“Oh, my lord. Look at how flawless Sharmey is. And, Logan! He’s like a greek god made into life. That blue eyes is drowning me. Glrg. Glrg.” The other girl said, acting as if to be underwater. The two girls giggled, and continued to praise Sharmey and Logan as they hold a stolen picture of the Collins siblings taken three months ago.
“Wait…who the hell is she?” She said pointing to the girl beside Logan and Sharmey. She was fat, has a weird red hair, her thick rimmed eyeglasses were as large as her cheeks and she was carrying an elementary bag pack for god’s sake.
“I don’t know…but, did she just come out of the car with the Collins?”
“Well, I heard, that logan and sharmey has a sister. That could be her.”
“No way.”
“But, that could also be nobody.”
“Then why is Lance Evans, the ultimate heart throb, smiling at her in this picture?”
“Well, news flash! Our Lance Evans is a bully, and he could be just bullying ‘nobody’.”
“Yeah, that ugly fat cheek! How dare she include herself in this picture!!!”
“Riiiiight” and the two girls started insulting ‘her’ with all the different synonyms of the following words: fat, ugly, pushy, social climber, nerd, weird, bitch.
Somebody tapped the other girl in the shoulders and she looked up to see who it was. And what she saw was rather the prettiest girl she had ever seen. Her long crimson hair cascaded down to her back. Her body was on every girl’s goal list. Her skin were flawless, her eyes were ocean blue. It’s abnormal, but the girls were gaping at her like guys drooling over a Victoria Secret’s runaway model.
“The two of you!” The beauty unbelievably snarled.
“Yes?” They answered, ever so politely.
“If you’re gonna badmouth me, then I hope you’re doing it somewhere out of my hearing range.” She retorted, stomping out of the café and leaving the two girls in utter shock.
WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION
Can she be herself in a one-size-fits-all world?
Lori Palmer is the new girl at Bay Water High, where students prize glossy hair, beach bodies, and school spirit above all else. She misses her old school―where her talent as an artist carried more weight than she does―and longs for her old family life, before her parents got divorced and her mom reinvented herself.
So Lori decides that the only way to survive the rest of the year is to blend into the background, but her plans go awry when she discovers that the most popular (and hottest) guy at Bay Water High, Jake, is a volunteer at her brother's school. When her brother befriends Jake's sister, Lori is suddenly thrust into his unfamiliar and exhilarating world of water polo, parties, and stargazing.
But with her relationship with her mother deteriorating, old anxieties resurface and Lori finds a new artistic release that unknowingly ignites a powerful movement. When the authorities start asking questions, Lori realizes that finding her voice might have gotten her into a world of trouble...but sometimes standing up for what you believe in is as important as standing up for yourself.
