I'm looking for a beta, I need grammatical help with run-ons and fragments. Read my other story, The Abused Duo. Please review, even if it's just to say, 'This Sucks', I don't mind flames.
There's three groups at my elite boarding school, The Pretties, The Halfways and The Uglies. The Pretties are a small group who keep to themselves, no one knows much about them. I'm a Halfway, not ugly but not pretty, I'm close to the bottom of the Halfways, The Pretties leave us alone but bother the Uglies. The Uglies are those who aren't pretty.
I thought The Pretties were just airheaded, shallow people, lead by the wonderful Miss Annabeth Chase and her perfect boyfriend Mr. Perseus "Percy" Jackson. I guess I was wrong, there was more to them, why The Uglies were outcasts, why they were so good looking and why The Halfways were ignored. Percy and Annabeth weren't just shallow people, they had a whole lot more to them. Of course, at the beginning of the story I didn't know this. I thought they were just rude, ignorant, wealthy, and shallow people.
The Pretties consisted of a small group, smaller than The Halfways and The Uglies. Percy and Annabeth of course, Percy's cousins Thalia and Nico. Then some other people, Jason, Piper, Reyna, Leo, Frank, Hazel, Silena, Beckendorf and Sammy, just to name a few. Leo and Sammy were twins, identical twins, but Leo was more into mechanical things while Sammy loved the 40's and making mischief. Reyna was Jason's ex and Leo's current girlfriend, Piper was Jason's girlfriend. Sammy was Hazel's ex and Frank was Hazel's current boyfriend. Silena and Beckendorf had been dating forever. Thalia, Nico and Sammy were the only currently single ones.
The Halfways were most of the school. About 75%, we were the ones who hadn't got on The Pretties bad side, mostly Annabeth, or were just kind of pretty. There wasn't much about us, we were mixed ethnicities and different kinds of semi-attractive. We all just went from class to class, chatting among ourselves, trying not to stand out or get in the way of The Pretties.
The Uglies were a different story, some of them really were ugly while others were actually pretty. The difference between The Uglies and the rest of the groups was, The Uglies weren't really a group. They were just kind of random people here and there. You couldn't tell an ugly from the rest of us, unless you were a pretty of course. No one knew for certain how The Pretties knew who The Uglies were. No one knew how many uglies there were, if there were, a hundred, five or if there were only two because only the pretties knew.
This story is about how I found out how The Pretties, The Halfways and The Uglies came to be. Why there was such a rift between the two groups? No one knew, except for The Pretties, and soon to be... Me. People never switched groups, it's as if they knew if they were a pretty or an ugly, if they were confused, chances are, they were a halfway. Enough of that, it's time I tell the story of how the three groups were destroyed. And, how I discovered how this came about.
My name is Grace Taylor. I have long, blonde, wavy hair with natural red highlights and big blue eyes. I have a sprinkling of freckles across my face and thin lips. I'm not super pretty but I'm not ugly. Or at least, that's what my school thinks. I think I'm not bad looking, I'm a sophmore and I have a boyfriend. I like to party, a lot, though I've never drank. My boyfriend's name is Anthony MaGargee, he's a Halfway too. He found out with me.
He has chocolate brown eyes, a mixed complexion and curly black hair. He's better looking than me and always has girls all over him. What I love about him is that he ignores them. Yes ,I'm very jealous and possessive, so I've spied on him before, he's trustworthy. That's the only reason why I let him in on the secret, that and he's a whole lot smarter than me.
