Beyond The Surface.

"Wow, she's so beautiful," I whispered under my breath as my eyes stumbled on Tina, a student at the fashion school I enrolled in the first day I walked into the class.

For some reason, I've known extremely beautiful people to be full of themselves—maybe not all, but most of them I've encountered are either snubs or very arrogant because the beauty gets into their heads, and so I decided not to get close to Tina because of my experience with others.

"Hey, welcome to our fashion school; my name is Tina." She introduced herself to me with a very beautiful and wide smile. "Hmmm, am I wrong?" I soliloquized before I uttered, "I am Amie, and it's nice to meet you." I replied and hurried off to pick a seat as my first fashion class was about to commence.

After class, Tina walked up to me yet again and said, "I hope you enjoyed the lesson. If you're in doubt or need any form of assistance, don't hesitate to call my attention, okay?" She gave me a tap on my back and started packing up her bags.

I stood for a minute to understand why Tina was quite different from other extremely beautiful girls I've ever met, and then I guess she caught me lost in thought: "What's wrong? Why are you standing there? Is there a problem?" She asked with a very soft tone, "You're so free-spirited, and I am quite puzzled, haha." I replied while I began to pack my bags.

"Oh, why are you puzzled? Isn't it normal to be nice to people even though you're just meeting them for the first time?" Her question endeared me so much to her: "Hmmm, it's normal, but some people are just mean, especially if they think they know it all or have good looks." I said sinking; her vibe was just contagious.

"Oh, I think I know where you're headed. Come off it, Amie. I don't care if I am just meeting anyone for the first time; I am just a person who loves to help others, and my looks don't get into my head at all." She chuckled, and that was how we became friends the very first day.

It's funny how we just clicked that day like we'd known each other for a while. Other students were quite surprised, too. I asked her how she knew so much about fashion on the first day of assumption: "I came for an upgrade; my aunt used to be a fashion designer, but she relocated, so I just want to brush up my skills." I was also impressed by her determination. "Wow, that sounds nice."

Gradually, we began to bond very well. Tina would talk to me like she'd known me for years, and that made my stay at my fashion school so fun and memorable.

She had a very beautiful smile, was very generous, and was well-mannered. Over time, we began to share our passion for arts and crafts, honing each other's skills in fashion design and challenging each other with difficult styles unlike other of my colleagues who would hoard what they know, Tina was exceptionally kind and amiable.

Tina was so free-spirited that before a month I could tell so much about her, and I came to love her so much, which also proved that some people are not just physically beautiful but also beautiful inside out, and I changed how I view extremely beautiful people.

If you're kind, you're kind, regardless of your looks, talent, ability, or any other achievement.
