The sun peeked through the white curtains as dust floated around the near empty room. The brunette girl in the twin bed rolled over and yawned stretching her legs.
"Psh!" Another girl shook the brunette.
"Massie! Wake up! I have amazing news." The impatient blonde jumped on the bed making Massie shoot up from shock.
"Geez Claire!" Massie screamed as her eye lids started to flutter close and her head almost hit the pillow again. Claire picked Massie up,
"Someone's here for you." Massie shot up again this time out of the bed. "It's a girl; she looks like you with auburn hair." This made Massie shake with excitement yet fear. Her mom had finally come for here.
Ever since she was nine, Massie had been stuck in an orphanage. Her father had died while working as a police officer and all she remembers is one day coming home from school and saw a note from her mom saying that she had gone to stay at a relative's house for a while. Massie likes to think of it as a rest, not just skipping out on her.
Massie ran to the mirror, in the small cluttered, dirty bathroom that most kids shared in the orphanage. "Oh God!" Massie looked at her reflection in the mirror. It was not a question that she was very pretty for a 14 year old, but she wasn't very cocky and didn't see what most people did. All she saw was her tangled hair and deep under eye circles with her pale ghostly skin.
"Mass, you look fine!" Claire came up to her and stared at her friend's reflection. Claire was very jealous of Massie, even though that was a sin. Claire looked so innocent and kiddy. How sexy was that? Not very, she looked like a Power Puff Girl except for her light blonde hair and so American blue eyes.
Massie sighed as Claire zoned out, she does that a lot. The main problem was her appearance. Her mom had disappeared five years ago and she wanted to go her mom looking like this!
"Yoo-hoo! Ms. Massie! You have a visitor!" The head mistress knocked on the door putting Massie on the verge of tears. "Ms. Massie are you in there?" Claire came back to life and made an "O-shaped" circle with her mouth. They had just wasted the only time they had. Claire picked up a brush and brushed Massie's hair into nice soft waves as Massie washed her face for only 5 seconds.
"I'm coming Ms. Colleen!" Massie politely yelled back as she picked up lotion and smothered it onto her face.
Once Massie was a tad bit decent, she turned to Claire. "This may be the last time, I will ever see you again, Claire Bear." A tear slipped from Massie's amber eyes as Claire hugged her.
"One of the greatest people said, 'Don't be sad because it's over, be happy because it happened.' I'm happy that I met you Massie. You changed my life to the better. You're a beautiful person, when you go out to the real world people not be as nice as us. (A/N: Haha! Holes!) You take care." Claire pulled away as a few tears slipped from her aqua eyes. "I love you Mass, you know the address to this place, and you know how to write." Massie pulled away from Claire and nodded her head.
"Of course, my sugar-maniac," As she walked away to her room.
Ms. Colleen that had waited patiently outside moved out of the way to Massie. "This one is just a cookie! She is one of the sweetest people ever, Hun! You are just gonna love her so much. I showed her an old picture of you, she just wants to eat you up and-"
Massie closed the drawer loudly after grabbing her one T-shirt and two jeans. She reached into the closet and grabbed her flip flops.
"I'm ready…" Massie said after reaching behind her pillow and grabbing the few pictures she had of her mother.
Ms. Colleen looked at her and raised an eyebrow, "This is just not acceptable. You can't take this stuff. I'm sorry. You don't want to take memories with you." Massie turned to her and pursed her lips thinking.
"Oh…well I guess I'll throw it away." Massie walked to the nearest trash can out of her room. She stuffed the pictures down her only bra from Salvation Army and threw away her clothes as Ms. Colleen came out.
"I'm doing this because I love you, Massie. You have been one of the best kids I've had ever." The large woman patted her back as her green eyes twinkled a little less and less as she noticed Massie's change of feelings.
Together, they walked down the wooden steps creaking under their weight.
"Ms. Robertson, I'm done." A woman came up to her with paperwork. She was dressed in a sleek business suit with her auburn hair in a sleek bun. She smiled at Massie. Ms. Colleen grabbed the paper work and looked at Massie.
"You can call me Colleen of course, and this is Massie. She's very sweet." Ms. Colleen winked at Massie as her smile slowly faded.
Massie was shaking in her pajamas. 'I'm still in my pajamas! Ah!' Massie finally thought. She looked down at her clothes. They could pass for pajamas or even normal clothes. Massie sighed in relief as the woman introduced her.
"Hi honey, I'm your new mom, you can call me mom or even Lynn. How are you?" Massie blushed and looked up at the woman who held her hand out. Massie shook it and said in a small voice replied,
"Hi, Lynn. I'm Massie, I'm doing okay." Massie didn't feel comfortable calling her mom. There was only one person that could ever fit that spot and she wasn't going to replace them. Ms. Colleen hugged Massie as a few kids came out of the living room to see what was happening.
