Love Caught Fire (One Direction Fanfiction)

48++No Longer Friends

Alyson's POV

After hours of deciding what shade of brown to dye my hair, we finally decided on brown. The tips of my hair would be a slightly lighter color of brown and I was so anxious to see the results. Unfortunately, the girls wouldn't let me see my hair until my full makeover was finished.

"Guys, maybe I should just dye it back to red." I said, beginning to walk back to the hair salon.

"No way!" Leigh-Anne grabbed my wrist and pulling my back over. "You look hot and more grown up. Niall's going to love it."

"And what if he doesn't?" I panicked.

"Looks shouldn't matter anyways." Jesy butted in. "Now come on! We've got loads of shopping to do."

"We need to turn your innocent girly wardrobe into a hipster grunge wardrobe." Perrie said and grabbed my hand, pulling me into Forever 21.

"I love this store!" I pulled my hand free of Perrie's so I could clap with excitement.

"We're not here to shop for your type of clothing, Aly. We're here to shop for something that's more our style." Leigh said. "That's what you wanted, right? To look more like us?"

I bit my lip and nodded. "Wait here." Jade said to me and the four girls ran off around the store.

I saw the racks from a distance that they were raiding. The jeans were black and ripped, the shirts were plain and cropped, the jackets were either plaid or leather, and the shoes were big and studded. 

What have I gotten myself into?

"Alright, now that we've found your grunge style, we need to find the other half of your clothing which will be fun but mature." Leigh-Anne explained after we paid for all the clothes they had picked out for me.

"In other words, she means your original style, but more sexy and grown up." Perrie said.

"Can't we just go with that style and take back all of these ghetto-style clothes?" I asked and they all shook their heads.

"Is Niall even going to like this style?" I held up black aztec print muscle shirt.

"What boy wouldn't like this style?" Jesy said and we strolled into Charlotte Russe. Once again, I wasn't allowed to scan the racks for anything. The girls demanded that they do it for me.

It took me over three hours to try on everything and make sure it all fit me well. Jade took out her phone and said we were going to casually send a picture of me to Niall. I was anxious to see how he'd react to my new look. More-so my new hair.

"Make it look like you're doing something fun. Don't actually pose. We need to make this look casual and act as if we're having loads of fun." Jade instructed.

"But we are having loads of fun." Perrie said.

"Then this should be easy." Jade said and held up her phone to take a picture of me.

"Um...Perrie! Do something funny to get Aly laughing." Jesy yelled to Perrie.

"Okay, em..." Perrie looked around the store for inspiration and found a brown stuffed animal bear. She picked it up and began singing Little Mix's song Mr. Loverboy to the bear.

"I can't lie. Yeah, you had me at hello and it's something you should know, baby." Perrie sang while dancing with the bear.

I giggled and snatched it from her. "How could you do this to me? I thought we had something!" I snapped at the bear, making all of the girls laugh. "Frankfort, we are done! D-O-N-E done!"
