Lies turn to Scars
“W..what you’ve been accusing wasn’t true at all!” Fuming
mad, Jia exaggeratedly screamed like an untamed beast in front of
her professors while pointing her fingers at Luna who’s staring at her
blankly.
Luna sneered and whispered, ‘That’s already one.’ then she
composed herself.
“You… attacked me with your groundless accusation! You gave
me scratches on my face! You’re shameful, hah!” Jia once again spat
deliberately losing her rationality. Luna scoffed again whispered, ‘Two.’
“But you really stole something from me.” Luna said in a calm
manner and looked at Jia seriously grinning from ear to ear. “Are you
mocking me?” The other girl rebutted, and she’s on her warrior mode
already–like a cat ready to claw someone’s face.
“Are you girls done?” Professor Watson asked while looking at
them. “You know what happens when you lie right?” She continued and
reached for her mirror from the side of her table and handed it to Jia.
“Look at yourself…scars are slowly appearing.”
Jia couldn’t stop her tears when she saw small scars appearing
on her neck and some are in her face.
Yes. They are living in a world where lies turn into a scar. And
they are not quite sure if it is a blessing or a curse. Blessing, wherein,
chances of committing dishonesty and deception are low–a curse
wherein, even a small or white lie turns into an ugly scar.
Luna met a lot of people whose body or faces are full of scars.
And she haven’t met anyone who never acquired a scar.
“Alright…I stole her necklace because I was so jealous on the
fact she can have the limited edition that I’ve been wanting. I was the one
as well who spread rumors about her being a gold digger.” Jia admitted
tearing up. Luna was left dumbfounded with the confession she heard,
she balled her fist and anger’s driving her. “How dare you! I’ve treated you
well because you were my dorm mate! Yet you were the one to blame why
people think I am a gold digger! Scheming bitch!”
Jia couldn’t contain her anger she pulled Luna’s hair pushing her
down on the floor. “You dared call me bitch? Why? Wasn’t even true that
you were hooking with an old man so you can live a luxurious life? Tell
us then you weren’t a mistress of an old man, I bet a lot of scars will be
appearing. Ugly as you!”
Luna managed to get up and she looked at Professor Watson
fiercely. “That old man you talking about was my uncle! It wasn’t my fault
that I came from a well-off family and I have an uncle who drives a luxury
car and spoils me with branded stuff.” She has reached her limit, her eyes
are still on Professor Watson, full of disappointment.
“You’ve got to be kidding me. You’re lying!” Jia tucked Luna and
pinned her on the ground, ripping her clothes so she could find the scars
that would prove her claim against Luna. “Where are you hiding your
scars liar?!” She angrily tried to flip her and she successfully managed to
expose Luna’s back.
People around them gaspef not because Luna’s body got
exposed, it is because of the big scar on her back. It looks painful and
deep though, it’s already a scar. People can’t believe that they would see
such a big scar…it was their first time. Myths have said that such people
would never exist but guess what, it does.
“Your…back…what happened.” Jia asked panting
and taken aback just like everyone around them.
Luna casually picked up her cardigan and wrapped
it into her body. “Oh this? I got this when I told someone
I can’t forgive her no more and I don’t love her anymore.”
She said in a minute voice while looking at Professor Watson.
She turned her back when she saw a tear escaped from the
Professor’s eyes.
