00:00Lucy suddenly realized that the skin on her face was slipping off.
00:03Pancakes she quickly dug out some tape from her bag, trying to stick it back in place.
00:07But a classmate saw her strange face.
00:10Surprisingly the girl showed no disgust or shock.
00:12She simply said this was normal, then took out tape and tried to help Lucy fix her face.
00:17It turned out Lucy didn't always look like this.
00:19When she was young, Lucy immigrated to the United States with her parents.
00:23In this unfamiliar place she struggled to fit in.
00:26At school when she opened her lunchbox, her classmates looked at her with disgust.
00:30Some even called others to leave, leaving Lucy standing there awkwardly alone.
00:34She silently threw her entire lunch into the trash.
00:37From that moment on Lucy became desperate to be accepted.
00:40One day while staying late with her father at work, she accidentally walked into a school dance.
00:44On stage the principal announced loudly, that the prom queen represented the most popular girl in school.
00:50Lucy watched as a blonde girl, cheered on by everyone, was crowned with a sparkling tiara.
00:54From that moment on becoming prom queen became Lucy's dream.
00:58By high school Lucy was even more determined to change herself.
01:01She followed makeup tutorials, trying to alter her eye shape to look more western.
01:05What she wanted to change wasn't just her makeup, it was her distinctly Asian face.
01:09At school she tried everything to fit in.
01:11She even bought hair dye and bleached her black hair blonde.
01:14Lucy thought she had finally made it.
01:16After school Olivia actually invited her to a nail salon.
01:19Lucy was overjoyed thinking she had finally made friends.
01:22But at the salon she realized the truth.
01:24They didn't see her as a friend at all.
01:26They were using her identity to get a discount.
01:28Even when the owner of the shop was a girlfriend.
