Changing

Chapter 5-Just us Two

We pulled up to the spa, where I spotted Ashlyn leaning next to the spa door. I smiled, and jumped out the door right when the car stopped. I ran up to her, "What's your plan??" I asked as my mom got out of the car and walked toward us. "This." Ashlyn skipped over to great my mom.

"Hi Mrs.Lee! It's so nice to see you again!!!" She said overly cheery. Mom smiled at her, "Oh Ash! What brings you here?" She asked still smiling. "I was just walking around the block, and I saw you guys come! I was wondering if I could invite Jessica over to my house for the rest of the day. It'll only by for a few hours, considering how late it's gotten." She asked in an angel like voice.

"Oh I'm sorry dear, Jessica and I were having a girls day. You know, giving her a whole new look and all. And Jessica is enjoying it so much, I'd hate to cut it short." She answered with a sad face, she didn't like saying no to children. I frowned, our plan didn't work. Again!

Then mom smiled and took Ashlyn in the hand. "I just had the best idea!!! You could join us! Since it's getting a little dark out, I figured we would only get the first part of the spa and then leave. But now you can come with us! Oh this is just great!" Mom said rushing inside. I looked at Ashlyn, her mouth was hanging open and her eyes were big. Pure look of horror. I suppressed a laugh, then couldn't hold it anymore and burst out laughing.

She gave me a look, "Woooow this is so funny, huh." She said giving me a half smile, she wasn't mad yet. I stopped laughing, "At least we have each other." I said dragging her inside. We walked in it the smell of...flowers...and perfume. Yup, this is the spa. Mom walked over, took our hands, and led us to three chairs with a bowl of sticky stuff next to each one. I raised an eyebrow an sat down.

A pudgy woman walked over, and smeared the goop on the top of my lip, and then inbetween my eye brows. What is she doing???? It smelled like honey, and something else. "What are you-" I was cut of by her yanking the now hard stuff of my lip and eye brow. I squealed and slapped my hand over my mouth. My lip stung, and the center of my eye brow burned. "Owwww." I moaned, still holding my mouth.

Another squel next to me, and I looked over to see Ashlyn holding her mouth as well. The woman came back over and dabbed my mouth and eye brow with a wet cloth, then took my hand and led me to a room. She motioned for me to lay down, and cautiously I did, There I layed down on a table, and she brought over tweezers. WAIT TWEEZERS!?!?!?! "Now honey this won't hurt it bit."

Before I could react she plucked my eye brows, so fast she was done in less than a minute. Now my eyebrows stung even more, THE WOMAN LIES! She placed a wet cloth over my eyes, then made me sit in a chair and put my feet in a tub of water. Another woman walked into the room. She wall tall, thin, and had short curly hair in a bun. In her hands she was carrying something that look like a hair brush. She bent down and started scrubbing my feet, it tickled and hurt. A lot. Why is my mom doing this to me!?!?!

It took five minutes, and then she made me stand up, put on my shoes and socks, and pushed me out the door. I walked over to the counter, now wide awake, to meet Ashlyn. "Did they-" she nodded her head, "Yep." We moaned in sync, and my mom skipped over to us. "I payed for everything, now come on Ashlyn. I'll drive you come." She said steering us out the door.

We both crammed into the car, now there was even less room than before. My phone buzzed and I pulled it out of my pocket, Ashlyn texted me.

Ashlyn: I know I can't see you from the other side of the bag mound, but I know my face AND FEET are bright red

Me: I'm sorry Ash, I didn't mean for that to happen.

Ashlyn: it's fine, I just wanna go home now

Me: same

Ashlyn: I feel bad for the people who like this stuff

Me: Well not too bad, keep in mind those people are bratty

Ashlyn: Lol, tru

The car pulled to a stop, and I heard Ashlyn get out. Once she left mom drove me home. "I don't want you to see yourself until tomorrow. So don't look in any mirrors what so ever. I want it to be a surprise." She sang the last part, and got out of the car. I stumbled into the house, and into the kitchen. Reaching to the other side of the counter I grabbed an apple and shoved it in my mouth, I guess that's my dinner.

I trudged upstairs to my room with a half eaten apple, and flopped on my bed, letting my "dinner" fall to the floor. I could hear mom outside unpacking the car, and cheerfully gossiping to someone on the phone. I didn't feel like getting up, so I'll take a shower in the morning. I snuggled under the covers, still in my sweats, and fell asleep. Tomorrow was school, the first day of school. I was in for a lot of drama, but for now, it was just me and my dreams.

(Authors Note: Hey guys, sorry this book is dragging on so far. BUT I promise it will get better, I just had to describe the stuff that made her change. Anyway, stick around! It's gonna get good :P)
