              " You know that idiot is right no one loves me and am not sure anyone will ever love me" Eva  crys to her friends in the girls bathroom after the incident.

" No love , it's not like that , it's just sometimes you can be a Brat to Everyone" Belle tells her as she wipe her tears away.

              " What do you mean, am not a brat and you know that . I almost don't accept anything from my parents "

" I know E but you can be very rude all the time and that's why it's a lot difficult for anyone apart from us to love you " Belle tells the truth

          " What do you mean rude , am just being truthful unlike you and Cindy , who would prefer to lie and sugarcoat things "

" Yes and we have both had boyfriends"

           " Which ended in heartbreak" Eva interrupt Belle

" Can you both shut it " Cindy speaks for the first time since they got into the bathroom. " Eva , Belle is right, sometimes the truth can be painful and considered rude, just like what happened in the hallway. You got hurt after hearing the truth. And Belle and I don't sugarcoat the truth we put your feelings before the truth.

    " That's sugarcoating Cindy" Eva say

" No that's love" Cindy says
    
         " How is that love " Eva ask

" Okay for my birthday last year , do you remember the dress you got for me " Belle asked and Eva nods

" Do you know the dress was way big for me ? "  Belle asked Eva to which she got a no

" That's true because I told you it was perfect ,  one of the best gifts I had gotten so far"

         " Yes plus it looked perfect on you so what are you saying " Eva asked confused

" I paid for the dress to be altered to fit me , that's why you didn't know anything about it "  Belle explains

         " Why , you should have told me , I would have done something about it "

" I didn't say anything because I knew the amount of stress you where going through during that period. I didn't want to add to it. I had seen how much stress you had gone through , designing the dress, getting the perfect tailor to put the master piece together for my party. So when I said the gift was perfect I didn't mean the dress was perfect I meant , the thought , the initiative , the time , the effort was one of the best gifts I had so far . Who cares if the dress wasn't a perfect fit.

       " I do , Belle I do. Why didn't you tell me?" Eva asked

" What would you had me do , tell you ,oh Eva the dress is too big and I can't believe you designed me a dress with a low back when you know very well I hate and am trying to hide the hideous marks on my back . I should have never trusted you to do my dress you have ruined my party for me . thank you very much.  No Eva.  if I said that , I would have hurt your feelings . Despite the fact that I would have been telling the truth. I know the only reason you made a mistake like that is because you were very excited.

   
   That's why despite the error I appreciated you for a job well done.  Because I love you. Sometimes  we don't sugarcoat anything we just overlook the error and put in the effort. "

        " So what are you saying now ?"

" We are saying try a little bit of good girl for the moment, and let's see how that works out for you. " Belle say

      " Eh? " Eva is confused

" Try being a little humble, down to earth and less rude then see if you won't be able to find love"  Belle says

        " Belle my inability to find love has nothing to do with my attitude" Eva argues

  

" It so does " Belle argues

         " Does not "
" Does so "

       " Enough! " Cindy shouts " there is only one way to settle this a bet . If by the end of this month after being all what Belle want you to be , good girl and all . And you still don't have a boyfriend then she would give you her allowance for the whole term ."

" Not good enough for me " Eva objects

        " Okay I'll be your personal errand girl for a month  but if you do find love after doing what and being who I want you to be, you will be my personal errand girl for a month plus you let me drive your Ferrari to school for that month "
" If I win you will do what ever I say" Eva adds

" Sure " belle answered and they both shack hands

          " And the bet is sealed" Cindy says .

" Oh and forget about that ass in the hall way okay , he doesn't know what he is talking about. He barely knows you" Cindy say

Eva cleans her face and they are about to step out of the restroom when Cindy asked why Eva early gave in,into letting Belle drive her car to school .

Eva whisper to Cindy " she wouldn't be able to drive it to school cause the government has band it's usage on the highway. "   Then she turns to Belle " how did you pretend to be comfortable in the low back dress I gave you ,that revealed the marks .

    " I had a tailor add lace and the back wished cover the marks and I didn't have to pretend. Am sure you didn't notice because of how busy you were making sure I had the time of my life . That's why I love you . Belle says and hugs Eva with Cindy joining in .
