I was 280 pounds.
They called me Pig Malone.
Jessica taped a sign to my back that said DO NOT FEED THE PIG.
Tyler, the guy I loved for three years, screenshotted my love letter and asked the whole school if I’d crush him to death.
They locked me in bathrooms.
Took photos of me in my bra.
Made the whole school chant my weight.
I disappeared for five years.
Now I’m 115 pounds, curves in all the right places, and I just signed with the talent agency Jessica failed to get into three times.
They set up a betting pool. $40,000 says I won’t show.
I put down $50,000 that I would.
When I walked through that door, not a single one of them recognized me.
By the end of the night, I took their money, their dignity, and the role Jessica would kill for.
They wanted a punchline.
They got a nightmare.
