Chapter Four

Coming home from school Kristen had a ton of things to do. The next day was the eve of the book fair and she had to make sure everything was final so she spent all her time after school carrying the doll around as she posted flyers around the school and she even took some to the bookstores and libraries even though she had already taken them flyers, but she wanted to make sure she could get as many people as she could and thanks to Marissa the entire week there was an ad in the New York Times and on Marissa's website.

"Hannah!" Kristen called out angrily ready to confront her little sister about her alarm not going off.

"With your dad." Called a voice that Kristen immediately noted at Marissa.

"Where'd they go?" Kristen asked.

"Well you know your dad and so he surprised Hannah with no other than Hannah Montana tickets for the show tonight at Madison Square Garden." Marissa said with a laugh. "So since they are having fun together I thought we could also so don't take off your jacket we are going out for some fun."

"But there is so much to do with the fair." Kristen said.

"This has to do with the fair." Marissa said happily as she put on her own coat and took Kristen by the arm.

Chuck sat on the couch across from Nate as they both sat with beers watching tv. It was pretty much a boring day with no parties and no drama with anyone at the moment. It was a bit weird for them, but it was a nice time to sit back and relax. Chuck thought back to class and to Kristen sitting next to him paying him no attention. Since the day she walked out he did feel guilty for the way he behaved. At school whenever he saw her he tried his best to avoid her because of the guilt he felt. Guilt was one of the strangest feelings he ever had, but he played it off well in public.

"So how is your baby doll project going?" Nate asked.

"No idea." Chuck then said putting his beer down and sitting back with his hands behind his head.

"What happened to you and your partner?" Nate then asked looking at his friend with concern.

"She wanted to do it on her own. I really don't care. An easy A for me." He said with a smirk.



"True that." Nate said with a laugh.

Oddly Chuck wasn't going to admit to anyone, but he oddly missed her company every afternoon. He had gotten used to her being there for two hours everyday and no matter how much she got on his nerves he just liked her company. He wasn't used to just having company with a girl without it leading to sex, but just the two of them in the same room and every now and then when they weren't bickering they actually talked. When they talked there was also something about her laugh that he loved to hear and in a strange sense her laugh made him melt inside. Even sometimes after they had started working together he would have butterflies in his stomach when he saw her.

"Was she as weird as I imagine?" Nate asked with a laugh.

"Weirder." Chuck lied easily. "Freaked me out sometime with her random knowledge."

Though secretly he loved the random facts she would sometimes spew out when he mentioned something using the wrong phrase or when he actually did attempt to work on the paper she would give him a mini grammar lesson and he strangely liked to sit and listen to her voice. He had never met a girl who was actually that smart and dedicated. Most girls he knew were all dedicated to their social status and didn't really care where they went in life unless it had to do with their popularity, but she didn't care about any of that it was all about helping people and going somewhere amazing with her life and he strangely admired her for that though he would never tell a soul.

The two of them Kristen and Marissa exited the town car in front of a salon. Kristen was looking around trying to figure out what they were doing there because she saw nothing that had to do with the book fair and she turned to Marissa with a confused look, but all Marissa did was smile and take her by the arm into the salon.

"Well Miss. Krissy since this book fair is your big event I thought that you can blow everyone away tomorrow and be pampered the day before and plus it gives us more bonding time. Me and my mom used to have spa days like this all the time. So we are going to start at the spa and work our way from there."

"Er…Okay I guess." Kristen said as she looked around the place that was painted all white and very beautiful woman were getting their hair and nails done.

"Ms. Williamsburg how are you?" asked a man who had spiked black hair and wore skin tight jeans with a skin tight black shirt. Around his waist was a utility belt, but instead of real tools it was filled with make-up brushes.

"Fab Marcello, just fab. So tomorrow my awesome soon-to-be step-daughter is putting on an amazing event and I am giving her a pre-event makeover." Marissa answered.

"Well let's get you started, hon." Marcello said as he took Kristen by the arm.



Everything went so fast for Kristen who was thrown into a world she had never encountered before. There she was first taken to the spa for an exfoliating rub down with what she remembered them telling her it was grape seeds. She was then rushed off for a mud wrap where she had a facial. She then caught back up to Marissa where they both had full body rub downs. She now sat in a robe as they started on her hair and nails. While getting her hair washed she let out gasps as they combed through every bit of her hair and started cutting the ends. The hair dresser kept letting out sighs as he went on and on about how her hair was completely damaged. It was dyed, but she had no idea what color they were dying it and then while she sat under the dryer there was a person working on each hand and someone working on her feet.

"How are you doing?" Marissa asked as she came to her wearing one of the comfy white robes that Kristen was wearing as she sipped a martini.

"Good I guess." Kristen said as she winced while the person was working on her hands. "I'm not sure how I will keep all of it up after this."

