? Why didn't I know about this?"His brows knitted together, his voice carrying the irritation of someone who had just had something taken from him."What does my personal life have to do with you? Why would I need to tell you?""Tessa, don't do anything rash!" He lowered his voice, seemingly trying to keep his temper in check."He's just your running partner. I pay him $20 a day. What could he possibly offer you? He's so broke he'll take even $20. Don't you think being with someone like him is beneath you?"He grew more agitated with every word.I, on the other hand, was b
A Different Kind of Glow-Up Chapter 4 No Longer Yours
One of the guys burst out laughing. "Didn't she lose weight? It's just hard to tell when she had that much to lose!""Poor Conrad. How much are you paying that guy to run alongside her?"Everyone turned to look at him. I clenched my fingers, waiting for his answer.…Meanwhile, Conrad was busy peeling a hard-boiled egg for Brynn. Without even looking up, he said casually, "Twenty bucks a day. That's his rate."He did not mention that we had ended up in the same major because I had wanted to study finance and he had followed me to the same test prep classes. Eventually, we had even ended up in the same class.He did not mention that I had never been the one chasing him. He had been the one following me around since we were kids.With that one offhand remark, he turned every rumor into fact.The laughter in the classroom grew even louder. Brynn glanced at me with a look I could not quite read. "Tessa, don't take it personally. They're just joking around."But she could not qui
