The New Me

Chapter-6

I was shocked by myself, by what I just did. But to be honest, I'm relieved now. I don't even want to go for that bitch's dinner anymore and I decided that I won't.

After some more time I went to the bathroom to have a bath. I stripped into my undergarments and just then I heard a knock with a soft voice saying,"hey Aira can I please talk to you?" on my door. I wore my bathrobe and stepped outside only to see one of Laura's friends, I did not know her name though.

I said,"if you are hear to tell me that I was wrong and I should go and apologise to Laura then you are certainly wrong. I was not wrong, Laura was and I don't have anything against you and you seem to be pretty sweet so please leave me alone."

She then extended her hand to shake hands and introduced herself as Chloe.

She smiled and hugged me and said,"you are cute."

Well, I did not expect a hug.

Chloe said,"you were absolutely right and Laura was wrong. She is a bitch. I never liked her she is my cousin's bestfriend. She should not have torn your mom's dress and you, well you are amazing. I started loving you from the time you slapped her so fiercely. I think that you are an amazing girl who has been underestimated for a lot of years. So can we please be friends?"

I just stood there staring at Chloe, she seems to be a nice girl and since we both have this mutual hatred toward Laura, I think we can be friends too. So I replied saying that, yes we can be friends with a handshake.

Chloe asked me, weather I was still going for that bitch's dinner or not and I replied with a flat no.

She said,"you should go for the dinner and have fun and show everybody that you have changed, that you are no more the Aira Fernandez who used to stay in that shell."

When she said this I got an idea. I am gonna show everybody the new me from today. I told her that I'm gonna go and have a bath and after that get ready for my darling sister's dinner rehearsal.

She then said," you should break the colour code and wear a different colour as you are gonna break the rules from now on."

I thought that she was right, so I told her to go to the attic and get a blue dress for me. I gave her the details of the dress so that she can find the dress easily without getting confused. Then I went to the bathroom and took a quick shower and washed my hair with the amazing rose scented shampoo. I wrapped a towel around my body and stared at myself through the mirror. I was so stupid to hide my amazing body for so many years. I had long legs with high cheek bones and pink lips and long luscious golden hair.

Then I went outside and dried my hair. Then Chloe entered the room with the right dress in her hand. The dress was blue in colour. It had a sweetheart neck and a little bow at the back. I remember mom wearing it for an award show, it fell till her knees but because I was taller than her it fell slightly above my knees and just below my upper thigh. I had beautiful silver heals which would look amazing with that dress. Chloe said that she is gonna do my hair and makeup. I was a little scared because I never put a lot of makeup or did a hairdo or something. But she assured me that she will do a wonderful job.

Then she started with my hair. She dried them and gave me a side swept curled look from the top and softly curled the rest of my hair. She put a cute little silver Barrett below the swept curls. She then started with my makeup. She put compact and a light pink blush which gave colour to my pale skin. She then put black winged eyeliner and pink gloss. Then Chloe gave me small silver clutch. After this I was ready to go when I heard a knock on my door.
