I went to a
biology meeting for my college. I sat next to
a boy who
I've only met a few times. He texted someone and then said
he was
having issues with his ex girlfriend. He
proceeded to ask me if I had anyone
special.
Imagining my boy in my head, I smiled, and
said yes. "Go on, tell me why you like
him.
Cheese it up," he urged. "He
just…makes me feel…pretty. I don't feel
pretty a lot.
Boys don't make me feel pretty, and he
just..does," I said, turning red.
"Well you ARE pretty," this guy next to me
said.
I turned away shyly and said, "My birthmark makes me
insecure sometimes.
People stare and I get nervous. I don't
feel beautiful."
He crossed his arms and shook his head and
told me, "I didn't even know you HAD
a birthmark
until three days ago. I live a few doors down from
you, too.
Wanna
know the first thing I noticed about you? You have
beautiful eyes."
I looked at him and had tears in my eyes,
whispered "Thank you" and then the
meeting started.
