Like a Cigar
Sentence starter prompt. “You think they’re all sweetness…”
Pretty girls. You think they’re all sweetness and kind words and chastity, and then it turns out that they actually are and you realize you hadn’t believed it originally. All the movies and books with slutty bombshells and popular bitches and all other manner of unfair stereotypes has brainwashed you further than you knew, and it’s clear that the elementary school adage about books and covers has become too much of a law. By trying to be objective in this visual world, you’ve turned out exactly the opposite.
She’s talking to you because she wants to get to know you. She’s joining your project group because she thinks you’re smart and helpful. She doesn’t have skills just to show them off. She actually enjoys volunteering. She isn’t going to steal your boyfriend or take your friends or spread nasty rumors about you. Looking at a perfect smile and assuming she’s talking about you behind your back isn’t going to do you any good.
Sometimes a pretty girl is just a pretty girl.
