Synopsis

Chapter 1 - The Prom Queen Contest

I was going to sleep in my funky old store with my status "Daisy the stinky girl", written by my step sister Anabel, after completing house chores at my step mother's lavish house.

But just at the moment, my eye caught the sight. It was five in the morning, and it was time to walk to school. I tiredly grabbed my self-stitched clothes and my plastic hand bag. I was in such a hurry that I accidentally spilled rotten soup on my clothes, and luckily I had no perfume, so I hopelessly went down the stairs. I was on the way when my shoe tore apart. With a bunch of frustration, I screamed "uuuuggghhhh". Like every day I got humiliated by my fellows, especially Naomi, who belonged to a rich background and was the daughter of our principal, and she always showed off, like who gave her permission to do that, but I just said that in my head so no one else could hear but me. It was the start of our first class, and I was walking to the locker when I saw Naomi coming here with a pretty top, and my eyes were dazzling because she was about to give it to.......her locker right next to me, and then she looked at me and said, "Ooh, little Daisy, you are so ugly" and then she laughed like it gave her happiness. "Kids, listen, we are having a prom queen contest tomorrow eligible for all tenth graders, so I am looking forward to having maximum participation, especially from you Naomi." Mr. Bitter Ground announced that to us, but actually Naomi only because she is so pretty and Naomi can't resist until she irritates me, so she showed off. "Did you hear that it's eligible for all of us except Daisy the stinky?" She was saying this like I was a dwarf, but deep inside I really want to participate. After our science lecture, it was recess time and I didn't have any money and was so hungry that I burst into tears when Naomi got into action, "Hey, don't puke in here, it is not your property." I walked away to another table where Burseal was sitting. She was a new admission and kind of like me, but she didn't talk that much and was another prey of Naomi. After a long period, school ended and I returned home, where my stepmother was waiting for the maid (actually me) to clean the house, which I did, and since today was laundry day, it was confirmed that I would have no chance to prepare for the prom queen contest. I was doing Anabel's maxi when I had an idea; I stole that maxi for the contest secretly, and Anabel didn't even mention it, not to save me from my step mother's scolding, but because she has so many clothes that she didn't remember. It was four at night when I completed my work and went into my room with the maxi. I had one hour to complete my look with no make-up, so I just opened my blonde hair (something I like about myself) and used a pen as my eyeliner and paint as my lip stick, and it turned out to be great. I went early, but it took more time to arrive because of the maxi, and today no one was humiliating me. Even Naomi's eyes were wide open when she saw my look because she had the exact same maxi, but then she chilled because her make-up was better than mine, but I didn't know her evil plan. Everyone said that I look prettier than her, which makes Naomi burned out, but the new thing was that she didn't say anything, and when it was time to give a performance, she took out a paint bottle from her Gucci bag and BOOM, she was about to spill it on mine when she accidentally threw it at Jessica (our cruel judge), who immediately disqualified her from the contest. I was happy, but I feel bad for her. Two hard hours later, the contest ended and Jessica announced the winner, and it was... Naomi, and then she apologized and the winner was Daisy, meaning me. I was so happy after receiving the trophy. At the end of school, I hid Anabel's maxi in my locker and wore my old clothes happily. Today was the best day of my life ever.
