Williams' household

Finally done
After completing the cleaning work Sam sighed and went to freshen up and go to college

"I'm leaving mom!" She said and left in a hurry worrying if her mom hands her more work

But she was wrong ...

Her mom was standing at the front door

"Not so soon honey ... I want you to bring the grocery while coming back and don't forget to tutor the neighbour's son Ok and while you're at it ....

Sam zoned out

Why mom ... Why can't you give Jaden some work too why me All.The.Time

"I got it mom I'll go now " she said sorrowfully

~ At Sam's University~

" Hey people what's poppi'n " Sam visited her college group

" Hey Sam"
"Hey bub"

"Hey you came "

They all greeted her

While she was searching someone special

She then felt a weight on her shoulder and hands on her waist

Ethan

Sam's boyfriend ... Who was the daily dose of happiness for her

Why?

Coz all her life she was a she
Her mother always treated discriminated her coz she was a she
She payed her college fees by working part time
That's when she found Ethan , who supported her and gave her the love she missed out
Now her life was a bit better .... Not that she felt any difference

~Ava and Emily's school ~
After the long and tiring assembly... The student dispersed to their classrooms
Ava , Emily , Shawn , Eric &Vanessa were classmates while Stacy was only their busmate... So she separated on the 2nd floor of the three tired building

While going to the class they encountered Mrs. Knight : The history teacher
There was this popular saying amongst students
"If you see Mrs. Knight first thing in the morn
Girl or boy you'll MOURN "
Seeing her everyone covered their eyes and turned over ... Except Emily

Coz she knew ....

It was her turn to mourn
"Oh Emily dear ..." Started Mrs. Knight

"Morning Mrs. Knight..." Responded the mourner aka Emily

"I am assuming you've seen your last SAT results ... Have you? "

The victim nodded

"That implies that you've noted that your marks have decreased to a concerning level"
Concerning? Ma'am pleas get your facts checked Ava though... Ofcourse she couldn't speak it coz she didn't wanna be attacked by The curse of Mrs. Knight

While our victim was now nodding vigorously head lowered

Emily was nodding ..... But in reality.... She was zoned out ... Her insecure mind taking control and the voice in her head making her doubt herself

First you score goes down , next you don't feel like studying... Next thing you know you're a drop out unemployed wore moving along the streets

You're soooooo dumb

So miss dumbhead wanna plan out how to beg ... Oh oh... Let's first plan out how to fake cry for sympathy

And it was endless .... She was so engrossed in her mindlessness that she didn't notice when the cursed mrs. Knight went out and now her friends were trying to bring her out of that state

"FOR GOODNESS SAKE EMILY BROWN COME BACK TO EARTH" was all Ava said to bring Emily back to reality

Her eyes were wet .. unknowingly...hands shaking ...mind blank ... That's when she hurriedly went to the washroom nearby

"Is she alright?" Asked a worried Shawn

"Yeah she is ... Her hair messed up she'll come back after taming them" Ava assured ... Coz that's what Emily always said ... The lie she always said

The truth was she locked herself in one of the cubicals and screamed a silent scream ... No one knew she was struggling.
She also developed this habit of cleaning her hand like crazy bruising herself .
But no one knew .
No one .

Ava sat down on her regular seat in the middle row ... Saving the seat infront of her for her best friend Emily.

"Hey Ava ... I saw your story yesterday.... Recommend me something from that burger joint will you ?" Asked a girl who Ava failed to recognise...

"Yeah .. sure ...?" Ava replied unsure

Emily entered, hands bruised but covered by her oversized jumper.

Ava waved to her and Emily sat infront.

Ava lighted her phone's screen to switch it off but she saw some notifications.... All were comments from people she never met . All of them praising her perfect life ,her clothes,her pictures ......

Ava however wasn't really interested....

All they saw was a smiling face ....
What lay undiscovered was the face beneath that smile

At first Ava started taking pictures of her life and things around her as a hobby ... She was pretty good .... Then people began to flood her with comments....

Once she fell ill and couldn't do much for a week ... Someone asked for a review ... She didn't reply

Her followers , they people she didn't knew , flooded her comments again ... Not praising her but saying she is an arrogant bitch, just another girl with attitude problems...

Which made her wear this fake mask ... She still takes pictures ... But as a burden.... She enjoys nothing .... She lives a fake life .... Pleasing others .... Degrading herself.

"Students I request you all to switch off you're cellphones and get ready for class" the teacher arrived and said

Ava switched off her phone after thanking every stranger she could
