"So," i stop what im doing to look for the voice, "You and Taehyung?" I see Charlie eyeing me curiously. Shaking my head i look back down, "I thought he was dating Jessica."

"So did we," She clears her throat, "But after what happened at lunch it became clear that he isn't into her." I can't help smiling to myself.

"So," she smiles at Jungkook, "we're setting him up with my Kook's sister." I roll my eyes and look down at my paper.

They're reluctant.

"You should go with us to the mall sometime," She actually smiles at me, "If you're going to be hanging with us you'll need a better style."

I nearly choke on my own saliva, "What did you say?" "Well," she scoots closer to me, "Since Taehyung seems to follow where ever you go. We figured that you can hang with us so he does."

I can't help laughing, not caring that I'm in 7th hour, surrounded by people that used to hate me, "You guys are out of your minds."

"Great! We'll go this friday," she smiles still, making me feel weird, "And don't worry. Ill pay for you."

I get to pick the design so i guess their not bad- but i wish they were shorter! How am i supposed to do anything with these??

"Those are stunning!" Charlie looks at them gasping, "I'll have to get this design when i get tired of these." She giggles as the lady paints our toenails.

I get a light purple to match my fingernails and i have to admit-

It feels nice to be girly at times.

Next they drag me to Sophora- which gives me anxiety because I've never worn makeup before.

We spend a few hours there alone as they teach me how to apply makeup because, "We can't have an ugly at our lunch table."

I ignore the comment and try my best, slowly turning into a pro at applying makeup. "Fast learner." Jessica scoffs, obviously still upset at me-
