"This scar remover is not effective. How can I confess to my crush Luke?" Callista said.

"But then, I need to be a slave again because of Carol," she said with a worried voice.

"Why am I so ugly?!" she shouted.

Callista Santiago is a second year high school student at Calviar National High School. Her name means beautiful but she doesn't believe that she is beautiful because of the scar on her face. Callista is from a poor family and she is taking a part time job to support their financial assistance at a young age. She hides her scar using a mask. She may be a top student in her class but she is a victim of bullying in her school for being ugly and a monster. Also, she had no friends.

At school, Carol pulled Callista's hair. She rolled her eyes and sit to the desk

"Hey ugly! buy us food and drinks, we're so hungry." she said.

Carol is very beautiful in the school. Many students call her goddess and has an angelic face with a devilish attitude. However, many students want to date her.

"O...okay, where...is your money?" she stuttered said.

"Hey! Listen up ugly. You will be the one who will pay for our food okay? Since you are top again then treat us or you want us to hit you again?" irritable she said.

"Ahahaha...ahahaha...okay, don't worry it's on me Just wait I'll buy '' Callista sarcastically said.

Callista left and Carol, together with her three bully friends, waited for Callista. However, Callista left her bag. Carol saw Callista's bag and they started to inspect Callista's bag without her consent. Carol saw a notebook that looked interesting and she started to read it. Carol and her friends laughed when they found out that Callista's crush was Luke. Then, they plan to make Callista suffer.

After 15 minutes, Callista gave them their food and Carol left.

Callista decided to go to the field where he could see Luke. Luke was a football player. He was very popular with other girls. Also, he is Callista's ideal man. She saw Luke playing football. Callista cannot control herself when she sees Luke. Callista sits on the bench near the players and watches the game. Luke saw Callista watching him and smiled at her. After the game, he saw Callista walking away. Luke ran and called Callista.

He has a muscline body and baby face. He has dimples to make girls fall in love with him.

"Hey, wearing a cute mask," he shouted.

Luke doesn't know her name. Callista was shocked because he called him.

"M...me?" panic said. Callista doesn't know what to do because Luke is coming to her.

"Yes, you have long brown hair with a mystery mask. May I know your name?" Luke breathlessly said.

"I'm Callista... Callista Santiago from Section A second year..." Callista stuttered answered.

"I always saw you whenever we were playing football. Looks like we can be close. I mean friends like that. I'm Luke Sebastian from Section B second year too. Nice to meet you" he said and smiled at her. He offered his hand to shake hands.

Callista holds his hand and shakes hands. Luke offered that they be friends and Callista agreed. She's so happy and wants to hug Luke. Meanwhile, Carol and her friends saw Callista and Luke talking to each other. Her friends are murmuring that Callista's ambition is too much. Carol left with an evil grin.

Luke and Callista become friends and they are always bonding to watch football games. Carol saw that ugly monsters are learning to smile now. Carol wants to destroy Callista. She doesn't want to see Callista happy that is why she starts her evil plan. Luke and Callista are talking on the phone. They were talking about football stuff until Callista lost signal.

"Callista, you, you are my friend. There is a girl that I want to be my girlfriend, she is... I want to confess..." Callista doesn't understand Luke. But still talking.

"Wait Luke I don't under-" Callista panic said.

" I...I love you..." Luke disappeared.

After a few minutes, Luke texted her that he's phone is low battery and needs to charge. Callista was very shocked and she shouted that Luke loved her. Another day, Luke called Callista. She tried to be calm because she was so happy that she thought Luke had feelings for her. Callista was not paying attention to what Luke said.

"What gift do you think of for tomorrow?" Luke sincerely asked.

"Gift? you mean you're giving a gift?" Callista excitedly asked.

"Yes," Luke answered.

"Really? I think necklace" she giggled.

Callista thought that it was for her. Callista is very excited because his ideal man will confess to her. After her part time, she decided to buy shoes for Luke.

At home before she sleeps, she looks at the mirror and touches her scar. She can't believe that she can be loved by someone. She is very excited.

The day of the confession. Callista saw Luke walking. She secretly followed Luke and she was shocked by what she saw. It was Luke holding the necklace box and a girl.

"Please accept me to be your boyfriend," Luke sincerely said to the girl.

Callista becomes curious and decides to stand in the wall and hear who that girl is.

"I like you. It was love at first sight and I know it's crazy but I'm serious" sincere said sincerely.

Callista was confused.

"You know I like you too but I thought you like Callista as your girlfriend. I thought you liked her." the girl sarcastically said.

When Callista became more curious she peeked in the door and she saw the girl.

