"Don't cry Brooklyn, its not worth it." Paula said as she patted my back "They aren't worth it."
"I always thought that if Axel would see how Victoria treated me, he might stand up for me or at least say something but he did nothing. He just stood there and watched as Victoria insulted his so called best friend." I said in between sobs.
"Don't let that hag get to you. She's just jealous. She saw how beautiful you looked and she saw how Axel was staring at you."
"Me? Beautiful? Yeah, right. Victoria is right, I'm fat, and ugly. Why would any guy like me?!" I said as I ate another spoonful of Ben and Jerry's Coffee Ice-cream.
"What you need is a makeover! A brand new you!" Paula said as she took the bowl and spoon from my hand.
"Yes. Whatever it takes. I want to look skinny just like you and Victoria." I said "I'll do anything!"
"Brooklyn, your going to have to put a lots of dedication and cut down on what you eat. I can tell you from my own experience it won't be east at first but you'll get used to it."
"I'll do it! I just want to show these people that I can beautiful."
"Brooklyn, you have nothing to prove to them. You are beautiful, and if you are doing this its for YOURSELF and no one else. If not you are doing it for the wrong reasons. You get me?" Paula said as she slipped on her purple nightgown. I was doing this for myself but I also wanted to show to them how I wouldn't be the same Brooklyn they tease. I would be different.
"I get you. So when do we start?"
"School's almost over, right?"
"Uh huh?"
"So I'm thinking we take a little vacation before school ends, by which I mean we leave tomorrow. There we will begin your whole new make over."
"Only one problem..."
"What?"
"I can't pay for a ticket to Miami, and pay for a hotel and other stuff." I sheepishly said.
"Brooklyn, did you not hear me earlier when I said my parents are like filthy rich. I can pay for everything, consider yourself my guest of honor." she smiled "By the way I suggest you start packing. I'll call Marvin to bring me my stuff."
"Marvin?"
"Yeah, he'll bring me my carry-on and my credit cards and stuff. I'll buy new stuff in Miami, I just need some basics." she said as she started dialing on her iPhone "I'll ask him to bring me some of my old stuff too so that you can use them if you want."
"Thanks." I said as I pulled my luggage from under my bed. Tomorrow was going to be a long day..

"Wake up sleepyhead!!" Paula said as she threw a pillow at me "We need to get to the airport."
"Mmmm. 5 more minutes mom." I murmured.
"Mom?!?! Brooklyn I am not your mom, I am not that old. You dare call me old once more and I will stab you with a spork!"
"Whatever Paula." I said as I walked towards the bathroom. Starting today my life was going to change for good.
"Hey, should I wear my silver wedges or my blue converse?" Paula said as she finished placing on her white skinny jeans.
"Silver wedges." I slipped on one of the red sundresses Paula had given me yesterday and finished curling my hair.
"Vamonos!" Paula said as she placed her blue purse on and started dragging her Louis Vuitton carry-on.

"In a short moment we will begin descending to reach our destination. Please take your seats and make sure all personal belongings are secured." the flight attendant said through the speakers. Finally, my butt was aching from being seated for such a long time. Paula had fallen asleep as soon as she got on the plane. Unfortunately I can never fall asleep on planes. I couldn't wait to get off, and finally get away from that little three year old girl that wouldn't stop kicking my seat the WHOLE ENTIRE flight.
"Paula, wake up!" I said as I shook her softly.
"What!!" she said as she almost scratched me.
"Careful."
"Oh, sorry. I just have mad ninja skills. So what did you want?" she smiled.
"We about to land."
"Kay." she said as she buckled her seatbelt and turned off her iPhone.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, we have reached our destination. Please make sure all belongings are secure and haven't shifted during the flight." the flight attendant smiled. Miami here I come!!

Okay so I just wanted to clarify that yes Brooklyn will lose some weight and well people will notice her but the story doesn't end there. I can't say what will happen, cause well then I ruin the story but I'm just letting you know that this story won't be like "Oh she loses weight and every guy wants her and she lives a perfect life never having to worry about her weight again." Let's just say Brooklyn might be um.. a bit traumatized from being called fat so many times.
Comment & Vote <3 It means a lot
PS: I can't believe school is almost starting -.- So what are your new school year resolutions? What are you planning on achieving or doing?
