School just ended. In the Hallway...(Anastasia's
View)

"Wanna come over to my house to have lunch?" I asked my best friend,Shaunee. Shaunee was standing in front of her locker's mirror,touching up on her makeup. She spun around,wagged a finger at me before putting both hands on her hips and throw me a disgusted look.

"Anastasia my darling,have you ever heard of makeups and boyfriends?" Shaunee gestured at my whole body. "If you don't get a makeover, you are never gonna get a boyfriend."

"I don't need one."

Shaunee rolled her eyes. "What you do is invite girls to your house to eat and watch television for the whole day. What I do is go shopping with my boyfriend,watch movies with my boyfriend,eat with my boyfriend and do lots of other stuff with my boyfriend. Girl,you are leading a boring life,so wasted. You have to change this."

I hate it when she is right. Indeed,I feel that my life is kind of boring. I too,want to change my life and live in a better one. But how? Probably is like what Shaunee has said,get a boyfriend and my whole dang life will become much more exciting. The first guy that reaches my mind is Erik. Erik is the most popular guy in school. He is handsome,tall,smart and nice. First time I saw him I have already fell for him. His striking blue eyes are magnificent. Whenever those blue eyes laid on me,i would feel a shiver through my whole body and my knees would start becoming jelly. His brown hair is usually spiked up with gel,making him have a cool look. Even if I confessed to him,I am sure he would not give a damn about me. I am a girl who isn't really considered pretty,my muddy brown hair are always tangled and messy,I never wore pretty dresses or skirts,only pants or shorts. Plus, there is a lot of girls who likes Erik and I will never be in Erik's 'consider-as-girlfriend' list. There are girls out there who are much prettier than me and have an awesome figure.

"By the way,I cancelled my date with Damien just for you so you better make good use of my time. Come on,no time to waste,chop chop" Shaunee dumped her lipstick into her designer handbag,grabbed me by the wrist and pulled me out of school and into a taxi.

"May I know what the hell are you doing? Kidnapping me in daylight using a taxi?"

Shaunee looked at me as if telling me through eye contact saying," Idiot"

Back at School...(Erik's View)

"Erik,what do you think about Anastasia?" Damien asked me,eyes focused,like each movement of mine was very important.

"She's okay."

"Do you want to consider her as your girlfriend?"

I kept quiet.

"Look I know you have high expectations for your girlfriend but Anastasia is a nice girl. She probably lack of looks and style but she has a great character and a awesome personality. If looks and style is what blocking you from dating with Anastasia,that can be fixed. My girlfriend is currently bringing Anastasia for a Makeover."

"I dunno. I have always felt something for her but I have no idea if its negative or positive feeling. We shall talk about this next time alright,Damien? I really
gotta go,see ya tomorrow." I waved goodbye and scurried off.

Anastasia. She is nice,awesome character and has always shine the brightest among all the other girls I've seen. I like everything about her except her looks and the way she dresses. Do I like her? Do I love her? Whatever I dislike about her can be changed so should I give her a chance? My head is in a mess. I shake my head,telling myself that I shall not think about this for the time being.

Taxi arrived in front of a huge shopping mall...(Anastasia's View)

"Welcome to the most awesome place on earth,the shopping mall!" Shaunee said in a cheerful voice. Her arms were spread open as if wanting to embrace the shopping mall. I rolled my eyes. Before I could say anything,Shaunee dragged me into the shopping mall,spotted a salon and headed towards it. We were greeted by a blonde. Her hair was tied up into a ponytail and she wore a black tank top with dark blue jeans. She wore glittery,silver high heels and a pair of blue crystal earrings. She was really pretty.

"Janet,cut her a hairstyle that fits her best," Shaunee said.

The blonde,Janet I think,examined me from head to toe. In one minute's time,her expression changed as if she got an idea already. I plopped down onto a cushion seat in front of a mirror and Janet started working on my hair. Everything happened so quickly. She washed my hair,blow dry ,cut it and styled it. When all was over I looked into the mirror. In the mirror I saw a familiar looking girl,big round sea-green eyes,muddy brown curly hair that reaches up to her chest level,a little freckles on the cheeks and a sharp nose. That pretty girl in the mirror was me.

"You look so pretty! I never knew you looked so pretty despite knowing you for my whole life!" Shaunee exclaimed.

I was dumbfounded. My voice would not do what I wanted them to do. I opened my mouth to speak but my voice did not work. All I could do was admire the pretty girl in the mirror with her mouth hanging open.

"You are satisfied and so am I. Come on lets go," Shaunee spoke up after a few minutes and started pulling me into another shop. She scanned the row of clothing,picked about 3 of them,stuffed them into my hands and push me in the direction of the fitting room,signalling for me to try them on. I changed out of my clothes and into one of the dresses that Shaunee has picked for me. I was about to opened the door when I saw my reflection in the mirror. What a gorgeous dress! My shoulders were bared by an exquisite black silk dress that molded to my body.

"Anastasia you are taking forever!" Shaunee's voice coming from outside.

"Sorry but I just cannot help admiring myself in this gorgeous dress!"

I opened the door,stepped out and spun one round for Shaunee to see.

"Beautiful. Alright,we will take this. Go on,change to the others."

I changed to the other dress. The next outfit was a red dress that was only up to my knees. A ribbon was tied around my waist and there were diamonds on the dress's hem and it shined due to the light reflected on it. I stepped out,spun one round. Shaunee said the same sentence and I went in to change into another outfit. Now this outfit I was about to try on is the most beautiful dress I ever seen. It was a long,soft skirt with the colour of blue topaz. Glass beads,shells and white leather fringe was sewn all around the skirt's hem and on the low,rounded neckline of the sleeveless,butter-soft tunic top. It seems perfect to me. Shaunee said this outfit look great on me and that I should wear it more often. We bought all that we tried and proceed on with shopping.

It was already 6 plus by the time I finish shopping. I've got my nails painted,got a few outfits,a couple of handbags,a huge load of cosmetics(since it was on
discount),about 3 to 5 pairs of shoes and a few other accessories such as earrings and bracelets. When I reached home I put all the shopping bags at one
corner and plopped down onto my soft bed. I could not wait to go to school tomorrow. I could not wait to show off the new me. I could not for Erik to see
the changed me. Most importantly,I couldn't wait to get a boyfriend.
