This is a story about a girl named, Raffy.
Raffy is a simple girl from a poor family. She is family- oriented. Innocent. She may look weak because of her figure but she's not. She works hard for her family and her dreams. She has a lot of ambitions yet she's down- to-earth. A lot of people like her because she gives positive vibes and good atmosphere anywhere she goes. She likes to smile. Smiling is one of her hobbies. It's contagious, in a good way.
Not everyone knows what she's gone through in life. Grade school days, High school, College and NOW. Now that she's an adult. A 20+ year old woman. She had her ups and downs yet she's grounded.
She's a timid / funny girl in her grade school days. She has few friends. She's crazy about a lot of things. She likes joining different clubs and competitions that need active brains. She's not the prettiest girl in school but I bet she's the prettiest, inside, in her own ways. She's very talented. She's good at singing and dancing. She always tries her best to show everyone that she has something. Most especially her parents, family. She joined dance competitions and quiz bee contests, etc but her parents never showed up in any of them. She was very sad but she knows that she couldn't do anything about it. They're busy at work. Working for them. She had the broadest mind to understand the situation.
Her classmates sometimes make fun of her name. Her real name is Giraffe. They call her Raffy, to sound better. At first, it was okay with her because she gets their attention. However, things have changed when her crush started to tease her. She got hurt, in a different way she couldn't explain.
She did a lot of crazy things back in school days, when she's hurt. A not- so rebellious young lady. She plays a lot. She goes to places that her parents do not know. She sometimes doesn't ask for their permission. She does what she likes to do and what she thinks is right.
She's one of the boys. That's the reason why she decided to fix herself. I mean, to make herself look as if she's a girl. A real one. She then, started to buy pretty clothes, colorful stuff and even cosmetics. She began shaving her legs and eyebrows too.
One day, she went to school with a lipstick on. She was approached by one of her friends to
ask if she's wearing one. She denied it. She's too shy to admit. There's something wrong, that's what she thought. Then, she stopped doing it. She went back to being a simple sassy girl.
The school year has ended.
TO BE CONTINUED...... :)
