"I'm telling you she's not even a girl," Brittany mumbled to Eleanor as she ate lunch with her sisters. The two watched Jeanette slouched over with her sweat shirt, ripped jeans, and sneakers eating spaghetti with no manners what so ever. Her face had a few globs of tomato sauce but she took no notice. She looked over and noticed the two staring at her like she was crazy. She spoke with her mouth full.
"What?" she asked annoyed. "Why are looking at me like that?" Brittany got up and at next to Jeanette.
"You know, now that were high school freshman do you think you could start acting like a…girl?!" she asked giving her the eyes.
"I act like a girl all the time!" Brittany and Eleanor pointed to their cloths. Brittany was wearing a really short pink skirt, heels, earrings, a diamond necklace, her hair was perfectly parted and was in a neat ponytail and she was wearing a pink top that said Baby Doll in sparkly letters. Eleanor was wearing a normal length green skirt , a black shirt with a giant green peace sign, she had black ballet flats and had two curly pigtails. They pointed to Jeanette. She had on distressed skinny jeans, dark navy blue Aeropastle hoodie , and black converses. Her hair was in a sloppy bun. Jeanette turned away from her lunch and faced her sisters.
"So maybe I'm not "girly" but I'm perfectly capable of being as girly and pretty as I want to. Besides," she stuffed more spaghetti in her mouth and spoke. " It matters more of what's on the inside than the outside." She stated. Brittany and Eleanor shot each other looks. Eleanor got up and stood behind Jeanette.
"We'll a little presentation never hurt anyone." Eleanor tapped her chin and began thinking. "Let's start with this hair." She undid Jeanette's bun and combed her hair through with her fingers. She than took off her sweatshirt exposing her glittery tank underneath. She marveled at her work. "Don't slouch." She straightened out he back.
"You look so beautiful now." Eleanor complimented. Jeanette rolled her eyes.
"Like that will do any good." Jeanette moaned. She took her ribbon back from Eleanor and tied her hair up in a sloppy pony tail. "I honestly don't care that I'm not all girly and materialistic. Like some of the other airheads at this school." The three looked around at all the girls in the cafeteria looking in mirrors and fixing their hair and make-up.
"You know the real problem is, is that you're afraid to be different." Brittany concluded. "You're afraid to change because you don't know what will happen. You think the universe will explode!" she said waving around her arms. Jeanette was outraged.
"I am not! I'm just like the other girls around here. I'm certainly just as pretty, as you two say I am. The only difference is that I pride myself on being a well rounded person," she lectured. "Not some dress up doll. I'm just as good as the other girls and I could do whatever they can if I tried. And like you also said we have everything they have and more."
Brittany paced behind her. "Oh yeah? Than why don't you have a date to the prom in two weeks?"
"Oh come on, not everyone has a date. You guys don't."
"I'm going with Theodore. Member?"
"We'll you don't have a date." She told Brittany.
"Actually I'm going with Alvin." She said proudly. "We made up last night at that party. Hey, you should go with Simon. We could all triple date."
Jeanette thought for a moment. She didn't like Simon like that but she did need a date. But they were just friends and nothing more. She tapped her chin and thought some more. That would be sort of selfish using him just for one night when she didn't like him at all. But they could go as friends…
"Well maybe. He is sweet but I'm just not that into him." Brittany and Eleanor scoffed.
"We'll everybody can tell he's into you." Eleanor said happily. "The way he's always catching you when you fall, he always studies with you, the way he always listens when you talk to him, how he blushes when you get close. And he's always asking where you are." She confirmed.
"Really?" Jeanette squeaked. "Maybe I will ask him. I mean, I can't go dateless."
"Great! It's a triple date and I'm sure Simon will be so excited to go with you." Brittany said. "But first we need to give you a makeover so you'll look hot."
"Guys," Jeanette sighed. "I'm not going to change my appearance just so I can look great for prom. I want to be known as me. Not Barbie Jr."
"Fine." Brittany huffed. "But your still getting a makeover one way or another….."

On the other side of the cafeteria Simon was scanning the room looking for a date to the prom. Being one of the chipmunks, Simon had been asked by tons of popular, pretty girls but all of them were materialistic and self centered. He needed the right one. His eyes took a double take when they landed on Jeanette eating pasta. She was so perfect in his eyes. He loved her to death and was dieing to ask her but he could never face rejection from someone so close to him. Plus, he didn't want to risk their friendship. He sighed and looked at her. She was so perfect. Unlike all the other girls at this school she had natural beauty. No hair extensions, fake nails, spray tan, nose job, make-up, contacts, or died blonde hair (whish explained why half the student body was in fact bleach blonds). She had natural beauty.
"Just ask her already. Your killing me!" Alvin yelled in Simon's ear. Simon awoke from his fantasy about Jeanette.
"What are you talking about?" Simon asked even though he knew.
"How your looking at Jeanette." Theodore mentioned "We all know you like her. You should ask her. She doesn't bite"
Simon sighed. His brothers would never understand. "It's not that easy."
"Yes it is." Alvin said quickly. "Ask the girl, go to the prom, make-out, get married, have kids, grow old together. How hard is that?" he finished with haste as he clasped his hand together.
Simon was not amused. "It's just that, Jeanette is so perfect and delicate and close to me. One wrong move and our friendship flies out the window." He sighed and ate one of his fries. "She just different from all the girls from all the girls at this school. She's pure, beautiful, and un materialistic."
"Well…" Theodore thought. " You should try it. What have you got to lose?"
"My best friend! Plus, what if she says no. Than she'll know I love her and that she doesn't like me back." Simon sighed again.
"Just take a risk for once!" Alvin ranted "You guys are perfect for each other. You're like twins! How smart can you two be if you didn't know that." Alvin snorted.
As much of pain Alvin was, he was right. Simon and Jeanette were perfect for each other. What did he really have to loose…
"I'm going to take a risk for one and ask her. Anything for love."
'Just hope Jeanette stays herself for the prom. Just the way I like her.' Simon thought
A/n: Wow! So Britt and Ellie want Jeanette to change and Simon doesn't? And talk about foreshadowing. Which side will she choose…REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)
