A fifteen year old girl tapped her glasses, examining her face intently. What was it about her that had led her to be so quickly dumped? What was it about her that meant the first guy she had liked for as long as she could possibly remember had decided that she wasn't good enough for him?
Was it her face, she wondered, examining every single flaw.
Her hair grew down to her shoulders, curling ever so slightly at the very edge. It was a dark brown, a dark brown that she decided that she absolutely despised and just hid the twinkle of a couple freckles speckled across her nose.
Eliza Oliver looked like a sweet girl, which a week ago she was. Lyla Oliver was one of the sweetest girls you could meet. She had flaws, but you could tell that she had a good heart underneath it all. The only problem here was that Jared Rose was able to take a sweet girl and chew her up and spit her out. He didn't exactly mean to, it just sort of happened.
Lyla had managed to think she was she was different. Lyla had managed to think that she was special. And today Lyla had to realise that she really wasn't. She was nothing.
Her looks pictured her as a classic girl next door, but she was oblivious to the fact she might have been pretty. She had completely achieved the opinion in her mind that she was devastatingly ugly.
She tapped the edge of her glasses and pulled them off hesitantly, trying to see what she would look like without the wire specs around her big brown eyes. It was a failure though, she couldn't see the slightest thing at the moment it was all just a fuzzy little blur. She probably looked better like that though.
She almost couldn't believe how superficial she looked at the moment. Lyla had never been a vain girl, but she needed some explanation. She needed some explanation, as all teenage girls do, about why her heart had been ripped out, thrown on the ground and repeatedly stamped all over. She needed some reason why the 'love of her life' had decided to dump her. And the one that she derived was that she was horrible.
That she was ugly, and fat, and disgusting. She didn't know why Jared had asked her out in the first place. She didn't know why they had dated for two months. Maybe if she had been a better girlfriend, or been prettier, more attractive then she wouldn't be alone now.
She didn't quite know why she was making such a fuss over a guy, but she really couldn't help herself. Like most girls in her situation, she thought that her life was over. With that realisation, she collapsed down on the bed.
"Ly?" A voice came from outside the door and although she wanted to scream, she wouldn't let herself.
Her eleven year old brother poked his head through the door, his dark black hair just hanging into his eyes and Lyla was overcome with an urge to ruffle it on top of his head.
"What's wrong?" Lyla wanted to laugh at Beck's innocence. Maybe one day he'd be making a girl just like her break down and cry over him. She knew he'd be a hit with the ladies when he got old enough.
Then something hardened inside of her. That little kid in front of her was not going to grow up to be a jerk with an ego the size of Manhattan. That boy was going to be the one that every girl in school would want to be with because they knew he would treat them like a princess.
Her little brother was going to be the perfect guy.
She would make sure of that if it absolutely killed her. And when the time came along for him to finally get a girlfriend, then she knew that the Perfect Guy would end up with the Perfect Girl. She could imagine Beck with a cheerleader smiling at him, being nice to everybody with a bright smile on her face. For some reason, there also happened to be a trail of blonde hair out behind her and she had bright blue eyes.
The funny thing was, although Lyla didn't quite realise it yet the girl she had described in her head was absolutely nothing in the slightest like Beck's future girlfriend.
It's short, I know, but it is just a prologue, the actual chapters are longer. And I know it was OC based, but this story will also contain high amounts of Bade, basically it will focus on the Senior year (all OCs) and Freshmen year (VicTORIous cast).
The Name Is A Lie, As Is The Cake

Oh, and please review, it really makes my day.
