"Kuroki Tomoko" the homeroom teacher called almost robotically as he made his way down the attendance list.

"H-Here" Tomoko stammered, this was the beginning of a new uneventful day with nothing special happening. Tomoko sat through her first period class thinking about how she was gonna work her way up the social spectrum as usual. "W-what if I got Yuu-Chan to give me a makeover so I can be a bishojo?! That's it why didn't I think of that before hyahahahaha~. All of these shit eaters will be licking my feet." Tomoko scanned the room looking at her classmates paying intent attention to the teacher, her fantasies started appearing in her minds eye, she could hear the voices of appraisal.

"Was tomoko always that pretty?"

"She looks like an anime character, let's be her friend"

"You're so cute tomoko"

"You're amazing tomoko"

Suddenly Tomoko was snapped out of her daze by the stares of her classmates on her.

"effect on relationships tomoko...?" Tomoko just caught the last bit of what the teacher was saying,

"Oh shit I wasn't paying attention" Tomoko looked down and glazed over her course material. The course study in social studies for the day was the effect of beauty standards in today's society. Tomoko, self-absorbed in her own ideas prompty opened her mouth without thinking "Obviously if you can't look good, no one will stay in some half assed relationship based on emotions, all guys are just horn-dogs anyways it's all about the body..." Tomoko looked up realizing what she had done, the class went silent. Tomoko took a while to register what happened, wait did she say that out loud? Her lips quivered and then she went into a daze the rest of the day. Shutting out the noise of the class and beating herself up over and over on her stupid mistake. It was a typical tomoko - thing, either she over-valued a completely idiotic idea like having coke sprayed in her face makes her beautiful, or she let her mouth run at the wrong time.

Hometime came and she was absorbed in her thoughts about how she was going to become beautiful the half the time she was walking home until she came across her little brother Tomoki, usually he stayed late at school to practice with his soccer team, but this whole entire week his team was on a break due to the school finding a replacement coach, as the previous one quit.

"Hey otouto" Tomoko said with her usual cynical tone.

"Tsk" he shot her a glare

"Walk at least 1 meter away from me, I told you I wasn't going to talk to you at school remember?" They both kept walking steadily in the direction of their home.

"Do you like girls for their body? Or do you like them because of their personality, do you hate me because I'm not sexy like yuu-chan with her voluptuous boobs? Are you ashamed to walk or be seen with me at school because I'm an ugly smelly, flat chested neet?" Tomoko's questions came out one after another.

Tomoki sighed "I think that stuff doesn't matter." Tomoki thought back to his younger days where his sweet sister would care for him and kiss him tenderly, he snapped back to reality, then looked at her intently.

" oh Ho? What's this could you possibly be thinking that I'm a beautiful Loli sister, your staring at me like a dog in heat. Hahaha~!" Tomoko laughed.

"I think you are too hard on yourself" Tomoki said bluntly and walked up into the house".

Tomoko stood there dumbfounded.

"What does he know, he doesn't know what it's like to be me, if I was hot or cool like he was maybe things would be different" Tomoko walked into the house and locked the door.

Little did she know that she was going to be proved wrong on her opinion, and by no one else but her little brother.
