'So you are telling me, that those pills can change me to be attractive as hell?' I repeated, becouse I still wasn't convinced.

'Yes ma'am, and not only that. Take one every day and after a while, you will get results. It shouldn't take long for people to notice.'  The small, round woman behind the stand told me again.

'How much do you want?' I asked, taking the pills out of her hand.

'it will be 25$' She smiled at me, stretching out her hand.

'This better work' I scoffed, giving her the money and walking back home.

The fair was opened for only 4 hours and it was full of people by now. I came just to look around.

_20 minutes later_

'I swear, if the lady lied, I'm gonna be pissed.' I said for my self and I went to my kitchen, putting my bag down.

Since I was at the fair, I got some vegetables too.

After putting my stuff down, I took the pills out of my pocket. 'They look like from 19th century or something'

I said, turning them around in my hand.

I opened the jar and took out one pill.

It was this clear capsule. It was really soft and and I couldn't help but to shove it in my mouth.

I swallowed it, ate some dinner, showered and went to sleep.

I woke up, feeling a little off. My belly gurgled and I felt a sharp pain in my stomach.

'What the fuck?' I said, sitting up on my bed.

But nothing seemed off.

So I just ignored it and stand up. My blouse was hanging loose as always.

I changed into a cropped undershirt and some jean shorts.

I grabbed some food and sat down to my computer.

I scrolled through YouTube for a while and then I remembered.

Oh, the pills.

I took one out and swallowed it.

20 mins later I found my self getting hungry again, but I don't have any much food at home, so I got up and went to the nearby store.

I may have went a bit overboard with my shopping since I got a way more things then I was planning to get.

But they were in sale and a little more sweets couldn't hurt.

_back at home_

Once I got back, I started cooking my breakfast. Scrambled eggs, cherry tomatoes and a simple toast with water.

Then I sat down to my computer and started working. I work as a manager of one small shop. But the money is still good.

It was like the 4 hours just flew by and I was finished with work. I still have to be on my phone, if anyone needed anything, but I was freed of any meetings and other boring stuff.

Since it was already time for lunch, I decided to go out and get one. So I called my good friend, Lisa.

'Hey Lisa, what are you up to? I was thinkink, that mabye we could go get some food. Mabye even a drink'

We talked for a bit and decided to go to one restaurant, that wasn't so far away. After that we'll go for a coffee.

I went to my bedroom to get changed to some more formal clothes.

I decided to go with red minidress and high red heels.

'Oh, before I go.' I said, stopping in my tracks. Turning around. 'Imma take one, just to be sure it works'

I said popping another pill into my mouth and swallow it.

'And I'm ready to go'
