Does It Really Matter?

Here we go...

Unedited_

In the blink of an eye,Sammy was already upstairs,grabbing whatever she needed to prep me up.I could hear her high pitched squeals from upstairs.It was like she was planning some evil way to destroy my face with makeup and raid my wardrobe,only to replace them with clothes which a barbie doll would wear,you know,High heels,leopard print pants, mini skirts,fake eyelashes-the idea makes me wanna puke.I don't want to turn into some kind of honey boo-boo girl who's all fake and.....

"AMMMBER!" She came stumbling down stairs. "Sorry darling,but I'm going to have to bring you to the model agency.I'm so silly I forgot all the things I needed!Unless of course you want makeup and jewellery and miniskirts...."

"Uh no thanks Sammy,I thought we were gonna stick to natural stuff,right?" I say uncertainly.

"Oh right!Yeah!Now let's go!" And before I could say or do anything,she grabbed my hand and ushered me out of the house. Just as we're going to get into her car,She skidded to a stop.

"I nearly forgot!Alice!" She rushed back in,coming back out with Alice in her arms. "Ok!lets move!"

I hopped in the front seat and Sammy buckled Alice into the baby seat.She gave me a sheepish smile "I thought I'd bring this just incase you finally gave in.I knew you always wanted to be beautiful!In no time,we can go shopping together without me getting embarrassed! No offence,though." Huh.

She reversed out of the driveway,and off we went.There was no going back now. The white leather seats smelt of cheap perfume.I wanted to puke. Sammy played songs from all these boy bands and singers that girls would drool over. We were in the middle of the song 'Rock Me' by One Direction until we finally parked in front of a huge modern building. Thank God that was over,otherwise I would have died from the number of Justin Bieber and One Direction songs pumping in my ears.

"Ohmygosh Amber,I am honestly so so sososososoososososososo excited!" She hopped out of the car and pulled me out of my side and unbuckled Alice,dragging us along into the abstract building.As soon as the automatic doors opened,cold air blew in my face and my hair was swept off my shoulders. The place was modern,with designer chairs and tables,where some stylish looking people discussed things on magazines. The entire place smelt of lavender and everyone looked well groomed and fashionable.

That's when I realised Alice was no longer by Sammy's side.Shoot.Shootshootshootshootshoot. I can't loose Alice in here! That's not happening! I started looking around frantically until I spotted her looking up at a woman with slick black hair and a floral dress. She was crouched down i front of her,holding a sample bottle of expensive perfume. I breathed a sigh of lrelief and made my way over to Alice.

"Alice! Don't wonder off like that EVER again!" I didn't care whether people were staring at me like I was a freak. The woman stood up,and it made me feel small and weak since was so tall,with heels. She looked much more pretty with her loose waves down her back and incredibly dark eyes. Now I felt extra ugly too. "Good morning,may I help you with anything?Would you like to try a sample of our new perfume?" She smiled revealing ultra white teeth that nearly blinded me.

"Uh,no thank you I just came to get my little sister" I said,turning to leave. But before I could make it three steps,Sammy found us.

"Melinda!" She squealed, " These are my nieces! The tall one Amber and the little one Alice. How are you?" And the two of them launched into an enthusiastic conversation I had no interest in.

Sammy then turned to me, " Are you ready?" She asked.

"Uh,sure?" I replied.

"Good! Because we're gonna start the make over now!And Melinda is going to help!" Sammy said gesturing to the smiling woman I was just talking to. Sammy scooped Alice up and marched to the lift,and Melinda and I followed. Once we were in she tapped the glowing '6',and up we went. The lift stopped with a soft 'ding' and we stepped out. White benches with neatly organised cosmetics where lined up and down half of the the long room,each and everyone occupied with a woman or man being prepped up by their own stylists. On the other half of the room was a few desks and a refreshment table stacked with coffee, tea and food,most of it just salad or sandwiches. Darn it.No chocolate.

I was cut off my thoughts when I heard a mans voice, "Samantha, fancy seeing you here!" I turned around finding a tall lanky man in his early twenties with carefully styled curls and a light scarf hanging loosely around his neck.He was wearing a loose gray shirt and skinny black jeans and chunky shoes.I could tell he was wearing a lot of perfume and make up.Ew.

"Eddy!" They embraced each other. How does Sammy do that? "Eddy, my niece Amber here needs-I meant wants a makeover."

Immediately his head snapped towards me. He smiled and said "Hello Amber!Such a pleasure to meet you! Sammy has been telling me soooo much about you!" I smiled shyly. He then looked at me weirdly,his thin eyebrows slightly going into a frown like he was concentrating on something hard.Hid head tilted to the side.

"Um." Is all I could think of to say. He snapped out of his trance and smiled widely at me. "I've got the exact idea of what I'm going to do now!" I looked at Sammy uncertainly. "Don't worry doll, he was just examining your face to see the 'inner beauty'" she explained. Right.

I was then kind if shoved into a chair at one of the benches. Here we go.
