Chapter 3

If someone would have told her yesterday that today would be the day that her sister and her best friend, Caroline would try to change her, Elena would have ran in a different direction as fast as she could. But since Elena had no prior warning, she could have never predicted that Caroline and Katherine would be in her bedroom with a bunch cosmetics and clothing bags.

"What's going on here?" She asked looking at the both of them.

Before Katherine could open her mouth, Caroline stepped in to do all the talking.

"We're here to give you a makeover." She said excited.

Elena exhaled in disbelief as she looked at Katherine. This had no doubt been her sisters doing.

"Well i don't need one. Thanks for your offer, but i'm going to have to decline it. I like myself just the way i am."

Caroline stared in disbelief, but before she could do anything Katherine stepped in.

"May I speak to my sister in private Caroline?"

Caroline nodded and exited the room.

"Why won't you do this Elena?"

"Because i'm not like you Katherine. I don't need to put on massive amounts of makeup to make myself feel better. I don't need pretty clothes to turn boys heads like you do. I'm perfectly fine just the way I am. Why can't you just accept that?"

"Because you're embarassing me Elena. It might sound harsh, but you know it's true. I mean i already have one embarassing sibling. Why do i need two? I mean you dress like a boy most of the time. Why can't you just be a girl for once?"

"Fine. I'll try it for one night."

"At least give it a month."

"What's in it for me?"

"I know how much you want mother's necklace in your possession. If you go through with this and absouletly hate the tranformation at the end of the month then i'll give it to you."

"Not good enough."

"And i'll never bother you about getting a makeover again. Please Elena. Just do this for me."

"Fine. Done."

Katherine clapped in excitement as she called Caroline back in to do something that Elena no dout would later regret.
