Today's the day I go to the mall with Sam. He didn't really mention anything over text last night, he just told me to dress normally and keep everything the same except I have to keep my hair down. So I got up and had 1 hour until Sam picked me up. I figured I would get my hair washed before it would get dyed so I didn't go in the shower. Instead, I pulled on a black tank top and some black skinny jeans. Then I pulled on some dark blue Dr Martins and grabbed my black purse.
After an hour, Sam knocked on the door and my mum answered it. I could hear them talking but I couldn't make out any words they were saying. As I made my way down the stairs, I slowly walked around the corner to see my mum at the front door.
"Sam, you're here." I said walking past my mum and dragging Sam along. I knew she would start nagging me about stupid stuff like 'don't shoplift' or 'don't do anything stupid' or worst of all 'you kiss that boy and you're dead missy'. Of course, because I'm going to go round the shops shoplifting whilst doing stupid things and kissing Sam. Note the huge sarcasm there.
"Hold on. Don't shoplift and don't do anything stupid. And you know the third one." My mum said. What did I tell you?
"Yes yes yes mum. I won't shoplift and the other things. Okay bye." I said as I grabbed Sam and dragged him to his car quickly pulling him in and making him drive off. He asked me what the third point was. I looked a bit confused until I finally got it.
"It's nothing. Really" I said. He nodded.
When we arrived at the mall, we got out and Sam lead the way towards Tan 'n' Glow. What were we doing here?
"Don't worry. We're making you a whole new person, change your skin colour, hair, clothes, accessories and we can even get you some new make up and some contact lenses that are coloured, because I know you wear glasses." He said whilst I blushed and nodded. I picked out a nice colour a few shades darker than mine and hopped into a tanning booth. I was getting a permanent tan, which meant it wouldn't come off no matter what.

After we had got my permanent tan and got my hair blonde and layered, we headed to some shops. I got a whole new wardrobe and some new shoes. I'm deciding to keep my Dr Martins though, they go with a few outfits. I also got new makeup including some foundation, eyeliner, lip liner, mascara, lip stick, blusher and eye shadow. And don't forget, I got some blue contact lenses. Then I got some necklaces/chokers and some hoop/stud earrings. I got a range of new bags and I couldn't believe how much Sam had got me. I couldn't thank him enough.
"So, how about we dump the shopping bags in the car and head over to McDonalds?" Sam asked. I agreed and we made our way to the car. We opened the back door and shoved the shopping bags in the back and then got in the front. As Sam was driving to McDonalds, I needed to say this.
"Sam?"
"Yup"
"One - the least I can do for you because you spent all this money on me is treat you to McDonalds. And two - thank you so much for all this. It means a lot." I said whilst Sam pulled up to the drive-thru. He ordered and then spoke to me.
"One - okay. And two - it's no bother, I just want to get revenge on Summer." He said as he thanked the lady, handed over the money and grabbed the food.
