Prologue
I thought I had everything' a good life, a hot boyfriend, popularity, tons of friends, money, and the looks. Everything always seems to go my way. Every single girl wants my boyfriend. My family was filthy rich, so I got everything I asked for. And I was gorgeous. Nobody needs to tell me. I already knew. Guys hit on me from every direction; every girl hated me because I had the "perfect" body. I couldn't ask for more. Then, my whole life changed. Before I could even blink, my world turned upside down. It all started the night I got into the car with my extremely HOT boyfriend, Seto.
.::flashback::.
Tea laughed and slid in next to Seto. She wrapped her arms around him and kissed him all over the face. They were both drunk. Seto pulled away and started the engine up. Tea let out a whoop of excitement. Seto looked at her, his eyes gleaming with mischief.
"Hit the road, baby!" she screamed with thrill. The car jumped forward, sending Tea crashing into the seat. She laughed and rolled over. Seto gave her a devilish look, eyes not concentrating on the road. In fact, his vision was blurred.
He let go of the wheel and grabbed her, pulling her face close to his. Then he kissed her with need. She kissed back, pulling him on top of her.
BEEP! BEEP!
Seto jumped off of her and grabbed the steering wheel, as the headlights of a semi blinded his vision. They were heading on to a head-on collision with the semi. Tea screamed as the car slammed into the blinding light of the semi.
.::end of flashback::.
I couldn't remember what happened after that. All I remember was that blinding light. I had awoken up to find myself lying in a hospital bed, bandages covering my face.
I ran my fingers over the scars. The whole left side of my face was completely burned. My left hand was also burnt. The left side of my face was swollen. So swollen that I couldn't see out my left eye. I was ugly, hideous. Tears squeezed out my eyes as I hung my head in defeat.
Chapter One
"Tea, wake up," my mother shook me awake. I slowly opened my eyes. Well, my right eye. I couldn't really see out my left eye because of the burns. "Time for you to go to school."
School. One of the words I hated most. Today was the day I had to face my biggest fear... going back to school all deformed looking and stuff.
I closed my eye and rolled over to face the wall. I didn't feel like getting up.
"Tea," my mother shook me again. I mumbled and pulled the covers over my head.
"Tea!" my mother exclaimed exasperated and yanked the covers off of me. I grumbled. "You'll have to face your fears one day."
I sat up.
"How would you know?" I asked. "You never looked like THIS!" I snapped, pointing to my deformed face. It was true. My mother was gorgeous. That was where I got my beauty.
"Tea," she said and grabbed my hand. "Don't look down on yourself. We'll get you a plastic surgeon as soon as we can."
"Well, it¡¯s not soon enough!" I cried with anger. Tears rolled out of my eyes.
"Tea, don't cry," my mother said and hugged me. "You don't want to go to school with puffy, red eyes."
My whole body shook from the angry sobs that came out. She patted my back. I eventually calmed down and got ready. Today, she personally drove me to school.
Usually, when I woke up, it was just me and the maids and butlers running around the house. I was usually dropped off at school in my limo. Yeah, I got my own limo. Kinda' spoiled, huh? Well, what do you expect from the only child?
I got to school kinda' late. Made it to 2nd period, 45 minutes late.
I banged into my physics class. Everyone looked up, but didn't say a word. Mr. Horou probably told them that it was hard on me so they better not question. I slowly took my seat in the back of the class. They were in the middle of some "important" lesson.
I noticed my best friend, Mai, avoid looking at me. Some best friend she is.
All through the class, my mind wondered. I wonder what Seto would say when he sees me for the first time without the bandages on. I had heard that he had escaped the accident without a single scratch on him.
????
I know. I don't get it either.
RING!! The dismissal bell rang. Thank goodness. Lunchtime. I grabbed my stuff and was about to leave, when Mr. Horou called me to his desk.
"Yes?" I asked.
"Listen, Tea. If you have any problems, feel free to come talk to me, okay?"
"Yes, sir," I said and turned to leave.
"And Tea,"
I turned around again.
"Don¡¯t listen to what the other kids say."
I nodded and left to the cafeteria.
"Eh, what happened to your face?" a short, black boy I never saw before asked me. I ignored him and kept walking. Millions of curious eyes stared at me as I walked past.
Stop staring!! My mind screamed. I felt like I could yank the hair out of my head. I grabbed a lunch tray and got in line.
"Nice to see you back," the lunch ladies said. I forced a smile just to be nice. Inside, I was ready, more than willing, to go home away from all these questioning eyes. I paid for my lunch and walked to sit with my friends.
They all grew silent as I approached.
"Uh, ya'll wanna' go sit somewhere else?" Mai asked as I sat down next to them.
"Yeah," they all said in unison and stood up. They all left me sitting by myself. I had never felt so alone in my entire life. I guess they weren't really my friends after all. Only used me to get popular. F them.
I poked the green beans. My appetite had suddenly left me.
Where is Seto? I thought and stood up. I looked around the lunchroom, my eyes scanning for him. Having no luck, I sat back down.
Every person in the cafeteria seemed to purposely walk past me, to get a look at my deformed face. Angry, I laid my head down, covering the left side of my face.
Some guy came up to me. "Eh girl. What happened to you? You look like a monster."
I felt tears well up in my eyes. I jumped up out of my seat, grabbed my chocolate milk and splashed it all over him.
"That's cuz I saw your momma!" I screamed and ran out the lunchroom. Silence fell over the whole cafeteria as I ran out, tears running down my face.
I slammed into the girls' bathroom and locked myself in one of the stalls, crying out all my grief.
I remained in the stall even after the dismissal bell for lunch. I heard the bathroom door swing open as some girls came in talking excitedly.
"Did u see Tea's face?" I heard one of my friends exclaim. "She is HIDEOUS! If I was her, I would never show my face in THIS school!"
I peered throughout the crack in the door. Mai applied some lipstick on and smacked her lips together.
"I know," she said and stuffed the lipstick back into her purse. "Talk about ugliness. No wonder why Seto left her."
"Yeah," my other friends chuckled. "And she doesn't even know!" They started cracking up. My heart skipped a beat. I sank back onto the toilet seat, hatred rising in me.
I hated them, I hated my friends, hated Seto, hated my school, hated my life, hated... hated... God.
"Welp!" one of them said and jumped off the sink. "Better get to class before the bell rings."
Then they all piled out the door. Moments later, the bell rang.
Without even unlocking the stall door, I kicked it open. I didn't care if I broke the hinges. I got out the bathroom and ran to my locker. I didn't care if I skipped. I wanted to go home.
I opened my locker, grabbed my stuff, and dashed out of the school building. As I was walking past the student parking lot, I heard noises.
I rounded the corner and saw Seto's car. Inside were Seto and some girl making out like crazy. I looked around on the ground and spotted a rock. Without thinking, I grabbed it and hauled it at Seto's car. The windshield window cracked. Both of them jumped up in surprise. I sprinted out of view and ran away.
