Chapter 2

(Y/N)'s POV

    I woke up the next morning to Peggy jumping on my bed.
    "GET UP RIGHT NOW!!!! WE'VE GOT STUFF TO DO AND ALL BEFORE 9 AM!!!" Peggy yelled'. I groaned in annoyance. I checked my phone. 4:00 AM. What the actual heck.
    "Peggy," I stated. Peggy stopped jumping and looked at me. "What in this great big world made you wake me up at 4 AM?" I asked. She smiled and jumped to the floor.
    "I looked through your clothes and noticed that you didn't have any! So I booked a bunch of appointments that we need to get too! So get up!" Peggy exclaimed. I was surprised but obeyed.
    "What appointments did you make?" I asked. She looked at me while she got her shoes on.
    "We have a waxing appointment at European Wax Center, hair cut and color appointment at Elegant Image Salon, fitting appointment at Victoria's Secret, and a shopping spree at Forever 21!" My mouth was wide open.
    "Peggy I don't have any money to pay for that!" I said. Peggy laughed.
    "I'm paying for it silly!" Peggy said. I was in shock.
    "No, Peggy. I can't let you do that! That would be way too much money!" I said. Peggy laughed once more.
    "Remember what I said about being the youngest? I get whatever I ask for. And this amount of money is like pennies to my father." Peggy insisted. I sighed, knowing that I wouldn't be able to change her mind. I put on the outfit I had and walked out with Peggy to the front of the school. There was a car waiting for us in front. Peggy and I climbed into the back seat.
    "Did you get my father's credit card?" Peggy asked the driver. The driver then went into the glove compartment and pulled out an American Express Black Card. I looked at the card in awe.
    "I usually help my dad get over his $10,000 minimum. That's why he lets me use the card." Peggy explained. I thanked her for everything she was doing for me. She smiled, said it was no problem, then told the driver our destinations. The first was our waxing appointment.
    "What am I getting waxed?" I asked Peggy.
    "Eyebrows, upper lip, and armpits," Peggy answered. "The basic stuff." I nodded and got ready for the immense amounts of pain I was going to feel.

~•~

    I rubbed my armpits in pain.
    "That really hurt! Why do girls have to do that?!" I asked Peggy. She giggled and shrugged.
    "Beauty standards that the world puts on us." She answers. Peggy then told the driver that we had an appointment at Elegant Image Salon. The driver nodded and started to drive us there. I looked at Peggy.
    "What are we doing there?" I questioned.
    "Getting your hair washed, cut, and colored," She said. "Actually, what color do you want your hair to be?"
    "Umm... I only want the ends dyed but surprise me with the color." I answered. Peggy's smiled widened.
    "You're gonna look great!" Peggy exclaimed as we made it to the salon.

~•~

    Finally, my hair was done. I checked my phone. 6:15 AM. The hair stylist turned me toward the mirror. My hair went down to a few inches past my shoulders. It was wavy and I now had bangs over my left eye. I looked at the ends of my hair. They were a light-dark ombré blue. My hair looked beautiful. I thanked the hair stylist, got up, and hugged Peggy.
    "Peggy I look beautiful! Thank you so much!" I exclaimed. Peggy hugged back.
    "It's no problem, really. Anyway, we're still not finished!" Peggy said as she paid the salon and brought me back to the car.
    "To Victoria's Secret!" Peggy said. The driver nodded and started to drive. Isn't that an underwear/lingerie store? I thought. Oh, God...

~•~

    We left the store with 5 bras, one of which I was wearing, and 10 pairs of underwear, also wearing one of those. I was a little embarrassed at the store and I was a little uneasy about some of the purchases that Peggy made.
    "Thank God that's over." I sighed. Peggy laughed.
    "Yeah, it can be a little weird at first, but you'll get used to wearing them. It makes a girl feel special." Peggy smirked. I flushed and asked to change the subject. Peggy laughed and agreed to stop talking about.
    "So where to next?" I asked.
    "Let us go to Forever 21!" Peggy commanded. The car started to move as the driver put in the destination.
