Hailey was gorgeous, casygoing, and about the same age as Holly, so Holly took an instant liking to the former and felt incredibly lucky to have met her.

Holly was somewhat naive and timid. She had been mocked since childhood due to her weight. Even the slightest kindness from others made her want to repay them tenfold, and when she was bullied, she never dared to fight back.

Perhaps because of her body size, she always paid extra attention to slim and elegant women when walking down the street, admiring them and dreaming that she too could have such a figure one day.

When Holly was walking side by side with Hailey, she felt a bit nervous and couldn’t help but steal glances at Hailey.

Hailey had a great figure, a beautiful face, and perfect skin. Looking at herself, Holly felt she was average in every way, even lacking intelligence.

Holly thought it was no surprise that Mateo had no patience with her. If she were in his place, she wouldn’t have patience either.

“Holly, is something bothering you?” Hailey asked.

Holly had been walking with her head lowered, looking dejected.

She shook her head and replied, “I just felt so stupid. Other than this body full of fat, I’m completely useless.”

“Why would you think that?” Hailey asked, slightly surprised.

Holly lifted her head and forced a smile. “That’s just how it is. I can’t do anything well. Even my boyfriend gets frustrated tutoring me because I’m too dumb.” She rubbed her head and continued, “The only thing I seem to be good at is eating.”

Hailey chuckled. “You’re lovely and kind. Why let other people’s words define you? What matters most is how you see yourself.”

Holly looked a little lost. “But nobody likes me. They all call me fat and make fun of me.”

“Does your boyfriend think that way, too?” asked Hailey.

Holly finally smiled and said shyly, “Not really. My boyfriend just has a bad temper. He says he doesn’t mind me being fat, just that I’m too slow–witted. When he explains things to me, I always struggle to understand, and he gets impatient and yells. But aside from that, he’s really good to me.”

Holly added, “Maybe it’s fate’s way of pitying me by giving me such a wonderful boyfriend.”
