addicted to my own hideous reflection as much as Narcissus was addicted to his own beauty . To that came the badmouthing, and gossiping at school. Most of them weren't even bothering about pretending they were talking of something else. Whenever I entered a classroom, it was a sudden dead silence, and two dozen pair of eyes glued to me. Either that, or obvious murmuring as though I was completely deaf – or blind. These glances they sometimes threw me, and all these fingers pointing at me... not just my schoolmates, though. The teachers as well treated me like the cripple I looked like. Talk about the teachers' duty to act as a role model. The same goes for my friends, I tell you. It's funny how one's facial features closely correlate with the number of social bonds, Guess I had my fifteen minutes of fame – every recess. And the cheerleader squad I had been the captain of?

It didn't help increasing my popularity back to a decent level, though. By that time, I had ditched the bandages completely, and replaced them by these here shades. It took some convincing to have the teachers let me wear them during class. Of course some of my classmates were terribly jealous of my permission to keep them on, and wanted their own share of my exception. As they realized they'd never get it, the gossiping continued – less loud this time, however. Some of them even tried to drag me in front of the principal, but I knew about his sweet spot for dirt cheap chocolate despite his severe diabetes, and his wife breathing down his neck. Dark sins. Who doesn't have them? They don't necessarily have to be of sexual nature. Before long after ditching the bandages, I had – oh miracle – turned into the aim of a competition among the jocks. Who could touch my scar first. Sometimes two of them would hold my arms while the third would trace his index over the tissue, singing, chanting a stupid rhyme about my scar while his buddies where laughing, and cheering.
