All her life she was "that girl". The quiet one. The independent one. The one who kept to herself. The mystery girl. She walked alone and she was ok with that.
It was the day she woke up feeling different, that she knew something changed. But what changed? She woke up and went about her everyday routine. When it came time to looking in the mirror she found out what changed
She looked in the mirror and saw it. She saw a girl so beautiful, so intelligent, she saw her own reflection. She finally gained confidence and a higher self-esteem. She was now able to stand infront of the mirror, stare at her reflection with her head held high, and repeat "I am beautiful".
She arrived to school and knew it was going to better. Waiting outside her class, it was then that she saw him... the boy she's always been crazy about, the boy who's never given her the time of day because she always hid behind her books. Today will be different. Today is the day she puts her past aside and goes after what she wants.
After class she hurried down the hall in search of him. With disappointment of not seeing him, she turned around and he was there. Standing 2ft away. Looking at her as if she were the only girl around.
Not thinking, or second guessing herself, she went up to him and told him how she felt. Just as she suspected, he didn't say a word, but just stared at her with a startled confused look. As she turned around heading back to reality, he called after her, grabed her by the hand, pulled her in close and whispered "its about time".
