Chapter 15- Dress to impress

Andi p.o.v
The next morning at school I met Maddie in the first floor bathroom so she could do my makeup. "Ok I'm done," she said putting on the last finishing touches " remember, walk with confidence, don't slouch, and smile, you actually have pretty great looking teeth." She said, circling me and fixing my uniform. Since she had made me look so great, she insisted that I would also have to wear a skirt and heels. Even though I hated skirts, I had to admit I looked pretty good in it. "Ok" she said, stepping back to admire her work. "Go, and remember what I told you"she said, gesturing towards the door. I nodded and walked towards the door ready to impress. Before I left, I turned back to Maddie, who was packing up her makeup bag. "Maddie" I said. She turned around "thank you" I said, giving her a small smile. She returned the smile and ushered me out.

15 mintues I stood in the abandoned hallway, too scared to show myself. I was scared about what everyone would say. I spent a few mintues deciding to run home and change and wash of the makeup, but when I tried to carry out my plan, Maddie saw me and stopped me. "Why are you over here hiding?" She asked, dragging me out of my hiding spot. "I can't do this!" I said, now panicked. "Oh come on" she said annoyed, dragging me out into the loud hallway. Everybody immediatly shut up and stared. I heard whispering from a pair of girls across the hall and started to breathe faster. Maddie elbowed me in the side to remind me of what I was supposed to do. I took a deep breath, smiled, flipped my hair (my own little touch, pretty great huh?) and walked towards my locker. Girls whispered and glanced at me while boys stared with their mouths hanging open. I almost ruined everything that Maddie and I had tried so hard to acheive when I almost tripped in the pink pumps that she had taught me how to walk in, but I caught myself. I flipped my hair again before opening my locker. "Andi?" I heard someone ask from behind me, sounding confused. I turned around to find Emma staring at me with a mix of confusion and horror. "Oh hello Emma" I said, giving her one of my winner smiles. "What happened to you?!?" She asked, looking me up and down. "Do you like it?" I asked hopeful. "I do, a lot, but its-its not...you" she said sadly. "Well it is now, and you're going to have to accept it" I said, slamming my locker shut. "If you don't, well I guess we can't be friends any more" I said, looking in her eyes. And i wasnt lying. I was done with zombies and weapons and video games. I loved how I looked and how confident and special I felt. This was the new me. "So?" I asked her impatiently, tapping my heel on the floor "what's your decision?" She thought for a minute. "Andi you're my best friend, and although I think this change is sudden, I love you anyway you are" she said. I smiled and looped my arm through her's. "Perfect" I said as we walked down the hall. "Just perfect"
