Mrs. Potato head
While Mel's mom lay on the floor drunk and passed out, Mel watched the TV screen.
She sees all of these other women that are very pretty.
She looks at her mother still passed out then she gets an idea.
She grabs her mom's wallet and walks out the door.
She thought that if she needed to be pretty like them she would need a bunch of makeup.
She is welcomed in the drug store then she picks out the makeup that the women were wearing.
The clerk looks at her weirdly but lets her pay anyway.
On her way home a couple of boys come and start to bully her.
"Nice chest Mel..~"
She felt terrified by the boy's comment, and not knowing what was going to happen to her she started to run.
The boys started to chase after her at a fast pace.
With the makeup in her hand, she uses it to hit one of the boys in the crotch to slow him down.
Then there were two.
They were slow so she didn't have to worry about them too much.
After some time the boys gave up on her.
She got home and started on her makeup.
Melanie didn't know what she was doing since she just found out about this stuff a few minutes ago.
Once she starts to put on some of the makeup her face starts to burn.
So many pimples started to form, followed by rashes and burns.
Her slow-coming tears start to form and she tries to wash them off but it just keeps on coming.
Then, it started getting on her hands and her arms.
Soon her body began to fill up with rashes, burns, pimples, and zits.
This was not the image she had of a pretty face.
She tried to call out to her mother but she couldn't hear Melanie from the bathroom.
Melanie starts to shake and shout out to her mother but she still couldn't hear.
She was stuck.
She tries to open the door but it locked right in front of her.
The doorknob starts to burn her hand and the pus from the pimples starts to fill the room, leaving Melanie in there to drown.
Mel bangs and slams on the door but it was no use.
The pus started coming up to her knees and soon her neck.
She screams but no one could hear her.
The pus started getting into her mouth drowning her insides.
Then it got into her eyes then she was gone.
But then she woke up
"I-it was just a dream..calm down Melanie.
No need to be afraid."
The next day she woke up in her bed.
Her mother yelled and cursed at the screen.
She pays no attention to her but she hears her name.
"YOU LEAVE MY DAUGHTER OUT OF THIS MESS!"
She never heard her call her something sweet like that before.
So she was thrilled but she had to hide it.
She grabs the cereal box that had her pet spider inside Felipe.
Mel takes Felipe out of the box and pours cereal into her bowl.
Her mom just walks out of the house not saying goodbye or any remarks.
Melanie is already used to this by now so she isn't emotional about this.
A little after that she goes upstairs, gets her outfit ready, and heads to school with her pet spider.
While no one knows this she has on makeup
