Every since I was born everyone always told me I was ugly. I believed them without a doubt and hid my face behind a mask. I never ever wanted to look at my face. I always saw it as ugly the moment I looked at it. That is what I believed from young.
My mother was a beautiful lady who married a rich guy but then he divorced her and left her. I was the only thing left of that marriage. She told me people hated me because I am beautiful but I never believed it. As much as I wanted to believe her I saw myself similar to the ugly duckling.
No one ever told me I was beautiful, other than my mother, just harsh insults. I hid myself from the world with a tough personality to show their words had no effect on me but they did.
Everyone in the village hated my mother and I. My mother called it envy. Envy for what she had before but they did not.
Growing up in school was hard. I was an outcast. No one wanted to be my friend. Somehow I got through the years and now I'm graduating. My mother forced me to go to the after party even though I pleaded I didn't want too.
I enter the room and already people stared me down. I kept my mask on. Not wanting to feel their stares I hid in the back of the room. This isn't fun.
Hours passed and no one spoke to me. I was really to leave when I spotted the most popular guy heading my way. He's coming to laugh at me.
"Hi,"He said so gently.
I don't answer him.
"Why are you alone?" He questioned on but I still didn't answer. "My name is Takumi Usui."
"Why are you talking to me?" I asked him puzzled.
"Hmm..Because you seem interesting an-"
"You heard I'm ugly and you came to make fun of me?" I almost wanted to yell it out.
He stares at my mask. "No and who says you're ugly?"
"Everyone," I whispered.
"I'll be the judge of that," He takes my mask and lifted it off my face.
I waited for his reply until…... "God damn you're ugly. Do people really let you walk among others?"
"What?" I yelled.
A few seconds later
"I'm just kidding," He chuckled. He dropped my mask to the floor. "You are beautiful."
I knew he wasn't lying because it sounded so sincere.
"Do you want to dance?" He asked me holding out his hand.
"Yes."
I had a feeling this ugly duckling just became a swan.
If you didn't realise by now I post weird things. Bye.
