4. Lila
Perfect smile.
Perfect hair.
Perfect clothes.
Perfect voice.
Perfect everything.
Gracing down the hallways of P.S. 118
Everyone's eyes were on her.
The boys, lovesick.
The girls, green with envy.
The same shade of her pretty skirt.
People don't usually see beyond the surface.
No one dug deep into the real Lila.
Did they know that she secretly wanted to be just one of the girls.
Not placed so high up on a throne, isolated from the rest.
She wanted to be just a regular somebody, just another person in the crowd.
She wanted to show her anger, sadness, fear, just like everyone else.
Being happy and "perfect", by the world's definition, was just too exhausting for one little girl to handle.
Lila was aware
that one day, she would crack.
But for now, she just went on with her act.
Of being Little Miss Perfect in the eyes of everyone.
Trying out some new stuff. Enjoy :)
