Grace's POV

I didn't mind school that much. The learning part wasn't the most interesting majority of the time, but school gave me a chance to hang out with people. This is where I made friends.

This school day I dreaded though. Not because it was Monday. Monday had most of my favourite subjects. It was the fact that Harley decided I had to "dress up."

Now because my school had a uniform policy, it was more of a "do your hair, shave and try to put on as much make up as you can" thing. I basically had to try and look nice.

I wasn't overly thrilled with this idea, I knew it was a bad idea, but something inside me told me to go for it. I was definitely going to regret this decision later.

A knock at my door took me out of my thoughts. I kept getting changed into my school uniform as Jake called out to me through the door.

"You ready yet Gracie?"

"I just have to finish my assignment. I'll get mum to drop me off today." I called back.

Please go... please go... please go...

"Uh... okay. See you at school." He muttered, probably confused.

I rarely ever left my homework or assessment til last minute. Luckily, he bought my lie and decided to go to school without me. It wasn't too big of a deal anyway.

Okay so uniform was on. Now to look... better.

Harley's Fabulous Guide on How to Look Fabulous:

Step 1: Move that skirt up higher girl! We want to see your legs ;)

Step 2: Keep your hair down and curl it... or don't... just keep it down

Step 3: Apply some lip gloss and mascara.

Step 4: If you're feeling rebellious, put on some mascara and blush first.

Step 5: USE THAT CUTE HANDBAG I GAVE YOU. NOT THE UGLY BACKPACK YOU OWN. (Just for now)

Step 6: Remember: Giggle, bite your lip, sway your hips and BAM. Your boyfriend is back. Or maybe a new one is here to stay...

This was Harley's genius plan for me.

I hated it.

I didn't want to look like some try hard. That's not who I am. If this is what it took for guys to notice me, I didn't want to be involved with them.

For Harley's sake, I did it though. I used all her steps to make myself a better version of me. Once she realised her plan didn't work today, I wouldn't have to do it tomorrow right? So let's make her believe I actually want to do this, and that I tried.

"This is so exciting." Harley told me in the bathroom, bouncing up and down. "You're going to go purposefully flirt with Jake." She squealed.
