  I see Lucy's house in sight and I knock on the door, just then I realise that I was 'myself'. I try to hide but she already opened the door.

"Hey do I know you" she questioned looking up at me.

I guess it's time to let her know.

" It's me Diana, let's go inside and I promise I'll explain everything to you trust me"

"But the Diana I know is blonde, beautiful" she paused.

"Not that I'm saying your ugly but, okay fine come in I'm ready to listen to your explanation" Lucy said as she opened the door signaling for me to enter.

I entered into the small but yet comfortable house. I sat down on the chair opposite where Lucy sat.

"So ready to tell me all about it?,did you think I would like you less just because of the way you look. I became your friend not because of how you look on the outside but what you are on the inside". She said as she came to me gently placing her hand on my shoulder.

"See Lucy... It's just that I was bullied for the way I looked I'm black and it was really hard to hide my colour, they called my black curly hair ugly and said I don't belong to their country" I told her in between sobs.

"So racism still happen in this present time?"

"Yes and I thought that maybe if I transfer school I can start afresh without being hated and bullied. I just wanted to know how it felt to be loved".

Lucy hugged me and assured me that everything was going to be fine.

"So by the way Lucy what was the 'emergency'" I questioned.

"Oh that, I'm going on a date and I wanted you to help me choose what to wear. I'm still getting used to seeing you like this would you be coming to school like this or"

"I'm gonna stick with blondie. So that was the reason you called me" I rolled my eyes at her.

"So let's get started I have five choices and I'm still not sure which to choose" she showed me the five dresses one after another.

She went to the kitchen and came back with a jug and two glasses.

"I saw Jayden at the Cafe today during my shift, I wasn't sure if he recognized me but he said I looked familiar". I said as I took a sip of the lemonade.

"There's no way that could happen you look waaaaaay different from your fake self so chill".

"Should I take that as an insult or complement".

"Anyone you choose".

"Aha, this is the one" I said as I raised a purple dress up.
