He had the wished for looks with blonde hair and blue eyes and a face that won him the prettiest girl in school Sloane Hagen. And the money that his father made working as a news forecaster made him a very rich young man and where the money never stopped coming he could practically have whatever he even thought about. Sloane asked that Kyle give her a white Orchid and so he sent his maid on the task of making sure this would happen on time.

But in the end of the task the maid didn’t get the Orchid because she could not find one and decided to get a white rose instead of nothing at all. And naturally when the school dance came about you would assume that he would ask Sloane to the dance but instead to pull an awful prank he asked the witch of the english class to the dance instead. When he gave the white rose to Sloane she did not want it because it was too cheap and he gave the rose to one of the unpopular kids in the group.

She made him so that anyone that comes upon him can see the ugliness that he really is inside. But instead of making this curse permanent she gave him a chance to find someone that truly loves him in just a few years.
