Summary
Mary Macdonald has been told she was the same thing all her life: Pretty. But was that all she was? She never really felt like she could fit in the box everyone expected her to be in. She was always just too much, whether it was too loud, too outgoing; she just felt like she would never uphold what she was expected to be.There was only one person she could just exist with: Lily Evans.
And they tell you that you're lucky, but you're so confused'Cause you don't feel pretty, you just feel used