"Bye Massie, you take care out there." One of her friends. Landon said. Massie nodded her head as some tears started to well-up in the slits of her eyes.
Massie and Lynn walked out of the home and a few people including Claire and Colleen trailed behind them. Lynn abruptly stopped and walked over to the driver's side of a sleek Range Rover. "This is our car, Massie." Lynn smiled and got in as Massie followed after her.
It didn't take long to drive away but Massie waved to everyone until they only became little speckles in the rearview mirror.
"It's okay; I'm going to take care of you. Don't worry." Massie jumped out of her thoughts as the car came to a stop into a big looking building. Massie had been staring the whole time out of the window at the big beautiful houses.
"This is a mall; you're going to need a new wardrobe and everything. You're too skinny and pretty." Massie blushed at the comment and walked over to Lynn. She saw a ton of kids outside on probably expensive skateboards and bikes. Massie walked with Lynn until she fell down. "Ow…" Massie said after someone had run into her. Massie stood up from embarrassment as a few laughed and the guy that ran into her smiled and laughed,
"Woops." He was a little cute, but too much of a jerk. Lynn gave the young man an ice cold stare as they started into the mall.
"Which store first, honey?" Lynn asked and Massie shrugged her shoulders. She had never heard of Gucci, Chanel, Juicy Couture, or even Barney's. Massie bit her lip and replied,
"I guess Channel." Lynn laughed not caring to correct her and made their way to Massie's store of choice.
For at least the rest of the day, Massie shopped with Lynn. She was a very generous woman. They had gone through more than 30 stores it seemed and now she had an amazing wardrobe.
Lynn and Massie sat down at a marble table at Starbuck's and sipped their caffeinated drinks. Massie stuck her finger in the whip cream and sucked it off her finger. This was one of the most delicious things she had. It was even better that she got a muffin to go with it! Massie rubbed her stomach and said "I'm done, it's too delicious. I might explode." Lynn laughed and threw away their drinks. They had to pick up the insane amount of bags that had surrounded their table and even blocked the door away a bit. Massie yawned and stretched yet again; she was beat.
"We're almost done, Massie. But now we're going to go get your undergarments, makeup, and get your beauty done." That all sounded so tiring, but mostly all they went to was Victoria's Secret (she had to hide the pictures of her mom in a new Louis Vuitton purse), Mac, and Bare Minerals. They ended the day by going to a salon. There Massie learned how to apply makeup and do her nails.
Waiting in a chair, the manager walked up to Massie and started feeling her hair. "Oh. Miguel! I'm sorry, but this is my new daughter, the one I've been talking about for weeks. She's a beauty isn't she? I know I don't have an appointment, but can you may be fit her in?" Miguel made a small sound and scraped Massie's hair on one side of her neck. In a thick British accent, he replied
"She is a beaut. Of course ma' lady, you're our best customer." He smiled and started to do Massie's hair. It seemed like it took forever. All he kept doing was combing, washing, twirling, straightening, curling, and putting metal pieces in her hair. She hoped that those would come out easily. With one last tease, Miguel finally finished. The whole day, Massie had only seen herself in the mirror when she learned to apply her makeup, but she didn't even do it after that the lady did! Miguel turned her so she can see herself in the mirror. Lynn gasped as she walked up and admired her new daughter.
Scared, Massie peeked through one eye and slowly opened the other. She looked beautiful. Her hair was in soft loose curls with new highlights and a purple streak behind her ear. Her makeup wasn't heavy, it looked natural yet classic. Her amber eyes popped through everything. Massie stared at herself in the mirror in a surprised way. She never knew you could look this pretty.
"How much does this cost?" Lynn said as she took out her AmEx. Miguel smiled and waved his sculpted hand in the air.
"No, no, no Hun. This is free, your daughter is a beaut and as long as you promise me to bring her back it's nothing." Miguel gave one last look and whispered, "You better hide her from these jungle monkeys out here," before Miguel walked away to the back room. Lynn laughed lightly as she and Massie picked up their shopping bags. They walked safely to their car and stored everything in the back. Massie couldn't believe how her life had transformed in less than an hour. She was adopted into a rich family and I guess that made her rich.
For the next ten minutes, they drove on the nice gray road and Massie stared at all the big mansions. The car stopped once again in front of a classical house. It was huge with red bricks and white detailing of the porch, canopies, and even balconies. Massie had to keep her mouth from dropping as they drove into the circular driveway with a fountain. There were many other small versions of the house scattered in the yard, too.
"We're home." Lynn said and cut the engine off. Massie stared at her as she got out the car and stood in front of the house.
"Whoa…"