"I will help you keep it all up." Marissa said with a smile.

After Kristen was rushed off for them to finish her hair and then it was on to make-up where the woman was going on and on to Kristen on how to apply the different things. Kristen was actually happy it was all being explained because the only thing Kristen was every actually sure about knowing how to put on was lip gloss. It finally got to the moment where it was all done and a large mirror was brought in front of Kristen and she couldn't believe her eyes.

She wasn't Plain-Jane Kristen anymore, but a whole new person. It was the first time in her life that Kristen could ever remember seeing herself in the mirror and thinking, beautiful. She couldn't stop starring as she looked in the mirror. She kept moving her arms and touching her hair to make sure that the person she was seeing in the mirror was actually herself.

"Amazing." Kristen breathed.

"I can't wait to see your dad's face when I take you home." Marissa said happily giving Kristen a hug. "But we aren't done yet. I wanted to hit up a few stores."

It wasn't long after that they were out from the salon and in the car off to shop. The first place they stopped was Barneys where they left with all their arms full of bags and then on to Bendals, Saks, and ending the night at Bloomingdales. Walking into the apartment it took both women the driver and the doorman to bring up all the bags they had acquired on their shopping trip. When they arrived they noticed the apartment was still empty.

"Good your dad isn't here yet. I have a gift for you." Marissa said as she reached into her purse and pulled out a light teal box that had a white ribbon, it was the signature Tiffany's box. "I know I can never replace your mother, but I wanted something to give you as a representation of the type of relationship we have so I got you this."



Kristen opened the box and pulled out a beautiful diamond necklace that ended with a plain silver heart with a single diamond in the middle. She looked on the back of the heart and there was an inscription. "Like a daughter to me." It read. She smiled and hugged Marissa.

"Thanks. You're like a mom to me." Kristen said happily.

Waking up early in the morning Kristen was helped by Marissa who stayed the night to be able to help her get ready for school in the morning. Kristen waited outside in her brand new wool coat and heels with her Marc Jacobs bag thrown over her shoulder. The car pulled up and the driver opened the door for her like always. His eyes lingered on her for a moment before she slipped into the car. As she got inside Susan turned to her.

"I think you have the wrong car." Susan said to Kristen who simply laughed. "Seriously."

"You don't recognize your best friend?" Kristen questioned with a smile.

"Krissy." Susan asked with her mouth wide open and Kristen simply nodded. "Of course I didn't notice you. You like totally different. What happened?"

"Marissa happened I guess." Kristen said with a laugh. "When I got home from school she said she was taking me out and we ended up at a salon and this happened."

"Amazing." Was Susan's plain response.

When both girls arrived at school they did their everyday of walking up the stairs, but this time it was different because Kristen saw so many heads turn her way and she heard whistles coming her way. She tried not to blush, but she felt her face becoming very hot as they made their way up into the building. She took off her coat and turned to Susan.

"Suze, I feel odd." She then said as people passed all giving her looks.

"Of course you are the new hottie." Susan said with a laugh. "Let's get to class."

Taking her seat in the lab Kristen tried to not pay attention to all the stares she got as she sat looking down at her book. She then moved so that her hair covered her face from all the embarrassment. She felt the presence of a person next to her she knew at once who it was and from her seclusion from under her now smooth chocolate brown curly hair she rolled her eyes.

"So…er…how is the project coming?" he asked and she lifted her head and she turned to them. At once his eyes opened wide and he gasped as he starred at her.

"It's going good. Just perfect without your help." She spat as she turned back to the front of the classroom.



"I would like to do something. Maybe you could come over later and work on it like before." He then said as if he was admitting defeat.

"You obviously never listened to me when I was working with you because today is my book fair right after school so sorry can't." she said with a roll of her eyes as the teacher took her spot at the front of the class and before he could respond the teacher had started to give instructions. Of course as Kristen had predicted it was the condom and banana project. Each student was given a banana and a condom and a sheet on how use properly use a condom and they were instructed to then try with the banana.

Kristen glanced over at Chuck who was already finished and sitting back in his hair. She then rolled her eyes and went back to hers. As soon as she even tried the condom retracted and flew at her. "Eww." She said as she pulled it from her hair where it had landed.

"Here like this." Chuck said as he reached over and took the condom from her hand brushing her fingers with his. He gave her a smile before taking it and applying it to the banana. "Like that."

"Thanks." She answered in response to his help.

"I'm a pro of course." He said jokingly with a pro. Kristen's only response was shaking her head, but she couldn't help, but laugh at him. Before looking back up at the front of the class waiting for the next instructions. "By the way you look nice today." Chuck whispered.

"Er…thanks." Kristen said with a kind smile his way and the teacher was back up front with instructions.
