A Geek Trying To Be A Beauty Freak

The Dressing Room

I waited a couple of minutes before going to ask her, thinking through my thoughts carefully trying not to make them sound rude.

I tapped Aimee lightly on her shoulder, making her turn around to face me.

'Could I have a quick word with you in the dressing rooms?' I asked.

'Yeah sure, but I will grab a couple of bags and accessories so Lily isn't suspicious.' She answered, grabbing a beautiful scarf with matching sunglasses.

'We are going to try a few things on, I will tell you how everything fitted.' I told Lily and her quiet friends. Lily nodded slightly with her back turned to us.

We walked into the dressing rooms, closing the golden door and sitting down on the rouge seats. I stared at her for a few seconds, before I realised that I was daydreaming.

'I need to talk to you about the tenth rule that Aimee quoted. I'm just not happy about the fact that we are not aloud to talk to Brynn and Terra or meet up with them. We have more friends than just Lily you know.' I told her, hoping she understood what I was saying.

'I understand but remember that Lily can do whatever she wants if you make her mad. Just for just now, leave Brynn and Terra behind for once.' She explained.

'I know but I just don't want to hurt their feelings. I hate doing that to people.' I told her, staring her dead in the eye.

'Aria, stop! You cannot keep worrying about everyone else's feelings anymore. Your in high school and people will constantly back-stab you so stop being so caring. Just leave it okay.' She told me, unlocking the door and stepping out.

I gathered the accessories, a tiny tear slipping from my eyelid. Shocked, that is what I felt. I cannot believe Aimee would say such a thing about her own friends. I don't even know if Brynn and Terra are her friends anymore. I don't know what to do. As Aimee said, Lily can do whatever she wants if she gets mad.

I carefully walked out, reaching Lily and Aimee. Aimee was giving me a kind and sorrowed face.

'I didn't suit anything...' I said, my face looking at the tiled ground. I then began to think that I am going to make my own choices and no one can stop me.
