Beauty in the Broken

My name is Violet Wilson and I'm 17 years old . Everyone calls me a nerd because of my appearance which I didn't really care about.

I woke up then reach for my phone to look at the time and it shows 5:30 AM then I decided to to get ready for school, I took a long relaxing shower so I could pamper myself; something I don't usually do as I woke up to early and having trouble continuing my sleep.

I took my time washing my hair and body with different kinds of strawberry scented products. I quickly brushed my teeth during the shower before hopping out and wrapping myself with a towel.

After finishing I went to my closet and grab the first thing that I saw. Loose pants and a worn out gray T-shirt and then slipped them on easily and made my way to mirror in the corner to take a look at myself and what had I become.

My long blonde, almost white hair shone as I stared at them disapprovingly. I briskly wrapped them up into a bun and placed a messy black wig over it. My fake, large, thick rimmed glasses nicely hid my hazel eyes and I gave my reflection a slight, satisfied nod. The glasses covered up half of my face, which I preferred; as, due to this, no one would pay attention to me.

Yes, I had to wear a disguise to cover who I really was. I stared at the now unfamiliar girl in the mirror and wished that I could do something about my above average height. The girl behind the guise had beauty that destroyed her family. I couldn't let her live freely anymore. It sounds cliche but this is what I need to do for my mental health survival.

I couldn't help but remember my past, something that haunted me through nightmares every night. My Doctor had recommended me some specific sleeping pills due to this.

I walked downstairs to confirm that my mother came home last night. But, unfortunately, she didn't, as usual. She takes extra shifts just so she can distance herself from me. Well not that I really care though.

I grabbed an apple from the fridge for my breakfast to fill my stomach, close it the go out from house after locking the door and started walking towards my school, which is only a 15 minutes walks from my house.

The walks are really refreshing as the breeze swayed my hair gently while I breath a fresh air. Moment later I arrived at school and walked towards my locker, placing the unnecessary books I didn't require inside, while pulling out the books I needed.

I feel someone staring at me, when I turn my head to see who is staring sharply at me, I found Jessica Hunter looking at me, with an amused smirk plastered on her face, I just walk with my head hung down passing her on the way to my first class.

She was the cheerleader's team captain with long blonde hair, blue eyes and a slim figure. Just by looking at her, you could tell that she is 'The Queen Bitch'. I mean slut. I mean Queen Bee, whatever... you know what I mean. She doesn't like me anyway.

"Look who is here girls!" She announced to her wannabes as she points at me.

I didn't reply because I didn't want to attract attention towards myself.

"Woah, cat got your tongue nerdy?" She asks with a bit of annoyance in her voice.
