Pretty Girls

Society screwed everything up, didn't it?

We live in a world in which one gets attention on either one of two golden conditions:

1. You're dead.

2. You're attractive.

It's the sad fact and the golden truth about the world we live in. If you're not beautiful, you're a nobody. Until that day, I wasn't what society would deem as beautiful. No, I wasn't overweight. No, I didn't have a uni-brow. In fact, no, I wasn't ugly.

I was something much much worse. I was normal. There was no part of me that would've helped me stand out from the crowd of extraordinary people. I was an ordinary girl living in the shadows of what society deemed as the gods. It wasn't until that one day in which a new transfer student arrived had my life changed drastically. If he hadn't noticed me, I would still be the wallflower that never belonged in any sort of group.

However, the truth of the matter was that he did notice me and he taught me how to be pretty.

And it wasn't in the way that I had always thought it would be.

Iridessa Belle Sinclair always thought of herself as an ordinary girl. She had nothing special that would differentiate her from a group. All she had was a head of what she thought was ordinary dirty blonde hair, along with ordinary lifeless dead blue eyes in which she hid behind a pair of spectacles.

There was only one thing worse than being ugly in Crescent Grove High and that was to be ordinary. Her schoolmates stood out easily – no matter for good or for bad – but she was just there, just existing.

It wasn't until the transfer of a new student did Iridessa get a new insight into life.

Apollo Hunt, the paparazzi's favorite bad boy, rebel, and heartbreaker that had been in jail too many times. After his parents drew the last straw, they shipped him over to California to be in his relatives' care.

It was purely accidental did he bump, or literally knockdown, the innocent Iridessa that had been hidden away too well under the radar of anyone even barely beautiful. Curious of the mysterious and quiet, yet sharp-tongued student, Apollo sought out to know more about Iridessa, in which in the end promising to make her pretty.

All because he thought she was simply beautiful.
