I dropped Kenny off at my place before I drove over to Wendy's house. He desperately begged me to stay and almost managed to convince me with the passion behind his kisses.
I told him to watch one of his favorite movies in the meantime. I didn't want to let Wendy and Heidi down, they wanted to do this for me.
Wendy's house was in a nicer part of town. When I arrived I was surprised at just how much her house matched her personality. It was sophisticated and average at the the same time.
I laughed inwardly at my thoughts.
Wendy and Heidi both ran out, sticking to me as soon as I got out of my car.
"This'll be awesome Iza, you'll see." Wendy's eyes lit up as she spoke.
"I don't doubt it." I smiled, letting myself be dragged into her house.
I quickly learned her parent's ideal color scheme, purple and white. The entire house felt like it was one of those two colors, everything from the kitchen to the living room.
"I like the colors in here." I remarked as we walked up stairs covered in a plush white carpet.
"I convinced my parents to do it, isn't it great?" Wendy gushed, spreading her arms out as if she was showing off the house.
"It is." I agreed. Now it made more sense. It seemed hard to believe two grown adults would actually want their house to look like this.
We walked down the hall and entered Wendy's room.
It was clear she had the master bedroom. It was massive, and the entire room was purple, white, or pink.
"Wow." I said, looking around at her furniture. The large king size bed in the middle of the room had neat blue bed sheets smoothed over it.
A large white desk was pushed against the far wall. A laptop and neatly organized paper and pencils adorned her desk.
She had a massive walk in closet right next to her door, I could see all of her clothes and shoes organized inside.
To the right of the walk in closet door I could see another closed door, I assumed it was her own bathroom, which was probably also huge.
"Welcome to my room!" Wendy said happily. She went into her closet, haphazardly digging through everything.
"She already has an idea of what she wants you to wear, what are your sizes?" Heidi asked. I told her my shirt, pants, and dress size which earned a cheer of victory from her.
"Wendy it's like you thought, you two wear the exact same sizes." Heidi called into the closet.
"I knew it!" Wendy said happily from inside the depths of her closet.
"I'm going to go get my stuff ready. Wendy's taking care of your clothes and I'm in charge of your hair and makeup." Heidi pranced into the on suite bathroom. I heard her humming and rustling around with God knows what.
Wow, this is weird. If someone told me even a few days ago that I would be in Wendy's house I would've laughed in their face. What is happening?
I looked down at my hands, squeezing them into fists before releasing them again.
When Kenny discovered his power did his life change as much as mine felt like it was? How much would my life continue to change from this point on?
I found myself feeling a little apprehensive. Things were going well for me now, but was there a timer ticking down that I didn't know about?
I shook my head. I needed to not think too much. Be happy, Iza. Life is good, enjoy it while you can.
Wendy emerged, a dark piece of fabric draped over her arm.
"Okay Iza, this is what you'll be wearing." She smiled at me, shoving the clothes into my hands and gesturing towards the closet.
"You can change in there. I can't wait to see how it looks on you! Oh, and make sure you wear it without a bra." Wendy said excitedly, pushing my back lightly.
"Alright, thanks Wendy." I chuckled at her pure enthusiasm. Those 2 really seemed to be enjoying themselves.
I stripped down out of my usual oversized sweater and leggings. I looked at them woefully. I was sure whatever I was about to put on was nowhere near as comfortable as my clothes were.
"What in the hell." I muttered, picking up the piece of fabric Wendy had given to me. It had so many holes it in I wasn't sure where to stick my head in.
I took my a few tries but I eventually got it, pulling it over my head and adjusting it on my body.
"Wendy this is a bit much." I called out in a hesitant voice.
The dress was a very dark purple. I liked the color, but that was probably the only thing I liked about it.
It was skin tight for one, which is something I hated.
A thin piece of the purple fabric wrapped around my throat, creating the image of a choker around my neck.
My shoulders and arms were covered by the fabric until it ended at my mid forearm.
The chest piece was completely open in a large U-shape, showing my entire collarbone and dipping down to expose a large part of my breasts.
The top part of the dress was so constricting it pushed my boobs up, making them look bigger than they actually were.
The mid part of the dress was completely open from right below my breasts to just above my belly button.
One slice of the purple fabric ran across the middle of the gap in the dress, covering only a tiny part of my midriff.
The rest of the dress hugged my thighs tightly, ending in a slant. The longest part of the dress ended above my knee on my right leg, the shortest part on my upper thigh on my left leg.