"No Carol, actually... I'm using her to get to know you more. I know you hate her." he stuttered said.

Callista doesn't know what to do. She even thought that it was her. She thought that Luke loved her, not Carol. She started to cry and look at the gift for Luke. She regrets it. However, she is still listening.

"So, if I want you to make her suffer, you will do it?" she seriously asked.

" Yes, of course. I don't care about that dumb girl with mask" Luke answered and giggled.

Carol and Luke walked in on each other and started to. Callista hears all the conversation and she suddenly drops the box of shoes.

Luke saw Callista crying and Carol smiled.

"Callista," Luke nervously said.

" I thought we were friends. You are no different from them. I thought you liked me!" Callista shouted.

"What? I thought you know I have feelings for her?" Luke said, showing a confused reaction.

"There is a girl that I want to be my girlfriend, she is Carol. I want to confess to her. What's wrong with you?" He added.

"You said you love me on the phone. You even said you wanted to buy a gift. But it was Carol" Callista said and looked mad.

"You know, you are being numb. You're so ugly, of course I don't love you. You're so disgusting. Where did you get that story? You need to be thankful because I approach you to be my friend even if you ugly!" Luke shouted at her.

Carol came to Callista.

"I flirted with him behind your back. That's your punishment for being a beautiful monster. Girls! Hold Callista and teach her a lesson. You are imagining too much. Look at your face, so ugly" Carol said.

The two friends of Carol hold Callista and strip her blouse. Carol destroyed Callista's mask. They laughed at her and even Luke laughed at her. Carol and Luke kissed in front of Callista. The other girls slap Callista. Also, they saw the box of shoes that is for Luke. They cut the shoes and tortured them until they became useless.

Callista felt depressed and broken-hearted. She walks in the street without her mask. She stopped by the abandoned building and she cried. She hates herself being ugly. She cried until she thought that no one cared about her.

"No one will cry if I die. No one will care. No one will try to find me. It's because I'm ugly. The boy I loved for a long time betrayed me. It feels like being ugly is a sin. Why me? I don't want to live anymore" she said irritatedly.

Callista tried to jump and someone held her hand.

"Will you be happy if you die?" breathless said.

A woman holds her hand and she has a beautiful face and looks perfect. She has black long hair and has clear skin too. She is wearing light makeup and her lips are like a cherry because of its color.

"Let me go, miss! I want to die. My life is miserable" she said irritably.

The woman didn't listen to Callista. She slapped Callista to be in her right mind.

"Hey! If you want to die then die but find another place. I don't want to be suspected of pushing you here. You planned to make me a killer. Think wisely, young girl" the annoyed woman said.

Callista became dumbfounded.

"Hey! Listen if your problem is being ugly. I think you're not that ugly. It is because of your scars. I was more ugly to you when I was in high school." a woman said.

"H...how? you're not ugly miss. Don't joke" sarcastically said.

"Do you think I'm joking?" the woman said and glared at her.

"You look gorgeous, miss. I don't see any ugly marks in you" Callista explained.

"Yes you're right, but look this was my original face" a woman showed a picture that made Callista shocked.

She saw a girl with pimples and dark scars in her face.

"How impossible is that?" interested said.

"It's because of makeup," seriously answered.

The woman explained how powerful makeup is. She showed some tutorial of make ups and she asked Callista if she's interested and she nodded.

"We need to go to my shop if you want to tell me but promise me you won't think about ending your life again" she said and looked at Callista.

"I promise. I'm Callista Santiago, second year high school" she wiped her tears and looked at the woman.

"I'm Celestine Sebastian," the woman said.

Celestine Sebastian is a professional makeup artist. No one knows her true face because she's using makeup to make her another person. She revealed her true face to Callista because it seems she doesn't know her. She only thinks that Celestine is an ordinary make up artist.

They go to Celestine's parlor shop and start to teach Callista. Callista tried herself to change her face and life and too buried her worst memories of her life. Day by day she always goes to Celestine's shop to learn and watch Celestine making women beautiful.

She works harder and starts to buy beauty products. After the school year, she decided to enroll in another school for her third year of high school and start a new life. She even buried Luke in her life. She cannot forgive him.

The first day of school.

"Mom! Dad! I'm going to school" Callista said.

"Oh my! Are you my daughter?" her father said and he nodded at her father.

"What a beautiful daughter?! You don't need to wear your mask anymore. You are so beautiful" he father proudly said.

She hugged her father and her mother.

"Thanks mom and dad. I will be a good person and I hope people accept me" she happily said.

Now, she goes to her new school for her new path wearing a skirt and blouse. The new chapter of her story will begin.
