The Bunny Queen and Her King

Preface

"B is for beautiful," I said to my mirror self. "U is for unique. N is for nice. The other N is for..."

I looked sadly at my reflection. My eye hurt. Why did they have to punch my eye? Of all the places on my body, my eye?

I was used to doing this. Incase you're wondering what I'm doing, I'm thinking of all the nice things the word bunny could be turned into.

I pulled my diary out from under my bed.

Dear Diary,

Beautiful
Unique
Nice
New to town
Young and talented

I closed the diary. My entries usually went like that. All of them. Ever since the third grade.

Why us?
