Why Decorate

Silent engulf the class as Lunarita stepped across the door. All eyes turned onto her. Some people even cast her side-long glance before turning away, some were peering at her through the thick lenses, however, there was a pair of eyes looking at her, welcomingly. It could only be him, Austin. Lunarita's eyes locked into his and quickened her steps towards the seat beside him. Once seated, the clss became chaostic again. 4G was suddenly turned into a market-liked place.

She was used to this 'coldness'. There was never a day which the class would be welcoming her with open arms. She also knew, the main reason- Herself.

None wanted to be friend with a 'low-class' looking girl like Lunarita. Everyone would be turned off after a quick glance at her. She was a totally 'weirdo' of the class. All her appearance characteristic amde her ended up into a one word discription- ugly.

As for Austin, everyone would think that he was a total contrast of Lunarita. His handsome face always made girls' hearts jumping fast and little people could resist him. Austin was Lunarita's best friend since primary school, thus, he was not really disgusted by Lunarita's weird appearance.

It was last day of term 1, everyone was so restless about sharing their holiday plans. Lunarita was sitting alone as ever. She looked listlessly outside of the class corridor, before she was startled by the appearance of an elegant figure. Her heart skipped a beat as the handsome guy walked pass her class. She had never seen such a perfect looking guy before in her life.

The guy went out of sight and before she could do anything, a high-pitch voice sneered at her, "do you like him?" Anita, the so-called bitchiest and most popular girl in the sec4 cohord, pointed toward the guy's direction after she spoke. "have you even look into a mirror and ask yourself 'what am i?'" Rage began filling Lunarita's heart, she clinched her fist. Anita continued, "well, i think i will help you answer that, you are like some two-legged lizard with a sparrow nest hanging on your freaky head! hahaha, are you planning tolay your eggs on it? Please, i bet the department of livestock development won't allow your worthless species to breed. You will corrupt the environment!" She couldn not take it anymore, too unbearable, tears began to swelled up her eyes, her face turning red and her whole body was trembling with fury. No one had ever said to her such harsh words to her, no one. Why was she deserving this!?!? Lunarita let off a wail and ran off, tears streaming down her face like a penetrated dam, the wall within her herat broken into billions pieces.

"the new boy, Axel, is going to be mine~!" Anita yelled satisfyingly after Lunarita and her group of friends went into an uproar.

Lunarita hid herself until darkness began to envelope the school and a lamp post flickered opened, it was safe to go, she thought. Slowly, she dragged her feet home, heart was as heavy as if a mountain was placed inside.

A dark figure was waiting for her eagerly in front of her house. As she approached her house, Austin hurriedly rushed to her side. Upon seeing his worried face, 'gulp' she swallowed saliva hard. he was going to lecture me for another hours! she thought.

"How are you?" Austin asked, anxiety filled his voice.

But after the sentence, Lunarita broke into a loud crying again. The incident flashed inside her mind like a movie replayed. Startled, Austin pulled her into a hug and gently rubbed her head in consolation. After a while, Lunarita slowly separate from Austin and looked straight into his face and said determinely, " I want to change."
