That's pretty odd. I guess when he's wearing the one face, he can't see that he's being two-faced. Great job with the dialogue to show us the real character of this man.

Being two faced is actually quite an important issue, because it is tied so much with the ability to trust another. Wasn't quite sure about the ending - is it that he wouldn't wear his present face if he had another option?

lol It might be a stretch without the photo, but with it, it works perfectly. Plus, I always go for the stretch because sometimes it works out very well and if not, it was worth a shot! Nicely done.

Chuckling. Oh those sweet little lies that go with kisses..."Miss Contrary Mary" needs a period. Two faced seems to me like the Biblical "forked tongue" I guess. Saying one thing and meaning another. Saying she is beautiful to get kisses while hating her gossiping. I liked the ending.

This flash fiction post seems to suggest that there are literal two-faced people and not-so-literal two-faced people.
I liked the way the dialogue carries the story.
Little suggestions at the beginning:
"Can't stand that girl? Always putting down other girls."
I think, if the young man is talking, he might mean to say it with this punctuation:
"Can't stand that girl! Always putting down other girls."
"Miss Contrary Mary"
I think you just need a period after Mary. Then the quotation marks would follow.

Yes, the message is there. Well done. A lot of people wear two faces. Such a shame when they only need one. Thanks for sharing and take care. Have a wonderful day.
Cheers

I got the message the first read through. He has two faces but only one expression? He is what he is and that makes him obvious to the casual observer. Nice short story with a lot of meaning.
