When she transformed into a butterfly,the caterpillars spoke not of her beauty but of her weirdness. They wanted her to change back into what she always had been.
But she had wings.

woke up to the bright rays of sunlight escaping through the tiny holes on my curtain. I groaned as I moved on my bed and turned to the other side to escape the sunlight. I almost started panicking when I saw 11:27 on my alarm clock but remembered I had no classes for the day. I got Fridays and Tuesdays off. Well not completely on Tuesdays because I had one class of financial management.
Something's missing I thought to myself as the memory of last night came rushing back to me. I wondered where Caroline was and right on que the door opened and a beaming Caroline holding take out packs from McDonald's came in.
"Hi" she said in her high-pitched voice.
"Hey" I said groggily
"I got breakfast" she replied in a sing-song manner while shaking the bags in her hand.
"Yaayy" I said flatly as I got up to go to the bathroom.
"Gee Caroline thank you,aren't you just the best" she stated sarcastically which caused me to exit the room. I brushed my teeth and decided to take a shower then and just get it over with. I got out and Caroline had already eaten her food. I looked at the mess she made on the floor near the couch and said
"You're soo cleaning that up"
"Yeah yeah whatever"
"Hey what's that?" She asked pointing to the leather bag containing my dress. I had totally forgotten about it and hadn't opened it yet. Caroline got to it and pulled it out before I could stop her.
"Wooow!!! Oh my God this is sooo B.E.A.U.tiful Ramona"
I looked up,seeing the dress for the first time. It really was pretty. I was expecting it to look more like a dress from the 80s as aunt said,guess she lied about it.
"What's the occasion?" She asked
"Cinderella's birthday"
"You really don't have to be an ass all the time" she stated flatly.
"Actually.... I kinda do"
"I can't win with you" she said then dropped the dress and came back to the couch.
🎶"My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard..."🎶
I heard the song milkshake and wondered where it was coming from until Caroline took out her phone.
"Milkshake. Really Caroline? What boys do you wanna bring to your yard?" I asked teasingly. A shade if pink tinted her cheeks and I started to laugh
"Answer it please" I said between chuckles "I don't think my ears can take anymore". Her face was bright red by now. She looked at the caller ID and rejected it.
"Why didn't you pick? Who was it?"
"My mom" "She's been bugging me to get a boyfriend since she visited last week and saw how much of a loner I am" she finished pouting.
