Chapter two

'A new day, a new beginning' at least that's how the story goes. I hate school days but what can I do? I need to pass through school, get my masters and degrees so I can be respected.

I picked out a blue short and black singlet with a black jacket. I hate my school Levis High, why? You'll find out soon enough.

I got dressed, put on make up, my day hasn't started until I wear make up and I never leave my room without wearing a concealer, foundation, mascara and some lip gloss. I'm as ugly as I can be but no one needs to know that.

I was ready so I head downstairs, I saw mom and greeted her but she ignored me, I would have hugged her but the last time I went two feet close to her, I was hospitalized for a week and I don't want that happening again.

Breakfast was served so I dug in.

"Did I make breakfast for you? If you want breakfast can't you come make it yourself." She said as I took the last bit of pancake and slowly downed the last of my orange juice.

"And you have the guts to eat what was left!" She took off her flip flops, I knew what came next so I quickly grabbed my school bag and the lunch on the table, I bolted out the door as fast as I could.

"Come back here!! That's my son's lunch you took." She yelled from behind me.

The school bus came right on time, I quickly got in, I was safe in here.

"Is there a day your mom won't yell after you?" The bus driver asked with a raised brow instead of replying I just ignored him and took a seat.

Adam entered the bus and gave me a stern look. "My lunch?" He asked with his hand stretched. I just handed it to him, I didn't want any drama I just wanted him to speak to me again, even if its one word and finally it happened.

It's been two months since he last spoke to me, its unbearable.

My life is sad and pathetic, I have no one, no friends, no family, and boyfriend... that's far from me.

I don't even know what I want to do with my life. The bus started moving and we head to school but made a few stops to pick the others.

****

We got to the school parking lot and got down from the bus. I waited till everyone got out before I did, don't ask why.

I marched inside the school and to my locker.

"What name shall I give you? Hmmm." Ben asked, he's new but he's on the football team so he joined them, the bullies.

"Murderer? No, that's not it." Word must have gotten to him, why am I not surprised, everyone who walks this hallway knows what happened right years ago.

"The girl who got her sister paralyzed or what exactly should I call you?" He asked tauntily.

"How about Alexia?" I slammed my locker shut and glared at him. The topic always leave a pang in my chest, it was her fault she attacked me first.

"That's a pretty name for a person like you." I just ignored him, I walked past him just for him to pull me back.

"I'm not done, you don't walk away from me!" His grip on my arm tightened and I let out a grown, I tried prying his hands off my arm but he wouldn't budge.

"Tell me something, was your sister so bad that you decided to put her in a wheelchair?"

"It was an accident and it was her fault not mine." I successfully pried his hand of mine and his hand made contact with my cheeks.

"Woah bro! You don't hit a lady like that....let me show you how it's done." Bryan the football captain said and punched me hard in the face.

I saw Adam, we locked eyes and I looked pleasingly at him wishing for him to stand up for me but he broke contact and walked away.

"I wonder how you truly look without make up, I heard you're uglier than a troll." Brian chuckled.

"She can't be that ugly." Ben said staring intently at me, I covered my chest and Btian pulled me hard slamming my face against my locker. Minutes later my make up was gone and they were all shocked.

None of them have seen me without make up so their expression is very much expected.

"How can someone be this ugly?" Brian asked horrified.

"Wow! How did you get so ugly? Were you born this way?" Cole asked amazed.

"Do you happen to carry more makeup with you?" I looked at Brian and I felt tears roll down my cheeks.

I pushed him away and exited the school. I went to the oak tree behind the school and sat that, knees to my chest, head buried on my knees and I cried my heart out.

I cried till I had no tears left, what did I ever do to deserve this? I'm not even that ugly, who am I kidding.

I cried till I was satisfied, I heard footsteps approaching, I turned the other way and wiped my tears with my jacket.

