Billie was once perceived as unattractive; she was overweight and had a facial burn that made her look different. With her chubby face, she often faced criticism. In contrast, Blake, her sister, was a slim and striking girl, drawing the attention of all the boys at school. Billie’s life was complicated by heartbreak when she discovered that her boyfriend, whom she believed to be her one true love, betrayed her by dating her sister instead. Heartbroken, Billie found solace through the support of a friend and a mysterious man who stood by her side. With their help, Billie transformed into a stunning goddess, more beautiful and slender than ever before, attracting the attention of many men, including her former boyfriend, who now desperately wanted her back. However, Billie had fallen in love with the mysterious man who had helped her through her struggles. Now she faces a choice: Will she give her ex-boyfriend a second chance, or will she embrace the feelings she has for the handsome man who has been quietly protecting her from the shadows?
View MoreBillie POV She is nothing to me, Nate had said. I slowly walked toward the cafeteria, only to find an anxious Ann waiting for me, her worried eyes searching my face. “What the hell happened, Billie? I saw John and Blake head in after you and Nate, and I was worried, but I just couldn't do anything,” she exclaimed. If it had been a minute earlier, she would have seen the tear stains on my face, but I had wiped them away on my way there. “It’s okay,” I said to Ann. But I knew that if I didn’t tell her what happened in the soccer changing room, things would only get worse. So, I shared everything with her as we walked back to class. I had refused to eat; not because I was angry, but simply because I didn’t feel like it. Ann looked at me with a shocked expression. “What the hell did Nate do?” she gritted her teeth. I knew she would be angry, and I figured it was best to tell her now so I could find a way to deal with it. I had known this from the start. I realized Nate would be like
Nate POV “No, I can’t, Billie. I can’t do that. You’re a precious person to me,” I said to her and yes she is, she might not know it but she is the one friend have liked since I came in here. Though it doesn't seem like it. “What do you mean, Nate?” she asked her eyes confused. But I had to say it now, whether it was going to hurt her it was the only way she could be free. I had been distant from Billie the entire morning and I hated myself for it. It was only the way for her not to be bullied. I had not spoken to her or even gone near her but now I just couldn't control myself as I had dragged her in her. I know she was also confused. About me being distant. But I had to and now I had to tell her. “Billie, I’m sorry for what I’m about to do… I—” Suddenly, the door opened, and John stepped in with Blake by his side, staring at us. Blake smiled mischievously. “So, what are you going to say, Nate? What are you hiding?” What the hell are they doing here? I thought. I didn't remem
Billie POV It had been two days since the website application. Ann had insisted that I sign in right away, as it was the only option. I didn’t want to, but she assured me this would be different. I had tried similar things in the past, only to find they were all scams. Despite my reluctance, Ann's reassurances gave me some hope. I asked her if she knew anyone who had successfully used the site, but she replied no, claiming she just felt confident it would work. “It’s going to work,” she said, and that was a bit overwhelming. She spent the entire day at my house, helping me take the pictures needed for the application. Most of her time was spent doing my hair and dressing me in clothes that felt awkward and out of place. Balek walked in on us at one point and mocked my appearance when she saw me in the big gown. That night, I barely slept as I kept checking the website. What made Ann feel so confident? I wondered as I browsed the site. All I saw were older men and women who looke
Ann POV “Oh no,” I muttered as I scrolled through my laptop, desperately looking for something to add to my science test. I had been scrolling for hours without finding anything useful. All I kept seeing were some ridiculous solutions that would definitely earn me an F if I wasn’t careful. I leaned back in my chair, wishing Billie were here. I sighed; if she were here, I knew she could solve this problem. She was a genius. A total genius, even though she didn't focus on science — I bet she could find the answer in a minute if she just took a quick look. I admired her intelligence; she’s incredibly smart and always seems to know the solution before anyone finishes asking the question. Unfortunately, John took advantage of her talent. He used her to get an A in English, and once he achieved that, he turned his back on her. He never really loved her. I wished I were just as brilliant as her — then I wouldn't be racking my brain over this stupid science test. At least there’s something
John POV I just can't stop wandering. Is that guy I mean Nate in love with Billie or he is just playing her just like I had done? It seems confusing. He is handsome every girl demanded him since he had arrived at our school just a few days ago, he had been somehow interested in Billie from the first day after he had saved her from Blake in the bathroom. He had been glued to her since then always at her side and every time I wished to knock the air off Billie and make her feel bad he was always there helping her out and always saying he was her friend Which isn't normal, a normal guy wouldn't be nice to Billie out of the blue. She is fat, with an ugly birthmark that makes her look ugly that she is herself. And she is somehow irritating as Blake said always eating nonstop and visiting the toilet many times. I just can't see why Nate is gluing to her. Except he wants something. Maybe he also heard how I had used her for my grade and dumped her, maybe he is also trying the same thing.
