Changing

Chapter 3- Shoved

I spent hours in that car, and counted every second. Literally, I did. I was there for exactly four hours, thirty eight minutes, and fifty two seconds. That was when I saw my mom heading back to the car, with only one shopping cart half full. I smiled, at least she didn't go over board. As she got closer I saw five people following her with carts filled to the brim with clothes of all kind. My smile dropped, as I saw they were all following her.

I rolled up the window, and sat back down. I heard the trunk being opened, and after a minute of shuffling it closed and my door opened. I was shoved to the other side of the car, with shopping bags taking my old seat.

I uselessly tried to get comfortable but end up in a worse position anyway. I watched as the passenger seat was stuffed with shopping bags, and my mother sitting down while smiling. "Those store workers are so nice for helping me carry these clothes." She said grabbing her keys and turned on the car.

"Now honey, I don't want yo to see what I bought yet. We still have to go to the spa, get your hair done, and then get a mani pedi! Oh my gosh you will be so-" UGH!!! If she talks about something that girly one more time I'm gonna scream! It's not that I'm not girly or anything, I just hate makeup, and nails, and stuff.

It's not my thing, I prefer natural over fake, that's not bad is it??? I'm still a girl here! Not every girl has to use that stuff. And i don't care what I look like, I'll wear sneakers with sweat pants and a hoodie any day. Anyway, back to reality. I stared at the window, watching the mall fade away. I need some help...but Eve is busy at a retirement home volunteering. Oh! Ashlyn came back from California today, she can help me. I thought pulling out my phone.

Me: Ash I have a problem

Ashlyn: What's wrong??

Me: I just got a whole new wardrobe and I'm going to go get my hair done! AND GO TO A SPA! My mom wants to completely change me!!!!

Ashlyn: Haha

Me:Aaaash

Ashlyn: I mean wow, ur in deal trouble

Me: I need ur help

Ashlyn: Alright, alright. I'll meet you at the spa, after your hair deal. I'll try and make things right

I smiled nervously at my phone, and looked out the window. The car had stopped, and we were in front of Kelly's Salon. I opened the door and closed it quickly to stop bags from falling out. I walked inside where the smell of chemicals, perfume, and burnt hair hit me. I scanned to room to see my mom talking quietly to a lady. She was short, had red curly hair, freckles, and a smock covering her jeans, heels, and t-shirt.

Mom walked over to me with a smile, "You're all ready! I just spoke with Jean and we picked out the perfect style for your new look." I don't want a new look!! She ushered me over to the woman. The woman, who I assumed was Jean, sat me down in the chair and started pulling and tugging at my hair. I held back a moan, this day just keeps getting longer and longer.
