"Hey Ashley wanna go to Sunny sundaes, think weekend" A guy asked me sitting behind me in the last lesson. 

"Excuse me, but do I know you?" I asked

"So you like to play hard to get, huh" He said leaning back in his chair crossing his arms over his chest. I was really confused , this guy I never even knew existed just taps me on the back and asks me, if I'll go on a date with him. What the f*ck happened that suddenly every guy is asking me out. Three guys had asked me out today. Parker, Oliver (who I used to be in the same class with and was the genius in every class except for P.E.), and this random guy.

Talia dropped me off to my house, because I didn't want to ride with Bryan, and she talked about what she was going to wear to her date with Matt. But I was too busy trying to understand what changed, that guys were asking me out. I was one of those girls that no one had interest and I wasn't and still aren't interested in anyone.

I entered my house and locked the door behind me then I went into the living room searching for my Mom. I always had this habit of seeing my Mom after being out all day and I wasn't ashamed of it. Moms deserved all the love and care in the whole world. I checked in every room, but couldn't find her then I remembered that Aunt Clarice was back so Mom was most probably next door. I went upstairs, put my bag aside and went across my room to my full length mirror next to my bathroom door.

What changed?  I asked myself. Then I took out my phone and, found a photo of me from last year. In the photo I was holding a mint chocolate chip ice cream. I had braces then, they were shining because of my wide smile. I didn't mind how I looked with them but cleaning them and eating with them was hell. I also had red spots all over my forehead. And my hair was in a messy bun, plus I was wearing sweats. Last year I had a minor obsession with wearing sweatpants 24/7. At the time I thought I looked really stylish, but now that I look at the photo and then back at me right now, I saw a huge, enormous difference. I didn't changed just a little I looked like a different person almost. Now I had a light olive tan and I had developed some curves, my acne and braces were gone, and my hair was longer. Who knew I had a glow up. How come my mom or sister didn't notice my acne disappeared or that my fashion sense went thirty levels up.

Then I remembered Cassie saying 'now that you're hot ' and Bryan saying I'd changed.

I sat on my bed for a while just thinking about it when Izzy knocked on my door. "Ashley we've been next door already, and Mom says you have to go join her, and, oh did I mention she said no option" then she barged into my room and sat on my desk.

I took out the same photo from last year and showed it to her "Izzy, look at this, how did you not notice such a big difference in me!" I exclaimed. She looked at the photo then at me then back, then her eyes widened "When did you become... changed into you!" she said looking at me. I put my hands on my hips "That's exactly what I'm asking"

"Oh my godddd, I've got the hottest sister ever!" She exclaimed getting of my desk. "Please teach me how you had this epic glow up" She pleaded

"Glow up? I didn't even know until guys asked me out!" I said mad she didn't notice before me pointing it out to her, but then I noticed what I spilled while proving my point.

Her mouth dropped open "No way you're the girl Cassie's scared off? Guys are asking you out on the first day of school!And to be clear this is guys we're talking about not one but multiple. OMG!!!" Izzy started jumping, but then stopped.

"Wait what guys asked you out?" she said waiting

I laughed because of how funny it was my sister was so interested in my love life. But then she kept waiting for a response so I sighed and told her who, and then she asked how so I told her that as well. I was thinking she was going to scream or something, but she sat on my fluffy beige carpet and was thinking about something. I waited then she said "So let me get this straight, some of the hottest guys are asking you out, and you rejected all of them?" seriously that's all she cares about? "WHYYYYY?" she whined
