Chapter 2: A Fresh Start

(Star's P.O.V)

The next morning I was awaken by the unwanting sound of music blasting in my ears, leaving me with a pounding headache.

"Ah no! i have a headache..... how wonderful, a morning headache." I muttered to myself as i slowly pulled the duvet off of body, careful not to make any quick movements.

I set my Ipad and headphones on the dresser before taking a glimpse of myself in the mirror. I looked like hell, I was a complete mess. What was once soft, brown curls, is now a tangled-up nest on the top of my head. My pajamas hung loosly on my slender figure and dark spots circled my eyes.

What a great way to start off this weekend (note the sarcasm)

I decided on taking a shower to make myself a bit presentable. "I have been too miserable the past week and I am going to start fresh today, no more moping around." I gave myself a quick pep-talk before entering the bathroom.

Exiting the bathroom, I wrapped my towel firmly around my soaking body feeling like a whole new person. I felt clean, fresh and different. Just what I wanted.

I sat in front of my mirror, trying to figure out on my look for the day. I curled my hair into loose curls and tied it up in a side ponytail. I did my makeup next, keeping it simple, i applied masscara to my lashes, light  shadow to my eye lids and glossed my lips.

My outfit was simple, yet stunning. The outfit consisted of a purple tank top with a white cardigan to complement the soft fabric, dark washed skinny jeans and to top it off was a purple beanie and my ugg boots.

Taking one last look at myself in the mirror, a small smile appeared on my face. I finally looked like a normal sixteen-year-old. I looked amazing!

..

Noticing my entrance to the kitchen, my auntie's jaw dropped to the floor, causing the redness in my cheeks to appear.

"Wow Star you look.. uh.. you look-erm..."

"non-zombie-like?" I interrupted her and she simply smiled before responding.

"No, no.. not at all but I mean ever since you came here a week ago you never looked so happy, and might I add, HOT!!!"

My auntie never seizes to amaze me and I admire her so much for that.

Ella entered the kitchen, raking my body up and down and shock completely took over her features. why does everyone look at me like that when they see me today? 

"Wow Star, you look sexy today!"

"Uhhg why do you guys look at me like that? I mean that's how i usually look" I took a long pause before quietly adding, "since i came her at least." 

"yeah, yeah... what got you in such a good mood this morning anyway?"

"El, I just decided that moping around for a week will not make anything different so I just decided to suck it up and try to make this vacation memorable, since I will be staying here for three months."

"You're right Star, good for you!" and with that both Ella and I exited the kitchen and went to the living room to watch television.

We watched movie after movie on Netflix for about two hours before we both decided on eating breakfast.

It was now 10:30 and we sat at the table for a moment in complete silence until Ella burst out laughing, causing me to laugh as well.

"Whats-laugh-so-laugh-funny?" I asked in between laughs.
