《After the Mask Falls》Chapter 4

~~Flaws; everyone has them. But do they really? Does anyone really judge everyone depending on how they look, how they act, or how their personality is? I sure don't. I think that everyone is beautiful, even if others can't see it. So what is defined as a flaw?
What others call flaws- face blemishes, if you walk weird, or even if you have a snarky personality- I call quirks. Everyone has something special about them that just, make them, well, themselves.~~
The pain felt good. Even though I know I shouldn't be doing this- something just keeps driving me towards it. I always ache for the next time I can see the crimson droplets rolling down my arms. I crave the feeling of freedom it gives me, an escape from my overwhelming life.
It seems as though no one notices. Oh well, I don't need the questions about it anyway. The new attire I have started wearing covers my arms and shields the cuts from onlooking eyes.
I wish I could have saved the image of their confused and horrified faces in my mind forever. Who would have guessed that I actually have clothes that aren't orange? The black sweatshirt might be hot at times, but it is totally worth it. I did start wearing long cargo pants as well. I don't really have a reason why, they're just comfy.
Aside from the new outfit I've started wearing, nothing else has changed significantly. Team 7 is still going on missions as per usual. However, Sasuke has been watching me quite closely lately. Probably just wants to make sure I don't mess up.
My old self that everyone used to see, the happy- go lucky one, is slowly coming back. I might not talk as much, but I make sassy comments under my breath often. My confidence has slowly been building up and I am guessing that's what I need more of to get back my old fake personality.
The school bullies still pester me and the citizens still beat me up regularly. However, I still have hope that it will all stop one day.

The Goddess’ Chosen
Destiny is a strange force indeed. One simple act can create a ripple, one simple change can cause a cataclysm. One act outside of the individual would be enough to alter one's life no matter how insignificant that life may be. This is the adventures of Allisa Reed, a young girl from our world who found the legendary sword Excalibur and taken to the magical world of Avalon. On the other side of the portal with her friends by her side, Allisa is forced into a conflict she is not prepared for, ordained as the Goddess Chosen to bring about one of two possible outcomes; Salvation or destruction. ------------------------------------ Author's notes: This is more or less the first draft of this story. Currently working on a second draft. Spelling and grammar is definitely my biggest weakness, particularly in my earlier stuff. I've done some editing and hopefully have ironed out most of these mistakes in my older chapters though I'm fairly certain there are some mistakes still left. This story is ongoing. Updates are slow as I publish when a chapter is ready. Expect long chapters for most of it. Just sort of my style. Only available on Royal road.com
