"Hi! I'm Diana Jade,  25 years old, waist length black hair with a splash of red, blue eyes, rosy red lips, white skin, and an hourglass body shape.

My life is full of colours, thanks to it, I attracted a lot of attentions from men, and I got to witness the disappointed expressions on their faces.

They claimed I was ugly, just because of my natural brown teeth, and the fact that my upper incisors are longer than normal ones and protruded out from my mouth a little bit. When I close my mouth, you could see the shape of the teeth pushing my lips out.

I also have some blemishes on my face, it's more like a skin irritation. I was told it's because I was exposed to some kind of dust and too much cold when I was young which led to me having a seizure when I'm exposed to a lot of cold, and it added to my skin irritation which is very frustrating. Of course, there is air conditioning everywhere I go. But the most annoying part is that these irritations only appear on my face. I can't help but think that it's doing it on purpose.

I lost a lot of jobs because of the seizure as they thought I was suffering from some kind of disease.

So back to the ugly talk, I don't think I'm ugly like everyone claimed. I believe God is being fair. I mean, if I had a nice face coupled with my entire stunning features, I might be kidnapped for it.

I grinned. Those lines are from my boyfriend. He said he likes me the way I am, and that beauty is not all about one's appearance, but the inside that matters. He also said I'm a good lady. 

We work in the same office, but we barely have time for each other because office relationships are not allowed. One day, he secretly gave me his coat when the cold was getting too much, and he said he noticed how much I usually avoided the cold and wanted to help. And so, that's how our story began.

But finally, we will be going out tomorrow. Yay!

He wants me to meet his friends and also have our first date. It's been two weeks since he confessed his feelings to me, and although I didn't feel the same, I could really do with a boyfriend now. The doctor said I need to conquer the cold inside me with some certain amount of inner heat which I believe having sex could solve.

I will take my time and love him. But don't get me wrong, I do not hate him, I just don't feel love for him. Let's just say I like him, 'hmm yeah' like him.

And most importantly, he doesn't care about my ugliness.

I wasn't able to admit all of this before, but since someone appreciated me for who I am, I don't have to see myself as ugly anymore.

Thanks to the bitch who called herself my twin sister, I was nicknamed rat. We had a fight when we were still in high school, and she called me rat in front of the students.

They all picked up after her the next day and now, I couldn't attend any of our school reunions becauseI hate hearing  that nickname.

She just hates me for God knows why, and I hate her for as long as I could remember. She must not know about this boyfriend news, I don't want her to jinx my relationship with her bad mouth.

She thinks she's pretty, but all she has is just a slim body. I would have broken her into two if we aren't related. She's a total bitch and I hate that I'm the only one who had to suffer all this while she's "perfect".

Instead of her being grateful, she is always trying to find trouble with me, saying that I'm an embarrassment to the family, that her friends mock her for having a twin sister like me.

Can you imagine? I mean, what's wrong with me? I'm perfect! Jeffery said I'm beautiful the way I am.

I hate being a part of this family. The times that I do feel like I had one is when I have my seizures. Yeah at least they don't watch me die, they still care about my life a little bit.

And also.."

"Buzz off!" Diana who just finished bathing rushed towards Rihanna and snatched her diary from her. "Are you crazy?! How dare you come into my room and read my diary!" 

Rihanna laughed out loud, "Oh my goodness! You called those stupid rants a diary? Oh gosh! I was actually enjoying the part where you were pointing out your ugly features, until I got to the boyfriend part. You? Boyfriend? Are you sure he's not blind?"  Rihanna laughed.

"Get out!" Diana screamed.

"Don't think so. Don't you think that you have some explanation to give? You called me a bitch in your f*cking diary, and also wanna break me into two? I will love to see you try." Rihanna said, glaring at her, placing her hands on her tiny waist. Her long blonde hair looked as sharp as her gaze. She is someone who cares about her looks a lot and think of Diana as the only stain in her life, as her friend made fun of Diana, her twin sister.

