Her painful comeback

Her Life

All she ever wanted to be is to be loved by everyone. My name is Erica, I'm 16 years old, and I live in a normal home who has high expectations of me as I am the oldest siblings. I have amazing friends who give me all the love and care a friend is supposed to give, I also give back the same love and care to them.

Ever since I was a child, all my friends were accepted by society except me. By society, I mean looks. They fit into today's beauty standards. Looks are always overlooked than personality. Everyone once to be friends and date a pretty girl. I always found myself unattractive because I didn't match the beauty standards and also people's opinions about my beauty. In 1st grade, we had a substitution list. Basically, whenever our teacher was absent, we were assigned to teachers who we were supposed to go to when our teacher was absent. Each learner had their own teacher they were assigned to. One day, my 1st grade teacher was absent, so I had to go to the teacher I was assigned to in the substitution list. I knocked on the door, trembling as it was my first time going there, and I was nervous because I did not know anyone in that class. The teacher answered, "come in" in a calm tone and I felt at ease for a moment until I looked at the class and majority of the boys, the popular boys started screaming and make weird noise to make fun of me.

Then they started to sing this song, and that is a girl's worst thing they could listen to. It went like this, "Hello friends (one guy would say that), Hello(the rest of the guys would greet back, Is Erica pretty? (one guy would ask that question), and if you were pretty, the rest of the guys would say "yes" but if you were not the rest of the guys would say "no". Unfortunately for me, the guys said no, and they started laughing at me. It was in a different language, so the teacher could not understand what they were saying.

I felt so heartbroken, it felt like someone took my heart away from me and started to rip it apart infront of me, I struggled to hold my tears back because I knew that if I cried, they would make more fun of me and call me a "crybaby" so I just layed on my arms to hide myself from shame and embarrassment. I would never wish that kind experience to my worst enemy. That moment will live me for the rest of my life until I die.

That was just an introduction of my life. It might seem my life is all about my worst experiences, but trust me, it is not it also has the best and most amazing experiences I will never forget about ever. I hope you like it and stay tuned for part two.
