BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (A TWISTED VERSION) ONGOING

Chapter 4

Amber Heard is so pretty, wish I looked like her.

KENDAL

They actually left me alone yesterday, no insults, no punishment, no physical abuse, no nothing, I ate like I hadn't eaten for years and they couldn't stop, you want to know why? because they were not at home, gosh I had never felt so happy in my entire life, they didn't bother leaving a note for me to know where they could be but I could care less, I was free, I was finally free even though it was for just one night, I would gladly enjoy it why it lasted. Right now I'm in my bathroom getting ready for school, not that I put much effort anyway but I still need to keep clean right, when I was done taking my shower, I decided to look at myself in the mirror, I want to know why people despise me so much, why they treat me like they do, I look at the mirror and examine myself properly, my dark brown hair could need a haircut and a good brushing, it actually looks like a lions mane now that I see it, I have little red pimples on my face, not much enough to disgust people but they are still visible, I take a look at my body, I'm not the tinniest girl on earth but I am not the fattest either, sure I have a little tummy fat but I don't have a very big tummy either, I do have full laps and wide hips, and I do have ok size boobs, not too big but not too small either, to me my body is ok? although it could use some work like toning and losing some fat but its ok, I look into my eyes, they are the darkest shade of blue you could ever see, but if you get the lighting right, you will see sparkling ocean blue eyes, when I was younger, people always told me that I have beautiful eyes, almost like my eyes was the most attractive part of me because of their color and shape, they say that my doe shaped eyes with the color when used right can get me out of a lot of situations, they say that it gives me this innocent look, too bad I hide them behind ugly black rimmed glasses now. I shake my head at my reflection still trying to know why people hate but right now I don't give a damn, they can do what they want to me but I won't break, I should have broken a long time ago but I never gave up and I will never give up for as long as I live.

I finish getting ready for school and go downstairs, I look around to see if they have gotten home yet but they haven't, thank God, I go to the kitchen and help myself to a healthy breakfast of pancakes with maple syrup and some fruits, I haven't enjoyed breakfast like this for a while, I sit back on my sit and rub my bloated stomach, that hit the spot, I sit on the table for a while before I get up and make my way outside, it isn't raining but the sky isn't bright, still a bit dull but good enough for me. I start walking towards school feeling lighter than normal, I don't mean in weight but in my heart, I don't know why but I feel like today is going to be a good day, that was until a car passed by me and splashed mud water on my shoes, so much for a good day. The person stops and rolls down the glass,

"Oh my God, I'm so sorry about that, are you alright?" I look up and see Mason Colton, really, why him of all people, first Noah, now him, "Yeah I'm ok, you don't need to worry about it"I continue walking until he stops me again, "Hey, why don't I give you a lift to school, you know since we go to the same school and all" I look at him weirdly, okay I wander why all of a sudden they are being nice to me, what is really going on? "Is it okay with you?" "I did ask didn't I?" I just shake my head a bit and enter with him.

We drive of to school and get there ten minutes before class starts, as we step down from the car, I can see people whispering and pointing at us, I really shouldn't have followed him, we walk into the school and the whispering continues

What is she doing with Mason?

How dare she, doesn't she know her place?

What a bitch?

Why is Mason walking with her?

Not only is she a beast but a witch too

What an opportunist

The gossip continues all around me, I'm about to leave Mason's side but he stops me and puts his arm around my shoulders, this earns a gasp from everyone around us and the whispering becomes louder, I duck my head down while we continue walking, "Mason, why are you walking with this thing?" I lift my head up in surprise to see Ashley looking at me with disgust, where was she last night?

"Whats it to you?" he says back with a scowl on his face, "You can't be seen with her, she's a nobody and you being with her will ruin your reputation, our reputation" he rolls his eyes at her and side steps her with me still with him, he just mutters selfish bitch loud enough for her to hear and we walk off.

"So whats your first class?" I look up at him, why is he being nice to me? "I have biology now" "Wow, same with me, we can walk together" "Why are you being nice to me? you never gave a damn about me before, you even used to pull some pranks on me, you are practically one of my bullies, so why all of a sudden are you even talking to me?" he shakes his head at me, he was about to say something but the bell rang but luckily we had already gotten there, "I actually don't know why to tell you the truth, but I do know that I want to be your friend now, it isn't good enough because of all the things I have done to you but please give me a chance" he says then walks into the class, well that wasn't expected, I let out a sigh and walk into the class.

After the class, I was as usual the first one to leave, its a force of habit because if others leave before me, they can easily bully me and I really don't want to get bullied, I quickly make my way to my chemistry class and go to my table. I look to my side and see Drew already working on his work sheet, I just take out mine and get to work. After sometime, I hear Drew groan but I ignored it, I then feel someone poke me on the arm and I look at Drew with an eyebrow raised, "Uhmm, could you explain number 20 for me, I'm kinda stuck" I look at him weirdly, this is the first time he is asking me for anything since he became my lab partner, even since attend this class together, I just look at what he is doing and correct him, "You are supposed to find the mass for the pure substance before using the formula" "Oh right, I get it now, thanks" I nod at him and get back to my work. We continue our work in silence until the bell rings, I submit my work and quickly head out of the classroom before anyone else, "Yo beast, wait up" I turn and look at Drew running towards me to catch up, this makes people in the hall way give questioning looks, "Do you want to hang out later after school, we are going to Mason's house later so I was wandering if you could come along?" I was shocked out of my mind, DREW JACKSON JUST ASKED ME TO HANG OUT WITH HIM IN MASON'S HOUSE, something is definitely wrong, people that never gave a damn about my existence are inviting me to hang out with them, "Uhmm, sure, why not, see you later" he nods and turns around, living me to my thoughts, why are they suddenly being nice to me? what is happening?
