Chapter 2 : Miss Prissy Let me tell you about the man who destroyed my life . My older sister Caroline met Lily , and they became best friends forever . My mom used to take me on her play dates , so she would get rid of me , and there I met Ethan , who was a few years older than Lily . He always protected me and took care of me . I guess I was like a pet . But Ethan ... he was always special to me . He was patient , he explained things carefully , and he even participated in my games . " You're so creative ! You have to be an artist when you grow up ! " he used to tell me . It must have been silly and boring for a kid like him to play doctor with my stuffed animals , do puzzles , or just talk about my fantasies . The Fairfax's were really , really rich , so they had a beach house ... those were the best days of my life . We played in the sand and Ethan helped me build forts and collect seashells . Sometimes during the summer their cousin Tom , who was the same age as Lily and my sister , would come over . He was funny , and I adored him , but nothing like Ethan . He was ... my hero . His parents treated me better than my own mom , and they adored me . In time ... I realized that Ethan was a good boy , my friend , but also ... very popular at school . I was his friend , but I didn't belong to his world : rich , beautiful and intelligent . It seemed that when he grew up , he would have everything he wanted . On the other hand , I was an introverted girl . Ethan helped me , took care of me , accompanied me , we played together .... I naively thought it would always be like that . Oh boy ... but time changes , people change . I should have known . " Here comes the Fairfax ... OMG , Ethan is so gorgeous ! " " Lily couldn't be more beautiful !!! I wish I could be like them ... " I heard the kids say at school . Shortly after that , they moved to Europe for a few years and when they came back , my God , it was even worse . Fast - forward to adolescence , and Lily and Ethan returned to fulfill the high school dream . Ethan's blond hair was perfect , his clothes were fantastic , he had grown several inches , and his muscles had grown , he was super hot . He was the best student in his class and well liked by everyone ... he was the ideal boy . Lily was beautiful with her long hair and designer clothes , just perfect . While my sister usually told me , " Don't tell anyone , we are sisters . I don't want anyone to associate me with a girl like ... you . " And I was ... well ... me . From being a chubby girl , my curves began to show , and I drew all kinds of looks , but I was an overweight , fat woman , at least by the standards of that stupid school . I was a girl who had grown up , and my body was different . He looked me up and down with a look I couldn't decipher . He told me that I had to keep studying , that I was very bright . I liked to study , I was a good student , so it was easy . I was kind of nerdy , but no one paid attention to the chubby silly who never spoke . Now we saw less of each other , once in a while for a birthday or a party , and he was far away from me , he rarely spoke to me , Lily and Caroline would go to parties , wearing beautiful dresses that I would never fit into " You're not invited , sister , please don't even dream of going with us , " Caroline would yell at me , Sometimes Ethan would go with them , other times he would go to his own parties . Toni would come in the summer , and we would play video games like nothing happened . 173 P P Chapter 2. Miss Prissy And the worst thing that could happen did happen , maybe it was inevitable . After a while I realized that my feelings for Ethan had turned into a crush , my first crush . I thought about him all the time , I felt that I would never get over this crush . But it all fell apart his senior year . Ethan got into the best college in another city and was leaving town . I lived in my world , watching him from a distance . The prom was approaching, I was not invited , and I ... secretly dreamed that he would ask me to go with him , of course it was a Platonic dream that would never happen , ever . What a silly girl ! And yet , I had seen a beautiful dress that I had already tried on and that I thought fit me very well , and I dreamed of buying it . Until one day , my world changed . I was alone in a classroom and when I heard voices , I don't know why , but I hid , I wanted to leave quickly , but as soon as I saw Ethan , I stayed there , behind a desk . Big mistake . Ethan was with some of his classmates , and they were talking . " You know ... I think I'd like to invite your little friend " Frank says ... a goofy dark - haired boy who likes to bully other students , I think my sister hung up with him a couple of times . They laughed , but when Frank mentioned that they were all silent . " Who ? " " You know ... the curvy one ... or as you call her ... Prissy , " he says in a high voice , no doubt laughing at Ethan . I felt my heart skip a beat . " What do you want with her ? " Ethan asked . " Um , I don't know , maybe go out with her ? It's not that bad ... and it looks like she's never been out with anyone before . Unless she's your girlfriend Frank hinted . ' She's not my girlfriend , " he quickly blurts out . Of course , I'm not ... and yet I can't help but feel pain when I hear it from his lips . We are nothing , not even friends , I think . " Then ... you wouldn't mind if I asked her to go to the prom with me , would you ? " Ethan stares at Frank and says every word with a lot of hate , words that I remember perfectly and will remember for the rest of my life . " Are you kidding ? " " I'm not ... you look nervous , man ... " Frank adds maliciously . " Why would you want to go out with that ... girl ? You want to be a joke ? Unless you like girls ... way overweight ... like a little pig , " he says and laughter explodes . Even Frank laughs . Miss Piggy or rather Miss Prissy , " says another and the laughter deepens . I feel my heart break right there . " A little whale , you mean ! " Another says , gesturing , walking as if he were very heavy , dragging his feet . " Maybe not so little ! adds another , and they laugh again . " Who would want an ugly girl ? " says another , still laughing . Ethan doesn't laugh , but I see him smiling and looking at the others seriously . I wish it could have ended there , but obviously not . As you can imagine , I didn't go to their prom , but I stayed up all night crying . I don't think I've ever cried so much in my life . The next day at school , I was the butt of the joke : the other students , who never noticed me , started calling me all kinds of animal jokes , and they made pig noises when I walked by . They would make me fall in the hallways , throw trashy at me , and have fun watching me suffer 2 : 3 P Chapter 2 : Miss Prissy Ethan went off to college and I endured the mockery for years . All through high school I was Miss Prissy , Miss Piggy , whale , elephant , and any other hilarious nickname they could come up with . No one wanted to go out with me or be my friend . Lily tried to defend me and go with me , but my sister pulled her to the popular side . I cried every day before school and my grades suffered , because most of the time I said I was sick . I hated myself and my self - esteem suffered , all because of the words of a boy who was supposed to be my friend . Why did he do this to me ? I graduated , but I didn't get into college , and my life changed forever at that moment . I lost my way . I always avoided going to the Fairfax house , their parents called me and asked for me . I avoided even leaving the house for fear of seeing him . Tom visited me , and we remained friends , at a distance . He even confessed to me that he was gay , which the rest of his family didn't know . He was my only friend for a long time . When Lily and Caroline graduated , I went to the event early , watched him from a distance , congratulated Lily , and then ran away . I haven't seen him since . I know that he had gone to Europe to finish his studies and that he was a successful man . I worked and struggled to recover and finally , after years ... high school was nothing more than a horrible memory . But to this day , I don't even have a pink dress , so people won't call me pig , I walk everywhere in fear , praying that no one remembers my nicknames . All because of that stupid comment from the popular kid . All because of Ethan , sitting across from me in that conference room , smiling at me , calling me Prissy as if nothing had ever happened , as I crashed to the floor of the conference room .
