Beautiful?

There's some things you just don't want to talk about. But I can tell you I was the butt of many guys cruel jokes.

We couldn't afford makeup or nice clothes for me. Add onto that the fact I was late to blossom ammd have felt fat from the age of nine. I was kept in awkward haircuts that had no real style. And if the guys thought I was cute, they sure were secretive about it....

I remember once in high school ...and this was not an isolated incident.... a group of boys walked up to me
One of them said to me "hey, my buddy here wants to go out with you. Whatddya say?" The friend ran to the bathroom and hid for jlthe rest of the day.... guys did that to me alot. So you can imagine that when a popular high schooled showed up at my with grade formal, and the rumors were he was looking for me to ask to dance how I reacted.....


That's right, not being able to bear the joke under the circumstances I hid in the bathroom and cried.

But the rumors persisted. A friend of mine found me and encouraged me to come out, that "maverick " was looking for me. I called her a liar and locked myself into a stall. Two of my other friends so came to back her up and slowly coaxed me, unwillingly, out of the bathroom, still believing it all to be an elaborate and cruel prank...

But then he walked up to me and pulled me close for my first ever slow dance.... I had no idea why, but I refused to let myself question it.... even if of was pity, I was happy for the moment.
