The "Perfect" Acne Story (On Hold)

🌹Three 🌹

Hello again my fellow readers. I hope you guys had a wonderful day.

I actually like to look for quotes to motivate myself. I was looking at some and found this. If you ever feel depressed about the way you look or how you are shape, I hope this quote is able to help you out.

'Stop hating yourself for everything you aren't

and start loving yourself for everything you already are.'

Once that recognizable denim jacket came into view, I darted out from there without even giving a farewell to Mr. Richard which cause him to be taken aback by my action. Oh well I'll explain to him the next time.

Seriously though, I was loss for words because I absolutely have no clue on what came over me. Maybe it was because he was hanging with Evan's group this morning, he sure did witness the entertaining scene Melissa put up. Great, another person to add on my list to make fun of my full of hideous pimple face.

After Chemistry, I went to my next few class and how overjoyed I was to know that I didn't have Denim boy in any of them. Lunch time came around, dragging my feet to the cafeteria I ordered my usual. Thanking the grumpy old cafeteria lady, I took the tray of food and went ahead to look for an empty table, but a red hair girl bobbing her head with her headphones on caught my attention. With the tray of food in hand, I stride over to her table plopping down on to the seat next to her. My sudden action cause her light brown eyes to turn towards me added with her famous bored face. It took her a second to realise it was me before offering me a broad grin that could almost split her mouth.

"ROSE I MISSED YOU!" burst Alex, loudly because of having her headphones on. Wincing, I told her to tone down her voice with moving my hands down then looking around to see that some people were already looking at our table giving us disapproving looks. This made Alex blush beet red, "Sorry," she said sheepishly taking her headphones down in the process.

Alexis Knight, the only friend I had in Edgewood high who doesn't condemn my face. Like her last name Knight, she was indeed my knight in shining amour saving me from the hurtful insults thrown my way. I met Alex in freshman year when Melissa unfriend me because of my acne, she even defended me when Melissa make fun of me in front the whole school. That was when I knew she was worth the keep.

"So how was your trip in Japan?" taking a bite of sandwich after questioning her, she just came back from her trip to Japan yesterday.

"It was great!" Alex continued with excitement in her voice,"The scenery at Mount Fuji was breath-taking. Oh, Oh and the food there was definitely delectable, I still can feel the taste lingering on my.........." Alex ramble on about her trip as I munch on my sandwich. Suddenly, I felt a tick of itchiness on the left side of my cheek, my guess was it came from one of the cyst acne(it is painful at the same time) , it was getting irritating by each moment making it hard to listen to Alex because I had an urged to scratch it. Not caring if my hands are dirty anymore, I decided to make the itchiness go away even if it makes it bleed.

Alex seems to catch on what I was going to do while explaining halfway about some anime shop she visited in Japan, before I could take action Alex cut in," Rose, what the hell? Do not do that, it will make it worst." She hurriedly take hold of my hand and push it down to my lap which made me sulked. " How many times do I have to tell you not to that?" Alex scolded, "Rose, have you been following my rules on Acne? Remember Rule 3: Never scratch your acne with dirty hands." Yes, Alex did create a rule book on what to do with my acne, but most of the time I don't really follow (don't tell her that).

I gave her a silly smile and earn a frustrated huff from her. In the end Alex just gave me a pointed look warning me not to do that again, well she didn't know I can still do it at home. For a moment there I thought she was going to lecture me more on my acne when she change the subject,"So, do you know there is this new kid at school" resuming back to her uneaten lunch she asked me.

"Yes, saw him this morning. Why?" I asked.

"He is one handsome guy, I'm telling you," picking up a fry then throwing back to its original place, she push the tray away from her. "Urgh, the food here never pleases me. Next time remi-" she stopped talking when she look up straight ahead, I see her whole body froze which made me gave her a quizzical look from the side. She snapped her head to me, her eyes wide and unblinking she spoke," Do you know him? Because, I sure don't"

"No."

"Then tell me why is he walking towards our table?"

"What?" disbelieved, I rotate my head to look in front of me. Surprise, surprise, I know that denim jacket anywhere. I didn't get to look at him this morning so this time I got a better view of denim boy as he near our table, Alex was right he was handsome. No, he was extremely gorgeous. He has the most shimmering sea blue eyes with a hue of green in it making me want to drown myself in the blue-green eyes of his, his body? Lean and muscular, even though his white t-shirt is covering his body, there was no doubt that the six pack is underneath it. If I have an out of body experience, I would see two shameless drooling girls staring at the guy in front of them.

Denim boy stopped at our table, he gave us a tight smile. When he open his mouth to speak, a deep, silky voice flow through my ears sending a shiver down my spine, "Hello ladies, mind if I join you ?"

Alex was fast to react and answered enthusiastically, " Sure! Sure! Take a seat we don't mind."

"Thanks."

Looking down I stare at my sandwich and munch on it silently. One thing I didn't want denim boy is to look at my unattractive face, secondly I was too shy to look at him. I could feel him staring at my bend head as he sat down, beside me Alex started,"So, why'd you made the choice to finish senior year here in Edgewood?" Her question got his attention as he shift his head to give her a response.

"Well," he began," My grandpa is sick and made my mom worried, so we decide to move back here to look after him."

He lives here before? I wondered.

As if Alex is able to read my mind, she continued to interrogate him," You live here before?"

"Yeah I did, moved away when I was ten."

They exchange a few questions about school and other stuff about Edgdewood. I noticed denim boy stole a few glances my way while trying to answer the questions shoot by Alex. I was lost in thoughts shutting myself away from their conversation when his concern voice broke my reverie," Urm...." he hesitated before saying," I want to apologize on behalf Evan and his girlfriend behaviour for both yesterday and today," he paused," you didn't deserve it."

Rapidly lifting my head up, I stare into those caring mesmerizing sea blue eyes which were staring back at me.
