Sam dropped me back off at home and came in the house with me so he could help me for tomorrow. I grabbed my McDonalds and all my shopping bags and opened the front door, walking in to see my mum sitting on the couch.
"What are all those shopping bags for? And your hair, it's been changed!" she asked. Shit. I hadn't told her what i was planning to do.
"I was thinking i could have a bit of a change, if that's okay with you," I said, twiddling my thumbs.
"Of course it's okay honey, i just wished you told me before so that i would have been aware," She said as she got up and gave me a hug. I said thanks to her and headed upstairs to my room with Sam.
"So, outfit choice for tomorrow. What are we going for?" Sam asks. I look at him with wide eyes and stare at all the clothes laid out on my bed. I can't possibly choose.
"How about this?" I ask Sam as i hold up a pair of black ripped jeans and a pink crop top.
"Too basic, too common. Especially for the first day in which you've made a change," Sam said and waved his hand for me to put the outfit down.
About 5 outfit picks later, i pick up a royal blue Ted Baker dress. Not too long, not too short. It was tight but not clingy. In other words, it was perfect.
"How about this?" I ask Sam. His eyes light up.
"Yes. You'd look stunning in that Alexis," Sam says as he looks at the dress. "Go and put it on!"
I shuffle into my bathroom and put on the dress, slipping some silver heels on with it. I open the door and step out.
Sam looks shocked. I give him a twirl and a smile.
"What do you think?" I ask.
"You do look stunning, it looks so good on you. You'll have all of the boys around you tomorrow." he says. I blush and thank him for everything he bought me. After Sam leaves, i take off my dress and place it carefully on a hanger in my wardrobe.
I flop on my bed and look up at the ceiling for a while. I was excited for what Finville High had for me tomorrow, as long as they didn't dig deep enough on me, god knows what could happen if they did. Tomorrow will be interesting.
*The Next Day*
I walk into the school corridor. Everyone seems to be looking. I was wearing my royal blue dress with the silver heels, plus a Jimmy Choo purse and some hoop earrings. I was way too overdressed for school.
As i walk down the corridor, i hear a couple of whistles. Turning to my locker, i feel someone come up next to me. Ryan.
"You must be new. Hi, i'm Ryan, and you are?" He says to me, smiling and leaning against the locker.
"Actually, ive been attending the same amount of time you have. You just haven't paid attention to me until now. But hi, i'm Alexis, in your math class. Nice to speak to you finally," I say. He looks astounded.
"Well, you sure do look different. In a good way of course. You do look beautiful. Why don't you sit with us for lunch?" Ryan asks, closing the gap between us. I whisper in his ear, "maybe i will." and shut my locker to walk away.
I smile as i hear Ryan speaking to Luke, another popular. Something along the lines of "looking hot". Maybe this change was for the better.
