"Look guys, I don't want to be the most popular or the smartest guy at school. I just want to be a normal student. I just want to live a simple College life, get my Bachelor's Degree, get a proper job. That's it." Kyle stated, in a matter of factly tone.
"You can do whatever you want to do, son. But don't you also want to have a fun College life? Like making lots of friends, going to parties, go on a date, or maybe get yourself a girlfriend... Don't be like your father who waited for 8 years before he decided to pursue me." Kara cajoled, while giving her husband a knowing look."At least I wasn't an asshole jock back in College." Clark retorted."I can't believe I was born in this world to be your referee... But anyway, I hope you're not planning on walking with me inside the campus because it's gonna be embarrassing for me." Kyle enunciated."No worries, son. We're not planning to do that. But before you go, let's take a selfi"Hi, can I ask you a question? What happened to your face?" Chelsea curiously asks her."There's the million-dollar question again." Mira said to herself.Since the day she started going to school, everyone have been asking her about her face. At first, she was willing to answer that question, but as she grows up, she's getting tired of it already.But not answering the question will be totally rude of her, so she decided to speak again."I was born with Giant congenital nevi, so that's why I have a black, distinctive mark on the right side of my face." she answers, in a polite tone.She felt more awkward when she heard all of their classmates murmuring at each other, except for the guy who's sitting beside her. He just gave her a friendly smile."Thank you for introducing yourself, Miss Ames. Next in line is, Mr. Kyle Andrada..." Mr. Aiden called for the next student.Mira secretly hea
"It's easy for you to say that because you haven't experienced being laughed at by other people because of your face. I mean, look at you, your gorgeous, and everyone likes you..." Mira blurted out."Wait, did you just say that I'm gorgeous?" Kyle asks, while grinning from ear to ear.Mira feels her face burning, and she knew that she's blushing like an idiot again. She took a deep breath to calm herself."Look, that's not the point. What I'm trying to say is, for someone like you, who has a normal-looking face, you won't be able to understand what I'm going through..." she tries to make her point clear."And that's why I'm trying my best to understand your situation, Mira. If you keep pushing me away, how can I be aware of what you're going through? I want to know and understand everything about you?" Kyle tries to explain his side.Mira was suddenly confused by how Kyle is acting towards her. What's with this gu
Her collection of bandannas and scarves gave her a since of comfort, protection and security as she was growing up. She feels like she can never live or survive without them... Mira checked her reflection at the mirror, and she looks...Okay. She doesn't need to put on any make up or anything because the only thing that people can see is her huge birthmark. She then grabbed her purse, and then went back to Kyle who's waiting for her at the living room... ==================== Kyle stopped his car infront of a huge houss. Based on his car's GPS map, this is Chelsea Summer's residence, where the party is going to be held. "So... We're here. Are you ready to make your grand entrance?" Kyle suddenly asked Mira. Mira didn't answer, as she stares at the big house. Kyle noticed that Mira keeps on wiping her hands on her jeans, and she looks nervous as hell. "Mira?" Kyle calls her name again. "Huh? You were saying something?" Mira absent-mindedly asked him back. "Okay, you
"Hi, can I talk to you for a minute?" Chelsea suddenly asked. "Yeah, sure..." Mira agreed rightaway, and she waited for Chelsea to speak. "What I meant was... I want to talk to you in a quiet place. Not here. Let's go to the garden, shall we?" Chelsea suggested. "Uh, okay." Mira replied. Chelsea asked her two friends to follow behind them. Now, they are making their way to Chelsea's garden, away from the noise and the crowd... "Chelsea, thank you so much for inviting me. And I'm terribly sorry for ruining your party. You see---!" Mira wasn't able to finish her explanation when Chelsea suddenly spoke. "How dare you spit on Kyle's clothes! Don't you know how expensive his shirt is? You won't be able to afford it with your allowance! You might not be able to eat for a year to pay for it!" Chelsea angrily exclaimed. "We should teach this country gal a lesson, Chelsea!" Margot, who is one of Chelsea's friends, joined their conversation. ''You're totally right. So, what now?
Meanwhile, Kyle angrily crumpled the paper. "What a childish act coming from you, guys. What's your problem with Mira? Why are you ganging up on her?" he asked all of their classmates, while looking frustrated. No one responded to his questions, as they pretended to be busy doing their own thing. Kyle was about to say something else but he wasn't able to do so because the professor suddenly entered the room. He looked at Mira, who obviously looked so sad. "Everything will be alright, Mira." he whispered, as he can feel her pain... ==================== Lunchtime came. Mira's currently ordering her food at the school's cafeteria. Kyle asked her to order something for her, since he's still at the library to give back to books that he borrowed two weeks ago. Just like what they usually do, they will eat lunch together, then get ready for their next classes in the afternoon... Mira's now walking while carrying a tray which is laden with so much food. Then without a w
Later that night... Mira looked herself at the mirror, while looking satisfied. She's wearing a pink one piece dress, and Nana Rosie told her that it belongs to Kyle's younger sister, Kylie. Kylie's currently studying in London, and she lives with their grandfather there. Kylie's dress perfect fits her body like s second skin, and it feels so comfy. She can't explain why, but she feels like she doesn't need to wear her bandanna to cover half of her face. She feels so free in this paradise, and she never thought that she won't be needing to put anything to cover the black mark on her face. She always thought that those coverings have been a part of her life, and she'll wear it until the day she dies, but now, it's totally different! Mira stops daydreaming when she heard someone knocking at the door. She quickly opens the door, and she lets out a big smile when she saw Nana Rosie. "Oh, my goodness! Look at you, Mira! You really are pretty, and the dress looks great on you
"I can't believe this is happening to me! I've never been in a relationship before, and you're my first girlfriend. I really don't know how to be a great boyfriend but we'll make this work, right?" Kyle nervously asks her. "You're also my first romance, Kyle. But we'll do this one step at a time. I'm not really dreaming of a perfect relationship but whatever happens, we'll be together through thick and thin." Mira tries to reassure her boyfriend. "Yes, we will. So, can we seal our deal with a kiss?" Kyle said, while smiling sheepishly. "I thought you'd never ask." Mira whispered. Their lips met again for another sweet round of kiss... ================= Every students at Waldorf University are looking at Kyle and Mira while they are walking together, while holding hands. They are aware that the their fellow students are talking about them, but they don't give a damn. As long as their not hurting anyone, they are free to love each other. Mira is also aware that everybo
She can feel their warmth, and they welcomed her with open arms... She feels so loved. "Thank you so much... I'm sure I will like all of them." Mira said, as she's trying her best not to cry. "Alright, let's all sit down and start with a prayer first." Kyle's father suggested. Kyle and Mira sat next to each other, and started praying first... =================== The four of them are now having a hearty meal while they are happily chatting. "So, tell me. How did you meet each other?" Mrs. Andrada started asking questions. "We actually met at Waldorf University. We are in the same class. I was trying to avoid having a deeper relationship with other people because of my skin condition, but Kyle always makes sure to talk to me everyday until I'm starting to warm up little by little." Mira recounted her first meeting with Kyle. "A
