Willow was what they called her. I'm not even sure if it was her real name, but because she was so tall and skinny they gave her the nickname. She didn't particularly like being called Willow for she hated her height and body, but she tolerated it.
People would tell her to be thankful for the body she was given because her size was so desirable. People also told her that her height was also a gift because it gave her to look of a model.
Willow hated everything about herself, but no one understood why.
I'll admit that I never thought that it would come to this.
Who would have thought that one harmless lie would blow up into something this big. I thought I could get away with it, you know being the new girl and all I thought that no one would find out.
I was sadly mistaken, my one little lie would turn into one huge scandal.
As he hammered the last nail he felt relief wash over him. Finally, the birdhouse he had been slaving over for the past two weeks was finished. Now all it needed was a nice coat of paint, and mom would love it! He smiled and then ran inside, he was so proud of himself that he almost told mom about what he had just accomplished.
He didn't though, even though deep down he wanted to. He wanted to see the look on her face when she saw it. The beautiful birdhouse that he made all by himself. With his small eight year old hands that he loved to be held by her. He wanted to see her proud of him, proud of all the sacrifice she made and for her to know that it was all worth it.
