Ireolamide is the lowliest and average person you would ever meet, but, like everyone else, she has expectations, wishes and dreams, only that her lower-class status is a huge barrier to it. She tries to forget about her limitations because her passion keeps her going despite her emotional imbalance.
          Stuck in a school with rich and posh kids, she has to bear their taunts because she’s the only low-class personality among them. With a smeared past that’s prevents her from having a comfortable life how will she bring herself out of the slums she grew up in into the classic life she wishes or herself and her mother?
All she is facing is attributed to her father and the horrible things he did to her when she was younger. Years after their separation he appears at a dance competition she participated in on sponsorship, he now pursues a relationship with her, a relationship they never had and so never lost, will she give in to his tactics or will she forgive him and move on with the new life he wishes to give to her? Past experiences cannot be easily forgotten, the scars and dents she has sustained have not been wiped off, as Ireolamide’s father tries to establish a bond will she reveal all the bad things she went through for him to know just how bad his actions affected her and will she allow him to undo the multiple wrongs he did to her that caused her a traumatic childhood?

              The tears rose to my eyes as everyone gave me a standing ovation, and erupted into a wild round of applause, I couldn't think straight as I was led forward on stage, but I was glued to the spot. I won!


 The tears poured out and I was grateful that a waterproof mascara was applied on my eyes. I looked into the audience and everyone was cheering wildly, giving me the thumbs up sign and waving at me, I saw signs with my name on them, people were taking videos, I was presented with a bouquet of beautiful flowers and given a red stash with "winner" boldly written in gold, a crown was placed on my head and I almost went out of breath, so this is how it feels to win something? This is how it feels to be a winner. I guess it feels…goooood?
