It shouldn't come as a surprise now to hear a girl say "I wish I was prettier" that even those who already have the looks would seek more.
"You could do better than that" Was among the snide remarks one would often hear in the richer part of town when the pretty girls would tell people how to dress. The same remark was given to one of the girls they would target with bullying too, Sarah. Sarah was never one to enjoy dressing how everyone did. She just went with what she had. The bullying was getting too her though. Not like she had initially cared but after months and months of the torment she normally goes through, it was time to draw the line.
As the saying goes: "if you can't beat them, join them" as what Sarah did. A complete makeover was needed. Everything to overthrow one of the girls. In her search for skin therapies though, she stumbled upon the strangest thing... to use sesame seeds when taking a bath.
Without a second thought or even looking up the validity of the statement, she just gave it a try. She filled the tub floor with sesame seeds then let those soak in the warm water before she finally soaked in the water too.
Minutes passed and nothing seemed to happen. Her soaking time extended and kept extending when she couldn't see changes
"It's a hoax" she said, her voice brimming with irritation but as she got up to rinse, she noticed that the seeds wouldn't come off. That it almost looked as if the seeds became her skin.
The sight horrified her. She began frantically grabbing every scrub and brush she could lay her hands on in an attempt to get the seeds off. Nothing worked. She was screaming. Crying out of sheer fear at what she had done to herself. There was only one way to go if she wanted to get the seeds off. So with quiet steps, she proceeded to the kitchen and grabbed the sharpest knife she could find. Slowly, she began peeling the skin off herself in the attempts to get the seeds off. By the time her family had returned hime, they found a half skinned Sarah on the kitchen floor and the traces of blood on the floor. "Never should you ever play with sesame seeds"
This was inspired by the sesame seeds you find on burger buns π
