Ugly AF is now available on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Ugly-AF-Page-T... • An ugly orphan chases his impossible dream of gridiron glory. • “That boy’s so ugly, when his mama breastfed him, she closed her eyes and thought about other babies.” • I heard that from a teenager at McDonald’s. It was the first time I realized that I was ugly. That teenager was prophetic, as, shortly thereafter, my mother dropped me off at an orphanage, never to be heard from again. • It wasn’t all bad though. Mr. H. ran the group home. He was tough but fair. Most of the other boys left within the first year, adopted or placed in foster care. I was special though, a lifer. I was the only one who stayed until my eighteenth birthday. If I was too ugly for my mother, I was definitely too ugly for some bougie adoptive family. • I might’ve been ugly, but I could run like the wind, and I could hit like a Mack truck. I learned to box from Mr. Vasquez, and Mr. H. taught me to play football. With a face like mine, you toughened up. • But high school football didn’t turn out like I had hoped. I had no scholarship offers and no prospects. So I walked on to a power-five university football team. I was a longshot, but I made the team. I even met a girl with my ugly mug. Tania was a singer too—sang like an angel from heaven. I knew back then that she was gonna be a star. • Everything was going according to plan, until that fraternity party. My life was never the same after that. Neither was Tania’s. I thought I was doing the right thing, but I was the only one who got punished. I never thought they’d F me over like they did. From their perspective, it was an easy choice. It worked out great for them. They won the National Championship. • I didn’t win anything. In fact, I lost nearly everything. Mr. H. told me that life’s a marathon. I just need to keep moving forward. I don’t know about that. I’ve seen a marathon on ESPN, and everyone’s cheering the runners and handing out free water. I must be running a special marathon where people heckle me, steal my water, and knock me down. So many times, I wanted to stay down and give up, be the ugly loser that everyone thought I was. • But, no matter how bad it got, something deep inside of me kept telling me to get up. • #literaryfiction #thrillerfiction #booktube #bookstagram #booktrailer
