Oka was crying, it was nothing new really. But today she looked at her reflection in the mirror and knew, she felt like she wasn't pretty.
She turned on the TV in the living room. Mrs Aishi was on, she was modeling her good looks. She paraded her surgeries throughout the show. She told girls they had to be size 1 to be pretty, that they had to have perfect skin, blonde hair, blue eyes, to be pretty.
Oka was looking at herself in the bathroom mirror with a blonde wig in her head, contacts in her eyes, and pounds of makeup on her face. She still didn't feel pretty. But others might think she was pretty. That night Oka didn't eat, neither did she the next day, or the day after, or the day after that one.
Oka kept on starving herself to be pretty. Because she NEEDED to be pretty. How was she supposed to survive in the world in she wasn't pretty? She kept on like that, until one day after school, she passed out. When she woke up...
Let's just say she wasn't at her house.
