4 FASHION COMPETITION
EVA P.O.V
I got devastated after the dance competition, my parents refused to understand my condition and moreover they feel I am some kind of stupid who was upset over a small thing. My mom always used to say I am beautiful but that day when I look myself at mirror I felt that I am low in terms of everything. I don't think I can ever overcome my fears.
That time I only needed my parents support which I never get but now I don't even care anymore because I learn to live like this but this is not the only thing that makes me confidence degraded, another thing happened to me which shattered me to pieces
*FLASHBACK*
When I get back from the dance competition I directly went to my room and I cried whole night. Sophie is also going to leave the school in two months then what will I do, I dozed off to sleep while crying. Next day I woken up with swollen face and puffy eyes, I don't want to go school but my parents will ask me question which I don't want to answer because to them I am a kid who is crying about a stupid matter. With half heart I get ready for school in my floral dress and tied my hair in ponytail, I have freckle all over my face, I told mom to get me treated but she refused saying it is normal.
I carry my back pack and left the room, I ate my breakfast then I left for school. I just wish everything will be okay today. I enter into my school gate, I started looking for my friends and finally I found Ashley in a corridor
"Hey Ashley, thank god I find you otherwise I was going to freak-out" I said to her because I don't like to roam around alone
"Hey Eva, are you fine now" she asked me putting a hand on my shoulder
"I guess I am fine" I said to her
"Okay lets go to class, Sophie will directly meet us there" she said and we go towards our English class, when we entered the class everyone is looking at us but I guess they are looking only at my sight, the teacher is not present yet. We take a step forward and take our seat, Ashley sit behind me
"Oh there she is a sore loser" shale made a comment on me and students laugh at me, I just put my head down and Ashley didn't say anything on my behalf
"Did you guys see how she tripped on floor" one of the friend of shale made a comment on me and whole class laugh at me
"Guys don't say much because ugly duckling will cry" she said and the other students started calling my ugly duckling until the teacher arrives, Sophie didn't attend the class today. Why these people call me ugly duckling, may be because I have freckle all over my face. I am so grateful that teacher enters the class. My inability is that I can't even cry fully.
This day is horrible to me and as soon as the school gets over I runs towards my home without waiting for Ashley because she didn't said anything when everyone is making fun of me. I reached and spotted my mom reading a magazine
"What happened sweetie" mom asked me when I walk past her
"Mom today everyone mocked me in school and they call me ugly duckling" I hugged my mom and cried over her shoulder
"Sweetie, everything will be alright, I already signed you to dance class" she said and I stopped crying
"Mom you can never understand what is going on with me" I said and rushed towards my room and my mom keeps on calling me but I don't want to talk to her.
Few days went like this and as mom said everyone forgets about that and Sophie, Ashley and I hang together. I don't want any more friends when I have these two and I am kind off invisible to other people because apparently shale create a rumor of mine that I am a lesbian so people like to stay away from me and sometimes they make fun of me but Sophie gave them a befitting reply.
After 1 month
"Eva do you know that there is a fashion competition in our school" Ashley told me and Sophie take the pamphlet from her hand
"Ya that's very good, you should take part in this" I said to Ashley because she is the pretty one
"I am not taking about me, I am talking about you that you should take part in it" she told me and I gave her the shocking expression
"Are you alright, I am not going to be selected in it and you know about my confidence and look at my face and my hairs are always so oily" I told her the reality
" I think Ashley is right because by doing that you can gain some confidence and it can help you to realize your individuality" Sophie told me while reading the pamphlet
"But I don't think the panel member will select me because I am not something special, I am petite and doesn't have unique personality" I told them and they both look at me
"You have the most unique eyes, how many people you know with honey brown eyes" Ashley asked me
"But nobody will notice my eyes over my freckles and I don't think I can do this and I again don't want to give people chance to make fun of me and do you really think I can win over shale" I asked them and they both share a look
"How do you know that shale is participating" Ashley asked me
"It's obvious because she participates in every competition and I don't want to lose again" I said with sad face
"Ashley I know you can do something" Sophie said to Ashley but what can she do
"You will win this time" Ashley said to me and they both shared a knowing look