Billie POV Traveling to Grandma's place kept me under control. It was a holiday I thought would never happen. I found out that I was the only one Grandma had invited; she left Blake out of it. I know everyone is aware that Grandma has the least spot for Blake. She always says he takes after Daddy, especially when she first met him years ago the day he came home with my mom. He was arrogant and always looked down on people, though I hadn't seen Dad act that way myself. However, he usually sides with Blake whenever we fight, and I can't be shocked because Blake is his favorite, and looks like him. I knew I had to be gone for Christmas, but I couldn't stop thinking about leaving Ann alone, even though she said her parents would come to spend the holiday at her aunt's place. Still, she ranted about my trip to Grandma's when I told her. "It's just for a few weeks," I said. But she insisted on going with me, even though her parents were coming too. I had to turn her down. I needed to go
Billie pov I tried to calm myself down as we drove home, staying silent the entire time. Even Nate seemed tense; he knew something had happened, but I wasn't in the mood to fill him in on what Alice had said. Honestly, I didn't care whether she liked him or not, but she shouldn’t have overstepped her bounds. I didn't have any feelings for Nate, and I wasn't sure I ever would. Just because he had been a nice guy and friendly with me for a few days didn't mean anything significant. It felt like he was after something, and I didn’t think I had whatever it was. I looked at myself. If he wanted a girl to hook up with, he could have gone for someone attractive like Alice. So why come to me? I couldn't stop wondering what his mission was, and why he was trying so hard to befriend me. He knew I was overweight, yet he still chose to hang out with me and defended me when someone insulted me. I knew he was nice and a good person, and I could see he was a better guy than John. John was crazy
Nate POV "And who is the girl for you to defend?" The tall, grumpy man with big black eyes seemed important—he was one of the few customers who usually patronized my aunt. Despite his significance, he was very rude to Billie, calling her names when she was already disliked by others. I had no choice but to stand up to him, and now he was questioning my connection to her. His arrogance was evident; he was proud of his status. I could boast about my father being the heir to one of the most profitable businesses in New York before his demise, but I wasn't raised that way. I despised the idea of acting tough, especially not in front of Billie. “She is my…” I noticed the entire room freeze at my confession, even Alice seemed interested. “She is my friend,” I said, locking eyes with the man. “Close friend.” His expression brightened for a moment. “Close friend, you say?” I nodded, knowing I had to tread carefully; I couldn't afford to offend my aunt's VIP customer. I invited her
Billie POV "You have to look really good, Billie," Ann said as she tried on various outfits for me. I sat by the mirror, watching her select the clothes I was supposed to wear for my date. It was she who had made me wear that strange dress that caught everyone's attention. While I was cornered by John, Nate came to my rescue, but then he also went a bit crazy and asked me out on a date. I couldn’t believe it. How could I go on a date with the most handsome boy in our year? I felt a mix of emotions—half happy, half amazed, and also half sad. I knew I’d been on the girls' red list since the beginning, and now it seemed they had a real reason to disturb my peace. "I think this one suits you," Ann said, pulling me back from my thoughts as she held up a long pink dress with short sleeves. I recognized it right away; she had bought it for me the day we went shopping together. I shot her a concerned look, trying to make her feel guilty. "Ann, don't forget that you were against this date
Billie POV Being the chubby, unattractive, and unluckiest girl in school wasn’t easy. It often felt like hell. “Look at her,” sneered one of the girls in the corner. “She’s one of the ugliest girls in our year,” she told her friends, who all snickered and shifted their gaze toward me, mumbling among themselves. I knew better; it wasn’t the first time I had heard such comments. I just walked on, my head buried in my palm as I quickened my pace. She wasn’t wrong, I thought. To be frank, what she said was the truth. I was a chubby girl, and I often felt too old for my age. I had a big stomach, and people frequently teased me about my arms being big and flabby, much like those of an older person. I weigh as much as an elephant, and I was often called that. To make matters worse, I have a birthmark on my cheek that only adds to the mocking. It felt like hell every time I walked around, hearing people talk behind my back. My mom always told me I was beautiful, but deep down, I knew...
