Reality is Not as Beautiful as Expectation
A girl who has many shortcomings
I envy everyone. They live with beautiful faces, so they get some friends.
While me? there is nothing special in my life. My face is not pretty and I am not a rich girl either.
I'm just a girl who has a lot of flaws, so no one wants to be friends with me.
But once upon a time, there was a new student who wanted to make friends with me.
Yeah right, there's a new kid who wants to be friends with me. Now the new boy was sitting next to me smiling at me.
"Hi, I'm Talitha. What's your name?"
"My name is Elena Asteria."
"His name is beautiful as his."
Elena fell silent, she felt Talitha ridiculing her. He thought Talitha was a good man, but he was like any other friend.
During class hours, all students and students are required to divide the group. At this very moment Elena could only resign, because she knew that no one wanted a group with her.
When the others were busy searching for the group, Elena just kept quiet while staring at her passing friends.
"Elena!" call Miss Andira.
Elena looked at her teacher. "What's up, Mom?"
"Have a group?"
Elena just shook her head. On the other hand, her friends were busy chatting as if they did not want to include Elena into her group.
"Austin, put Elina in your group, yes" said Bu Andira.
"Good, Mom"
Elena walked towards her group. As he walked, he simply lowered his head as he knew for sure Austin was forced to accept Elena.
After sitting down, Elena circulated her gaze towards her group of friends. And it was true that they were staring cynically at Elena. But only Austin did not stare cynically at Elena, as he was busy looking for material in his notebook.
"Can you borrow your notebook?" ask Austin.
"May," Elena said as she gave her notebook to Austin.
After a few minutes, our group finally wrote down the answer.
"Your writing is very neat," praised Austin.
"Thank you."
"Are you the one who wrote, because the writing of the three of us is so ugly."
Elena is aware of that. Austin praised Elena's writing so she could use Elena.
What can be done, it's a good thing Elena has a group. So inevitably, Elena had to do the task of this group even though she had to write down all the answers.
When writing the answer, it looks from the corner of Elena's eyes if two friends are whispering while laughing. Elena was very sure that they were laughing at Elena who was being bullied by Austin.
20 Minutes later...
Finished doing the group task, all the group leaders immediately gathered their tasks at the table. After that, everyone went to the cafeteria because the entrance bell had just rung.
As usual, Elena went to the cafeteria without a friend. From then until now, he was always alone. Even if someone takes her to the cafeteria, she won't. Because at the time in the cafeteria, they must have been joking about Elena's physique.
Elena's skin was not white like most of the other girls. So they used to call Elena because Elena's skin wasn't as white as theirs.
Indeed beauty is not seen from how white a person's skin. But if women have white skin, they will look more beautiful.
"Elena," said a guy.
Sontak Elena looked towards the guy. Then the man whispered to his friend. Then the two of them laughed as they looked in disdain at Elena.
Elena could only hold back her emotions, she could not fight back because that was the reality. He was born to be ugly.
There are many ways Elena has done it. Starting from buying scrubs, handbody even facial skin care. But still there is no change.
DOR'S!
Elena gasped when someone surprised her. He looked back and there was Talitha behind him.
"I don't know!"
"I'm sorry, yes" he said with a cry.
Talitha invites Elena to go to the cafeteria, as she does not want to go alone.
Although Elena knew that Talitha did not seriously want to befriend her, she still accepted her invitation. He is also bored when he rests alone.
But still, if one day Talitha already had friends, she would definitely leave Elena. And in the end Elena remained aloof.
...****************...
Talitha smiled, not knowing what she was thinking. But clearly, Elina knew that she was mocking Elena.
"Elena, you don't have any friends at school, do you?"
Elena looked at him. "Yes, I have no friends at all."
"Why don't you try to blend in with the others?"
"I tried to blend in with them, but they always made me a joke. That's why I'd rather stay away from them."
From Talitha's countenance it was obvious that she felt sorry for Elena.
Talitha picked up her phone and showed her phone to Elena.
Elena's eyes were round, she did not believe that Talitha showed the price list of plastic surgery.
"You don't? I happen to know the doctor. Because I know, so who knows you can get a discount."
Talitha's intentions were good, she wanted Elena to look beautiful. But he should not have directly told Elena to do plastic surgery, because it made Elena's heart a little sick.
"Where? you want to not?"
"I don't have the money to do plastic surgery."
Suddenly, Elena thought that Talitha had also done plastic surgery.
"Can I ask you something?"
"Byeah" replied Talitha.
"You're having plastic surgery?"
"No. I give you advice so that you do plastic surgery not because I also do plastic surgery," he said with full affirmation.
Elena only asked, but Talitha answered her in an annoyed tone. So, it proves that it is true that she has had plastic surgery.
Elena continued to watch Talitha's face closely, but she was confused as to which part of her face was being operated on. After a good look, it seemed like Talitha operated on her nose.
"Why do you see me like that? you must think I'm plastic surgery, huh?" cynical Talitha.
"No. I see you for being fascinated by your beauty."
Talitha blushed in embarrassment at Elena's words. What he had been annoyed about, had now turned back into a friendly.
"Oh yes! after school, where are you going?"
"Yes, come home."
"What if we go for a walk first. You see, I just moved here, so I want to know the places that hit here."
"If you want to find a hit spot, you better ask the others. I never went to that place."
