Chapter3:The make-over
Lenalee's POV
"Oh, Lena-chan! Wake up!" Fo's cheerful voice rang on my still sleepy head. I yawned and stretched before I sat up and rubbed my eyes.
"Fo. What are you doing in my room?" I asked, still light headed.
"Why? Don't tell me you forgot? Today is the day I'm going to give you a big time make-over! So stand now and take a bath so we can start." she pushed me in the bathroom that was inside my room. I noticed that she was already dressed up in her black sleeve-less tank top, loose fashion belt, bright red skirt and a pair of black sandals.
"Fo! I-"
"Don't speak and just take your bath now! Do it quick!"she pushed me in and handed a piece of paper as I entered the bathroom. I sighed. This was a list of what to do on my bath. I sighed again. Fo is taking this WAY too seriously. Well, might as well do what I needed to do. I read and memorized the contents and placed the paper on the medicine cabinet. I started with a warm shower. I wet my hair and put on my strawberry scented shampoo .I then washed myself with my soap and rinsed .Next, I applied conditioner on my hair and skin moisturizer on my body. It felt weird to be applying conditioner and moisturizer on myself but it felt so nice. I rinsed again and washed my face with a facial wash. After I'm all done, I gently dried my hair with my towel before wrapping it with it. I put on my light blue bathrobe and walked out.
"Great! You're done with phase one: proper bathing. Now with the clothes." she dragged me to my bed and sat me down. She pulled out several bags and revealed newly bought clothes inside.
"Fo, you didn't have to waste your money just to help me. I could've just borrowed some of yours." She looked at me and raised an eyebrow while still holding up a blouse.
"You have got to be nuts. You know that I have more than enough money for this, and its not as if my clothes would fit you." Oh, right. I almost forgot that she was living on a mansion.
"Put this on now."She handed me some article of clothing and pushed me inside the bathroom again. I simply did what she said and came out in no time. I haven't even looked at what I was wearing .As I came out, I saw her eyes glitter. I guess that's a good sign.
"Perfect!" I glanced down and found that I was wearing a white button up blouse with a dark blue vest on top. I was also wearing a white mini skirt that goes just above my knees and a pair of navy blue high heels boots. My eyes widened and I walked in front of the mirror but Fo stopped me.
"No. You couldn't see yourself until we're finished. Now let's do your hair." She sat me down on a chair that was in front of a mirror that she had covered with a piece of white cloth. She removed the towel and blow dry it. She used a roll brush to curve my bangs a little inward until my hair was dry. She combed my hair and pulled them up in two high ponytails. Pigtails.
"Why pigtails?" I asked.
"I almost didn't sleep last night as I think of many hair styles that might suit you best. And I thought this would look really perfect on you." When she was finished tying them up, she moved back and stared at me. Now she started jumping up in excitement and joy.
"You keep looking more beautiful than ever Lenalee! I knew your hair will do a big magic on you." she then pulled out her make-up kit from her bag and started applying a light coat of foundation. She put on light blue eye shadow on my eyelids and some mascara. Lastly, some glittery pink lipstick. She placed a silver necklace around my neck that has my name written in cursive using diamonds. She also placed some bangles on my right hand. Then last but not the least, she sprayed a sweet light scented jasmine perfume on me.
"Done." she announced I stood up and walked in front of the mirror and expected the worst. I glanced at my reflection and gasped.
Was-..Was that really me?
"Lena-chan! Hey, Lena! We're going to school now!" Lavi's voice shouted from outside. Lenalee flinched at his voice. She looked at Fo who doesn't seem to be having any problem.
"Fo? I don't think I could go to school with Lavi while looking like this." Lenalee said with desperate eyes.
"What do you mean? You look fabulous! Don't you like it?"
"No it's not that! It's just that I am a little..shy. It will be the first time that he'll see me wearing a skirt." she pleaded. Fo sighed and put a hand on Lenalee's shoulder.
"Hey, look. We did this to impress him and not to hide away from him. Besides, you always wears skirts when we were young." Fo pointed out.
"That's the point. The reason why I stopped, or rather had been forced to stop, wearing skirts was because boys always gives me stares and I'm not really comfortable with those kind of stares." Lenalee gripped the hem of her white skirt. She inhaled to calm down a bit."Lavi is my best friend and I am most certain that he won't do anything to me that I won't approve of but.." she trailed of.
"But?"
