The day felt anew, as Evie took a long stretch. She opened her window, and let the glow of the morning sun traverse into her bedroom. This morning Evie, felt a new level of confidence. She took a look into the mirror, and smiled back at her own face. Pale blue eyes, gleemed back, as well as a tender smile. She now infact, did see a beautiful girl before her. She decided to put some color in her face, as she rarely ever did.
Evie painted a pink, rosy blush over her cheeks. She then applied a light golden eyeshadow over her lids, which made her blue peepers pop more. She then applied some kohl eyeliner, and finished off with a glittering mascara, and a peachy colored lipbalm. It tasted like peaches and cream, and gave her lips, a nice little pout. Evie now brushed her usually messy hair. She didn't recognize the girl staring back at her, but did in fact see a very ravishing angel. Her hooked nose didn't even seem to phase her now.
She had a little jump in her step, as she made her way to the kitchen. Her father gave her a low whistle, and her Mom spun her around. A white dress with a light blue trim and bodice swerved around her as she spun.
"Why so pretty, Evie dear." Her mom asked.
"I have no idea, I just woke up, and felt like emphasising my own outer beauty. I guess talking with Mr.Barkley, and you afterwards, gave me a little boost of confidence."
"Glad to hear, sweetie." Said Ava, as she gave Evie a kiss on the forehead. "Now don't let anyone bring you down, you hear me."
"I will try my best, mom. No promises, but I will try my best."
Evie now made her way out the door. She still took her time walking down her favorite path, but she didn't tarry as much as she used to. She got on that bus, with her face up, instead of down. She noticed a couple shocked glances her way, and thought nothing of it. She felt so good about herself right now.
Javier looked like he was in shock, as his jaw dropped, in awe. His eyes grew two times bigger, and he was lost for words.
"Well you look really pretty today, Evie." He couldn't help but keep staring. " I mean it. I really do."
"Although you were always a very pretty girl"
He still couldn't say all the words he wanted to, he did feel lucky, that this real vision of heaven, was sitting next to him.
Mickey, and Minnie then got on, and there was some ear breaking screams.
"Oh my god girl...You are a hottie." Said Minnie, "Isn't she a hottie Mick," She now asked her brother.
"I will admit, you do look very nice today Evie. It's so different, but wow. If I didn't think of you as a sister, and didn't want to mess up our friendship, I would definitely be asking you out."
Evie blushed, and didn't care that she was "sister zoned" . She felt the same about Mickie, they would never really click, as more then friends. She also knew he had an obsession with that one rather quiet girl named Emily, in their Biology class.
Evie, then noticed another pair a cold green eyes, leering back at her. Priscilla didn't look to impressed, but maybe she was just jealous. She whispered something into Morgan's ear, and the two girls laughed it off, as they looked back at Evie, with an insatiable hatred.
Once they got to school, Evie walked the hallways with a new, and high level of confidence. She didn't stare down, at her feet, like she usually did. Instead her face looked straight ahead, and she had a gusto in her steps. Even Grayson Chambers, gave her a second look. He never did before. If this was grade 8, her heart would of skipped a beat, as she grew a big crush on him. It was different now though, as he was always a jerk towards her.
She asked him to a school dance that year, and his response. Well, his response was nothing but haughty chuckle, and the words "not even if you were the last girl in the entire galaxy. I would rather not have a puke bag strapped to my leg, just incase you wanted a kiss. That is for my secret flask of whiskey, not for a puke bag."
Those words struck a fine chord in Evie, then snapped in half. He was the new kid, and she thought maybe, just maybe he wouldn't be like everyone else. Was she ever wrong, as he gained popularity rather quickly. Eventually she realized he had a bad streak aswell. He drank, partied, and had a bad rep. A bad rep, which made girls like Priscilla swoon, because he was the "bad boy hottie."
Priscilla and Grayson dated for about a year, then broke up. No one really knew what happened, but according to Priscilla, he cheated on her with some whore from Ridgewood Juinor High. Ridgewood was another school, on the opposite side of town.
Nevertheless, Evie couldn't give two shits, about Grayson's double look. He had his chance, but he choose to act like everyone else, and belittle her, for being her own awkward self.
What did make Evie nervous, however was the stares and whispers she now received. For one who didn't get much acclaimed attention, she wasn't really used to all the ogling stares.
🌟-----------------------------------------------🌟
Lunch period began, and it turns out, that Evie was the gossip of the day. Was it all good gossip, not necessarily. Most people had to question, why she looked so well put together today. It was so unlike her, and their had to be a reason behind it.
