Amelia's POV
Flashback: 2 years ago
The deep slumber of mine disrupted by the displeasing sound of my alarm clock placed on my nightstand. Groaning, I woke up the soft plush blanket pooling around my waist. I felt the same gloominess and dullness encompassing me.
Shutting the alarm off, I advanced towards the bathroom observing the image formed in the mirror placed above the sink countertop. My eyes dully focusing on the features of my body.
The plump face of mine consisting of acne, dusted my cheeks and foreheads, a few scattered over my chin. My double chin held beneath my face. My tedious brown orbs surrounded by intense dark circles. My flabby arms, thick thighs, and belly can be considered on the verge of obesity.
I didn't like anything about my body. Nothing at all. There is barely anything to like about me. I am the epitome of ugliness. I hated every cell in my body. Nobody could hate me as I do.
I loathe myself.
Letting a loose sigh from my lips I stepped in the shower. Letting the blistering hot water cascade down my body. I felt calm while showering, my mind became lighter and bearable. I found my comfort in the steaming colorless liquid and darkness. Those were exclusively where I let my guard down.
Involuntarily tears flowed down my face. Insecurity and self-hatred enveloping and so tightly wound around me. I felt breathless. They both were my companions I became accustomed to living with.
"AMELIA WHEN ARE YOU PLANNING TO GET UP? HURRY UP BEFORE YOU GAIN EXTRA POUNDS BY OVERSLEEPING. " My mother yelled from downstairs. Her voice vague due to the sprinkling water but one would not fail to recognize the disappointment and hatred laced in them.
Her morning would be fragmentary without passing a body-shaming comment towards myself. Trying to push her words away, I hurried in putting on my uniform and padding my way towards the dining room where Dada was seated at the head of the table. Placing a chaste kiss on Dada's cheek I sat on his right murmuring a small morning his way.
"Good Morning, Sunshine." He smiled.
Grabbing a plate I spotted Ashton gracing us with his presence. He and Dada were the only two people who gave me slices of joy and fulfillment in the household. Ashton was my closest friend and more importantly the best twin I could receive. We were opposites both socially and physically.
He had Dada's silver-grey eyes and physique, whereas I had Mama's muddy brown orbs. I was the exact photocopy of Mama whereas Ashton was the youthful version of Dada. I was just the uglier version.
Ashton was the typical high school heartthrob. He had the looks as well as the brains. Nerdy and a beautiful soul. He had a massive social circle unlike me. Initially, I envied Ashton. Envied of open and friendly he could be. Envied his academic skills. Envied that he was the more loved one by mama. Envied that he never had issues like I had. Envied that he wasn't a problem like I was to everybody.
I am always.
Ashton and I, after breakfast headed to school. We walked to school every day it was a half an hour walk to The Westbell High School. The place I dreaded the most and no one knew about it. No one. I felt nauseated entering the hallways. My stomach churning as I breathed in the atmosphere. Suffocated. I felt suffocated.
"Mel, see you after fourth. Kay? I gotta go and meet the guys" Ash murmured, giving me a peck on the cheek he rushed to his group.
The popular one.
It consisted of all the hot guys and the pretty girls. Typical. I stuck to my friends the ones who I know were beautiful inside out. Giving the group the last look I headed towards my locker. Punching in the combination and keeping the rest of my books in them.
"Millieeeee!" A loud bolting voice yelled. My name nearly echoing through the corridor. I knew that voice with the blink of an eye. Livy. It was Livy's voice. I smiled my heart expanding with happiness at thought of seeing her after a long summer break.
Hurriedly closing my locker I turned to greet her but was shoved on the lockers by Olivia's bear hug.
"C..an..t br..ea..the.Mer..cy" I begged Livy's a bear hug crushing the living daylights out of me. I sucked in a large amount of air after being released by her.
"Aww, my baby missed me so much. My bear hugs aren't that hard, jeez." She smiled. Shooting her daggers I finally stabilized my breathing only for it to go downhill again by Theo's hug. His was worst I could practically hear my bones crack.
What a way to begin a new academic year in school.
"Chicaaaa, my only friend, my only true friend. I was dying without seeing you for nearly 8 weeks." He cried out in bliss releasing me from the deadly hug.
"Next time warn me if you two conspire to kill me!!" I panted like a dog. They both just laughed like asses.
"Chica, our hugs aren't deadly." He grinned elbowed Livy's stomach earning a hard smack on his head.
"Yeah, right," I muttered sarcastically. "Let's head to the assembly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Welcome back children. Hope you all enjoyed your summer. You all are now sophomores of high school and are expected to behave like one. This year holds many responsibilities and opportunities for each present here at Westbell High. Most of you have earned your seats in the electives chosen by you and we had informed your parents. The others will be called for a meeting with me. Dismiss." Principal Bolton announced.
The students dispersed, heading to the Student Information Hall collecting their respective class schedules for this academic year. I looped my hand through Livy's watching her watching Theo collect our year schedule from Miss Bentley.
"So he asked you out?" I spoke breaking her dreamy gaze. It was obvious they had a thing for each other. One would be blind if failed to see the love oozing from them towards each other.
"No, I overheard him speaking to Maddie about someone special he's soon gonna propose. I have a feeling it ain't me." She sadly pouted.
I felt like smacking her head to Jupiter she is the special one. Theo requested me and Maddie not to tell her anything since he was planning a perfect time to confess.
"Oh! Where's Maddie?" I asked trying to change the topic.
"She's down with severe fever." Aww, my poor baby. I miss her so much.
"Okay so according to these schedules. WE ARE IN THE SAME CLASSSSSSSS!!" Theo yelled, attracting attention from other students particularly the popular ones. The entire group sent disgusting looks towards us except Ashton.
He smiled signing I love you in American Sign Language we both learned during the vacation. I smiled even broader lifting my right hand, raising my pinky, index finger, and thumb whilst keeping the other two fingers folded and signing it back to him.
"Chica and Livy let's head to our new classroom 29. Yeet." He smiled pushing both of us girls in front of him.
It was then, that exact fucking moment I saw him entering the hallway.
The blue-eyed Adonis.
My heartbreaker.
