Later that day, I asked Qiana who the rude, extremely rude, guy was; the same guy who was only pretending to be nice.

And I quote what she said, "he is the player of the school. You know, the one who's hot and breaks girls' heart. I'm not in the list though. I'm pretty much the nerd type. And I am glad. It's a luck, you know. Atleast I won't have my heart broken by a dumb guy. And his name is Sebastian."

Sebastian.

He broke my heart only because I wasn't beautiful in his eyes. It wasn't hard to remark this after what Qiana told me. And the thought itself broke my heart again and again.

It broke my heart because clearly appearances held more importance to those proud and cruel persons. They were never going to let me breathe in peace and the certainty with which I was thinking about this, scared me.

I could only ponder to what extent I would be able to take all in, like a strong person, before breaking into shards.
