The disgust that swole in my chest as I stare the ugly fat girl overwhelmed me. She stares back at me with equal amounts of disgust. Tears instantly blurred my vision. I hate mirrors so much. They remind me of everything i hate about my self.

Noor, my friend was petite, light-skinned and pretty. My other friend Rasma was slender, also light-skinned and beautiful, khadija was tall, beautiful and kind-hearted. Then there's me; dark-skinned, fat and ugly. A literal blob compared to their supermodel physique. It sucks. I don't even know why they became friends with me.

I love my friends alot but i envy them just as much. I want to be like them so much. But like in the movie, I was their "designated ugly fat friend".

I pulled on a long hijab and my giant jeans, plastered on my mask; My "happiest girl on earth" smile like I've always done.

'Can't let people see how pathetic you are now can we?' The voice in my head said. Ahh meet my subconscious, she is a total bitch, but she keeps me in check.

I dragged myself out of the door in hopes that some of my self loathing with float away with the breeze as i took a walk.
