Love Chronicles

CHAPTER THREE

I was too deep in thought to notice someone was in my way and I bump into the person. I turn to see who it is and notice its a stranger but I apologise anyway

'It's fine , it's not like you caused any major damage ' she smiles warmly at me.
I find myself smiling back and my chatterbox mouth just had to run itself. ' I'm Nicole Anderson. You must be new here because I haven't seen you before'. Way to go Nikki now she will think you're some psycho who keeps tabs on everybody around here.
'I'm Shontel McLaren and yes I'm new here. Arrived from Ghana yesterday'. She surprisingly doesn't fund anything wrong  with my observation .
My eyes almost pop out of my sockets when I remember her surname 'No effing way.' She looks at me quizucally 'McLaren as in the daughter of the owner of MAC3? ' I can't believe it.
'Yup' she pops the "p".' Now can we please stop talking about my surname?.'

We keep talking and I manage to convince her to attend Hunter High School. I needed a friend that badly. I found myself telling her all about what the mean popular girls do to me in school and how I wish I had at least one friend while she tells me all about her life in Ghana and how she thought she was going to die when her mother called and ask that she returned to join her in California. You can say we had a common denominator there...pain.

SHONTEL'S POV.
Talking to Nicole was really nice and I noticed she was actually very pretty even with the too bright coloured braces on her teeth and too nerdy glasses. I suddenly had an idea. School was not on vacation so naturally we had at only the next day before school on Monday. Don't ask me how my mother did it but she called me 30 minutes after I told her about HHS to tell me I got in the school.
' Nikki can you please take off your glasses?' I asked impromptu and she looked puzzled but I just smile.
' I guess' she hesitantly took it off and handed it to me.
' Do you see clearly without them?' She shakes her head no but I have a nagging feeling she's lying to me so I throw the glasses up in the air, she gasped in shock and caught it squarely in her palm before it landed on the floor.' You lied to me' I say bluntly 'You have an inferiority complex and I bet its because of those girls but don't worry we will deal with that later for now,'... I take her glasses and break it, locking eyes with her as I did so. She gasped and gave me a cold glare. ' You thank me later'.
I grab her hand so we will continue walking but she yanks her hand right out of my grip.' You can't boss me around'. Her eyes start to glisten with  unshed tears.
'I'm not. We are just starting our 2-day makeover for you. I want to walk into HHS on Monday, hand in hand with my best friend and have the while school gasp at how gorgeous she's looking. is that too much to ask for? Because I'm totally from be with how you look except you're not fine with it.' I feel her relax and thank God she understood me.
' So now that phase one is over what is phase two?'.
I almost do a happy somersault but go for a squeal instead.' We are going shopping.' I see her troubled expression% don't worry its on MAC3'

She smile gratefully and we set off to my mom's shop. After all the shopping we got our hair done I curled my glossy black mid-back hair(multimedia) while Nicole, with the advice of the hairstylist cut her waist length red hair to her shoulder and got it into a mass of feiry red curls. My heart sank when I saw all that hair being cut but the overall outcome was stunning. Next we got Mani pedis and facials too.
      I looked at Nikki and couldn't help but grin from ear to ear. I could already see a difference. Next on my makeover agenda was to have her braces removed and her teeth rearranged. Of course all expenses were on mom.
