7 years later.........

"Mom?" Brenda shouted while she looked for her mother. 
"Dear you will be late!" Her mother said. 

Her mother did hate her in the past because she was unwanted and when she was small she had a very rare condition which forbid her to grow hair on her body so she was bald and did not have eyelashes and she looked ugly but as she grew up, her condition improved and she started growing her hair. As time passed by she got treatment of hair removal which helped more. Brenda's mother expects her to become the next CEO of her designing center but little did she knew that her daughter does not want that...........

"Brenda you forgot to put on your makeup!" Her mom said while Brenda secretly rolled her eyes.
"Mom I have told you many times that I don't need makeup! I am happy as how I am." Brenda said irritated but in a rather low and soft tone because she did not want to disappoint her mother.  
"Are you kidding me? Nowadays people even younger than you don't go out without putting makeup on and you are telling me that you will not!?" Her mother scoffed at her daughter's words.
"Mom! Don't compare me to others and I have told you over a hundred times that I am different from the others. I am not like those girls who have their faces baked with a lots of makeup. I just like putting on lip balm and you know that very clearly but still you brag about it!" Brenda said shouting a little this time. She was irritated and fed up by her mother's behavior and decided that she will not keep quiet now. She had to stand up for herself even though it meant going against her own mother............

Brenda rushed outside to ignore further argument. Her mother understood her signal and sighed before grabbing her car keys and going outside. She started the car and Brenda sat in the passenger's seat and drove her to her school. 

Time skip :-

Brenda was walking out of her school when someone ran into her pushing her. She fell on the ground and winced in pain due to a scratch on her elbow which was caused because of the push.
"I am so sorry Ms." An unknown voice spoke. She looked up to see the new student standing while scratching his nape with an apologetic face. She ignored him as she thought that he was a freak.

She gathered her books and was about to get up when a hand appeared in front of her face. She saw that he was giving her his hand. She grabbed it and stood up with his help. Brushing off the dust on her dress with her hands she mumbled a small 'thank you' to him and walked away. Emotionless as always. Her last class had been dismissed a little bit early that day so she wandered around the garden. Her only happiness was the garden - the beauty of nature. She wanted become a passionate gardener but her mother did not want that. 

She smiled while she watched all the birds and flowers. The birds sang their unknown sweet song and the flower danced to the song. The wind seemed to have been calmed down listening to the birds. This is called beauty of the nature. She sat on a bench bellow the large willow tree and closed her eyes. But suddenly.....her smart watch chimed 2 times. She sighed and walked towards the front gate of her school.

She again saw the new boy but with a girl this time. She felt a little angry but then she heard a honk which distracted her mind and also made both of them look at her. Suddenly the boy ran towards her shouting her name, holding something in his hand but she did not know what it was. He came towards Brenda and forwarded his hands which held her locket.......

She checked her neck and as she had expected.....her locket was not there on her neck. Her eyes widened like a fish when she faced the reality. 
"From where did you get my locket? And how do you know my name?" Brenda said with a bit anger. 
"Oh that-- earlier when we bumped into each other your locket slipped from your neck and fell. I saw it and even ran to give to you but you were faster. I didn't even know your name but then luckily I saw Sarah who told me about you so that is how I know about your name. I am Ray BTW." He finished and gave her a little smile which was ignored by Brenda when she took more like snatched her locket from his hand and ran towards her mother's car closing the door harshly. It was hard for her to react properly to anyone who she did not know so closely the reason being, her being an introvert. She does get angry easily but know how to not show it and control it. 

"Weird!"  Ray mumbled and watched as he watched the disappearing figure of the car.
