Chapter 4: Not Just a Regular Chick

'Hey! Look out for that moving van, driving down our streets. You better lock up your man, before he meets; The new girl in town! Who just came to the scene. The new girl in town! Can't be more than sixteen. And she's got a way of making a boy act like a clown! Ooooooh! And we don't know what to do 'bout the new girl in town.' 

- The New Girl in Town, Brittany Snow featuring Sarah Jayne Jenson, Hayley Podschun, Kamilah Marshall, Terita Redd, and Shayna Steele.

Cara's POV

The upbeat ringtone from the island sings its melody beside my ear just as the same time my eyes raise open like curtains. Oh, my gosh! I try opening my eyes, but for a slight reason; the bags under my eyes are really impossibly heavy to take control of. Deciding to wash my face and brush my teeth in the shower, I've also let some of the ends of my hair in its natural curls, so I can still have time to straighten it since it's two minutes past six o'clock in the morning. I turn the music from my phone on as the song, I'm Free by the Soup Dragons comes on when I push open the door of the closet full of clothes I purchase throughout the summer with Joelle, Ciera, Tiffany, and Michelle.

Damn! I have so much clothes in my closet! The top of my teeth stiffens onto my bottom lip. From my closet, I pick out a pair of high waist jeans to enhance my curves and a mint green cold shoulder neck trimming top with lace. I start dressing up in these clothes and after that, I go on my laptop to open up my latest e-mail from the girls.

The subject reads, 'Basic Back to School tutorial,' and I read the rules that we must wear natural based eyeshadow and Maybelline's Baby Lips. Also, the e-mail has a video of Joelle, Ciera, Tiffany, and Michelle sitting on the edge of the bed in the state of crestfallen because of their heads hanging down and the intake of breaths. I click on the play icon.

"Hey, guys!" Tiffany begins, attempting to smile, but sadly. "We have good news and bad news. The bad news is; Cara moved to Las Vegas, Nevada. But, the good news is; we have Cara's makeup tutorials with us! Last night, my brother installed a program where you can add a clip and combine it together. And just because Cara isn't living in Arizona anymore with us, does not mean we're breaking up because we are never breaking up as sisters." Ciera declares.

When it comes to my best friends and I doing makeup tutorials; we keep the image of our personalities very clean, refining, and true just like on the Real for people to make our fan base and art very beautiful every day, week, month, and year.

I start up the video with the music of the day; Mr. Taxi by Girls Generation and Echoes by Lana Williams. "Hey, everybody! This is Cara, again, but at this time, I had just moved from Tucson, Arizona to Las Vegas, Nevada as I am transferred to a different school because both my parents already found separate jobs. So, anyway; this is the first time for me to, like, make this video without my besties. However; we're still gonna do collaborate makeup tutorials together, even when I visit in person. So, I hope you will enjoy this tutorial!" I announce and start the tutorial.

***********************

Few minutes after making the video, a deep growl in my stomach makes waves of hunger. I head downstairs with my stuff for school to the kitchen and to my surprise; my parents are already making a buffet of pancakes, scrambled eggs, French toast, a basket of muffins and various fruits, and glasses of orange juice, sitting straight on the counter.

"Good morning, Cara! We weren't expecting you to wake up this early. What are you doing at this time of around six in the morning?" Mom queries and is churning her coffee with the coffee maker machine.

"I woke up to do the makeup tutorial on YouTube." I explain and sit down on the stool with a plate of food in front of me. My hand grasps for the glass of orange juice. Gulping the juice out of the glass, I begin eating my food when the knock on the door interrupts me eating my breakfast. It must be Orianna.