"Rihanna! Get out!" Diana said, pulling the towel on her hair away and letting her wet hair fall on her shoulders, ready for a fight.

"I'm not leaving until you tell me why I'm a bitch." Rihanna said, moving closer to her.

"Isn't it obvious? You are being one right now, and also, you got to see that because you behaved like one. So get the hell out of my room!" Diana said, closing the gap between them, their chests almost hitting each other while she points at the door.

"Diana! Rihanna!" A voice shouted from the bedroom door.

Their heads snapped towards the voice. Their mother shouted with an annoyed expression, "You two are at it again! When will you two start acting like adults?" She said exasperatedly.

"When she stops being a pain in the ass." Rihanna spat then left the room, but not before snapping her finger at Diana. 

Seeing her gone, Diana walked to her dresser and sat down. "Please close the door when you leave," she said to her mother and began to blow-dry her hair.

Her mother stared at her for a while before walking closer to her and turned off the switch to her hair dryer.

"Mom!" Diana exclaimed, looking at her mother.

"You are doing this on purpose, aren't you? You knew she wouldn't eat unless you joined in." her mother said.

"Why should I join because she's here? You guys should just enjoy your food. I will sort myself out, just tell grandma I'm sleeping." Diana said.

"Diana!" Her mother growled. 

"What!" She snapped.

Her mother sighed deeply, "Please join us for breakfast," she said, lowering her voice.

"Fine! I will join you guys in two minutes." Diana said and turned on her hair dryer, blowing her hair again while her mother left her room.

Grandma, Diana and Rihanna's father's mother, usually visited their home once in a while, only staying for a day at a time. She was usually on Diana's side. She wouldn't touch her food unless Diana eats with them.

After drying her hair, she tied it in a bun and put on a Bum shorts and an extra large polo shirt which she tied at the side, revealing her flat tummy.

She dragged her legs to the dining table, creating an annoying screeching sound. This brought a frown to her parents' and Rihanna's faces, except for her grandma, who looks like she's about to tear up by just looking at her.

"Diana, my child, come sit with grandma." her grandma said, pulling out a chair for her.

Diana walked towards her, lips pouted like an innocent child. She sat down, her arms folded in front of her chest.

Her grandma patted her shoulder and stared at her with a sad expression, "You look so thin," she said, staring at her flat tummy which never became large, no matter how much food she ate.

'If she's thin, then I'm nothing but a passing air.' Rihanna thought, rolling her eyes.

"Mom! Can we eat now? The food is getting cold." Thomas, their father said.

"Diana, child, eat." Grandma said, ignoring her son.

"I'm not eating. I only came here because of you. They don't let me eat with them when you are not here, so I don't plan on eating their food now," Diana said.

"Diana!" Thomas growled her name.

"Shut up!" Grandma yelled back while Diana secretly pulled out her tongue at her father, "Why didn't you guys allow her to eat with you? No wonder she's so thin, is it because she's ugly? Is that why she can't sit and eat with all of you?" 

'There she goes again, fighting for someone and hitting the person's spot as well,' Diana thought and rolled her eyes inwardly but still kept enjoying how the three of them remained silent while getting nagged at. The sight is rare, and she wouldn't miss the opportunity to get back at them.

"It's because she and Rihanna always fight whenever they are sitting together." Rachael, their mother said in a low voice. She didn't like grandma's temper one bit, but still had to respect her mother-in-law.

"If that is the case… then shouldn't you send away both of them?" Grandma asked.

Rachael and Thomas became silent after her question. Rihanna glared at Diana who kept sucking up to her grandma, enjoying her parents' uncomfortable expressions.

"Diana, let's go make something else to eat. Let them eat together like they always did," grandma said and stood up with Diana. 

"Mom!" Thomas called out but got ignored. He watched Diana and grandma leave.
