DUFF.

Designated. Ugly. Fat. Friend

                             I went to the library this weekend and picked out my usual load of books. One book in particular struck my attention because it's movie was just released. The narrator and I are very similar-- we are both 17 and have two best friends that we both love dearly. Because of this she always go to this teen club with them even though she dislikes the place. One day one of the typical hot guys in the school came up to her and basically told her he was only speaking to her so he could snag one of her girlfriends , He did not want her because she was the duff.  the designated ugly fat friend that their friends only hang out with to look better in front of other guys.

                    It made me wonder between my friends and I who was the DUFF, none of us were ugly or THAT fat so it was pretty confusing trying on the narrator's shoes. And the story took a complete turn because the duff and the leading boy became a couple at the end so maybe he didn't think she was that duff-y. It was pretty cruel of him to call her that in her face and it reminds me of how guys take advantage of females today. They would play games just to have sex. And everyone is so hung up on  looks they don't give personality a chance.  As a result , when the leading guy in the book and the narrator got together and interacted more and started to get to know each other they developed feelings. I finished the book and left with a satisfied mindset --looks are not everything, Do not try to change yourself for anyone because if you then they do not like you they like how you look.
