Gift of a friend

It was the first day of class and also a lunch break time in the cafeteria I actually not from this school but get to move out from my old school to start a new life here. I get to be bully because of my face they make fun a lot, I'm Lucinda Geoffren people call me creep because of my physical appearance. If I describe my physical features it was too much for an ugly person. I was not a typical ugly.

I have a very big round face, have a mono-eyelid eyes, big nose, chapped lips, small ears and skinny body and also have very pale skin because of that i look like a dead ugly person arouse from grave. my parents isn't look like this, they are beautiful and that's why people in my town think they got me from an orphan or the real child got exchange by me the day it was born in the hospital and I wasn't really their child and they were only fooled by the nurses there. but i was told I really came from my mothers womb and I'm their real child. am I curse? it is not a disease.

when I walk in the cafeteria i caught all their attention, they all stop of what they are doing and look me head to foot. I did not mind them and just continued to walk.

"is that a human or an alien?" and they all laugh

I expected all the harsh words but not the eggs that was thrown to me. another person pour her drinks on my head. i look the girls who is infront of me she look disgusted. this is what society is if they find you ugly and different they will act like you'll never fit in their world. My mom told me not to be resentful for those people who have hurt me but just pray that someday all of their minds will be op`en to someone who is different.

my vision started to blurry because of the tears that is tempting to fall on my eyes.

I was shaking I thought my nightmare on that school ended but it was not, all people are the same they will only judge you by your physical appearance and not what is in your heart. if you have the looks you are less to be bully but more respected, if you have the looks everybody likes you. `Dad said it was not us that is ugly but it was society.

the room was full of laughter but it became quiet

I stiff when i saw a person in front of me. he was staring at me. it was the guy in my old school. girls like him very much because he is very attractive and handsome. he hold my wrist the reason why people started whispering.

"why did you let them did that to you?" He look irritated.

questions flooded in my mind, why is he here and what is he doing. he look at the girls, the girls who throw the eggs on me. they look astounded.

"Anyone who would hurt her again. I will not save your face" then he look at me again

"I'm so annoyed seeing you weak and letting yourself to be hurt"

I forcefully get my hand out of his grip and escaped that room and let my feet bring me to the rooftop.

"I'm Ethan" i stare at him, why did he follow me here. does he pity me a lot?

"I know I'm being annoying now but i just want to tell you that. I'm always here when you need help" he smiled to assure me.

"I don't need your sympathy but thank you" the smile on his face faded. he nodded

"I just want to be friends with you" he seriously said.

"I dont know" it is hard to believe that guy like him wants to be friend with me

"I also know that you dont trust me but i sincerely wants to be friend with you. i dont want to tell you this but you remind me of my twin sister who have passed away that i didn't protected from bullies" and then he left me with awe

Growing with insults is the reason that i don't have trust others for their intention and always have a dreadful thoughts for their reason. I was growing having no friend at all. everytime i look on those kids their is always a disgust on their eyes. the only friend i have is my mom and dad. my grandparents, cousins and relatives did not also want to accept me.

starting that day no one did bully me but the harsh words was still there everywhere i go. Ethan that guy, he always came and talk to me to enlighten my mood. at first their is fear that he also like them that he just want to prove something to his friend. I'm afraid that one day i might find out he's no difference from those people who tried to be friend with me for money.

I told my parents about him and they also said that let him be friend that is what life is to take risk for someone to get even know them. if they want to come to your life open the door to your heart and let them in and if they want to leave you, let the door be open again because there is also that person who want to play a part of your life.

every free time we got to talk he shares all his experiences. It was enough to make me laugh and slowly giving my trust to him. and let him become my first friend in my whole life.

let me tell you if you think you are ugly and different and get to be bullied often. don't worry i also thought all people are the same. but it wasn't, there are always that person who wants to be with you. who wants to befriend with you no matter what you have, no matter what you are. their is always god who is willing to accept the whole you for being you
