She never shopped at the GAP or any yuppie store only because the clothes weren't big enough Her face was plain she didn't have defined cheek bones her breasts were huge but sagged The clothes weren't cool but rather ordinary she was a geek and an ugly one at that She never knew until those boys started whispering I'd never go out with her She made sure not to cry when those older girls in math class said hey stupid, laughing when she turned around she knew damn well he didn't break up with her because his dad thought he was too young it was his friends telling him she wasn't one of them too ugly too much body too dorky Tears fell at night when no one could hear them hitting and she just kept telling herself how right everyone had been She showed them just how ugly she could get ate to fill the gaping hole she had dug lost it to show them just how worthless this life had become she prayed everyday she would just become part of the background be nothing special and anything but extrordinary put a good 60 pounds of fat between herself and everyone else she had convinced herself that in all of those two hundred and fifty pounds there wasn't an ounce to loveBirth sign: Gemini
