What have I gotten myself into?
~~~~~
I put on the denim button up shirt and add the maroon scarf that Perrie gave me. I keep my black leggings on and pull Eleanor's boots over them. I look at myself through the mirror she has on her closet door and it's cute, but my glasses kind of make it look weird so I take them off. It looks better already but I'm missing something... oh well, maybe the girls will know. I take one final look before I open the door to reveal myself to the girls. As I open the closet door they all look at me smiling.
"Christina you look so pretty." Eleanor says.
"Thanks." I say smiling.
"I have an idea." Perrier says and we all look at her. "Makeover time?" She smiles holding up a black studded bag. They all smile and look at me.
"Oh no."
"Oh yes." They say in unison.
"We have to go soon though."
"Make up will take 10 minutes tops, plus the drive is only 20 minutes away." Eleanor says.
"But with Dani's driving maybe 15." Perrier laughs.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Danielle asks faking an offended face.
"It means that you drive quickly. I wasn't saying anything else." Perrier defends.
"That's what I thought." Danielle stares at Perrie then brings her attention to me. "So can we?"
"Um...." I really don't wear make up.
"Please."
"Okay. But not too much." They all smile and get to work. Eleanor grabs my fingers and picks a red color our of Danielle's box.
"Is it okay if I paint your nails?" Eleanor asks. I nod my head. "This is only for tonight. Were going to get our nails done tomorrow for the party on the Saturday after the next." I nod again and she begins to paint them.
Danielle has gotten a curling wand out and is now curling my hair. More like waves actually but it's nice. As Danielle and Eleanor are busy with my hair and nails, Perrie is working on my make up. She doesn't put on any foundation... or at least I think it's what it's called. Anyways, she skips the foundation since my Olive skin tone doesn't match any of their skin tones... if you mixed them maybe. She instructs me to look up as she applies eyeliner and instructs me to close my eyes as she pulls my eyelids to the edges a little to do a wing I guess. She then applies make up and she has some lipstick but I deny it kindly because I don't want to use other people's lipsticks. I can just use my chapstick. Eleanor has been finished with my nails since she has fast drying nail polish and Danielle is still working on my hair. I say it's been about five minutes and Perrie is now finished with my makeup. She kisses her fingertips like one of those fancy chefs and laugh. They refuse to let me look until Danielle is finished and Perrie asks if I need my glasses.
"No. I mean I do. But I can manage without them." She just nods and watch's Danielle finish the last few strands. Danielle turns off the wand off and tells me to close my eyes and I oblige. Once I'm given the okay I open my eyes and I'm shocked. I look completely different... well not completely. I still look like me. Just a prettier version of me. They grab their bags and Danielle asks if I need one and I decline. I cam just hold my chapstick and phone in my hands. We head downstairs and Danielle tells her mom that we'll be out for a little bit and her mom leaves to go to a room which I guess is her bedroom. We get into the car and make it way out of the neighborhood.
As we drive to the unknown destination, I look outside the window even though it’s dark. We’ve been in the car for about twenty minutes now and I see a big house that seems to be made of red bricks. The lights are on and there are five cars in the driveway and I assume that this is our destination. Danielle pulls into the driveway proving that my assumption was right. She turns the car off and looks to Eleanor a little agitated which is a new sight considering that for the little time I’ve seen Danielle, she was always smiling.
