After putting on a light touch of makeup on my face, I looked up at the mirror and stared at it.
"Still the same beauty queen I've always been"Viola soliloquized and paused for few seconds then continued "I gotta go now else I'll be late for my new school," and saying this she headed for the door. Few inches to the door knob, she froze dead as if she had just remembered something. She went back to the mirror, sat down, took a face wipes and cleaned off all her makeups.
"Or maybe, just maybe; there should be a change of identity,let me see how the students in my new school will react to find someone ugly in their midst."and she left to school.
ARRIVING AT MY NEW SCHOOL
Upon getting to school, Viola putted on her face Cap after alighting from her driver's car and walked shyly to the building. She accended the stairs to the hallway and made a left turn to the class which she was assigned to.Her entry into the caused a sudden unusual silence that someone forcefully sneezed to awaken the class back. Viola walked gently and shyly to her seat and sat down, brought out a book and started reading. All eyes were still on her. Fellow students were still confused about who she was. Fifteen minutes after her arrival, a teacher came into the classroom and stood by the podium and ordered for audience at once.
"As we all know and have just seen," the teacher started, "we have a new student amongst us and therefore deserve to know who she is, what her name is and etc. So please can the newbie come out and introduce herself politely,"he demanded and Viola stepped out accompanied by applause and cheers.
"My name is Viola George aka VG. As you all know I am a new student here and I promise to be well behaved and accommodating to you all if you are willing to show me good manners,"she finished and took off her face Cap. There were loud murmurs among the students. Viola continued "Oh my makeup was inexpertly put on this morning, but never to worry about my looks, it's character that does matters, never judge a book by its cover," she finalized and went back to her seat followed by applause but this time; weak and unwilling. Viola smiled within herself and muttered "They only applaud beautiful people and ingnore the ugly ones."
AT THE PLAYGROUND; NOON
Viola was approaching some group of four pretty girls at the playground to see if she could get a friend or at least two.
"Hi girls, am your new classmate can I join you girls in playing?"she asked politely
"Huh " scuffed a girl who seemed to be the boss of the clique and also the most beautiful among them. She was nicknamed 'the school Barbie and was also very popular and rude to ugly people and Viola fell a victim of her mockery. "You are not as beautiful as us and so you can never join us except you are ready to sell your kidney so you can afford a beauty surgery,"the girl, Tracy, mocked Viola. Viola felt insulted. She has always been known as the beauty queen of her former school. People would always cheer and extol her whenever she took a walk around the school. But here, seems like things were gonna be tough and different. She felt like exposing her actual identity and to outshine other beauties. She knew she was the most beautiful girl among the whole kids in the school, but she had a second plan. A time will come when the whole school will abandon their current beauty stars and praise her for real beauty. She silently left them and joined some other group [also girls] who were not as beautiful as the first ones.
