   Before I knew it, the day of the auditions arrived. I stared at myself at the mirror.I looked dull, so I decided to wear some makeup.I took out an eyeliner, a pair of fake eyelashes, a blusher and a cherry-coloured lipstick out of my drawer. Suddenly, I gave out a scream.

  "Aaah! A pimple!" I shrieked. An angry-looking zit was finding attention, so it stayed at the middle of my nose. I panicked and scourred for my foundation. I almost cried for Mila but came to my senses. Within minutes, my room became a mess.

   I heard a soft knock on the door.

   "Steph, be quick! You'll be late,"

   Oh-uh. Its my mother. Suddenly, the door flung open and our eyes met.

   "Stephanie, what is... AAAH!" my mother shrieks.

   "AAAH!" I followed.

   "AAAAAAAH!" we screamed in unison. She saw it when she enters. The pimple.

   "Mom, how can I go to school like this?! Furthermore, today is the auditions!" I whined.

   "Well, at least you have a makeup expert here!" she said and winked at me . After a few adjustments, she convinced me that the zit was not obvious and I went to school.

   When I walked along the hallway, people kept staring at me . Some students laughed their heads off when they look at my face. I knew that there has got to be the pimple. I ran to the ladies and gasped when I look at the mirror.

   The pimple looked much more clearer as Mom did not put foundation at the spot. I also discovered that my face was half white and half tan. I felt my anger rising. This is one of the many reasons Mom is not my favourite person.

    Suddenly , I saw a girl who was wearing a glimmery sleeveless top, a denim miniskirt and golden high-heel boots entered the toilet.

   "Shit, that must be a popular person! Oh no , its Clarice!" I said to myself. Without covering my face, I stared at her in the eye. She bursted into laughter .

   "Gosh, in that kind of appearance, you think that people will like you? If its like this , I will definitely win. Thanks, little bitch. Toodles!" she snorted. She left the toilet while humming her audition song.

   I hated her so much . I kept asking her to leave me alone but she won't . All of a sudden , an unwanted memory flashed to my mind .

   "Hi Clarice," I greeted her when she opened the door of her house. Her expression changed from a smile to a frown.

   "You! How dare you come here! Get the hell out of here! I don't want to see you ever again!" she screamed.

  "W-what? But we are friends. Best friends. Have you lost your mind?" I asked.

  "You stole Kelvin from me purposely, right?! You knew that I like him since third grade! You took him just when he starts to like me! He is my life! You wrecked my life, so I am going to wreck yours, whore!" she continued to scream and slammed the door at my face.

   Now I remembered. This is the reason . I gave out a sigh. I was the one who started it. I washed the whole makeup that Mom did for me and decided to audition bare-faced.
