Tyler dropped me off at home, it was a very interesting car ride, he kept telling me how good I looked when I had stepped out of that dressing room in my maxi dress.
“Thanks, Tyler,” I said, every time he would bring it up.
“So what are you doing tomorrow?” he asked.
“Probably chores for Cruella, why?” I answered.
“Just wondering,” he said, “it’s been hard without you, Lorraine and I don’t really get along anymore without you.”
“It’s been hard for me, too,” I said.
“Yeah, but you’ve made new friends,” he said, “You’re moving on, soon you’ll forget about us, you’ve already started.”
“I have not!” I told him.
“Yeah,” he said, “you have, don’t pretend that you remember Lorraine asking you to come to the mall yesterday, you went with Amanda instead.”
I blushed, it was true, I HAD forgotten about Lorraine inviting me to go shopping with her and Tyler.
“I’m sorry,” I said.
“That’s not all,” he said, “when you finally showed up, you barely paid attention to me and Lorraine, you were with Amanda the whole time, going into designer stores, buying expensive shoes, you’ve changed Ellie.”
“Most people call me Elle now,” I said.
“Oh,” he said, “you’ve even changed your name. The transformation is complete!”
I sighed and looked down. He was right, I wasn’t the same, and I had only gone to prep school for two days. What was wrong with me?
“I’m sorry.” I said, as we pulled up the driveway.
“Save it,” he said, “Until Ellie comes back.”
I nodded, with my head down, grabbed my bags, and ran inside, I was lucky I had run this way so many times before, because my tears were blinding my vision.
I ran past my stepsisters, and into my room, shutting the door behind me. Once inside, I completely broke down. I was slumped against the door, crying my heart out, because, as much as I hated to admit it, Tyler was right. I had changed, I wasn’t Ellie anymore, I was Elle now, a totally different person.
I no longer had the desire to wear vintage, or tennis shoes, and I couldn’t see myself leaving the house without make up on, and no matter how hard you tried, I would not let you wrestle my hair into a ponytail any longer. I was different, and that’s what hurt the most.
It wasn’t long before my stepsisters came banging on my door.
“Elizabeth! Open up!” they called, “we want to see what you bought!”
I was lucky that I had the foresight to lock my door, so I had just enough time to hide my dress and shoes in a secret compartment in my desk, that my father had installed before he died, because I told him how much my sisters came barging into my room, and going through my things. I only put the most important things in my hiding place, expensive jewelry that belonged to my mother, my father’s favorite antique book, Huckleberry Finn, and a gorgeous maxi dress, with matching shoes.
I opened my door and showed them my bags, they immediately started going through them .
“I love this purse!” Dawn said.
“These sunglasses are to die for!” said Analyse.
Thankfully, this time, they didn’t take all twelve of my shopping bags, they only pulled out a few choice items, and thankfully my Prada sunglasses were too plain for both of them.
Once they had left, I put away the rest of my clothes in my closet.
I didn’t really feel like impressing Charlie anymore, so I had decided to fake sick in the morning.
I fell into bed exhausted. Maybe tomorrow would bring some relief to this grieving heart.

Now, on to the story, PLEASE don't hate me for that ending, it HAD to happen!! And I changed a few things in the story, like the name issue, and how she was being called all of these different names & stuff, and I also added in chapter 9 the explination of the names and why she is being called Elle now instead of Ellie. If you want to go check that out, you can, it's not really vital to the story, but it makes this chapter make a little more sense with what Tyler said.
Did you like it? Do you hate me? Please don't hate me. What did you think??
Let me know your thoughts!!!
Wow this is a LOOOONNNGGG Authors Note :D Probably the longest paragraphs I've written since my last school paper!! I need to write bigger paragraphs, and make it more descriptive, I'll work on that once I finish it, take out the details that aren't neccessary, and put in things like the scenery and stuff, because right now it's basically up to your imagination.
Well, that's it. Toodles!!!! :D
