7:55 AM
The next morning, Claire excitedly got ready and ate her breakfast. Massie had told Claire to put her date outfit in a bag, and to put it inside her backpack. After school, Claire could change into the outfit for her date. Claire's cell phone vibrated in her jeans.
"Hello?" she answered.
"Hey Claire, it's Josh."
"Hey Josh!" Claire said.
"So, I was wondering, do you wanna see a movie with me tonight?"
"Sure, what movie?" she asked.
"How about Transformers?" he suggested.
"Sure!"
"Cool, I'll see you soon. Bye."
"Bye!" Claire said.
Claire took the bag and her backpack and left the house. In the car, Claire was getting nervous. What if the date was disasturous? What if the date was totally awkward?
"Claire, CLAIRE!!" Massie said, interrupting her thoughts.
"Huh, what?" Claire said.
"Claire, are you ok?" Massie asked.
"Yeah, I'm just a bit nervous." she said.
"About what?"
"About my date."
"Why? You shouldn't be, everything is going to be perfect!" Massie assured her.
"I hope so." Claire muttered, as they arrived at school. As Claire got out, she saw Josh with his friends. He saw her and waved to her. Claire smiled and waved back to him.
"See?" Massie nudged Claire, "I told you everything was going to be perfect."
Claire smiled.

2:57 PM
Throughout school, Claire was waiting for school to end. Finally, the last bell rang. Claire raced out of the classroom and into the nearest bathroom. She changed into her outfit and checked her reflection in the mirror once more. Satisfied, Claire left the bathroom, but only to be pulled back in by Massie.
"You need some make up." Massie said.
"I do?" Claire asked.
"Yeah, you can't go on a date barefaced." Alicia said, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Ok, let me see, turn you face towards me, Claire." Massie commanded. "Kristen, go look inside my backpack, and get my make up bag."
"Is it this one?" Kristen asked, holding up a black Sephora bag.
"Yeah, thanks."
"Do I really need make up?" Claire asked.
"Of course!" all four girls said together. Massie took out a bronze colored container.
"What is that?" Claire asked.
"It's foundation, to cover up all your pores and stuff like that." Alicia explained.
"Oh."
Massie took out a thick brush and dabbed some of the foundation onto Claire's cheeks and forehead. "Now, for your eyes."
"What's wrong with my eyes?" Claire asked. People had always complimented her on her eyes. Before Massie could answer, two girls barged into the bathroom.
"Excuuuuuse me, no one is allowed in here right now." Massie snapped.
"But-" one girl said.
"No buts, OUT!" Massie said, shooing them away.
The girls grumbled as they walked out the door.
"Anyways, back to your eyes." Massie said. "There's nothing wrong with your eyes, I'm just making them prettier." Massie brushed on some purple eye shadow. Then she put purple eye liner on Claire.
"Look at the mirror." Massie told Claire.
"Wow." Claire said. Her eyes now looked bigger and brighter.
"Now, for mascara." Massie brushed on black mascara onto Claire's eye lashes. Massie then added some pink blush onto Claire's cheeks to highlight them.
"Now, for the finishing touch." Massie said. She took out her Strawberry Glossip Girl and applied it onto Claire's lips. "Smack your lips." she commanded.
Claire smacked her lips.
"Ehmagawd, Claire your hair is so frizzy, we need to straighten it out. Anyone got a straightener in their bag? I forgot mine at home." Massie said.
"I have one." Alicia said, holding up her blue hair straightener.
Massie took it and plugged it in. In less than five minutes, Claire's hair was perfectly straight and glossy. Massie sprayed some perfume on Claire, and sprinkled some glitter onto Claire's eyelids.
"Perfect! You're all set to go! Take a look at yourself in the mirror." she said.
Claire turned around and gasped. The person she was completely different from the old Claire. The new Claire looked much more confident and mature now.
"Oooh, all the boys will like you!" Kristen said.
"Except Derrington." snapped Massie.
"And Dan!" Dylan said.
"And...Josh." Alicia said, uncertainly.
"Ugh, why am I the only girl without a boy?" Kristen grumbled.
"Don't worry, you'll have one soon." Massie sympathized.
"Whatever." muttered Kristen.
"Go find Josh now and show him the new you!" Massie said.
"Ok, wish me luck!" Claire winked, waving goodbye to them.