"Hey." I heard a husky voice say, it sent chills to my spine. I raised my head slowly and saw....I saw a handsome, gorgeous guy that I wanted to eat up. My God we was hot and perfect, had a good physique, his jaws could cut through steel.

I eye raped him happily, after some seconds of just staring at him I noticed he had his arms stretched with a handkerchief in his hand, I took it from him and properly wiped my face. He sat next to me and I smiled goofily.

Looks like my day is about to take a turn for the better. "Do you always skip class?" He finally asked after a few moment of silence.

"Not always."

"Why didn't you fight back?" I looked at him like he had grown another pair of head.

"You want me to take on three guys that are twice my size?" I asked just to be sure I understood him right.

"Yeah you can totally take 'em." I gave him a weird look before going back to sulking. He's insane! They'll beat me to the point of no return.

"I'm Aaron."

"Alexia."

"Nice to meet you." I looked at him weirdly and replied.

"Same here."

"How about you go back to class, it's not good to ditch class."

"You think I don't know that? And you want me to go looking like this? Not going to happen." I am not a Murderer but I'm quite stubborn.

"You can't change how you look by applying make up every single time, accept the reality, your reality, own it and make a difference." He got up and walked away. I must say he'll make a great motivational speaker.

After apprehending what he said, I took a deep breathe and got up. I grabbed my bag and walked back into school and to my first class, the class will end soon so that's a good thing.

Everyone started whispering as I walked into class.

"Miss Miller, nice of you to finally join us, have a seat." The whispers didn't stop in fact it got louder.

"....and I was about to go ask her out, I didn't know she was this ugly."

"From now on I'll demand I see ladies face before I ask them out."

"Make up should be banned."

"Silence!!!!" Mr Jon stipulated.

"What the heck is that?" I heard the class captain ask.

"Didn't you hear the troll and dwarf had a baby." The class erupted in laughter. I took used my Jacket to cover my face and sank in my seat.

"Thanks for doing us the favor." Claire, the school bitch said.

"Stop mocking her appearance, she looks better than some of you." Mr jon said in an attempt to silence them.

"Is there another form of ugliness? Sir can you please name those that is uglier than her, I'd li—"

"Shaun! You'll get out of my class if you continue running your mouth like a broken tap, imbecile." He immediately shut his trap and after a few seconds of silence Mr jon continued his lecture.

Accept the reality! Own it! Make a difference! I kept saying to myself.

I can do this, I took in a deep breathe and raised my head, I got a few weird looks and immediately dropped it back. This sucks big time.

Why did that douchebag have to pick on me, if he hadn't this wouldn't have happened, no one would have had to see me like this, he just loves to see me in pain doesn't he and he just resumed school, what an ass if anything I'm the one that's supposed to bully him but he is on the football team, no one can bully him except Brian.

Jocks are like mini gods here, I hate my life, suicide seems like a very good option right now, but I don't want to die. Should I run away? But where will I go? I don't have anyone not do I have money. I can't get a part time job either, tried but got fired a few days later. The owner said I was scaring away all his customers, I felt like a bull dog or some kind of diseased animal at that moment.

Rumors will soon spread like wildfire I know it, I'm sure they are already wracking their brains of a huge lie to tell about me, humiliation and shame isn't always far from me.

I tried to listen to what mr jon was saying thankfully I succeeded.

"Why did you do it? You know, put your sister in a wheelchair, paralyze her?" Jane the school magazine head asked, giving her any sort of reply would be one of the biggest mistakes of my life, knowing that I just ignored her.

"Was it 'cause she is prettier than you?" I kept on my breakable mask, didn't give her any sort of response or react to her question, I just kept my focus on mr jon.

"Jane I'm over here." Mr jon said, she turn around to face him and I let out an inaudible sigh.

At least I'm supposed to have a bestfriend, at least but no one wants to have anything to do with me, I mean I'm ugly yeah so what that doesn't mean I'm not a person right? Ugh.
