During the COVID-19 pandemic, I switched to a new school because I had been bullied pretty badly at my old one. At this new school, everyone was required to wear masks, which meant nobody made any weird comments about my face since they couldn't see it. Because of that, I didn't even realize I was a "sub-3." I quickly made a few friends, including a girl I was kind of into.
After the restrictions in my country were eased, we were finally allowed to sit together in the cafeteria and eat lunch. So, I sat down with my "friends," including the girl I liked. Everyone unpacked their lunch and started eating, and so did I. The very moment I pulled down my mask, everyone at the table stared at me. It was like something out of a bad movie. Then, the girl I liked started laughing, and her little brother, who was at the same table, joined in. The other few people just looked away in shame.
I didn't understand what was going on since up to that point, nobody had ever told me I was ugly. I asked with a smile what was wrong, and she told me, while laughing, that I looked like a blobfish and that my head was small as fuck. After that, I quickly pulled my mask back on and have never taken it off since—even though the pandemic is over and mask mandates are a thing of the past.
I still wear it whenever I'm forced to go outside, because I'd rather have people laugh at me for wearing a mask than for being ugly. Later on, the school (a private school) kicked me out because I refused to eat lunch there. What a fucking joke. I despise them all.
