6. I'm Sorry, Tokyo | Brooke Alexx

Hogwarts, Year Three, Age Thirteen
And I let myself get so blinded by comparisons
I watered down my differences
Made the joke before someone else did

She hated her eyes.

They were the colour of poop. They weren't as pretty as Serena or V's.

She was SO UGLY.

One day in the girl's bathroom, she tried her hardest to make herself look like she had a double eyelid with an eyeliner pencil. She then tried to put in blue coloured contacts. After the third time of failing at putting a contact in, she burst into TEARS.

"I'm NEVER going to be pretty!!"

"Lisa?" Arms enveloped her. It was Misa. "Your eyes are pretty because they kiss in the corners and glow like warm tea. You're pretty."
