my short story i made :D
Jamelia
Who
would have pay an attention to this type of girl; with old fashion, with no
make up, with a pony tail, with glasses and braces. Ok, let’s conclude that she
looks ugly or in the other word…..not interesting! It does sound like a
punishment but tell me, is there any guy in the world would interested with
that type of girl? Well, may be there’s some but I’m talking about “normal
popular guy” here. And we all know that the answer is there is not even one
“normal popular guy” would interested nor like that type of girl. Well, that is
what happening to me. My name is Jamelia. Not a popular name, I know. Mom said
that it was a very special name. But guess what? I am not special! I am a
student in one of the best and popular university in this city. I’m in
Photography major. I have a normal family, normal friends and normal dog. What
I don’t have are: popular family, popular friends or popular dog. I consider my
life is so pathetic. How could I not say it so? My normal friends……….they had
been in relationship with guys, making out, kissing, dating and stuff. But how
come I haven’t get into it? Not even once? My age is turning 21 and I haven’t
had been in relationship with guys, making out, kissing, dating and stuff. I am
pathetic.

A
wonderful morning welcome me with its fresh air and a warm sunshine. That’s
great because I can see it as a good opportunity of taking B&W pictures. I
know it sounds funny but by taking pictures, I can just be me, without thinking
about what happen with my real life, which is still pathetic. Sigh……
I’m
trying to find a good angle to taking the pictures. While I was trying to focus
my camera to this great landscape of a beautiful mountain with these green rice
field, I saw her. A lovely lady. She…she was the most beautiful woman I have
ever seen. She walked to me. We talked a while. She said she was a model. And
surprisingly, she told me that she was just like me before she transformed to
be the way she is now.
“You can take the change to be popular when you change your self to be
that way”
And that’s what she said
***
It
feels like the time is freezing now. Right now. At his moment. She can feel the
confidence flowing through her veins. Those eyes starring at her, didn’t blink
at all. Following her steps with their eyes. I know the question in their head.
Who is she? She is me, Jamelia. No! I mean my new name, Jamie.
My
first day of transformation is awesome. I can’t believe that I’m hanging out
with The Lady’S (a group of the most popular girls in my university). This is
totally great! I feel so… so… so…Lady’S today! Everybody love me, Jamie. And I
think I have made a guy named Jason interested to me. He is definitely a dream
guy of mine.
***
Second
day of my transformation. Everything is cool. I did the things that The Lady’S
usually do. Shopping, pedicure & manicure, going to club, drinking alcohol.
Geez, I almost throw up. But the most important thing, I am popular now and I
did what the popular girls do. It was fun, enough.
I
met Jason today. We had a short conversation. I can’t believe that he is so
cute. When he talks, smiles and all. I think I love him. But our conversation
didn’t even interesting. He didn’t even ask me to go out. A date. I want him to
ask me to a date. I am popular now and beautiful. Why didn’t he ask Jamie to a
date? Time. Yeah, I think he needs time. Right, that must be the reason.
***
Lisa’s
party is today. I got invited. Sure I got invited. Who wouldn’t invite Jamie?
But everybody would definitely won’t invited Jamelia. I dressed up, put make up
on my face, jewelry in my neck, bracelet, and a pair of lady’s shoes. I am
ready to go to Lisa’s party.
Everybody
is there. Also Jason. With Kim? Kim? Why Kim? I can’t believe he chooses Kim
than me! She is not even prettier than me. Not even more popular than me. She
is as same as Jamelia!
People
look happy and enjoy the party tonight except me. I know I drank too much but I
don’t care. Jason chooses Kim! I just can’t take that. I’m walking toward him.
Unstable.
“Why Kim? Answer me Jason!
Answer!”
“Jamie, u have drank too much.
Now u get drunk don’t u know that?”
“I don’t care. Answer my question
Jason! Why Kim? Why not me? I am Jamie!!!!!”
“I better drive u home Jamie”
***
My
head feels so heavy. And I am in my room? Last thing I remembered was I talked
to Jason. What had happened? Mom said that Jason took me home last night. I was
drunk and threw up in his shirt. Me? Threw up in his shirt? Oh great! He won’t
even love a girl who drunk and had thrown up in his shirt!! Stupid Jamie!
“Hey, thanks for last night”
“Not a big deal though”
“Also, I want to apologize for
threw up in
ur
shirt. Mom told me that.”
“It’s ok.”
I don’t know what to say to him
and it seems that he don’t want to start to chat.
“About
ur
question last night……”
“What? My question?”
“Yeah, urs. I didn’t chose Kim,
we were just talking about some topic”
“Oh, I see then”
“And why I didn’t choose
Jamie…….. Because u are not Jamelia. For this past 2 months, u are trying to be
a person which is not u. I prefer Jamelia to Jamie. Jamelia won’t pretend to
enjoy going to club and drinking alcohol while she knew that it will make her
throw up and get a headache in the morning. She won’t put make up in her face
to be interested. She will just be her. And I love her. I love Jamelia. U may
think that not even one guy in this world who would love a girl like Jamelia. I
do. I do love her the way she is. So please Jamie, go back being her!”
“U love Jamelia?”
“Yes, I do”
“Jason, today and for the rest of
my life, I am Jamelia”
For
once I feel that Jamelia is very special and I guess I was wrong. There will be
always someone who likes and loves someone, no matter how they look, as long as
they just be themselves, someone will find someone. And me ended up kissing
with Jason and having my normal life with him.
The End
