Before I Die: The White Lotus (Flower Girls Series 1)

"I climbed my ladder, and it was filled with thorns."

Eikona mastered the art of disappearing-hiding beneath the mask she wore, living in the shadows of her friends, bending to the wills of others, and was taken advantage, countless. She became a friend to none, but a benefit to many.

A kind of girl that makes herself small for others to shine brightly, like a staff who works backstage for the actresses to shine, or the mind and the heart of a book adaptation, where she is the writer, unrecognized. A selfless girl who wears the smile that never reached her eyes. Walked in the ladder of thorns, with bloody hands and a heart with a knife embedded. All without complaint.

But when the world she builds through pleasing deteriorates, she found herself crumbling beside it. Falling into the hurricanes of her mind, losing who she really is beneath everyone else's expectations.