"Let me see!" She said eagerly, knocking on the door.
I opened it, seeing Heidi standing beside Wendy. Both of them gasped and their eyes widened. I hoped that was a good reaction.
"Holy shit." Wendy said, circling around me.
"Wow, it looks so good." Heidi pulled at the dress, adjusting it here and there.
"I'm not going to a nightclub." I said incredulously.
"This dress has one purpose and one purpose only, to impress your man. It doesn't matter whether you're staying in or going out." Wendy explained, almost chastising me.
"Just think of Kenny's reaction when he sees you! Doesn't that make it sound worth it?" Heidi smirked.
I thought for a moment.
Yup, it made it worth it.
"Alright, I get it." I said. Both girls looked very pleased with themselves.
"My turn!" Heidi said, spinning me around and pushing me towards the bathroom.
Again, the interior was all purple, white, or pink. White floor tile, dark purple walls, white countertops, purple and pink towels.
Tons of makeup was spread out on the counter and a purple hair straightener was plugged into the wall, ready to go.
"I've never seen your hair straightened, I know it would like great. I'm going to give you a very subtle makeup look, nothing too crazy. You're already plenty pretty, plus a full on face of makeup wouldn't hold up with the kind of night you're going to have." Heidi giggled, her voice extremely suggestive.
"Makes sense." I said with a tiny smile.
Heidi went to work, straightening each lock of my hair with care. While she did Wendy and Heidi prattled on and on about things I had no interest in. Makeup, clothes, boys to an extent.
I learned they both thought Kenny was extremely hot and they were both jealous I was the one who got to nail him down. Their opinion of him didn't surprise me, I doubted there was a single girl in school who could truly say Kenny wasn't attractive and mean it.
Wendy thought very highly of Stan. She told Heidi and I all about how well he treated her and how good he was in bed. Definitely didn't need to know the last part, but when Wendy started talking it seemed nearly impossible to get her to stop.
Heidi told us how happy she was to finally be free of Cartman. She enthusiastically described every little detail of her and Kyle's conversation at school, complete with an analysis of what each smile and laugh meant.
Their conversations droned on, it was mind numbing, surprisingly in a good way. Conversations like this allowed your mind to rest. Nothing to worry about, no important pressing issues, just your typical girl talk.
"My creation is complete!" Heidi said, stepping back from my face a turning me towards the mirror.
My jaw dropped. I could immediately see how good Heidi was at applying makeup when compared to myself. The way I looked at Bebe's party was trashy compared to how I looked now.
My skin was like porcelain and my eyes looked like a doll's, big and bright. My eyebrows were perfectly arched and full, my nose defined neatly.
With my hair straight it ended right above my butt. It looked like Heidi had put something in it because it was shinier than usual.
"Kenny doesn't stand a chance." Wendy said coyly, fluffing my hair up behind me.
"He'll pop a boner as soon as he sees you." Heidi chuckled. I had to resist face palming. These girls were absolutely shameless.
I turned around, surprisingly them both by hugging Wendy then Heidi.
"Thank you both. I had a lot of fun." I said sincerely, meaning every word.
"We'll have to hang out more often." Wendy exclaimed.
"Yeah! We'll be in touch." Heidi smiled happily.
"Wendy, I'll give you the dress on Monday."
"Oh no, that's yours. You look way better in it anyways." She pat my shoulder gently.
"I'll treasure it forever." I said dramatically, spinning around. Both girls laughed at my over the top reaction.
"Go on lover girl, don't keep your man waiting." Wendy said, walking back into her room.
Heidi and I followed her. We all walked downstairs and to her front door.
"Wish me luck!" I called out as I slipped on my black flats and walked out towards my car.
"Good luck!"
"You're telling us everything on Monday!"
"Will do." I giggled, slipping into the passenger seat and pulling out of Wendy's driveway.
On the drive home I kept thinking about my identity crisis. Since when did I enjoy hanging out with girls like Wendy and Heidi? Was I giving up Red and the others by doing so? Would I change completely and lose important people?
I was barely even texting my friends anymore when I couldn't see them at lunch or after school, and they weren't bothering to ask where I was.
God, my head was so messed up. Was going into other people's heads rattling my own?
I sighed, shut up brain. Just focus on who's waiting for you at home.
I pulled into my driveway, taking a deep breath.
Alright Kenny, let's see what you think of me now.
