Love Notes..

"Maybe some girls just weren't meant to look pretty "..

"Bethany!!".. Came Lisa's voice for the 4th time in the past 5 minutes. That had become a norm for the two eversince Donovan had passed on two years and 3 months ago.Bethany pranced across the room a couple of times weighing up her options.she couldn't bare bright colours or miniskirts and lipgloss.she preferred safe ,simple and.. Safe.once satisfied with baggy sweat pants,long sleeved in commando with black pumps, Beth hurried off to check herself on the mirror at the door .Not too shabby, she remarked, inspecting her every angle. She wasn't revealing any skin ,nothing hugged her body and defs wasn't going to make her stand out.everything was safe and perfect ,except for.. The pimples on the cheeks . Bethany winced at the sight of them.Lisa had told her to calm it seeing that many other teens in her class ( not to mention the majority population of the school) had them,drama teacher included." But still", Bethany had replied.All the popular girls weren't included in that census. Must've been all those skin whitening products they could've used. Even the popular girls that did have pimples couldn't be included in that census because they had a beauty and influence that covered up for  the poppers on their faces.it was the make-up.. It had to be make-up.
Beth ran a pale palm over her left cheek noting each pimple.Maybe some girls just weren't meant to look pretty. With One more glance she sighed heavily and left her room.
Down,Lisa exchanged a smug with her daughter who  grabbed a stub of fruit flesh from the fruit salad bowl standing at the table."what are you wearing? " came Lisa's words cold and sharp.Beth just glanced at her for a second, shrugged and then reached for a cereal bowl, now adjusting in a chair."Beth baby,this isn't the way to go.no!.why hide your amazing self in baggy,bulky ,unattractive curtains when you could be out there slaying?" Lisa ,approaching the table ,also reached for an Apple cube before brushing up against her kid,running her soft warm fingers into Bethany's auburn strands. "I'm very comfortable and satisfied with what I wear,mom."
Lisa rolled her eyes and smoothed her hands on the top of Bethany's head. "I want you to look like your average female mates in school.wear dresses or those skinny pants you kids call 'trendy'."
Bethany paused to sharply glare at her absurd mother,"I'm not like any other girl!and I like it that way .now leave me alone!"
And she was right about that;she wasn't like any of the other girls in school.Nothing like Cassi AkA Cassandra ,who rocked just about anything and everything. She didn't match Cassi's cheerleader galpals .she was so distinct... In a bad way,like for example, when she and Cassi were walking in the hallway later that morning Cassi would be the one  to receive cool remarks and signature  gestures from some of the most popular kids in higher grades.All Beth received were pitiful 'oh's and funny stares.By break she was just invisible;seated on the sidewalk at the grounds bathing in the warm April sun.it gently touched the pale skin on her face and her fingers,rested on the bench ,relaxed at the soothing sensation of pure serene and bliss.she shut her eyes and sat patiently.cassi was out on the pitch having cheerleading prac .somewhere on the same appetizingly green lawn the sport teams were undergoing strict training for the upcoming sport championship .Bethany didn't get the point of all of this.to her it was just a bunch of pretentious people trying to gain attention. It wasnt as bad as the group of shrieking wannabes from junior high checking out the sport jocks in training gear.This one little girl nearly died when soccer superstar Liam Pryce paraded past, sweaty vest exposing him almost completely,winking in their directon.
"You ladies OK?",he remarked,slowing down his pace so as to properly analyse his target market.
What came out of the girls as a response drowned in their shrieks and screams, which he had fully anticipated.A whistle was blown alerting Liam to get back,but before he turned to leave he mildly nodded at Bethany who ,in shock,just stared back." Ms Wilson.. ",his words were.
Awfully weird .
Is it normal for school celebrities to associate ,better yet,remember the names of the " DUFFs"?...
No way.This was like a milestone.
Perhaps Duff's could also be familiar with the popular guys.
The moment ,as much as it triggered some funny feeling in Beth ,resulted in an uproar from the guys' group when Liam'd  traced his sprints back to their circle...
