Excellent fake life Dumb-dumb by Iza Deleanu Surprise Me writing prompt entry

I am so beautiful, so perfect, so full of Me! Yup, that's how I grew up rotten, not because I wanted to, but because I was the only child, so my parents spoiled me to death. I've never worked a day in my life. Even in school, they bought my grades, my diplomas, my extra-curriculum activities. My only job was to be pretty and keep my mouth shut! You know what they say, blond girls are dumb! Surprise! I'm not blonde, and I don't have big blue eyes; I have brown hair and pathetic small brown eyes! That's why I wear a ton of make-up to hide what I don't have. I guess I am lucky. My body's awesome. I can't complain. That was the only thing I worked for my entire life. I practically grew up in the gym. Probably you are asking me what I do for a living. I am a Zumba instructor. That was the only job I could do as a Pro. I loved to dance, and voila, that paid off! I got hired instantly. I am not sure if they hired me because of my dancing skills or because of my body. My boyfriend calls me dumb-dumb and thinks it is sweet. I don't! I play the dumb card because I can use it to get what I want. I learned this from my mom. When things get worse, I pull that card and flutter my eyelashes, faking innocence. In this way, it is never my fault. Today I got played. I found somebody who was "dumber" than me, mugged me, and ditched me. Now I am lying in this dump grave, with my fake eyelashes, my pretty body, and my empty soul. Good Night America, and a spooky night to all! Writing Prompt This is a flash fiction contest.
