I almost can't focus anymore. My car is smashed. I'll have to pay with the money I don't have. I don't really have a job besides going to art shows and selling my pictures to magazines and newspapers.

I walk around for a good spot. I have already got some pics. The sunny day was slowly turning cloudy though. Now the sky held a dull gray hue. The winds start to whip and tangle my hair. I find a rock and sit on top of it.

I look out onto the amazing ocean. So full and blue just before, is Now gray and dull. Just like my train of thoughts. I was so happy and ready for a day at the beach and then that jerk came along.

I jump of the rock into the damp sand. One of my sandals sinks in as a small wave washes over my feet. I kick and splash the water. I feel drops of water splattering everywhere. I give up and start to head back to the car.

"Claire, come on!"

I'm in my apartment. Sydney is standing in the doorway.

"You know that I'm not having the best day right? have you seen my car? those stupid YouTube jerks" I throw my camera case onto the couch. I sit down next to it.

Sydney walks in and closes the door. "I'll take that not as a compliment."

I look up at her and sigh. "You know I didn't mean you."

Sydney is a pretty big YouTuber. You may think she works at Starbucks, well she does, but that only for some extra cash. She's really big on YouTube with like 800,000 subscribers! she's friends with a bunch if YouTubers and now wants me to come to a party with her. I am not in the mood for a party.

"I'll pick out your outfit, I'll do your makeup and your hair! see no stress!"

I look at Sydney and laugh, "no it's fine I can do it."

Sydney smiles "I'm guessing that's a yes to the invite?"

I sigh with I smile, "well I guess so..." Sydney grabs my arm and drags me to my room.

I look in the mirror. Sydney pushed me to it. I look at my white shorts and light purple top that comes up to my waist line. I see my hair down past my shoulders, wavy and light brown mixed with the blonde streaks from the sun.

"Before" Sydney states and she drags me to the bathroom.

Sydney pushes one last time and I'm in front of the mirror again. I look in and see a big difference.

I am wearing a dress with a white tank top style top. The skirt part of the dress is a ruffled floral looking design. I am accessorized with gold earring and a necklace. My hair is now straightened with a side part. The side of my part with more hair has a medium sized braid going back. The braid in the back is pinned back with a bobby pin. My makeup is heavier than before too, but it looks perfect.

"I love it" I smile.

Sydney comes up from behind me and squeals "great! you look perf!"

I turn around and hug her.

"lets go!"
