As hard as a rock, that was life for a pretty little orphan named Allison.
She didn't have a last name after all she was only found at the foot steps of an orphanage.
She doesn't have much friends as other kids. As young as she is, she always believe that she wasn't enough, she knew she was unwanted.
but she didn't know she was different.
Allison was the flower in the bushes, the rose surrounded by thorns, the crystal around the rocks.
Even though she is the odd one out, she never cease to a certain person's eye.
The journey of truth, lies , boys , parents , bestfriends, school and all of you could think of in a normal teenage life.
Except that this isnt about a normal teenage girl.
Its more than that.

"You don't know me. Don't judge a book by it cover, little fairy." He said, getting closer and closer to me.
"Yeah like you don't judge me now, you don't know anything about me. Heck you don't even know anything at all." I said , pointing at him and stabbing him with my index.
He suddenly took my finger and pulled me close.
" Oh I know you, mariposa. I know everything about you, every nook and cranny, every loophole. I know." he said as he kissed the back of my hand gently.
I shoved him back and shouted.
"Get away from me you creep! After what you did today, I doubt you even know what personal space is."
"I know what it is, love, but it's fine. Isn't it? Since a hot guy is close to you and I mean what's hard to love." He pointed his stomach.
"Everything."
Then his phone rang.
"I guess times up, see you soon Mariposa."
And he left.
He'll be the death of me, I thought.
