Mae's POV

its the first day of 7th grade. Mom stacy and i were at the mall all day yesterday picking out the most perfect back to school outfits. I'm wearing a flannel tunic with some black leggings and my favorite chuck taylors.

My mom was in my room with me helping me get ready

"I think this should be the year you should start wearing make up." she says to me then smiles.

Her gorgeous smile radiating back at me.

Stacy looks so much like her, they both have the same warm smile.

"Mom, you know i don't know how to do my make up"

"Well tonight after you get home from school ill teach you, but this morning I'll do it for you just because its your first day."

Thats how mom usually is, she always ends things in an empty promise, she helps us on the first day of school and then lets us run wild.

After skillful make up application by my mother i look in the mirror and ALMOST don't recognize myself. My green eyes were more intense because mom paired an golden shadow on my lid. My skin tone was flawless, and i had nice rosey cheeks and a nice lip gloss on my lips.

She then was curling my hair and said "mae, will you make me a promise"

"Sure mom what is it?"

"Will you promise never to cut your hair? Its so gorgeous with the ribbons of natural high lights going through it, it is your best feature."

"I promise mom ill never cut it."

"Good baby, mae, i know that it might seem like your sister and i are closer but i really am proud of you, she just got more of my spunk."

"I understand mom"

"Im finished with your hair."

I then look in the mirror and am so impressed with my locks, i think 7th grade is going to be my year, 7th grade is when stacy started doing make up and she has been nothing but popular sense.

"I love it mom! Thank you"

Then stacy walked in, her dark hair pin straight, she is wearing a green crop top with some low rise jeans so her belly button ring was hanging out. Mom and her had matching ones.

"Now stace, don't you want to leave the boys some kind of mystery?"

"I'm not nancy drew, besides i want to brag about my cool mom and i getting matching belly rings in the summer"

"Okay ill allow it but if i have to come bring you another shirt I'm going to bring dads cape cod shirt you both make fun of"

"Trust me mother, I'm stacy foster i get to do whatever i want"

"Someone is fool of themselves" mom says Then rolls her eyes