"But he's still a boy. No matter how I turn the world upside down he would always be a he. And boys always likes girls especially if they're wearing short skirts. I don't want him to be perverted just because of me." Lenalee's voice was meek and almost inaudible. She's not in anyways boasting because it's not her personality. And Fo knows that. She also knows about Lenalee's history of mini skirts. Fo hugged her and rubbed the other girl's back. She knows that the poor girl still might have a trauma.
"Ssh, ssh..Its okay Lenalee. Lavi's not like that. Besides, in case you forgot he was the one who always protected you from perverts. He even gets totally beaten up and teased by Allen and Kanda about his multiple black eyes. He also had regular visits to the principal's office due to fights during and after school. And you know that each and every fight was because of you. Because he was protecting you from the other guys. That's why you two always goes to school together, right? Because he wants to be there for you and protect you from anything and anyone." What Fo said was true.
Lenalee had ALMOST been violated so many times before when they were about ten to thirteen years old. By the age of thirteen, Lenalee had totally ditched skirts and fashion. Lenalee pulled back from Fo's hug. "You're right.I almost forgot about that."
"Lenalee! If you won't hurry then I would really leave you now! Hey, Lee!" Lavi shouted again. Lenalee and Fo giggled. Lavi had already threaten to leave for about five times already.
"So? Are you ready to go now?" Fo asked. Lenalee thought for awhile before smiling brightly again.
"Yes. But I won't be going to school with Lavi for now. Tell him that I'll be absent today because I'm not feeling well." Fo raised an eyebrow but soon understood.
"Oh. So you want to surprise the little rabbit huh? Okay then, I'll tell him to go ahead. But you need to help." Fo handed Lenalee a white blanket and told her to wrap it around her whole body with only her eyes showing. "Just act normally, okay?" Fo said.
They went out of the room with Lenalee following behind. Once they were in front of the door, Lenalee went on the pink haired girl's side. Fo looked at Lenalee. "Okay. We have to do this as calm as possible. Remember to act normally and don't panic." Fo dictated.
She opened the door.
"Lena-! Fo? What are you doing in there?" Lavi asked. He looked at the white lady-..er, I mean, Lenalee and raised an eyebrow. "Why are you covered with a blanket? Is something wrong?" he walked up to them in an attempt to feel Lenalee's forehead but before he could get near them, Fo spoke.
"!" Fo said quickly and shut the door. Lavi sweat dropped from the other side of the door and so as Lenalee.
"What?" Fo asked innocently.
Lavi's POV
I sighed as I walked on the hallway leading to my locker. Lenalee is sick? What has she been doing? I arrived at my locker and slammed my head on it. Damn. I don't even know why I'm so depressed like this. She rarely gets sick and almost have perfect attendance so I guess I miss her. And the day hadn't even started!
"Hey, Lavi!" I looked up from my depressed state and black swirls were practically hanging over my head. Miranda sweat dropped while Chomesuke walked over to me.
"I think it won't be appropriate to greet you good morning today. What's wrong Lavi?" she asked while clinging on my left arm. I let my head fall to my right side to bang it on my locker again. Dark clouds were forming around me as an animated figure of my soul was moving out of my mouth. Miranda freaked out.
"Morning Lavi! Where's Lenalee?" Allen joined while flashing us a bright smile.
"Yeah, and Fo too."Miranda added while wiping a sweat off her forehead due to her recent freaking out.
"Good morning guys! Hey, where's Fo and Lenalee?" Krory asked. Why are they all asking about their whereabouts? It just somehow added to my depression. I was so focused on making myself feel more depressed that I didn't noticed Kanda join the group.
"Che. So that's why the rabbit is so gloomy. Lenalee is not here." I shot my head up from its position on the locker. Oh, shit. I almost forgot that Kanda knew about my little crush on my best friend. But that was a long time ago! Its different now. Right?
"And what exactly do you mean by that, ne, Yu-chan?" I narrowed my eyes at him.
"Would you really like to know stupid rabbit?" he glared at me.
"Hey guys stop it! Kanda don't bully Lavi! He's just sad because his best friend isn't here."Chomesuke said. I saw Yu gulp and turn away. Really? What's with Yu and his fear of Lenalee and Chomesuke?
"Um, I think we should head back to our classrooms now." Krory said after consulting his watch. They all nodded and started walking away. I dragged myself to follow Allen in the hallway. I sighed while putting my hands in my pockets. This is going to be a long day.
