Ever since the Ugly Princess heard the Spanish saying "Para ser bella, hay que ver estrellas" she started to spend all her nights in the balcony, looking at the stars with the hope that when the dawn came, she would be a little bit less ugly.
Everyday when I went out of the house, I saw an old lady sitting in the staircase of the house in face of mine, and I and everyone of the block always waved to the old lady from the afar.
A day, during dinner, It occurred to me to tell my parents:
"Have you thought that someday when the old lady, of the house in face of ours, die, appears sitting in the staircase like if nothing had happened?"
"What old lady are you talking about?"
"The old lady of the house in face of ours, the one who is always sitting in the staircase and waves to everyone who passes by."
"But, son, the house in face of us is abandoned since the old lady who used to live there died when you were two."
Girlfriend 2: What?! That bastard hit you again? No, girlfriend, no, you have to leave him, this cannot go on.
Girlfriend 3: It's true, girlfriend, you should not let that monkey hit you, leave him, I am sure you can find someone better, you're young, beautiful, leave him and find some one else.
Girlfriend 1: But what if I don't find anyone else.
Girlfriend 3: Don't think like that, I know you can find a man a thousand times better than that bastard.
Girlfriend 2: Yeah, my friend, leave him.
Girlfriend 1: All right, all right, I'll broke up with him and I'll find someone else.
Two months later.
Girlfriend 3: Have you heard?
Girlfriend 2: No, what happened?
Girlfriend 3: The new boyfriend our girlfriend found killed her in a jealous rage.
Girlfriend 2: WHAT?!!
He was feeling his mind so foggy, that, despite the sun was shining brightly in the sky, he felt that a storm was gonna break in any moment.
"Son, this is a knife, and this, this is a dagger, learn the difference."
"What is the difference, dad? To me they're both the same."
"The difference is figurative, son, because in your life, a knife could cut you, hurt you; but a dagger, a dagger could kill you."
When the big celebrity was walking in an empty ally and stomp, mindlessly, over a crack with her high heels, she fell hardly against the ground; but she got up quickly and walk away, smiling, because no one had seen her.
When she got back to her House in Bel Air and turned on her computer, she saw, horrified, how her name was in all the tabloids because the pictures and videos of her fall were on he internet and that was what everyone was talking about.
Drowning in her depression, Janette, decided to to take her life, because she thought that nobody cared for her and that nobody loved her; and she was right, because no one noticed she was gone until three years later when, by chance, the janitor of the building she used to live in, found her dead body hanging from the ceiling of her apartment.
Out of the sudden, in a regular day, it started to rain gummy-bears of all the colors and flavors one could imagine; and all the children stopped doing what they were doing to go out and play under the gummy-bears rain, opening their mouths up to the sky to catch and eat all the gummy-bears they could, until all their milk teeth got cavities and fell from their mouths.
"What is it that like the most about me?" He asked her.
'Your car and your beach house' She thought but answered instead:
"Everything, your eyes, your smile, everything! I love the way you are, how you treat me and the way you make feel!"
