Running for President

Chapter 9

A/N:

Hey yo! Finally, I was able to update after all this time! *looks at watch* 6 days, 4 hours, 36 mins, 4 secs!!!

Yes, I counted. I'm just awesome that way. Joke lang, feeler much.

Anywhos, let's continue onto the story ( >_< )♥

~¤~¤~

The central park of the village was super hot as I waited for my older sister, thinking of the last thing we did together which was precisely 2 years ago when she was 14 and I was 11.

She had just passed the audition for a record company or something like that but our parents didn't want her to sing. Scratch that, they hated the idea of any of their children singing. I have no idea why, it's just like that I guess.

Maria really loved singing and got in a fight with our parents about it and all hell broke loose. Long story short, she left but not before giving André and I her phone number so that we could keep in touch.

She was an awesome sibling, to tell you the truth. She was always able to stop me from crying whenever I tripped, had an accident, and etc. using her voice. Now, she's a superstar that's on no. 1 of the list. Waaayyy, more popular than Jenny. Plus, she used to be the student council president of Moulin Academy so I bet she'll be a big help. I didn't tell Ames of this, I mean, I didn't even tell her I have an older sister! I know, shocking.

"Hey" A familiar gentle voice breathed behind me and I shivered involuntarily. My God, just Onee-san's voice again and I'm already having chills.

I turned around slowly to emphasize the moment. There she was, standing before me in all her glory.

She took on Mom's long fiery red hair that fell past her shoulders and curled at the ends. Her eyes were covered by sunglasses but you know that behind them were the sea-blue eyes that she took on from Dad.

Yes, she was completely different from us twins. We had normal brown hair (Which I personally think looks like poo) and emerald green eyes.

She was wearing a black jacket with a white fitting shirt underneath, black skinny jeans and knee-high heeled black boots. I don't know why, but she absolutely loves black.

"Hey" I managed to breathe out. After one whole minute, I ran into her arms. I missed this feeling, the feeling of being a little girl again and telling my big sis about scaring away the monster in my closet and to fight the bullies.

"You've grown, Andy" She said using my old nickname. "Speak for yourself, Mar-mar" She frowned at her nickname. She always found it a bit annoying. "So, How's life?" She asked and  I raised an eyebrow.

"You really wanna know?"

~¤~¤~

"That's just...woah" She said after I explained the whole story. "And I thought I had a crazy life" She leaned back on the seat of the cafe.

I chuckled "Yeah, and also tomorrow is speech giving day and I completely don't know what to say and do" I told her as I sipped my chocolate chip milk shake.

"Alright, say no more!" She announced. "I'll be going to your school tom. but right now you," She pointed at me "need a massive makeover"

She stood and walked over to my side of the table and looked me over. "Are you sure? I mean, I don't have any money" I informed her and she winked at me before pulling out a black credit card. I gawked at her in shock.

"What?" She aked innocently "If there's one thing I know about being an older sister is that I always have to be prepared" I laughed at the face she made as she recalled the memories.

"But I really missed you..." She said with a far off look in her eyes. "I need some bonding time with you, I feel like your a completely different person now"

"Me too"

First off, we went to a salon and were ushered into a private room as soon as Mar said 'Solo' and some other words. The place was extremely spacious and the walls were decorated by Mar's posters.

Some, I've seen and really wanted to buy but my parent's didn't let me. They said that they 'Never want to see that girl's face again' Even if it's just the car's radio, they'd  slam it shut and mutter some words under their breath.

"Darling!" A man, obviously gay walked up to us and wrapped his arms around Mar. (I have nothing against gay guys, I actually want to be friends with one)

"Denny!" Mar returned the hug and they shook eac other's hands. "You're back! What do you need highlights? New hair color? Different style?" Mar shook her head.

"The one I need you to help is not me" My big sister pointed towards me and I waved my hand shyly. "And who is this?" Denny asked curiously.

"My younger sister" Mar stated proudly. Denny's brows shot up. "Your family?" Mar nodded stiffly, not wanting the topic to be pressed further. Denny seemingly understood since he just nodded and turned to me.

"Maybe a haircut? And some highlights? Trim? Hmmm..." He placed a hand on his chin as he looked me up and down and I squirmed uncomfortably.

"I don't want a lot to change" I told him "I still want to be-"

"Yourself with a few add-ons" I nodded in confirmation as he seemed to know what he was doing. I don't think I can count how many times he's done this sort of thing before.

"Come, sit" He said gently as he led me to a cushioned seat. Mar watched me with an unwavering expression as she took a seat in the chair opposite mine and another guy tended to her hair.

A few minutes later...

I looked at my reflection in the mirror and was shocked at the results. My long untamable brown hair was now cut to the middle of my back and had honey colored highlights that actually made my poo colored hair look good.

My eyebrows were trimmed and looked like Perrie Edward's eyebrows.

My make-up looked natural and my hair was tied in a mermaid braid.

"Your look so pretty" Mar said beside me as she pressed a stray lock behind my ear. "Thanks, you too" It was true, her red hair now had thin golden streaks. Her makeup was light but it made her eyes stick out more.

"Now, on to the clothes!" She said then charged out.

~¤~¤~

To say that this was the best day of my life would be the understatement of the century. I got to see my big sis again and shopping with her was amazing, I really missed her a lot. Imagine, after two years she hasn't changed at all! (only a few bits and pieces) And she payed for the whole thing! Talk about perfect!

I got home with 7 shopping bags filled with matching clothes and shoes. Mar cancelled everythingshe scheduled tom. just to come with me to school.

Katie and Jenny are in for a big surprise.
