Beautiful - Tiana

Here's your Tiana oneshot @Cray-Z-Wierdo!

--------------------------------------------

Biana had one goal in her life, and that was to be beautiful. To look pretty, to look gorgeous, to look stunning at all times.

She showed up to school in the shiniest jewelry, the most expensive shoes, the prettiest lip gloss, the coolest makeup look. Even her pajamas were beautiful, pink and made of silk.

She tried to impress everyone with her hair, her 'perfect' skin, her body, her makeup, her beauty, because honestly, that's all she was good for.

Beauty.

Obviously, she didn't like it, but it was true. Beauty was her power. It was her life. It was her purpose. Of course she didn't want it to be, but it was.

Biana stared at her reflection in the mirror. No makeup, no fancy hair, no jewelry.

Her skin had a few pimples and wasn't extremely smooth because of all the makeup. Her hair was pulled up into a messy bun (no, not a cute little bun, a very messy bun), and she wore a simple long gray tunic and black leggings.

I look horrible.

She started applying concealer and foundation, covering her dark circles and imperfections. Mascara went on her already long lashes, eyeshadow on the eyelids, lipstick on the lips. Blush and eyeliner, highlights and contouring. 

Biana changed into a sparkling teal tunic with a pretty golden pattern that brought out her eyes and gold heels. She twisted her hair into a French braid with gold hairpins.

She looked back at the mirror and smiled.

I look beautiful.

Biana heard a knock on the door. "Come in." She said, capping her lip gloss.

The door opened and Biana saw in her mirror who had arrived. A boy with dark hair and silver tips, dressed in a black tunic. A boy with silver eyes and a soft smile.

"Tam?"

"Hey, Biana." He shifted uncomfortably.

"What are you doing here?"

"Uh..."

"Did something happen?" She asked.

His head was tilted down so she couldn't see his face. His hands were jammed in his pockets, staring at his shoes.

"Tam." She said, raising her voice. "What happened?"

"Nice outfit. Do you always chill wearing fancy clothes and makeup?"

"No." Biana scoffed. "Of course not."

"Then why are you wearing that fancy stuff?"

"Because I can." She snapped, glad that Tam couldn't see her. Her face was completely red. She probably looked like a tomato.

"And you're changing the subject." She pointed out. "WHAT HAPPENED?"

"I love this nightlight." Tam turned around and inspected her shiny purple lamp in a corner by her bed.

"Oh, shut up. What the hell is going on?"

"Your Imparter is beautiful, where did you get it?" Tam murmured, pretending to be interested in her Imparter.

"The same place you did." Biana rolled her eyes.

"I love this Nexus." He opened her drawer. "It's just gorgeous."

"Tam." She started to get irritated.

"Awesome necklace too." Tam held up a gold necklace with a sparkling pendant.
