Changes

Well it's half six in the morning my mom forced me to wake up just so she could give me this stupid makeover I begged her to let me sleep for half a hour but she shot me the Layla-You-Lazy-Fat-Bitch look.

I sit down on a chair in front of a mirror and watch my mom comb my light brown hair.She combs it into two French braids at the side of my head and then takes out her makeup kit.

This is where I groan and beg her to stop with the tourture but she just pretends she doesn't hear.

I close my eyes as she puts dots of foundation on my upper lip nose forehead and both sides of my cheeks and then she gets some big ass fluffy brush thingy and starts blending the foundation into my light sand brown skin.The foundation makes me look flawless it covers the scars caused from
the scratches.

My mom looks in her makeup bag for a eyeshadow a light beige color and then grabs another brush from a pot and colors my eyelids in with it she blends it in with another color. To clean up the eyeshadow from the corner she applies some concealer and blends it in and then she blends it in with the foundation making my eyeshadow slay. After that she gets the eyeliner and then does the cat eye eyeliner style on me.

She puts mascara on my eyelashes and then she grabs yet again another brush and puts concealer below my eyes then does my highlighter and then puts on her fave Kylie Jenner lip shade on me ( poise k ). And then last but not least she draws a thin steep arch eyebrow with a brown eyeliner pen thing.

"Layla look at you you look beautiful!"
I look in the mirror my hair is pinned down so neatly and my makeup on fleek.

I don't look the same anymore.

When I look into the mirror I see a beautiful flawless girl who looks confident and strong.

Then braking the silence my mom says "Hold on.....I got you a present" and then she walks up to her wardrobe and grabs a present covered in pink shiny wrapping.

I look at her confused as she hands me the present and then I decide to open it. I rip apart the shiny pink wrapping reveling a box for a phone?

My face lights up and I'm about to cry tears of happiness. The brand new iPhone 7 box I rip apart the box and see a rose gold iPhone 7.

"Oh my god mom! Thank you so so so much" I scream

"I figured out that you had Kylie's number and everything and I didn't want to see you upset so I brought you a new phone with a new SIM card.....this is a new start and you can't start a new chapter in your life if you keep re-reading the first one."

I smile at my mom and hug her so tight. "I love you" I whisper.

She pulls me apart from her and tells me to get dressed and she will have someone drive me to school and pick me up. I smile.

Maybe America won't be that bad after all.

I get dressed for school and then I'm downstairs at half seven.

For breakfast I eat toast and I try so hard to make sure that my lipstick doesn't come of I keep my makeup today and my mom sprays some setting spray and hairspray on me. She also gives me a new lipgloss and tells me to put it on on top of my lipstick comes of.

My mom tells me that I'm the weekend we will go laptop shopping and get some new clothes from the mall and get me makeup so I never run out she says she expects me me to make a effort with my looks and I promise her I will.

She tells me that I should have Snapchat and Instagram and other social media ( god she's spoiling me )
to keep up with school shit and all that.
