Everyone,step aside! The 'Black Beast' is here. This is what Jake always said when she entered the classroom. She would then burst in to tears and run to the last seat. Sandra wasn't abnormal but her skin was not as fair as snow whites. In fact, she seemed to be gifted with extra darkness by the god to make her look like a black beauty but it was sad that none in her class and even in the whole school saw her beauty. All they saw was the black part. Sandra wasn't a very intelligent girl, failing in at least two subjects per exam wasn't anything new to her. She did have a lot of interest in ballet and singing but she didn't seem to be an expert in these. Apart all, it is not necessary to be perfect at something that interests us. One day when Sandra was studying "Jane Eyre" at her room, she heard a whisper. It was her mother. "Honey! What can we do if our girl isn't that smart? Of course! We want her to have a future but this is just not the right way to it. She's our only daughter and if she doesn't do good to herself, it doesn't do any good to us either." all of a sudden, Sandra felt a huge pressure on her. Something very strong was trying to make her kneel. She walked towards the mirror, looked at it and felt the tides of words blowing towards her with all their strength. What her mother had said continued to echo within her. She remembered," black beast, know nothing, dull, idiot, stupid, that all i am. That's all!" Tring Tring!",rang the phone. It was Chelsea, her best friend calling her. "Sandra! What you did today was not right. You shouldn't have told the teacher about Jake cheating in the exams. That hurt me as well. Er.....Sandra! I think this is it. You don't seem to follow the norms of our friendship. So, i guess will have to end it here. You see, this friendship of ours, um....may be its time we put an end to it. " Sandra dropped her phone and looked completely frozen. She again started to shade tears but this time, involuntarily. Now it seemed to Sandra that everything was over. She remembered her mother's voice, Jake laughing at her and Chelsea's brutal words. She was now out of her own control and she started wandering about in her room like a furious wolf. She hit herself in her cheeks and hit her head with a bang with the same Jane Eyre. She saw her little teddy at her bed. She tore it apart and threw it away. She looked like a maniac. She then sat by her bed with her both hair and her room messed up. She could hardly figure out how she was feeling. She was disappointed, desperate, exhausted and seemed to have run out of mind. After about fifteen minutes, she calmed herself, got up and walked to the door. On her way, she saw the picture of her cousin Robert. Robert was the topper of his school and was extremely determined to be cardiologist. He had set up an example in the family. Seeing Robert's picture, Sandra again lost her mind and got unconscious. She ran towards the balcony. There she gave a loud scream and cried. She cried and cried and cried for a more than a hour and came back to her room, washed her face and sat back to read Jane Eyre again.
