Agnes Fiaalii's Fan Fiction

Fan fiction: Beastly

“It's strange though. People make such a big deal about looks, but after a while, when you know someone, you don't even notice anymore, do you? It's just the way they look.”
― Alex Flinn, Beastly

I have based my Fanfiction on the movie Beastly. “Beastly” is known to be the modern day twist on the movie ‘Beauty and the Beast’. Author: Alex Flinn (Novel) Director:Daniel Barnz Characters: remained the same                    Kyle and Lindy

Hunter is contemplating whether or not, he should tell Lindy how he feels. Questions are running through his head, “what if she rejects me?”. The fear of rejection, slowly creeping up on him. “Can someone as beautiful as her, love an UGLY beast like me?”. Somehow, he is standing inside Buckston Academy High school. Students walking by, chatting and laughing away with their friends, suddenly STOP!. Are they looking at me?, reality hits him, “of course they are, who wouldn’t look at me?”. His legs seem to be glued to the floor, unable to take a step forward. So, “this is what it feels like to be UGLY?”. Although it didn’t matter anymore, but it still stung him. “How does anyone deal with this?” Somehow, his whole body froze and all the nasty things he’d said before,began to play and replay over in his head.

The next thing he knows he’s taken back through time, him standing on the podium, giving his presidential speech. Students and teachers, gathered around in front of him. The jocks, the nerds, the drama people, the geeks, the cheerleaders and so on. The sound of his own voice saying “best embrace the suck, beautiful people get it better”. “Dammit, was that really me?” his own words, just seem so foreign to him now. Now that he thought about, he needed to apologise to all the innocent people he hurt. He quietly thanks Lindy in his head, this is all her doings. “Lindy”, the past few weeks with her, have gone by so quickly. It’s just been a blast, getting to know her, finding out things about himself, even he didn’t know. Her beautiful, long, black hair and that warm, loving smile. Something tugged at his heart for a moment.

 The sound of a door closing, takes him back to reality. Standing there, he sees Lindy’s back. Heart pounding, this is it!. Just being there in the same room as her felt so weird, yet somehow right. Gone was the feeling of embarrassment towards people staring, the feeling of ugliness and the feeling of doubt. Suddenly, replaced with the feelings of Happiness and Love. LOVE?. “Wow, I can’t believe I just said that”. He laughs at himself quietly, “so this is Love?”. He somehow was unable to get a grip on the feelings, that Lindy helped him uncover.

The day his mother had walked out on him and his dad, was the day; he stopped believing in ‘Love. How can anyone say they love you, yet turn their back on you?. His childhood however wasn’t totally bad. Although his dad was hardly home, and was never interested about his life, most days, “but at least he took care of me, right?”. He only wished his dad was more involved in his life. How nice would it be to have a normal conversation, without his dad’s phone beeping constantly. “Well, at least he had Lindy right?”. That reminds him, he still needs to tell Lindy how he feels, hmmmmm, somehow he still wasn’t able to get over these new feelings.

Lindy, suddenly realises she has company, and turns around, “Hunter, what are you doing here?”. Just looking at her beautiful face, took his breath away. “I’m here to apologise”. Everyone just stops and stares at them, waiting for either one to continue. “But Hunter, I’ve called you so many times, and not once did you pick up”. “I know Lindy, that’s why I’m here, to tell you personally, how I really feel”. “It’s too late Hunter, no matter what you say, it’s not going to change anything”. “I know Lindy, but before you leave, I want you to know that I’ll always be here waiting for you, because I Love you”. Lindy looks up at Hunter, heart pounding, did she really hear him right? “did I just hear you say you love me?”. Hunter, grins at himself, “yep, is that all right, did I say something wrong?” this is the moment he’s been waiting for. He starts to pray in his head “please, say you love me”. The next he knows, he’s lip locking with Lindy, is this really happening, Is this some kind of dream?. “So I’m guessing were all good?”. “We’re more than good hunter, I know it’s hard to believe but I love you to”. He playfully shoves her softly. “So I’ll be seeing you when you get back then?”. “You better be, Hunter”.

Hunter turns around and walks out, nothing seemed to matter now. Lindy loves him. All of a sudden, his head started to spin. What the hell is happening to me?. He stops in front of the school building and looks at his reflection. Something was happening to his body, could this really be happening?. He reaches up to his head and feels hair on his head, next his eyes, his nose and his face felt so smooth. He actually couldn’t believe he was Kyle Kingston again, yet somehow he still felt the same, like Hunter. The witches spell has finally been broken, “thank you”. He finally realises that he still hasn’t told Lindy who he really is. The next thing he knows, Lindy busts through the doors. She looks up at him suspiciously. “Kyle, tell me It isn’t what I’m thinking?”. Lindy shakes her head from one side to another, she is in total disbelief. How the hell did she not see this coming, there were plenty of times she suspected he was hiding something, but Kyle Kingston of all people. She somehow felt disgusted with her reaction, somehow she was glad that Hunter was Kyle. “Lindy, I know I didn’t tell you before, but I didn’t think this was going to happen, believe me”. Lindy waits for a few seconds to take everything in, “Kyle Kingston, did you really think something as small as you forgetting to mention your real name would stop me from loving you?”. “I understand if you do, Lindy”. “Kyle Kingston, I thought you knew me better than that, at the end of the day, you’re still the same guy I fell in love with!”. Lindy pushes him and Kyle softly kisses Lindy.
