Tiffany, a spoiled brat grade 12 student. She's famous in their school because of her looks. Many gentlemen want to court her but she didn't entertain one. Her looks can deceive anyone, at first, you will think that she's like an angel with a kind heart but if you will be going to know her fully you will know her true color. She's arrogant, bully and always look high to herself. She dress like a rich kid but she's not. She's living in a squatter area, the place where houses are near to each other and crowded, also have a narrow road where people are always fighting, drinking, gambling and doing different illegal things. Her place is far from her looks. That's one reason why she wants to finish her studies and find a better job.

"Mom, when are you going to get me? I don't want to leave here anymore, it's a dangerous and stinky place! Can you please tell your boss that you will get me asap? Their house is huge and your room can fit 5 persons". Tiffany desperately said to his mom who works as a maid in a rich family but with a kind heart, that's why she served there for almost a year already. Her boss also has one daughter who didn't want to talk to anyone, she wants to isolate herself and books are her buddies.

"Tiffany, my dear. Please have some patience. My boss is not here, they have a business trip in another country and I don't want to disturb them. I will ask them once they arrive home."

"k fine!" She said then hang up the phone.

In school

While Tiffany and her friends are hanging out in the corridor, they saw Amanda walking towards them while reading her book.

"Oh look, the nerd is here." Said Tiffany's friend

Tiffany walks towards Amanda and bumps into her intentionally. They used to bully her because of her looks. Amanda is a girl who loves to distant herself from others, wears big glasses and always have a book to read.

Amanda fell to the floor with her book. While Tiffany looks at her with one eyebrow raised "Haven't you seen me? Nerd!"

Amanda stands up and says sorry to her even though she's not at fault. She doesn't want to argue with Tiffany and she used to tiffany's wrongdoing to her.

"Hey, Nerd! One more thing, can you just wear a more elegant dress, a decent one. Duh, you're not fit for this school. Look at me, I'm wearing a beautiful dress." Tiffany said while pointing to the red dress that her mother gave her.

Dismissal

Tiffany went home and to her surprise, her mother is there.

"Mom, why are you here? This day is not your day off right?"

Her mother said that she just want to give the things she brings inside the paper bag. Tiffany look immediately at the things inside, she saw a beautiful dress, some beauty products and sandals. Her mother always gives her these kinds of things because her mother's boss daughter doesn't want this stuff.

Tiffany's all things are from her mother that we're given by her mother's boss. She's very thankful to them because she feels like she's rich when wearing those and her classmates always praise her looks because of this tiffany's become arrogant and bullied.

Her mother told her that next week she will get her and bring her to the place where her mother works. And she was very happy with that. Now she will live like a real rich kid she thinks.

Tiffany excitedly announces the good news to her friends in school. While she's talking she saw Amanda walking inside their classroom.

"Ow look, the poor girl Amanda is here. Can you smell the stinky smell guys? Amanda, are you leaving in a dirty place? How poor you are. Look at me I look rich and I'm near to being rich when my mother gets me next week." She said in loud voice.

As usual, Amanda ignores her and just walk straight to her seat.

After one week

Tiffany finally move to the place where her mother works. She was amazed at the house. She thanked her mother for bringing her there. Her mother warned her to just behave and don't do anything bad if she want to stay longer there.

In the evening, Tiffany wakes up because of her stomach. She went up and go outside their room and look for food.

While eating in the kitchen she noticed that there's someone in the same because of some light. She went to the sala and she saw a girl who's reading a book. When the girl turns her head, Tiffany was shocked because she knows this girl. It's Amanda, the one she bullied in their school.

Amanda approaches Tiffany and asks if she needs anything. Also, she told Tiffany that she is the daughter of her mother's boss. Tiffany feels ashame and can't look straight into Amanda's eyes. But Amanda told her to don't be. Tiffany asks Amanda why she doesn't want to wear the dresses her mother buy for her. Amanda just answered her things like that is not her like. She just wants to be simple. Tiffany was very guilty for bullying the good girl in front of her, she apologized for what she did to Amanda and promise that she will be going to be kind and stop bullying.

Since that day, they become friends and many of their classmates were shocked. But they just ignore it. Tiffany changed a lot. She learns a lesson that it's not good to judge a person based on how they look.

Closing thoughts

Being beautiful doesn't give us the right to bully someone. We shouldn't judge a person just by their looks or how they behave. Learn to respect each other's differences.
