Chapter 5: The Change

THE STORY MAY BE A BIT CLICHE BUT I'M DOING MY BEST. THERE MAY BE ERRORS BUT IGNORE THEM I WILL FIX THEM LATER.

Layla drove to the mall as I was singing "Hello" in the car.  After 15 minutes from the hospital we were finally at the mall.

Layla had to drag my lazy butt across the parking lot because I really didn't like to go shopping. When we finally reached the front doors, Layla looked at me scanning my body.

" Um.. what are you doing?" I asked getting uncomfortable that she's doing this in public.

" I'm deciding what to make you wear." she said.

" Um, OK then." I said awkwardly as a girl pass by us staring at us as she went.

"I got it!" Layla said as she jumped up in excitement because an idea struck her mind. Layla dragged me too the destination which was Forever 21. We went inside and Layla took me to the front desk where a pretty blond girl in her 20 was.

" Hi, how may I help you?" she asked.

"Hi I was wondering if you can help us choose some clothes?" Layla asked the blond girl who's name was Alex.

" Oh of course and what type of clothes were you looking for?" she asked as she came out of the desk toward us.

" Well I was thinking about something that matches the name Raven and shows that your not a nerd anymore." Layla said smirking. Alex got what Layla meant and smirked as well. She told us to follow her so we did.

She grabbed a few things and so did Layla. I was just standing there looking like a stiff rock as they fetched me clothes to try on. Finally once they were done Layla made me try them on. Layla said thanks to Alex and they exchange number and I exchange numbers as well.

Alex was 18 years old ans she just moved into town. She said that we were nice and wanted to hang out more and of course we said yes.

"Um, Layla I'm not wearing this.'" I said as I came out of the room to how her how I look.

" What? What's wrong it looks totally amazing on you." Layla said crossing her arms.

" Well, the thing is it's too short." I said pulling my short down a bit. She just shook her head.

" Nope your wearing it weather you like it or not." she said. I knew I couldn't argue so I sighed.

" Fine, OK I will wear it" I said looking real annoyed. Layla screamed a happy scream and pulled me into a  bone crushing hug.

" I-I c-can't b-b-breathe.." I said but Layla just laughed and let me go. We ended up buying all the clothes chose which made us ended up with 15 bags total. We said goodbye to Alex and headed out to our next destination.

" So where to next?" I asked looking at Layla.

" We are going to get your hair done." Layla said and all I could do was nod my head like an idiot.We arrived at he hair salon sooner or later.

"Um, Layla I may broke my cover but I still don't wanna change to much. I mean I wil wear those clothes sometimes but not always." I said. Sure I like the idea of changing but not to much. I just want to be me.

" Come on Layla." I begged. Finally sh gave up and agreed to what I said. I got my hair dyed from dirty blond to dark black. I had highlight at the tips that were purple. Even though I was changing a bit I was still the same me. I may broke my cover of being the innocence nerd but I'm still the girl who loves to read.
