Chapter 9 - The surprise

Monday

I took a shower and took a sparkly speckled pink dress above my knee with golden high heels .

My mum was so surprised when I got downstairs because she has never seen me like this before .

And also I was so excited for my birthday party on next week Saturday am going to be 17! Wow

My mum drove me to school

Thanks mum bye I said

Bye honey have great day at school my mum said

When I got to the hallway I saw people staring as if they have never seen me before like am Belinda Williams duh!

I ran to Sandra and thanked her again

You are welcome and I noticed a lot of people staring as if they have never seen me before

Betty walked up to us to say hi cheerfully

Who is the new girl she asked

What?! I and Sandra said in unison

I have never seen her before she said

Hello this is Belinda Williams I said

Say what!? I thought ..

And she just walked away ,wow people think you are a new girl the make up really did work Sandra said

Hahaha we laughed together

My phone rang beep beep

I almost fell on my high heels because of running to history class

Yes am sorry ,while I walked to my sit at least one teacher in this school recognized me I thought

The bell rang and left for the parking lot waiting for Sandra but she didn't show up . so I decided to walk until Jake offered me a ride .

He gave a little chuckle and smiled
