She envied the curves of her teammates. In the end, puberty came and thinness went away. Today, against her wishes, she is labeled fat.

His mother (she doesn't know it, but her label is evil) gives him a brilliant idea: rigorous diet and extreme exercise. Result? More anguish. Until one day a supposed nutritionist gives her some medicine. Then the ordeal turns into hell. April will have to prove that he can get out of there.
