Zora's POV

      I walk as fast as I can back to the house even though I'm extremely dreading what's to come when I get inside. My heart is racing in my chest as I try to wrap my head around the moment I just shared with Kid. Our lips were only moments apart until Soul ruined it all. I mentally scold him. All I wanna do is go back there and finish that kiss.  

"ZORA!!!" Josie squeals interrupting my thoughts. I groan with dread and run inside before Josey comes out to drag me by my hair. The house is shaking from the music, the squeals, and the laughter. While the actual makeover part isn't gonna be fun, I truly do enjoy hanging out with the girls. I can't help but wonder if I would've done makeovers like this with my sister when she got older. Before I even take one step into the room, Josie me by the wrist, yanking me into what looks like the backstage of a runway show exploded in our room. Multiple brushes, irons, sponges, and bottles of all different shapes, sizes, and colors were spread all over the beds and the counters. They all looked like medieval torture devices to me.

"Are you ready to be made over, Zora?" Josie imitates a fashion designer. I roll my eyes at her goofiness. "We have to make sure you're a knockout for Kid tonight,"  My face became a dark shade of red thinking about our almost kiss on the beach. If I told the girls, they would die on the spot. Josie sits me down on a spinning stool. All of the girls are holding different styling tools. Josie has a sponge and a bottle of pale liquid in her hands, squirting the liquid onto the sponge. She has an evil look in her eye. Tsubaki has a brush, comb, and a metal rod in her hands trying to smile sympathetically, knowing I hate this. Patty has a box of different pins and clips and as she jumps up and down with excitement, the pins bounce out of the box, some hitting the floor. Liz has a bag full of different shades of powders and brushes of all sizes and shapes. Maka is over by the bed setting out the scandalous dress they had picked out for me on the shopping trip we all went on. They begin and I feel like I'm in a girly tornado. 

*LE TIME SKIP BROUGHT TO YOU BY LORD DEATHS OBNOXIOUS GLOVES*

      After what seems like a lifetime of beauty torture, the girls step back to admire their work, like an artist does with their latest painting. Maka holds up a mirror in front of my face. I'm shocked when I see myself because I actually look like me. Not some made-up glamour model like Josie has made me look like in the past. They accented my features just enough without going overboard. Josie comes from behind me and rests her hands on my shoulders. Her face leans toward my ear as she smiles at me. 

"You look beautiful, Z." She assures me. 

"Thank you. All of you. I love it." I state as I hug them all.

 "Now," Liz states. "get dressed or we are going to be late." She leaves the room along with the other girls, except for Josie, so they can go get themselves dressed. I take one last look at myself in the mirror and head to the bed where my clothes have been neatly laid out. I lift my smock over my head carefully so I don't mess up my hair. I let my clothes drop to the floor. The evening sun streams in from the window warming my skin. The dress the girls picked out is a dark red cocktail dress that hugs the few curves that I do have. The smooth fabric clings to every part of my body. The black heels with the spikes on them are something I picked out. Josie finishes changing and pulls me over to the mirror. 

"We look amazing!" She cheers. "Can I ask you something?" 

"Of course, Josie. " She takes my hands in hers and gets all serious.

"Do you have feelings for Kid?" I'm shocked by her question but I nod hesitantly. "Then you need to go for it. I see how happy he makes you and how happy you make him. Don't let it slip away." Before I can respond, I hear a light knock and then a door creaking open. I whip my head around to see Liz standing in the doorway all dressed up.
