"Since I don't look like every other girl, it takes a while to be okay with that. To be different. But different is good." - Serena Williams.

IT WAS MONDAY again and I did my usual morning routine. After my mom dropped me off, I headed into the school and straight to my locker. I kept wondering about one thing all weekend and it was the same this morning.

Why on Earth was Alex being nice to me?

He had not shown any form of ill-treatment towards me ever since I met him and I felt weird about it. There was something suspicious about it. To someone who was used to being treated like trash, this was new.

At my locker, I dropped the stuff I didn’t need and picked up the books for my morning classes. I was so occupied with my thoughts that I didn’t realize that I had company.

"Hello…" The person said to gain my attention. I was surprised to see that it was Avery.

"Penny for your thoughts?" She said it so casually, easily – as if we'd been friends for a while.

I didn't know what to s

  • His Marshmallow   Chapter Sixteen

    "The best gift you are ever going to give someone — the permission to feel safe in their own skin.”― Hannah Brencher.MaisieAS FAR AS I knew, Avery didn't like Raymond. Not one bit. But tonight, it was as if she suddenly liked all the things she claimed she hadn't. Firstly, she made us come to this party that she clearly said she wasn't interested in before. Then, she went ahead, and mingled with the said popular kids that she also didn't like. Now, she was dancing with Ray. And it wasn't just any dance, it was kind of provocative. I knew she was drunk but that didn't explain all that had happened tonight. She was already acting weird before we got here. I wish she had just opened up to me, instead of this disaster that was going on here. I watched her dance for a few minutes, contemplating my next course of action. I thought about what Avery would do if she wasn't under the influence of alcohol. She would definitely not be dancing with Ray. She'd definitely regret this. So, I wal

  • His Marshmallow   Chapter Fifteen

    “Feeling beautiful has nothing to do with what you look like.” - Emma Watson.I WANTED THE ground to open up and swallow me. Because a guy had been dared to kiss the least attractive girl in the room, and he was heading towards me. Brittany saying ‘least attractive’ was putting it mildly. I was pretty sure she wanted to say ‘the ugliest girl.’ And to this guy, I was the ugliest girl.Wouldn’t you want the same if you were in my shoes?It seemed like everything was happening in an awful slow motion as I watched.Maisie, are you just going to sit here and allow him to kiss you, branding you as the ugliest girl in school? Are you just going to sit here and allow him steal your first kiss at this awful party that you were dragged to? I asked myself.No. I didn't want that. That would definitely suck. I wanted my first kiss to be with someone special; and not during a lame game at a lame party.So I did the only thing I could think of at that moment in time. I ran.I abruptly got up, an

    “We can’t hate ourselves into a version of ourselves we can love.” –Lori Deschene. MY HEART WAS pounding. My palms were getting sweaty, and I was biting my lower lips. I didn't agree to this. I didn't want to do this but it seemed like my opinion didn't matter. For some reason, Avery was adamant about coming to the party and now, we're here, right outside Ray's house. Avery interlocked her hand with mine as we walked towards the house. I was still in my sweater and denim pants while Avery was dressed in black leather pants, ankle boots and brown leather jacket. It was way past 9 pm and I can think of way better things I could be doing than to be here. Not to mention that this was my very first high school party. I'd never been invited to things like this, and I wasn't invited to this one either. Avery dragged me along. "I don't think this is a good idea, Ave. Let's go back." I stopped walking, trying to dissuade her for the last time. "We are already here, Maiz. Let's have f

    "So the question is, which boulder are you going to choose to roll? The 'must lose weight' boulder or the 'fuck you I will boldly, defiantly accept the body I've got and LIVE IN IT boulder.'" -- Kate Harding. "ARE YOU SURE you have the right address?" Mom asked for the second time, turning to look at me with a weird look on her face. It looked like a mixture of confusion and awe.My gaze moved from the view behind her to meet her eyes. I didn't answer the first time she asked and I still wasn't sure about the answer now. I looked at the address Avery texted me and back at the house -- no, mansion. "Yes, I think so. "I could totally understand why she was skeptical. Even I was skeptical about being at the right address. We were in some rich neighborhood and we were parked in front of a gated mansion. I knew they were rich, I mean, I could tell from the way they dressed and the car they drove, but I didn't think they were this rich. The house looked like one of those chaebol mansions

    “And I said to my body softly, ‘I want to be your friend.’ It took a long breath and replied, ‘I have been waiting my whole life for this.’” -- Nayirrah Waheed.“YOU ARE GOING on a blind date.” My mom announced over breakfast the next day.The coffee that was going down my throat went through the wrong pipe and I started to cough.Mom passed me a glass of water and I took a sip in a bid to ease my cough. She stood up from her chair and came to pat my back softly to ease it.When it seemed I had recovered, she returned to her seat.“Sorry, what?” Was all I managed to say.Mom continued eating like she didn’t just detonate a bomb. “You heard me.”No, I didn’t think I did. Maybe my brain was still fuzzy since I woke up about an hour ago. “You’re going on a blind date?” I asked her. I hoped that was what she had said and not what my brain thought she said. She dropped her fork and stared at me. “No. You. You are the one going on a blind date. Not me.”“Me?” My right hand rested on my ch

  • His Marshmallow   Chapter Eleven

    “You can’t hate yourself happy. You can’t criticize yourself thin. You can’t shame yourself worthy. Real change begins with self-love and self-care.”— Jessica Ortner.“WHAT IS GOING ON here?” Alex’s voice was firm and strong as he spoke.Even though I wasn't happy that he had shown up, it was nice to witness the Bs' shocked expressions as they turned to see who it was.“Alex!” Betty gasped, exchanging questioning glances with her group.“Fancy seeing you here, Alex.” Brittany said flirtatiously.Alex merely waited, staring at them with an expressionless face. His expression revealed nothing to me, so I had no idea what he was thinking. A few beats of silence went by before he spoke once more. "I ask again: ‘What is going on here?’"“His accent is so hot. I can’t get over it.” Bianca whispered a little too loudly to Betty. I had to resist rolling my eyes.Then the Bs realised that until they gave him an answer, he probably wouldn’t have a conversation with them.“Oh, yeah, that.” Britt
