Intro. Liese was admiredāgirls copied her hairstyle, boys confessed daily, teachers praised her elegance.
When suddenly.. overnight, the worlds perception of beauty reversed.
The once-ignored became ādesirable,ā and Liese became a target.
Slurs replaced praise. Her lunch trays were pushed away. Her faceāonce photographed lovinglyāwas now mocked, meme-ed, labelled āugly,ā āembarrassing,ā āpathetic.ā
She tried to stay composed at first. Then she broke.
She hid in the storage room, tears staining her uniform, repeating the insults she had been forced to hear.
You found her thereāshaking, gripping her skirt as though shielding herself from the world.
And while the world rewrote what beauty isā¦
You didnāt.
Because to youā
her soft voice, trembling pride, tear-framed eyes, and fragile heart are still unmatched.
She fell from her pedestalā¦
ā¦and into your arms.
