The Story Untold (A Collins Key fanfic)

Shopping!!!

I made it through the first night at Henry and Martha's house. It wasn't too bad. A few days later I awoke to amazing smells coming from the kitchen. Martha was making omelets, bacon, and pancakes. Over breakfast she talked to me about how once every month her and Henry had to work Saturdays. This weekend Henry had to work and two weekends from now Martha would then work. She then proceeded to tell me about the plans she had for the day.

"So I figured we got shopping to get stuff for your room first because it isn't as fun as clothes shopping. Then we'll go wherever you want and you can get whatever you'd like."

"You're joking right?"

"No of course not. I know you mentioned you kinda wanted to change your image to go along with your new life. I want to help as much as I can."

She wasn't wrong; as soon as I knew I would be moving in with a new family I resolved that I was going to change myself. Not many people had the chance to change who they are but I did and I was going to take it. I wanted to start working out, which I planed on doing with the handy dandy gym in the basement. I also wanted to make over myself.

"Thank you for understanding and helping me through all of this."

"Of course, anything. You are my daughter now and I figured a shopping day would be a good bonding day."

After breakfast and getting ready Martha and I headed out. We left the first store with so much stuff: a new bed set, curtains, paint, a full length mirror, and a few other things all with the same color scheme, my favorite color, blue.

Martha then asked me what I wanted to do next and I told her we should go clothes shopping. After five stores I already had 20 new outfits, 15 pairs of shoes, and a bunch of miscellaneous stuff. With money not being an object it was pretty easy to be loaded up pretty quickly. After that we went for a late lunch to a quaint little shop Martha knew about.

We spend almost two hours talking about our lives: our hobbies, our dreams, and so much more. It was kinda weird that I could get along so easily with someone I had just met. As we were getting ready to leave she told me she had a surprise for me.

"Oh really? I don't need anymore. You've done more than enough for me today."

"Please I insist. I know you want to change your look because you are starting a new life basically so I set up and appointment at the salon I go to. You can get a new hairstyle, new way of doing your makeup, whatever you'd like."

"Wow thank you so much."

I ended up getting my hair cut to my shoulders. It was at about the middle of my back before. I also dyed it, I had light brown hair and got dark brown with touches of red, a type of burgundy.

I got lots of new makeup, hair care products, curling iron, flat iron, and blow dryer.

With all the new stuff I had plenty to choose from for Tuesday when I would start at the new school.

Martha said tomorrow we would work all day on painting my room so that it would be dry and I could sleep in there the first night before school.

When we got home I decided I would try out one of my new workout outfits. I went downstairs and had an hour long workout. It was very tiring but also satisfying. We then ate dinner and I got ready for bed. I fell asleep pretty early. I was exhausted!

~The next day~

I woke up at 9 the next day after a good nights rest. Both Henry and Martha were ready for painting so they got started moving stuff, laying down lining, and painting while I ate breakfast. When I got up there they had both just started working on their own wall. I got dressed and then started on my own wall. We listened to music, danced, laughed, and got work done. But lunch time we were already done and I was surprised by how quickly we got done given it was such a large room. Life here wasn't too bad.

~Tuesday~
The first day of school went alright. It was really hard to find some of the classrooms in such a big school but I managed. After a long day I just went home and crashed in bed.