"No really, you should do yourself up like this more often." Said Minnie rather ecstatically, and a bit too loud, as everyone could clearly hear her.
She must of had many a Monster again, earlier.
"Minnie's right you know.", Said Mickie. " I know your not used to all the looks you are receiving, but they are also not used to you, looking so....foxy. I see some newly formed self esteem radiating off of you as well. I mean really... You have to do this more often. You deserve to be recognized this way."
Javier, kept silent. He tried not to stare, but it was hard, so he did it mostly when Evie didn't notice. He unlike everyone else, knew she was a true beauty. All she had to do was see it herself, and the beauty would shine out vibrantly. If only she smiled more, and had more confidence. Then everyone would see what he had always saw. She didn't even need the make-up, or the curve clinging dress. The confidence illuminating off of her had been all she needed, all along. The confidence brought the smile. It also brought the face up from looking at the ground, and in everyone's line of vision.
Eye's now followed as a bodacious blonde promenaded towards Evie. She had malefic grin on her face, and a slight gleem in her poison fueled green eyes.
"Hey Beak face,"
Priscilla looked back at Evie, with a snarling glare." Whatever it is your trying to do, this new look, it's so not you." Priscilla's eyes now burned holes into Evie's. "I mean c'mon, you pretty...puh..leeze." Priscilla then heavily rolled her eyes. "You look like a whore, and not even a good looking whore. You, you look like a crack whore. Your as pretty as a 1$ hooker." Priscilla's bottom lip puffed out, her eyes wide, and full of spiteful hate. Evie's face kept stolid, she wasn't going to let Priscilla's hurtful words damage her today.
"OMG, do you ever shut up, it's obvious that your green with envy." Mickey barked back. "I mean c'mon Pisszilla, sorry that your not hotter then Evie. If you weren't a girl, I would break your nose, with my fist."
Priscilla laughed ostentatiously, now all eyes were on her, Evie, and Evie's clan.
"I will destroy you, Birdo. You will never be like me, so stop trying. No one likes you, and no one ever will. "
Evie's eyes glazed slightly, not today, not today, I can't break, she thought to herself.
"Awww, izz the widdle, baby gunna cwry, your pathetic."
"Just leave her alone Pissy." Said Minnie, haven't you done enough damage to her already.
"What Birdo, can't say anything, you need your dumb friends to stick up for you."
"I, ..."The words wouldn't come out, her anxiety greatly catching up to her.
"I, I, I .. what's wrong, with you." Said Priscilla in a mocking tone.
Priscilla now turned around, she needed to get something out of her onlookers. She was the star here, not stupid pitiful Evie. She looked around as everyone watched.
"You guys," Priscilla cupped her hands to her mouth, making a handmade microphone.
"Evie, bird-face, Prancer here, thinks she is hotter than me, she so desperately wants to be me, isn't that hill...air...rious. But guess what guys, it's hard to be so hot, when you have to dress like a whore to get attention. Oh remember last year guys, when she bled all over the cushion in home-ec. I mean seriously, it's called a tampon. I guess she's too stupid, to get that through that ugly, thick skull of hers, I bet she can't even afford a tampon, that's probably what it is."
"My parents own, the seafood shop, and the smoked meat shop next to it, Priscilla, money was never an issue."
"Yeah we, all know your parents own, that stupid fish shop. We can always smell that gross stench on you."
Evie's parents did infact, own both the fish shop, and smoked meat shop that lied next to it. The fish shop was close to the harbour, and they caught their own fish, and some stuff got sent to them aswell. They hunted alot of their own meat aswell, then put it in their smoker for the meat shop. It did make for a very nice income. The downside of course, worked negatively in Evie's favor. She often helped her parents at work, and would smell like fish sometimes. At first, she would shower afterwards to get rid of the stench, but of course, she still got ridiculed and eventually stopped trying to keep a nice, smell free image all together. What was the point in trying to fit in, as a normal stench-free person, when people seemed to find another way to poke fun at you.
A boom of laughter thundered throughout the cafeteria. With that Evie got up and ran. Evie's eyes, were cool blue pools, waterfalls that cascaded down her soft ruddy cheeks. This did make her appear weak, and she wanted to be strong. Priscilla drove her to her breaking point, however. Once again Priscilla managed to make her the schools own easy mark. Once again, Evie became the lamb to the slaughterer.
◾⚪◾⚪◾⚪◾⚪◾⚪◾⚪
Bah, I hate that Priscilla bitch. Who the hell does she think she is. Let's all hope Evie, comes back around. She needed this break, she needed to feel beautiful, and miss "high, and mighty" had to just stick her catty claws so deeply into everything. What would you guys all do in this situation?
