"Who would of ever thought you could do that." I said.
He turns to look at me, "Do what?"
"Like someone who's ugly, fat, despicable. How do you do it?" I question.
He stares at me, but I can't look at him. I wasn't good enough to look at him. The sweetest guy ever, a basketball star, a grade A student, standing here with a bookworm, a nobody, a person who you wouldn't even look twice at.
"I don't."
"Huh?"
"I don't like someone who's ugly, fat, despicable." He starts to explain, "I like someone who's beautiful, just right, and amazing in every way. And" He takes my chin in his hand and makes me look at him. "she shouldn't be insecure about anything because she's perfect."
Look into the story of a young girl, Rain Evan, trying to believe in herself and the path in which hardships and romance come in when two boys, Hale Smith and David Winchester come to help her while trying to find themselves.
Since seventh grade, Oliver Burgess has had bad acne. Like, very bad acne. The constant reminder of it from himself, and several peers, was enough to make him extremely embarrassed of it, to wish he'd have perfectly clear skin, to think he was just ugly with it. If everyone just thought it was ugly and gross, what good could ever come of it? He doubted even his best friend of over a decade, Riley McSwain, could make him feel any better about the red bumps all over his face.
To put it frankly, he never should have doubted her.
(Note: this is a short, fast-paced story, centering solely around the two main characters and their story).
