Hell yeah bitches! Summer time. No more old hags and old farts. Unfortunately, I have to stay with Josh. It's been 2 weeks since school ended. My parents are leaving in 2 days. They said they're going to drive to California or something. I want to go to California. It's like a 20 hour drive from Dallas to San Diego. I don't know if I should change my look before or after I stay with Josh. Surprise him when I get there, or wait and surprise him when school starts? You know what, I'll do it before, which means I need to do it today. "Hey Mom, I'm going out!" I hollered from the kitchen. "Be back by 7!" My mom yelled back. Alright, 7. That gives me 5 hours to buy new clothes, shoes, get contacts, change my hair and makeup. "Alright, I love you! Bye." I grabbed my wallet and car keys and drove off to the mall. A place I have never been to in my entire life. The Mall is gigantic! How am I supposed to find good stores in this place? There's a lot of people here. I looked around and spotted a map. I am apparently near the food court. I need to get to Hollister and Rue 21. A lot of girls from my school get their clothes from there. I stared at the map closely and found it. I walked to Hollister first. As soon as I stepped in, I was greeted by a huge picture of a hot male model with no shirt on, and the smell of cologne and perfume. Everything was giving me a headache, especially the loud music. I pushed up my glasses and glanced around. Their clothes were decent, I couldn't imagine myself in them. Which is why I am going to get them. I picked out a couple of shirts, 3 shorts, 5 skinny jeans, perfume and several dresses. I went to the cashier and bought all my things. This is some expensive shit! Before I left I went to one of the changing room and changed. Onto the next store! I only bought a couple of things from Rue 21. They really need to calm down with the perfume. You asked me if I was ready, I said yes, which means don't bother me with stupid perfume. I said I didn't need it nor do I wanna try it. My headache has grown. This might be one of the reasons why I hate shopping. I decided to go get some water and pizza cause I am starving. I waited in line and it was finally my turn. I ordered and waited again and finally got my food. It wasn't too bad. I threw my trash away and went in search of a shoes store. I found one and man were these shoes expensive. I tried on many, but only bought a few heels and a couple of sandals. My arms were aching from carrying the bags and my legs from walking everywhere. I don't see how girls can do it. I also bought some contacts. Okay, time to leave the mall and go to a salon. I decided to dye my hair brown and then get it curled. Hopefully it'll look good. I stepped inside and saw a bunch of Asian ladies. Although I had no idea what they were saying, they were nice. I told them what I wanted and they started messing with my hair. They also put some makeup on me. 2 hours went by and I was finally finished. I stood up and glanced in the mirror. I liked what I saw, for the first time. Just you wait Josh, I'm coming for you. I thanked the Asian ladies, paid, and left.I can finally get home and rest. By the end of the day I was wearing this: [polyvore]. I loved it so much! I look totally different. You can actually see my eyes now that those ugly glasses were gone. I hope my mom won't freak out... "What have you done with your hair?" My mother questioned. "And where are your glasses?" "Nothing Mom. I still have my glasses with me." I assured her. "You should have told me you were going to do this." She scolded. Blah, blah, blah. I rolled my eyes, "It's okay Mom. Don't get angry. I'm 17, I can do what I want." "I just wish you'd had told me." "Okay well it's too late now." I replied. "Sorry." I walked out of the kitchen and into my room. I set my bags down on my bed and took out all my new clothes. I examined everything and began to fold them up and put them into a suitcase. This is the suitcase I'm taking to stay at Josh's house. I'm really nervous. What if he still thinks I'm an ugly nerd? All of this would have gone to waste. I'd be so pissed at him. I finished putting everything away and laid on my bed. I began to think about when Josh and I first met. He was such a chubby cute boy. Sadly he had no friends. I was his one and only friend, which made me happy. Our parents introduced us. I was really shy at first but came around eventually. We were around 6 years old. We didn't meet until then because before that we lived in Florida. But as soon as we moved back, our moms got in touch and we met. We always hung out together, he used to tell me I was pretty and that he loved me. It was such a happy time. Then around middle school he lost a lot of weight, got more friends, asked girls out, and forgot all about me. He left me alone. That's when I stopped talking to people and everything. Then he started bullying me, but I still liked him, because I remembered the person he used to be.Maybe we could become friends again. It's sad that I have to do this, but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do. Right? I started to doze off and before I knew it, I was fast asleep
