     I, the person who had perfect attendence over the last 3 years, decided to skip school for the rest of the week. I even stayed cooped up in my room through the weekend.

I cried until I had no tears left, I ate at least 3 tubs of ice cream myself and watched many horror movies. Yes, horror movies because there was no way in hell I was going to watch romantic movies to feel worse.

Joey and Adriana didn't even both checking up on me or even message. I don't think I had felt more lonely in my whole life.

It was unfortunately Monday. I sat in bed, planning to skip today as well when Ronnie burst through my door.

"Get your ass up Yaya" she said, sitting on my bed and shaking me awake.

"No. Get out of my room," I grab a pillow and hit her in the face.

"I don't think so," she said pulling away my blanket.

"Ronnie please. I'm not ready for the world yet."

"Jeez you're dramatic. But Seriously, Yaya, you need to own this. If you're gonna wait until you're ready then you're gonna be here your whole life. It's gonna hurt of course but you need to show everyone who you really are. Show them that just because you fell down once doesn't mean you're not gonna wake up again. "

"Other than the fact that you still call me Yaya... You're pretty mature Ronnie," I say taking her hand in mine. "Mum and Dad would have been very proud."

We stayed there for a moment, tears filled in our eyes yet a smile on our faces. My first smile in a whole week.

"Come on now. Go and bath, and when you're out I'm giving you a make over," Veronica says with an evil smile plastered to her face.

"A make over? Why?"

"Because we need to show JD who the fuck Freya Rodriguez is," she winks at me before leaving my room. "Oh and shave your legs!" she yells to me.

When I come out from my shower, my bed is occupied with Veronica's things.

She picked out my new set of clothes even after me explaining how 'not me' everything is. After that she did my make up, inserted my contacts and curled my hair.

"Now that is Freya Rodriguez," Veronica says finally bringing me to a full mirror to see myself.

I almost couldn't recognize myself.

Veronica had chosen a bright candy red leather mini skirt and an off-the-shoulder white shirt which fitted a little tight over my breasts since they did belong to Veronica after all.

She gave me my mother's red ankle tie heels to wear. I always loved that shoe but my mother gave to Veronica because she had cried for it when she was only 8.

She put on natural make up for me because I was complaining, but she forced me to put on a shade of lipstick that matched my skirt.

I won't lie, I looked amazing. And to think my smaller sister did all this. I'm pretty sure it was meant to be the other way around.

"Thank you Ronnie. I love it," I hug her.

"You have no idea how long I waited to do this," she says waving her hand to my clothes. "By the way, we're going shopping after school. We need to get you a new wardrobe ASAP."

"Girls? Are url rea-" Samuel walks in, freezing as he sees me. "Holy shit."

Veronica and I laugh before I spin around for him to have a look.

"What do you think, Sam?" I ask.

"You look amazing Frey. Wow." he looked at me still shocked.

"Group hug," Veronica says and we all comply.

"Okay come on now. You both are going to be late," Sam says.

"Well obviously otherwise you couldn't have said that you are fashionably late," Veronica says making us laugh.

We reach school 5 minutes before first period.

I can do this. I chant in my head as I jump off from my brother's car.

Eyes already start turning and we were only in the car park.

I hated the attention but what I did like was that everyone was going to see that I made a comeback.

Veronica and I smile at each other before we walk into the school, making sure to sway our hips from side to side.

You know that moment when all the superheroes team up and as they walk to their enemy it's in slow motion, the wind blowing in their favor and just feeling superior for that one moment? 'cause that's exactly how I was feeling walking through the hallway.

Everyone went silent and their eyes shot to me.

The best reaction came from Joey and Adriana. Joey was staring with his mouth open, causing Adriana to hit him in the chest and give me an envious stare.

"You're killing it Yaya," Veronica whispers to me.

"Thank you again, Ronnie. I really needed this," I give her quick hug before we split ways.

I made my way to English which was my first period.

Everyone was still staring at me.

"Are you new here, miss?" the English teacher Mrs Smith asks.

"Uh," I look behind me to see if she was talking to someone else, but no just me. "It's Freya ma'am. Freya Rodriguez."

"Ooh I'm sorry Freya. I didn't recognize you." that could either mean I was looking good or she was just blind as a bat 'cause she was like sixty-years old.

"It's the new and improved version ma'am," I tell her but mainly to the rest of the class which consisted of Adriana and Joey.

I sat in the back of class, ignoring Adriana and Joey, and the fact that Zekiel wasn't in class today. Why the hell was I looking for him anyway?

"Wow Freya. I love those shoes," Cecilia who was on the left of me says. Cecilia was the main bitch of Bentley High.

The only time we had ever spoke was in the 8th grade when she and her group of minions bullied me because of my glasses. I hated her frankly.

"Thank you Cecilia," I say anyway, flipping my hair over my shoulder.

"Adriana is such a bitch for what she did to you. Come sit with us at lunch?" Cecilia asks.

Adriana always wanted to be a part of the bitch squad. She would be so mad if she knew I was handed this offer by the queen b.

"I'd love to," we share a smile before paying attention to Mrs Smith go over Pride and Prejudice with us.
