Kylie was your typical popular teenager, she was beautiful and she knew it. Kylie had her group of followers, doing everything she asked and copying her every move. Kylie and her \'friends\' were incredibly shallow and wouldn\'t be seen anywhere near a geek, freak or anyone who wasn\'t as beautiful as them. Ever since she could remember Kylie had been modelling for top magazines, wearing the most expensive clothes, going out with the hottest guys and other such activities. Although everyone worshiped and adored her, Kylie wasn\'t really that special, she wasn\'t academic, she wasn\'t athletic and the only talent she had was seducing males and ordering people around.

On the nineteenth of July, when she was sixteen, Kylie was on her way home from the shopping mall. This particular evening Kylie had decided to walk, the night was crisp and clear and the moon shone brightly, it was a fifteen minute walk from the shopping mall to her house. She had been walking for around six minutes when she noticed that she was being followed by five men in their twenties. Kylie decided to walk a little faster in the hope that they would lose interest, not only did the men walk faster but one grabbed her by the hair and she was pulled into an alley. It was in this alley that Kylie was raped and beaten.

When Kylie returned to consciousness she found that she was in hospital, she suffered a broken jaw bone, cheek bone, nose and severe bruising. She also had many cuts across her face and cigarette burns all over her body. She was told that her attackers would never be found.

When the bandages were removed, Kylie was devastated, she could no longer recognise herself, instead of her beautiful face she saw a mangled mess, she could see no beauty in herself. Kylie\'s friends visited her in hospital, not because they wished to help their friend, but because they felt obliged to. As soon as Kylie left hospital they found some other beautiful girl to be their leader.

Six months after the attack Kylie returned to school, she sat alone for two weeks. After this Kylie became friends with Kelly, one of the people she never would have talked to before. Kylie and Kelly did everything together. Kelly saw a part of Kylie that no-one had seen before, no-one had taken the time to look, Kelly saw that she was a loving loyal and compassionate friend. Kylie realised that Kelly was the most friendly, caring and nicest person that she had ever met and so went their friendship.

One night when Kylie was staying over at Kelly\'s house, Kelly decided to tell Kylie how much she meant to her.

“Kylie,” she began “you are wonderful. You are a loving, loyal and compassionate friend. You are truly a beautiful person.”

“You mean I was beautiful,” Kylie replied “how can anything be beautiful with this face?”

It broke Kelly\'s heart to think that Kylie could not see her own beauty. Then it hit her. Kylie had never understood the true concept of beauty, beauty as she knew it was clear skin, perfect hair, nice eyes and a perfectly un-proportioned body. Kelly explained to Kylie what true true beauty, inner beauty, was. After many hours Kylie finally understood what it is to be beautiful and she realised that for sixteen years of her life while thinking she was beautiful she was actually being the ugliest person possible.

Kelly had shown Kylie true beauty, and they had both found real friends, and though Kylie\'s attackers would not be punished she was not bitter, for were it not for them neither of these would have happened.
