"Where are you taking me?" I asked, as she was dragging me to her car.
"We're going shopping." She replied.
"Why?"
"You need some new clothes!"
"I do not!" I look down at myself. "Yeah, maybe I do."
"See? You're lucky I'm buying."
We got to the mall and went straight to Forever 21.
"Here, take this." She said. "And this."
"This is too much." I said.
"Good!"
"Angelica.."
"Oh my god! Those shoes!" She squealed.
"No, no, Angelica. No more."
"They're perfect!"
"I don't know how to wear heels." I told her.
"You'll learn! Now, try all these! And show me!"
We got in the dressing room and I did not know which one to put on first.
"Try the polka dot shirt with the black skater shirt!" She shouted.
I picked it up and looked at it.
"It's pretty cute." I said to myself.
"I told ya!" She said.
I tried it on and came out.
"Oh my god!" she squealed. "You look.. beautiful! Take off your glasses!"
"But I can't-"
She took them off anyways. She took down my ponytail.
"Hey-"
"Shh. Now, turn around and look in the mirror."
I did as told and looked at myself. Wow, I do look beautiful.
"But I can barely see." I told her.
"We'll get you contacts." She said. "Now, try the other outfits."
I went back and tried on the light pink romper.
I came out.
She put a thumbs up. "Perfect."
I went back in and tried on a muscle tee with leggings and a long cardigan.
I came out and she said, "Yes, girl!"
I went back and tried on a floral crop top and some shorts.
I came out and said, "People can see my stomach."
"We'll get you high waisted shorts instead."
After we got done shopping, we went to go get contacts. Angelica nearly spent $2000 on me.
We got home. "Thanks.." I said.
"No problem!" She said. "Now.. your hair."
"What are you going to do?" I ask.
"We're... going to dye it."
"What?" I exclaimed. "But I like my natural dark brown hair."
"I know! I like it too! We're just.. going to ombré it, that's all." She told me.
"Uh.. okay?"
She took hair dye from her luggage.
"Thank god, I had some."
After hours and hours of making me over, she was now done.
"Alright! You can look now." She told me.
I opened my eyes and saw a whole new different infront of me.
"Who's this?" I asked.
"It's you, duh." she replied.
"This.. I look so different." I said.
"Well.. yeah. I did such a great job. You're stunning."
I just remembered. "What's going to happen at school tomorrow?"
"Boys will be all over you. Do you have anybody you like?"
I shook my head. "Not at the moment."
"Well.. good. I want you to play hard to get. All those guys that has bullied you, if they do, play hard to get."
"I can't.."
"You have to! Show them whose boss! I'll be with you, because I enrolled!"
"You did?" I ask.
"Yes!"
"Anyways.. do I really have to 'dress up' tomorrow?" I asked.
"Yes!"
Those last few hours, she was teaching me how to dress and do makeup. She also taught me how to put on contacts.
Boy, am I scared for tomorrow.
-----------------------------
"I'm going to have you choose your own outfit." She said. "And it cannot be your old clothes!"
"Got it, Angelica."
I chose a wavy, light pink crop top and paired it with some light blue high waisted shorts.
"Don't forget shoes!" Angelica told me.
I chose to wear white gladiators today. So it could match.
"Good! You're getting this!"
"Makeup?" I ask.
"I taught you."
I went to the mirror and started.
After I was done, Angelica was clapping.
"I taught you well, Mallory! You are done! Beautiful! Now, let's go!" she screamed.
"I'm scared. The other people in the foster home hasn't even seen me yet.." I said, concerned. "What will they think?"
"It's okay, Mallory. You'll be fine." she assured me.
We were about to leave my room until she saw what was on my vanity.
"You forgot that!" she pointed.
I picked up the silver heart necklace and put it on.
"Perfect. You your earrings on?"
I tucked my hair behind my hear.
"The studs are on. And so are the bracelets." I told her.
"Grab your bag and let's go."
We went downstairs and I was really nervous for people's reaction.
I heard a plate drop and saw it shattered in pieces.
"Oh my god." Rev said.
"What?" Mina asked.
Rev pointed to me and Mina turned around.
"What? Oh my gosh, Mallory?"
"Uh.. hey?" I waved.
Angelica and I walked over to them.
"This is Mallory, Mina." Angelica said. "Your real, biological sister."
"Is that really you, Mallory?" she asked, shocked.
"I think.." I said.
"You look.. so different!"
"Well.. we gotta go now." Angelica said.
Brett came downstairs and ask, "Hey, where's Mallory?"
I waved my hand.
"Oh, are you new too?" He asked.
"Hey, Brett." I said.
"Mallory?"
Angelica answered, "Yes!"
"What the.. what happened?"
"My magic." Angelica said.
And with that, we went out the door.
We got to school and I was really, really nervous. More nervous than I was at home. How are they going to react? I was really scared.
"Let's go." Angelica said.
I took a deep breath then let it out.
Angelica went out first and came to my side. I opened the door slowly and got out. I quickly turned the other way, from the building. I wasn't ready.. AT ALL.
"Aw, come on, Mallory." Angelica said.
Why did she have to say my name?
She turned me around and I covered my face.
She sigh and moved my hands. The finally, everybody's eyes was on me.
"Uh.." I said.
"Woah, 2 new girls." Donavan pointed out.
I saw Jayden and quickly turned around.
"What are you doing?" Angelica asked.
"I'm not ready for this!" I told her.
"Too bad! We're already at school."
I groaned and turned around slowly.
Donavan and Jayden was approaching us. Oh god.
"Hello, new girls." Donavan said.
"You are?" Jayden asks.
"I'm Angelica." She said. "And this.. this is my friend.."
Don't say my name, oh please, don't!
"This is Mallory." she finished.
"Ma..- Mallory?" Donavan exclaims.
"Mallory?" Jayden asks.
"Uh.. hi.." I said, nervously. I can feel my face heating up.
"You look different." He said.
"Thanks?" I said in a question.
"You look good," said Donavan.
"Well, boys," Angelica said. "we gotta get to class, so excuse you."
Angelica grabbed my arm and we walked in the building.
Jayden's POV:
"I can't believe that's Mallory." Donavan said.
I watched Mallory walk in the school building.
"Jay?"
"Yeah?"
"What are you thinking?" He asks.
"Nothing." I responded.
"You thinkin what I'm thinkin?"
"What are you thinkin?" I ask.
"I mean, Mallory's hot, but the blond girl, I gotta get her. I wanna see how she is in bed."
"You got for her then."
"What are you going to do with Mallory then?"
"We'll see."
