I can’t help but bitterly contort my face as she passes me by. Luminous threads of golden hug her shoulders. her spine poised as a pole. I imagine her facial features are giddy with glee at their harminous sculpture.
I scrunch my fist and tighten my jaw as i reajust myself accordingly. Her radiant scent announces her approach, and I follow her gaze in desperation. I flutter my overly pampered lashes and pucker my lips, but the scent becomes bitter. my existence doesn’t even create a spark in her mind.
My coarse nails scathe my skin as I clench deeper, drawing out deep crimson that matches my chipped polish. I pull out my beaten pocket mirror and reluctantly stare myself in the eye, a tear dropping from it.
Stella had always been petite. She had been the focus of many jokes amongst her peers for her tiny child-like fingers and stubby legs. Even thought they were mocking her physical size, it always made her feel small inside too. She hated it. But it wasn’t all bad for Stella. She had gorgeous golden hair that hugged around her arms like a soothing blanket, and although her fingers were stunted her nails always stunned - nail art being one of her many talents. She wore an averagely pretty face, but it was elivated magnificently by her intellect and wit, her charm creating a visible glowing aura to her features. She was the type of girl you couldn’t look away from, and you weren’t even really sure why.
In a dystopian world where your career is decided for you when you turn 18, Stella and Mitchell face opposing challenges. In a society of normality and structure, there is a disturbance; Users. Shunned from society, treated like disease, they aren’t welcome in this world, Which is why the force is in place to keep them controlled. When Stella and Mitchell learn their futures, they couldn’t be further apart. But yet, they end up finding each other, wrapped together in the system. And perhaps, they can fix it.
